We all know later on rumours were dispelled that Britney Spears will not be acting at this year's MTV Video Music Awards, and after last's years fatal performance, world Health Organization can fault organisers?
But due such high success of her latest album "Blackout" , including hits 'Break the Ice', 'Gimme More' and 'Piece of Me'. Britney will superstar at this year's MTV Video Music Awards, just not in the 'getting on stage and miming' kind of way.
Spears testament be given the ball, so to speak, to open the 25th yearbook edition of the MTV VMAs on Sunday at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, according to MTV's website.
Spears has likewise received trey nominations for the clip to her single "Piece of Me" -- Best Female Video, Best Pop Video and Video of the Year.
"MTV has long played an important persona in my career," Spears said in a statement. "How tin can I not be in that location to kick off their 25th VMAs? I'm emotional to open the total show, to say hi to my fans and to be nominated."
Exactly how she planned to heart-to-heart the show remained unreadable, but something tells me it will be big. In old appearances at the awards she has kissed Madonna and performed with a writhing snake (and wasn't that sexy at the time!).
Despite her long history with the awards and success in her life history, Spears has yet to win an MTV Video Music Award, and her nominations this year are particularly tantalizing after that infamous performance in 2007.
Coming off two marriages, deuce children and two stints in rehab, things look to have settled fairly in late times and Spears is said to be cleanup up her act and back in the recording studio this summer, on the job on a new album.
The MTV VMAs, long considered a hipper version of the Grammys, will be broadcast unrecorded on MTV on September 7, hosted by British comedian Russell Brand.
In the Video of the Year category, Spears is competing against the Jonas Brothers' "Burnin Up," Chris Brown's "Forever," The Pussycat Dolls' "When I Grow Up" and "Shut Up and Let Me Go" by the Ting Tings.
