LOS ANGELES — Aziz Ansari says he's preparing to host his first awards show, the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, by stalking veteran Oscar host Billy Crystal.

"I'm outside of his house right now," Ansari joked by phone yesterday. "I've just kind of been watching Crystal from afar, outside his property."

MTV said Ansari, the 27-year-old star of NBC's "Parks and Recreation," will host the awards on June 6.

Network general manager Stephen Friedman said viewers loved Ansari on "Human Giant," the sketch comedy show he created, which ran on MTV for two seasons in 2007 and 2008.

Friedman called Ansari the perfect host for "the movie industry's most rebellious night on television."

DOUGLAS SAYS FAMILY FAME AFFECTED SON

NEW YORK — Michael Douglas says his family's fame and history of substance abuse helped drive his troubled son into drug addiction and crime, and the Academy Award-winning actor is asking a judge to show leniency toward him.

"I love my son, but I'm not blind to his actions. ... I don't want to see him break," the actor told the federal judge in a handwritten letter made public yesterday, on the eve of Cameron Douglas' sentencing in a drug case.

Cameron Douglas, arrested in July at a Manhattan hotel, admitted in January that he dealt methamphetamine and cocaine. He pleaded guilty to a drug charge that carries a mandatory 10 years in prison.
