Britney Spears Threatens Encore At MTV Video Music Awards

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

While appearing with a 900-pound elephant, nobody can call Britney Spears fat again when she's doing a MTV gig.

But that is Britney's costar on the TV screen while dishing with Russell Brand, the little-known British comic who's hosting the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards. It's one of the cheeky promos teasing the Sept. 7 event.

At one point Brand suggests that there is sexual tension between them, but Britney shrugs, "I didn't feel any tension." Wait . . . that supposed to be hilarious, right?

And wait again. Does this mean that Britney will be performing again at the crazy kudofest?

Reuters reminds us: "Spears, coming off two marriages, two children and two stints in rehab, sought to launch a comeback on last year’s show with a performance of the song 'Gimme More.' Instead, she drew a torrent of ridicule for lumbering around on stage in an ill-fitting black bikini as she awkwardly lip-synced her way through the dance number. The incident proved a publicity bomb for Spears but a ratings boon for MTV."

Coyly, MTV won't say whether or not Britney will be part of the entertainment, but she's scheduled to attend because she's got two nominations for "Piece of Me."

Despite 16 nominations, Britney's never won an MTV Video Music Award. Now she competes against Mariah Carey, Katy Perry, Rihanna and Jordin Sparks for best female video and against Danity Kane, the Jonas Brothers, Panic at the Disco and Tokio Hotel for the best pop video.

Britney To Co-host VMAs?

The following italicized article is from www.people.co.uk:

Vip would love to have been there if RUSSELL BRAND and BRITNEY SPEARS had met before they sorted their lives out...

But the pair have cleaned up their acts (well, ish) - and managed to get on with some work when they did hook up.

Comic Russ, 33, and pop star Britney, 26, will present the MTV Video Music Awards in September.

Meanwhile, reformed Britney also showed she is juggling work and motherhood well. She treated sons Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, one, to a day out near her Bel Air home in LA.

Brit lost custody of her children to ex-hubby KEVIN FEDERLINE, 30, after a court battle. But she is allowed to have them three times per week.

The singer has certainly turned things around. In February she was admitted to a psychiatric ward after she was apparently seen talking to trees.

Brit-Brit looking fit-fit!

Britney Spears leaves Lisa Kline on Robertson Blvd in Los Angeles, Calif., on Saturday.

The 26-year-old singer has just done a spot for MTV’s Video Music Awards with first-time host, Russell Brand (Forgetting Sarah Marshall).

This comes a year after Brit-Brit’s uninspired performance during the 2007 MTV Music Awards.

“Britney looked really good,” says a source. “It was improvisational questions and answers with Russell Brand just like [other promo guest stars] LL Cool J and Pete Wentz did. Russell joked about there being sexual tension, and Britney shot back, ‘I don’t feel the tension’. The other joke was about no one knowing who Russell was so she called him by the wrong name. LL called him Russell Bland and Britney called him Russell Brown.”

Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World

Description:

“Lynne was just an ordinary Southern mom when the overnight success of her daughter Britney shoved the Spears family into the blinding limelight glare.

Through the Storm takes readers beyond the reach of the paparazzi and outside the narrow orbit of the Hollywood glitterati to share the inside story of the Spears family-as only a mother can tell it. In this openhearted memoir, Lynne speaks about Britney, Jamie Lynn, Bryan, ex-husband Jamie, herself, and their lives together from Louisiana to Los Angeles, including:

Lynne’s backseat role in Britney’s path to fame and how it forever changed their family

Her regret in abdicating parental authority to managers, agents, and record companies.

The challenges that shaped Lynne and Jamie’s marriage and how that affected Bryan, Britney, and Jamie Lynn.

Her response to Jamie Lynn’s pregnancy.

The startling events that led to Britney’s meltdown and Lynne’s showdown with manager Sam Lufti.

How faith, family, and friendships have been her harbor in the storm of paparazzi, tabloid scribblers, and gossip hounds.

Sincere, self-effacing, sometimes spunky, Lynne’s memoir reveals the heart of a mother who has struggled through difficult times and how she has held onto her faith and her sense of humor as she tries to hold onto her family.”
