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.

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.

    *Mwhahahahahaaaa* I can't wait for this. I suspect it'll be a trainwreck to end all trainwrecks, or she will go all bi-polar on our asses and refuse to perform, thus forcing the "stand in" artist to open the show. The funniest thing about that press release is the "performing LIVE" comment. Yeh, "live" as in she's still alive, but as for live signing - bollocks she will. Bitch can't hold a note live to save her life!

    i've watched all the vmas since 1984, but britney has now made this one the most anticipated musical thing on television since the 1968 elvis special. with that hot new track i can't put out of mind, it's either going to be triumphant or apocalyptic. i can't believe i'm actually rooting for britney, i must need some serious help too!

    With all the money she needs to hire a stylist. I have seen chicks walking down the street hotter then her. Her music sucks, her voice is crap. She really ruined her career acting like mental nutcase. She needs to stick close to her family and need to seek help. Overall she is ugly, no talented, SLUT.

    I cannot wait to see this! I love brit despite all her crazy brain farts. On the other hand though it turns out that criss angel guy is helping her with her vma preformance….that guy annoys the hell out of me because to me it seems like he'll do anything for attention….he spreads himself around like dog shit just to get some kind of publicity….first cameron….than britney. I guess the groupiEZ he was diddling with behind his wifes back weren't good enough so he had to move onto something better.

    Britney is f'd up on drugs all the time..maybe if she's off of them she'll actually have a good comeback on the VMA's but personally i think people are just tired of her and she damaged her career way to much to ever have a strong comeback. I used to be a huge fan of hers but after all the weird things she says and does I just think she should go away and make everyone forget about her. Start over or just leave it alone. We liked you back in 2001…not 2007.

    Are all you Brit fans serious??…she's a joke. How soon we forget all the crap she's done & continues to do. She doesn't even make an attempt to look good in front of the camera's..come on fans take off those rose colered glasses & look reality in the face. One performance doesn't erase those awful images of her recent past.

    Wow, she looks like shit. Why do her teeth seem so weird lately? Kinda bucked or something. And the crack-smoker glisten on her skin is creepy! Red balls! get a tan!

    I can not believe that people are judging her. More of those who judge are maybe worst than her. She had no time to experiment a normal teen life. That doenst mean that if she party, she doenst take care of her kids. I am a canadian and can not imagine that you americans think you are so perfect and can not imagine that one of yours can just be normal.. Come on..

    Thick, Fat, Ugly - no talent at all . . .what ever happened to live (no lip sync) performances . . . must be a Gen-Y thing where you want flash with an absolute vacuum of any tangible talent . . . sort of like the whole generation - She needs to realize how bad she sucked . . and move on . . . her 15 minutes of fame is up - now on to the next fleeby loser crankwhore . . . . dressing and acting like an absolute street walking slut - willing to do anything for a dollar . . . . . your parents must be so PROUD !!!
