You didn’t think MTV would have a party and not invite Usher, did you? The 2010 Video Music Awards just got bigger, with the addition of Ush to the list of performers at the September 12 show, as well as Paramore, who are slated to give a special performance during the event hosted by “Chelsea Lately” star comedian Chelsea Handler.

Usher, who just this week dropped the sequel to his hit Raymond v. Raymond album, Versus, is nominated in the Best Male Video, Best Dance Music Video and Best Choreography categories for “OMG.” Paramore are nominated for Best Rock Video, and singer Hayley Williams’ “Airplanes” collaboration with B.o.B is up for Best Collaboration, Best Male Video, Best Hip-Hop Video and Video of the Year. They will join an all-star roster of performers that already includes Eminem, Kanye West, Justin Bieber, B.o.B, Drake and Florence + the Machine.

In addition, house artist Deadmau5 will have plenty of help throughout the night, as he’ll be joined by by Travie McCoy, Jason Derülo and Robyn, who will perform never-before-heard mixes of their current hits.

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. Go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for the Best New Artist video through September 12.
