Will she or won’t she appear on stage? That’s been the question that’s dogged Britney Spears ever since the pop princess was nominated at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, scheduled to air live this Sunday, September 7th. While Spears’ reps have outright stated the singer won’t perform at the event, it was announced last night that she will kick off the awards show in what is being called “an opening not to be missed.” “MTV has long played an important role in my career. How can I not be there to kick off their 25th VMAs? I’m excited to open the entire show, to say hi to my fans and to be nominated,” Spears said in a statement. Spears is up for three major awards at the VMAs, including Video of the Year for “Piece of Me.” “Britney has done everything from perform with a snake, lock lips with Madonna and prove that what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas,” MTV president Van Toffler added.

This is the BIG show opening surprise mtv is hyping?! I’m glad to see spears is getting her life back together and all, but if this is the huge surprise they are trying to hook people with I gotta say its kind of lame. Last years vma’s in vegas had some really cool moments but this year already kinda seems like a lackluster show……here’s for hoping I’m wrong.

This is a joke, right? Please tell me this is a joke.
Does MTV now stand for “Most Travelled Vagina” ????!!!!!
Spears needs to hang up her G-string, stop playing media slut, and start raising her f**king kids.

haha the two previous comments make me laugh…why do you care? MTV has been the worst, most pathetic channel on television in the last 10 years. the VMAs don’t mean shit in the music world.

I still have a feeling their might be somewhat of a performance going on, I also think she will walk away with at least one award because this show is totally rigged and their has been way to much hype for her to go empty handed. It is like Amy Winehouse and the grammys, I know many of you are thinking no comparison because you think well she is actually talented and it was the grammys, but They also went out of their way so that amy winehouse could perform and accept her awards, and they totally made a big deal about it. Hell Mtv actually owes a little bit to her after helping to exploit her while she was in self destruction mode. But that is my opinion.
