Britney Spears To Open VMAs

Britney Spears will open the show at the MTV Video Music Awards when they take place in Los Angeles this Sunday!

We can reveal that the Piece Of Me singer- who last year flopped with her Gimme More performance- will not be singing but will appear at the beginning of the ceremony.

There has been speculation about whether Spears will, er, appear since she filmed a promo for the event with the British host Russell Brand.

Brit has been nominated in three categories this year- Best Pop Video, Best Female Video and Best Video

She told us: 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."
