It is now confirmed by MTV that Britney is going to do something to open the VMAs, which air this Sunday. They still maintain that she’s not going to be performing, but will be presenting. Earlier reports had a full dressing room allocated to the pop star, which would seem excessive for someone just making some introductions, but this is Britney.
What could she be doing? Is it a skit of some sort, a joking intro to another performance? Britney pretty much fell flat in last year’s opening segment and she’s got something to prove, but needs to be careful about it:
It’s Official! Britney Spears Will Appear At VMAs This Weekend
‘I’m excited to open the entire show, to say hi to my fans and to be nominated,’ singer says.Will she or won’t she? For weeks, that’s been the buzz, and some of the most hard-core Britney Spears watchers have weighed in with opinions about what an appearance at this weekend’s VMAs might do for the singer’s career.
Well, now it’s official: Britney will appear at Sunday’s VMAs, which take place at Paramount Studios in Hollywood and begin at 9 p.m. ET. Although the pop star will not be performing, she will open the show.
The singer — who has been nominated for many VMAs but has not yet won one — will be on hand to see if this year is her year. She’s nominated for three awards: Best Female Video, Best Pop Video, and Video of the Year for “Piece of Me.”
“MTV has long played an important role in my career,” Spears said in a statement. “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.”
It’s unclear exactly what Britney has up her sleeve, but based on the singer’s previous VMA appearances (check out some of Britney’s past VMA performances right here), it’s sure to leave people talking.
“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,” said Van Toffler, president of MTV Networks Music/ LOGO/ Films Group. “I can’t wait to see what she does to kick off this year’s show.”

Maybe Britney will co-host the whole thing along with comic Russell Brand. They did appear in promos together, and there was a story from a hairdresser preparing looks for Britney that she would have at least three different styles for the show. My money is on co-hosting and some kind of mild introduction that pokes fun at herself over the years. Britney has shown that she’s a decent actress and I think she could pull it off.

That second photo is…..strange. She could easily pass for 40
Here’s wishing her well though
I think she looks good in the second pic….but why the blond hair, she looked so much better as a brunette.
I agree xiaoecho I think it’s the heavy eyeliner. I also think you can tell when she’s having ‘manic’ episodes by her appearance alone. Her hair is greasy & unkempt & the bright red lipstick always makes me think “somthings coming”… like the pink wig, it’s a sign that somethings not right.
That being said, I’m still holding out hope for a surprise performance at the VMA’s. She CAN do it. It’s a matter of her handlers allowing it to happen.
She could stumble around like a petrified 6th grader during her first school play, but she did that last time.
and WTF is up with her neck ?
I think she’s going to pull it off. I’m rooting for her.
Yeah, the black liner is way too much. Makes her eyes look droopy.
Britney looks haggard and old and tired… but thats what years of drug abuse and boozing do to you…very sad, she was once very beautiful. So sad that she has all these mental health issues.
