IT’S CONFIRMED! BRITNEY SPEARS OPENS THE 2007 MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS

Immediately Following Performance, MTV Mobile will have Exclusively “Gimme More” and “It’s Britney, B***** Intro" Ringtones from New Single

Music Celebration Airs Sunday, September 9th at 9PM Live ET

Las Vegas, NV, September 6, 2007 – 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.

Immediately following Spears' performance, fans who want more of the superstar can download two ringtones available exclusively through MTV Mobile for two days prior to any other service. The tones — one for "Gimme More" and the other featuring the much discussed "It's Britney, B****" catch phrase from "Gimme More's" intro — are available for fans who text "Gimme" or "Brit" to 33633. MTV Mobile also will carry a live simulcast of the show, a first ever for an awards show.

For more about Spears at the VMAs, MTV.com will have exclusive details about her performance, as well as a look back at her history at the VMAs. The star-packed event will also feature one night only performances by Kanye West, Fall Out Boy, Chris Brown, Foo Fighters, Rihanna, Common, Nelly Furtado, Gym Class Heroes, Akon and Soulja Boy, T-Pain, Cee-Lo, Daniel Merriweather, Lil’ Wayne, Alicia Keys, T.I., Adam Levine, Mastadon, and Serj from System of A Down. Diddy, Sarah Silverman, Seth Rogen, Bill Hader, Kid Rock Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, Pamela Anderson, the cast of Entourage, Shia Labeouf, Nicole Scherzinger, Robin Thicke, Megan Fox, Jennifer Hudson, Rosario Dawson and Eve are set to present at the “2007 MTV Video Music Awards.” In addition, Justin Timberlake with Timbaland are set to host a Fantasy Suite party, while critically acclaimed producer, artist and DJ Mark Ronson will rock the party in The Pearl with help from his turntables, horn section and surprise guests. This year, Timbaland will also find himself working overtime as the official Maestro of the VMAs, responsible for creating several show-stopping and unexpected artist collaborations.

No matter what anyone says, she is no worse or better than anyone else….you guys are just lucky cameras aren't following you around 24/7, catching all your life's mistakes. LOL, how can people actually care so much about someone who cares NOTHING about you. Live it up Britney, screw the jealous people.

    What you believers fail to realise is.. Britney NEVER had any talent… its a whole lot of people around her making her look presentable, making her sound as if she can sing… etc…

    Criss Angel is perfect.. who else than a magician to make her appear like she has it together for a whole 5 mins…

    109

    She looks VERY old as of late. Look at her washed out skin and her puffy eyes. She looks like she is doing alot of coke or something. You know that look everyone had in the 1980's. She looks like she is going to collapse. Can you imagine how nasty she looks without her extensions and makeup? She also looks like she smells bad.Does anyone know where I can get those HOODIA ENERGY suckers she has in her mouth all the time?

    I'm so sick and tired of Britney Spears. In comparison to others in her industry…she is just a manufactured talent. When you have to lipsync, well, you know what that means…..Lack of talent! Time to take your money and hang it up Woman! As far as I'm concerned…you are done! Time for you to leave the building!

    116

    What' so funny is that the VMAs are so passe. No one watches them. Shitney is over. She is seven years over. No one cares. Bald headed no talent, white trash baby mama giggling all over a small stage, is not something anyone wants to see especially with her lipsynching.

    Love her or hate her, NO ONE rocks the VMAs like she does. NO ONE can perform the way she does. Her performances are the most noted in MTV history. Love or hate those facts, they are facts. Personally, after all this girl has been through, I hope she kicks it out of the park. I love how the media is so quick to jump on her, so quick to slam her, and now hardly anywhere do you read that those child abuse allegations brought by KFED and his loser attorney were thrown out faster than a sneeze. All that crap about her being a bad mother has been done by so many other hollywood moms - Katie Holmes actually DID fall with Suri - where's the beating?! The Arquettes take Coco on a boat without a life jacket (tantamount to a seatbelt); where's the public whipping?! Seal and Heidi took their THREE kids to a late dinenr the other night - where's the flogging of them!??! The hypocrisy is mind-boggling. You know, I don't know this girl. But, what I do know is that the amount of hate and invective shot her way would put most in the looney house. Her parents are total asswhipes, she has gotten used by every person in her life since she was a kid, she has no support system and no loyal friends. Kevin is a deadbeat ass and Shar is a classless whore and they are both out for Britney's money, as are her parents. It is so gross. I hope she rocks the VMAs, meets a decent guy who treats her right and enjoys the fruits of HER labor with her beloved sons. She deserves it.

    Everyone needs to back off Brit. She has a proven musical record as a top selling artist and it may just be pretty good. Give her a chance. If your life was under a microscope, it could look just as bad.

    Jeez, looks like all the 13-year old Twitney fans are here. I have news for you morons: NOBODY is jealous of this talentless trollop. She can't sing live, all she can do is shake her ass and lip-synch to crappy, re-tread pop music. She is merely a product that was created to make money from 13-year old idiots. And it worked for a while……..but it's over. Her performance is going to bomb hard, as she does not even come close to being a "serious" musician. She will be laughed at by everyone, and then hopefully she will get the hint and go away.

I wasnt' going to watch but I am now. Maybe this is what she needs to get back on track. I still think they should take her kids and give them to someone who isn't in show biz. We'll see.

    I won't watch, but mostly because MTV is a joke and I haven't watched an awards show since Halle & Denzel won their Oscars. I'm not a "hater", to be honest, I've never liked Britney. She just can't sing IMO. But for her sake, I hope she doesn't fail miserably at the VMA's. I think she *needs* to perform well to maintain what little sanity she has left. It would be sad for her comeback to fail and hear that she finally went off the deep end.
