The following italicized article is from www.thesun.co.uk:BRITNEY SPEARS will share a stage with her old pop rival CHRISTINA AGUILERA at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards.
The pair battled for chart supremacy at the height of their fame, then fought over MADONNA’s tongue at the 2003 MTV bash.
But now Britney is to take on Christina again by fighting to steal the show in Los Angeles.
Yesterday Brit said she would open the show, hosted by our very own RUSSELL BRAND.
Brit, pictured arriving at a studio to prepare for the bash, said: “MTV has long played an important role in my career. How can I not be there to kick off their 25th VMAs?”
Britney is up for Best Female Video, Best Pop Video and Video of the Year for her track Piece Of Me.
But organisers were trying to keep secret that they have also signed up Christina to perform.
Britney is pulling out all the stops to emerge triumphant after her disastrous appearance at last year’s do. With a vacant stare, flabby appearance and dismal lip-synching, her performance of Gimme More, left, was a real low point.
A source said: “The shambolic appearance severely damaged the Spears brand. This time she’s determined it will be different.”
In the Nineties, Brit and Christina battled for on-air supremacy as Mouseketeers — key cast members on US TV show The Mickey Mouse Club.
Brit then pipped her rival to global chart domination in 1998 with Baby One More Time.
Christina’s early X-rated image did little to endear her to a wide public. But after ditching the shock tactics, she has matured into a classy global entertainer, while Brit slid into head-shaving madness.
Maybe they could take inspiration from their 2003 show and kiss and make up on stage. Literally.
