MTV has released a promo video of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West to promote the upcoming 2012 MTV VMAs.

The promotional clip, titled "VMAs Hottest Couple: Kevin, Kanye & Kim," confirms the announcement of Kevin Hart hosting the awards ceremony.

Hart teases the couple by calling the trio various nicknames for their appearance together.

"I'm talking about Kevye Kim," he says.

West and Kardashian express disapproval to the comedian's title suggestions.

Kevin Hart achieved critical success in the past year. His limited-run concert film, "Laugh at My Pain," earned $8 million.

The 32-year-old played the lead role in this year's successful hit romantic comedy "Think like a Man." He has also appeared in "The 40-Year Old Virgin," "Modern Family" and will appear in "Scary Movie 5" with Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen set for release in 2013.

Kanye West revealed he has a new song for an upcoming album dedicated to his reality star girlfriend. He announced the song's title and its inspiration via Twitter:

"I wrote the song Perfect B*tch about Kim," he tweeted.

The tweet went viral and has since been deleted.

Kim Kardashian is preparing to launch a shoe line with West.

According to Radar Online, the couple reportedly met with fashion mogul Francois-Henri Pinault to discuss financial backing for their joint venture.
