Calabasas retailer and reality star Kim Kardashian is hosting the MTV Cribs Awards.

MTV is honoring previously featured celebrities who live large. For almost a decade, MTV has taken viewers inside hundreds of outlandish cribs to reveal the luxurious living of your favorite stars. 

What would be interesting is if MTV would actually do follow ups to see who was living well beyond their means, and who had to face foreclosures, repossession and bankruptcies for the unchecked consumerism and spending. 

There's some MTV-style "Real World" footage to be had.

Premiering on Saturday, March 7th at 1PM ET/PT, Kardashian will host the first ever MTV Cribs Awards as we honor the best in colossal closets, home theaters, party pads, top-notch décor and more.

The mansion marathon continues as the network premieres five all new back-to-back episodes of MTV Cribs beginning at 2:30PM ET/PT.

MTV reveals that the awards doled out will "honor" Best Bachelor/Bachelorette Crib, Best Sneaker Collection, Best Cribs Bling, Best Beach Bungalow and of course, Best Crib.

Fans can press their noses against their screens to ogle the excesses of Criss Angel, Akon, Brittany Gastineau, Verne Troyer, Christian Audigier, Young Joc, Andy Hurley, Kerry Rhodes, Marques Houston, Derek Anderson, Al Harrington and more.

Verne Troyer?
