It looks like the days of "A" list hosts for the VMAs have gone the way of music videos on MTV. Comedienne Chelsea Handler, from E!'s "Chelsea Lately," will be hosting this year's MTV Video Music Awards.

"This has been a huge year for hip-hop and rap, and it is well-known that I have the closest ties with these communities - musically and sexually," said Chelsea Handler. "I am to rap and hippity-hop, what Warren Buffet is to finance, minus the sex."

As previously announced, Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Drake, B.o.B and Florence + The Machine. Ke$ha, Nicki Minaj, Emma Stone, Penn Badgley, Trey Songz, Ashley Greene, Selena Gomez and Ne-Yo are confirmed to present.

The "2010 MTV Video Music Awards" will air live from Nokia Theater L.A. Live in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 12, 2010 at 9PM (Live ET/Tape delayed PT.) MTV will announce additional performers and presenters on a later date.
