Justin Bieber, B.o.B To Perform At 2010 VMAs Ke$ha and Ashley Greene join the star-studded presenters list for the live show on September 12.
By Jocelyn Vena (@jocelyn1212)
One is a teen pop phenomenon known for inducing Beatles-level hysteria in his fans, the other, a free-spirit Atlanta MC whose debut album suddenly shot to pop success. Now, Justin Bieber and B.o.B are set to hit the stage as performers at this year's 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. Bieber and B.o.B join already announced performers Kanye West, Drake and Florence and the Machine.
Four-time nominee Ke$ha and "Twilight" star Ashley Greene will also be among the night's presenters when the show goes live on September 12 from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. The night will mark the first VMA performances for both Bieber (who presented at last year's ceremony) and B.o.B.
"I'm excited to be performing at the VMAs. It is all still unbelievable, because last year I went for the first time and no one knew who I was," said Bieber, who's nominated for Best New Artist. "Just really shows that dreams can come true and what incredible, dedicated fans I have. I'm a lucky guy and grateful. Now I just want to get on that stage, have some fun in front of my heroes, because at the end of the day I'm still a kid and still a fan."
B.o.B is up for five Moonmen, including Video of the Year and Best Male Video.
"It's very special to me. I think it's a lot more special than the success of the singles, because this reflects the work I've put in over the years and the word of mouth I've helped create," B.o.B recently told MTV News about his nominations. "It's definitely amazing. I'm trying to find the words to explain it, but I can't. It's inexplicable. I'm a real simple man, so, you know, I accept every gift with generosity and gratitude."
Other previously announced presenters include Nicki Minaj, Emma Stone, Penn Badgley, Trey Songz, Selena Gomez and Ne-Yo. Additional performers and presenters, as well as the VMA host, will be announced in the weeks to come.
Bieber recently shot a new VMA promo in which he made like the Beatles, with a group of rabid female fans chasing after him — something he had no issues with. "I'm kind of like the Beatles running, and there's girls chasing after me," he said about the retro-flavored promo. "I like girls chasing me, so it's good."
What do you want to hear Justin and B.o.B perform? Share your wish list with us in the comments!
The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on September 12 at 9 p.m. ET. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for the winners in general categories, including Best New Artist, from now through September 12.

Chelsea Handler To Host The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards VMAs air live from Los Angeles on Sunday, September 12, at 9 p.m. ET.
By James Montgomery (@positivnegativ)
The censors have been put on high alert, and the celebs have been given fair warning: Sardonic and sass-tacular comedian Chelsea Handler has been tapped to host the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards — airing live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 12, at 9 p.m. ET — and things are probably gonna get a little raw.
Handler — best known for her exploits on the outrageous late-night talk show "Chelsea Lately" and her three best-selling, brutally honest (and brutally funny) books — won't pull any punches on VMA night. She'll also be making a little history, becoming only the second woman to fly solo as VMA host and the first since 1994, back when Roseanne Barr lorded over the proceedings.
She'll join a rapidly growing roster of performers (including Kanye West, Florence and the Machine, B.o.B and Justin Bieber) and presenters (Ke$ha, Nicki Minaj, Ashley Greene and Ne-Yo) for the big show. And more names are being added daily.
While the stage will be overflowing with stars, the actual winners of the VMAs will be determined by you. Viewers can vote for their favorites by visiting VMA.MTV.com. In addition, text voting for Best New Artist is open to all wireless carrier subscribers by texting BNA to 97979. Voting continues through the show, live on September 12. Also, Verizon Wireless subscribers can vote in all categories by texting VMA to 97979 (standard message rates apply). Voting closes September 12.
The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on September 12 at 9 p.m. ET. Be there!

Chelsea Handler: Four Things To Know About 2010 VMA Host Comedian has written two New York Times best-sellers and has an affinity for rappers.
By Gil Kaufman
For the nearly 1 million viewers who tune in to watch "Chelsea Lately" every night on E!, host Chelsea Handler is the equivalent of a catty best girlfriend whose barbed opinions on celebrities are like a copy of Us Weekly come to life, only way, way funnier.
Since she started hosting the half-hour show in 2007 as a relative unknown, Handler has grown to become one of the most in-demand female comedians on the stand-up circuit, launched a successful career as a humor author and, most importantly, landed the gig as host of the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, making her the first XX-chromosome holder to get the gig in 15 years.
But what do you need to know about Handler before tuning in?
She really, really likes rappers: Handler has made no secret of her infatuation with rappers, batting her eyes and indulging in long hugs and flirty conversations with everyone from Snoop Dogg to Fat Joe, Pharrell and the most consistent object of her affections, T.I. The King of the South paid a visit to Handler just before he went away to prison for a year on weapons charges in 2009, during which she apparently came through on her promise to send him adult reading material. After he was sprung, she asked him about his time behind bars in June when he made a return visit. She also recently replaced the usual gaggle of comedians on her nightly roundtable with a trio of rappers that included Rick Ross, Lil Jon and Big Boi.
She sells tons of books: Two of Handler's three books have hit the #1 slot on the New York Times Best Seller list, including 2008's essay collection "Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea" as well as this year's "Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang." Her salacious 2005 memoir, "My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands," was on the best-seller list for 80 weeks.
She's appeared alongside "Hangover" star Ken Jeong in a TV show: Handler was part of the ensemble cast of the short-lived Oxygen reality comedy series "Girls Behaving Badly," which also featured Jeong. She was a correspondent for the first run of Jay Leno's "Tonight Show" and has appeared since 2007 on the Web series "In the Motherhood," which also stars her real-life pal, Jenny McCarthy.
Justin Bieber totally tried to score a date with her: Despite a 20-year age difference, a then-15-year-old Bieber got very comfy with Handler when he appeared on her show in 2009, just as his career was beginning to take off. In addition to a series of sly winks, Bieber gave the host some advice on how to flirt, and they bonded about getting B-12 shots in the butt. "I think you're a lot cooler than they are," Bieber said when asked if he'd rather be hanging with friends such as Usher and Justin Timberlake. "You seem like a really sweet boy — don't let this town ruin you," she said. "So, tonight at 7?" he responded with a smile.
Handler will work the mic at this year's Video Music Awards, which air live from Los Angeles on September 12 at 9 p.m. ET. This is the first time the L.A.-based star will host the event, where celebs like Lady Gaga, Eminem, Drake, Usher and Katy Perry are up for Moonmen. Among the performers set to hit the stage are Kanye West, B.o.B, Florence and the Machine and her former flirt buddy, Bieber.
The talk-show diva is the latest in a long list of comics to handle hosting duties at the VMAs. In 1985, Eddie Murphy took the cameras backstage at Radio City Music Hall and surprised guests with an impromptu visit to the ladies' room. Arsenio Hall presided over the festivities four years in a row, armed with a collection of DayGlo suits and a quick wit that sparked the requisite barking chorus from the crowd. Fellow late-night comic Jimmy Fallon kicked off his 2002 hosting duties with an amped-up musical number. Chris Rock helped MTV turn 20 in 2003, delivering a memorable opening monologue that rivaled the infamous Madonna/ Britney Spears/ Christina Aguilera smooch. Potty-mouthed Brit Russell Brand flexed his skills on two different coasts, hosting in Hollywood in 2008 and returning the next year to helm the 2009 VMAs' New York City homecoming.
The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on September 12 at 9 p.m. ET. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for the winners from now through September 12.

So apparntly Chelsea confirmed no Gaga performance this year... cold it be a surprise? Heard about this. If they confirm a Beyonce performance, I'll believe Gaga will make a surprise appearance. But I actually believe she won't be there. I'm curious to if Beyonce will be there. This is like 2005, DIL's second round at the VMA's where Naughty Girl won best female video. Bey showed up for it, even after the hugenight she had the year prior when DIL was still fresh. Hope she's there, but I don't really expect it.

Btw I'm predicting Taylor Swift as their next big performance name-drop. But even with her added the list seems a bit weak.

Unless they add Beyonce and Lady GaGa that list will be weak in my opinion. I'm looking forward to see them doing Telephone together for the first time.

Well, weak or not, those names are what's at the top of the charts now. I'm sure we will see some more popular names mentioned.

The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards just got Shadier. Eminem, who is nominated for eight VMAs this year including Best Male Video and Video of the Year for “Not Afraid,” is slated to hit the stage at this year’s ceremony, making it his fourth performance since his VMA debut in 1999.
Em, who was recently crowned the year’s best-selling rap artist, joins Drake, Kanye West and B.o.B as performers during the star-studded show. His past appearances have been iconic, including his “Night of the Living Shadys” performance where he stormed into NYC’s Radio City Music Hall backed by an army of clones to the tune of his Video of the Year-winning smash “The Real Slim Shady.”
The Detroit native sparked controversy last year when he and comedian Sacha Baron Cohen pulled a prank on viewers. Cohen, dressed as his character Bruno, planted his exposed buttocks on the emcee’s face in what was believed to be a flying wire malfunction, prompting Em to storm out of the venue. The pair later explained it was all in jest.
The 27th annual event, hosted by Chelsea Handler, will feature presenters including Best New Artist nominee Nicki Minaj, Trey Songz, Ne-Yo, Emma Stone and more. The show will be broadcast live from Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre on Sunday, September 12 at 9 P.M.
