Britney Spears arrives at Generation Rescue's Event on July 19, 2008 in Los Angeles, California.Us Magazine
"MTV has long played an important role in my career," Spears, 26, says in a statement to Us. "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," she adds.
Spears is nominated this year for Best Female Video, Best Pop Video and Video of the Year for "Piece of Me." She has been nominated 17 times before but never walked away with a "Moonman."

Spears' camp long denied a performance is in the works.
"Britney Spears will not be performing at the VMAs this year. I'm telling you officially and unequivocally," Ryan Seacrest quoted her manager, Larry Rudolph, as saying on his KIIS-FM radio show last week.

Last year, Spears raised eyebrows after her rocky opening performance of "Gimme More." The New York Times called her "awful," writing that she "tottered around the stage, dancing tentatively and doing nothing that sounded or looked like real live singing."
"Britney has done everything from perform with a snake, lock lips with Madonna and prove that what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas," MTV Networks president Van Toffler tells Us. "I can't wait to see what she does to kick off this year's show."

The 25th annual awards telecast, hosted by British actor/comedian Russell Brand, will air live at 9 p.m. ET/PT from Paramount Studios in Hollywood.

hookemPlease spare us all the misery of such a skank. I will quickly turn the channel. Brit is a horrible mother and "role model" who neglects and hurts her kids. Yet she still has fans, which just proves that she is not the only loser in the world.report abuseposted September 4, 2008 2:03 AM PDT
