Britney Lax Opening10

Wow. This should be interesting! Britney Spears will be appearing at the VMAs this year! Here’s the press release:

“After weeks of mind-blowing media speculation, MTV confirms today that Britney Spears will be opening the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards. Celebrating her long awaited comeback to her fans, Spears will be performing LIVE her new song “Gimme More” from her highly anticipated new album due on November 13th. The star studded awards show will air live Sunday, September 9th at 9PM Live ET/Tape delayed PT.”

Jesse Ignjatovic, the executive producer of this year’s VMAs said:

“I guess, looking back, we’ve had a great history with her. Some of the biggest TV performances [of her career] have been at the VMAs. And fortunately, [when we approached her about performing], she was into it and excited to do it. I wanted her to come on and make a statement right from the very beginning of the show. And she’ll kill it. I wanted to start the show in a very big and dramatic way, and she’s the one to do that. She’ll captivate everyone, and set the tone for the rest of the night. There’s no one better.

“You can expect the things we want and expect from Britney — that will all be there. What I’ve seen of it is great. She’ll be dancing, performing, doing her thing. That’s exactly what we all want. Fans that are familiar with her performance on previous VMAs will not be disappointed.”

Geez - I can barely wait. I wonder what role Criss Angel is going to be playing in this performance. I actually hope it goes well for her since she’s been such a mess lately…
