THE 
September 5, 2008 Britney Spears To Kick Off MTV VMAs!
Take me higher lord! As previously posted, Britney Spears will indeed kick off the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday and here’s what she had to say!
“MTV has long played an important role in my career. How can I not be there to kick off their 25th VMAs?” Britney said in a statement to MTV. “I’m excited to open the entire show, to say hi to my fans and to be nominated.”
Can you believe that, despite her sixteen past nominations, she has never won a VMA? This year Brit-Brit is up for Video of the Year, Best Pop Video and Best Female Video for her single “Piece of Me.”
We all remember her disastrous performance of “Gimme More” at last year’s VMAs, and on that note Britney will not open this year’s show with a performance.
Instead, MTV Networks Music Group President Van Toffler said it will be something “fun and unexpected” to kick off Sunday night’s show.
“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,” Toffler said, referring to last year’s uninspired number. “I can’t wait to see what she does to kick off this year’s show.”
Her manager, Larry Rudolph, confirmed the news to Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush. Larry added in that Britney’s performance would be more of a cameo.
“She is not performing,” Larry told Billy. “She looks great and is very excited to be there.” Well love muffins Brit-Brit really does seem to have pulled it together and I can’t wait to see her do her thing on Sunday! The 25th MTV Video Music Awards air Sunday, September 7 at 9 PM EST.

maybe this will be a new beginning for her. I was happy to see her in that MTV promo for the VMAs with a full head of hair and respectable outfit.

btw, she’s still wearing a weave (but a much better one), her hair still isn’t fully grown out yet.
