Even after the drunken shiny bikini debacle, MTV wants to hit Britney Spears one more time. That's right, she's going to open the MTV Music Awards this Sunday. While we're busy being super excited that this year we'll finally, maybe be brave enough to pull of this Halloween costume and it will still be timely, MTV is raking in the publicity yet protecting its own ass.
Spears will open the show with something "fun and unexpected" (read: not a "vocal" performance).
"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.
"I think for Britney, people are rooting for her, and she's really on the road to recovery," said the president of MTV, who noted that she'd been for three VMAs, including video of the year, for her clip "Piece of Me."
"It feels like it's her year. It's our 25th anniversary of the VMAs, and she's been such a critical piece of MTV's history."
Um, yeah. Eespecially after the VMA's ratings were up 23% after Spears's last performance.
But MTV beware, if she doesn't do something skanky and stupid, we're going to be really, really disappointed.
