B.o.B.’s hit single “Magic,” featuring Rivers Cuomo, is an impossible-to-resist, get-on-your-feet, feel-good party of a track. And that’s exactly what his “Magic” video is, too, starting with a seemingly mundane morning that’s about to get a whole lot better and a whole lot weirder.

A magic sink magically filled with cereal? Magically hot girls magically occupying your suburban bungalow? Rivers Cuomo magically appearing out of nowhere and throwing a magical concert on the lawn? It’s all going on in the wonderfully weird, magical mind of B.o.B., who shows off not only his lightning-fast rap skills but also his mind games in his “Magic” video.

Chelsea Handler is a notorious offender. Offender of celebrities great–Robert Pattinson–and small–Snooki. (And by small, we mean tiny in size, of course!) So what’s Chelsea going to do when she hosts the 2010 MTV VMAs? Have a few vodka tonics and hope for the best? Go out there guns blazing? In her new VMA promos, she faces the music. And that music happens to be a seating chart of all of the VMA stars in the audience that night. And it’s not looking good. Chelsea’s offended them all. Except for one man. And that man is Kid Rock… Well, at least for now.

In her Chelsea Handler’s first VMA promo video, Kid Rock takes on the comedian and VMA hostess. In Chelsea’s next VMA promo video, Kid Rock and Chelsea colorfully outline the conditions of a game of “Would You Rather” involving Lady Gaga and Snooki.

The VMAs are still 10 days away, but Nicki Minaj is already all over them like sticky on buns. We’ve got Nicki Minaj, Best New Artist nominee. We’ve got Nicki Minaj, VMA Pre-Show performer, where she’s bringing 10 lucky fans along with her. And we’ve got Nicki Minaj, VMA presenter. And we’ve seen the photos of a retro Nicki Minaj and Nicki on a motorcycle looking tres Catwoman at her VMA promo shoot. And poor Nicki thought she wouldn’t even be invited to the VMAs. Huh? Hardly. The “M” in VMAs pretty much stands for Minaj.

We couldn’t keep the lid on our VMA Nicki Minaj news much longer. Now we’ve got the video Nicki fans have been waiting for. It’s Nicki Minaj’s 2010 MTV VMA promo. In the retro clip, we see young Nicki posing in front of a mirror, dreaming of dominating the rap game, Nicki as a not-so-desperate housewife, enjoying a comfortable 1950s existence as her man bakes her a fresh pie, and Nicki Minaj revving the engine on a hot purple ride (are we allowed to say “crotch rocket”?) as she speeds off to the 2010 MTV VMAs.

It’s clever, it’s campy, and it’s totally Nicki.

Life can be a little repetitive. Take the same bus or train to the same job, only to take the same bus or train to watch television and sleep. Rinse and repeat, right? Well, not for Jared Leto. The 30 Seconds To Mars frontman and master thespian lives every day, not like it’s his last, but like it’s his best.

Let’s just break down what Jared Leto’s been getting into for the last couple of days:

+ On August 31 he bravely and brazenly did away with his “Marshawk” (official 30 Seconds To Mars mohawk, that is). He even tweeted photographic evidence of it:

+ On September 1, Jared Leto and the rest of his Mars bandmates sat down with MTV News to talk about the band’s planned entrance to the 2010 MTV VMAs. It sounds…interesting, to say the least: “We have an entrance plan that has never, ever been done before in the history of the VMAs. Basically, it’s like ‘Seinfeld’ but not… It’s like open-heart surgery on the dance floor, it’s like taking your eyeballs out and putting them in the opposite sockets. It’s going to be crazy.”

+ Then, later that night, he went to the Nylon magazine release party, arriving on a white bicycle, of all things.

+ And today there’s been a flurry of loving tweets between Jared Leto and acclaimed photographer Terry Richardson, following what looks like a pretty fun photo shoot.

Whew! That’s just three days, man! Watch 30 Seconds To Mars talk about their MTV VMAs entrance below.

A few days ago, when Kim Kardashian tweeted that she had just left her 2010 MTV VMAs rehearsal and that it “was going to funny,” we had no idea what she was referring to. And to be honest, we still don’t. Don’t come looking for VMA spoilers here, folks. Our lips are sealed.

Two people whose lips are decidedly not sealed are the mouthy dudes with Kim on the cover of Hong Kong’s Prestige magazine. Kim is rocking a pretty incredibly spiked metal dress by The Blonds (who have done some incredible work with Lady Gaga). She had blogged about the dangerous-looking dress a couple of weeks back. Paired with some downright dazzling Louboutins, you had to know something daring was coming.

And you could certainly call the above magazine cover daring. Will Kim bring some of that devil-may-care attitude — and maybe even some of her naked friends — to the 2010 MTV VMAs? Guess we have to wait and see…
