Widely panned for her glazed-over performance at last year's show, Spears is at present in negotiations with MTV to pretend an coming into court at the Sept. 7 ceremony, a spokesperson for MTV aforementioned Tuesday. While the net said nothing has been finalized � only Lil Wayne and the Jonas Brothers ar confirmed so far � Spears is already coming into court in promotional ads for the telecast.
"This is for real," Spears tells VMA host Russell Brand in one of two musca volitans for the VMAs, which were taped last week, according to MTV. In the ads, Spears, dressed in black with blond hair cascading down her shoulders, giggles as she and Brand banter flirtatiously. She looks sexy, sure-footed and fit � the antithesis of her show at last year's ceremony.
Spears' 2007 public presentation was heavily hyped to be her comeback afterwards months of negative publicity and erratic behavior. Though her dishevelled look and bleary routine during "Gimme More" only became the new benchmark for Spears' decline, it was besides the most talked about performance not only of the bear witness, but perhaps the year.
Since then, Spears, 26, has appeared to have cleaned up her act. Her father James has been in control of her personal and professional matters as her legal conservator, and she drew highschool ratings and reviews when she made guest appearances on CBS' "How I Met Your Mother" earlier this year.
Spears is running on a new record album. If she were to perform, it would sure be a ratings bonanza; last year's VMA's was up 23 percent over the 2006 show.
Van Toffler, head of MTV Networks Music Groups, admitted as much in June when he aforementioned there was a possibility that Spears could appear at this year's event, to be held in Los Angeles.
"I'm not sure how we top Britney opening the show," aforesaid Toffler.
A Britney sequel just might work.
