FORGET about Anna Nicole Smith's boob-baring antics, this year's MTV
awards are set to stage the stoush of the Sydney It girls.

Just days before the pop-tastic event, Confidential can reveal
upcoming supermodel Cheyenne Tozzi threw a super-sized tantrum when
her surfing champion boyfriend Taj Burrow was asked to present an
award with bikini pin-up girl Lara "bloody" Bingle.

Never far from a bungle since her rise to fame as the face of
Tourism Australia's controversial ad campaign, beach babe Bingle was
invited by MTV organisers to present the Best Hip Hop gong alongside
waxhead Burrow at the hyped event next Wednesday.

Happy to prolong her 15 minutes of fame in front of billions of MTV
viewers worldwide, Bingle, 18, agreed, but we hear sparks started
flying when fellow Sutherland Shire stunner Tozzi found she had been
upstaged.

According to MTV insiders, Tozzi, 17, "did everything she could" to
prevent the presentation from going ahead, including numerous phone
calls to organisers threatening a no-show from Burrow if the line-up
wasn't changed.

Unperturbed and safe in the knowledge that Bingle had already signed
on, amused MTV heads told Tozzi Burrow was dispensable and that they
didn't care if he showed up or not.

It was only then a defeated Tozzi backed down, and Bingle and Burrow
are finally locked in to share the stage.

Agents for the two dismissed the reports as being "ridiculous"
yesterday, but Tozzi will no doubt watch the duo with green eyes
next week.
