VMA Host Offers Clues About Britney Spears' Opening Act

The following italicized article is from www.usmagazine.com:

British comic Russell Brand won't spill the beans on what exactly Britney Spears will do when she opens Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards.

But he'll tell you this much: "She's not serving canapés or doing a bizarre haircut on herself!" he said on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show Thursday.

"She's not performing, but she's certainly doing [the show] in a professional capacity," said Brand, 33, who serves as host.

He admitted he has some tricks up his sleeve for the pop star.

"I might get the opportunity to pinch her back in revenge for the trailer," he joked, referencing their cheeky TV promo. "I know at some point I will try and pinch her!"

In a statement Wednesday, the 26-year-old singer — who suffered an embarrassing performance at last year's show — said she was "excited" about returning to the stage.

"MTV has long played an important role in my career," she said. "How can I not be there to kick off their 25th VMAs?"

Spears, who has been nominated 17 times, is also up for three awards for her "Piece of Me" video.

Plenty of people will be rooting for her.

"She is so on her game and ready to prove to everyone that she is back," Lance Bass told Usmagazine.com at a Facebreaker bash in Hollywood on Wednesday. "She needs no advice from me - she is a seasoned professional."
