        And speaking of campy & trampy, Comedienne Chelsea Handler is confirmed to host the 2010 VMAs! Don't worry, she's no stranger to hosting TV programs - she's been the wisecracking anchor on her late-night show "Chelsea Lately" since 2007. Known for her tongue-in-cheek commentary, Chelsea's honest and witty banter ... like the many ways she describes her vagina in yiddish....real clever....ah hum.

Or Hot Tubbing with Snooki & The Situation from the Jersey Shore,causing Chelsea having a unplanned pregnancy , revealing her sudden funny tummy.

The nominees for the 2010 Video Music Awards, include Lady Gaga unsurprisingly leading the race with a record 13 nominations (16 if you include the nods for her collaboration with Beyoncé, 'Video Phone'), including Best Female Video and two nods for the coveted Video of the Year.

While the usual suspects -- Beyoncé, Usher, Jay Z, and Eminem -- are well represented among the nominees, indier fair like Florence + the Machine and 30 Seconds to Mars also got some love from MTV. Our BFF, Justin Bieber, is up for Best New Artist, a category up for public vote, so you just know he's a lock. Biggest snub? Rihanna, who earned just one nomination for the editing of her 'Rude Boy' video.
Other performers on the show include Linkin Park, Usher, Eminem, Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Drake, Paramore, B.o.B, Florence + The Machine, along with Travie McCoy, Jason Derulo and Robyn who will perform with this year’s VMA house artist, deadmau5.
