Britney 'Getting Opportunity to Start Over' at VMAs
People - 7th Sep 2008
Britney Spears:
Britney Spears is back. Or at least she will be “ in some capacity.
The pop star will again openMTV's Video Music Awards, which will broadcast live from Los Angeles's Paramount Studios on Sunday night (9 p.m. ET). But unlike last year, where
Spears delivered a memorable (and critically derided performance, the pop star is not expected to perform on the show.)
"She gets an opportunity to start over again," hip-hop producer Jermaine Dupri told PEOPLE at Friday's TAG Records Official MTV VMA Kickoff party in Hollywood at Avalon. "A lot of people don't get a chance to do that again. I just hope she kills it."
And the man who's helped launch the careers of platinum artists TLC, Kris Kross and Da Brat added, "Last time, I didn't
T.I.k her performance was that bad, but people ragged her so bad, then I saw the press."
So what will she do?
The singer's role on the show has been a tightly guarded secret. Regardless of how she fares live,
Spears may just prove to be the talk of the night. That's because she's nominated for the show's top honor, video of the year, for "Piece of Me." The pop star has earned two other nominations, including best pop video and best female video “ also for the same single. (If
Spears wins, it will be her first "Moonman" despite 16 prior nominations.)
Also up for top honors are the ceremony: the Jonas Brothers (for "Burnin Up"), Chris Brown for "Forever," the
Pussycat Dolls for "When I Grow Up" and the Ting Tings for "Shut Up and Let Me Go."
Nominees the Jonas Brothers will also perform on the show. They will join a starry group of singers, including
Rihanna, who will take the stage with rapper
T.I., and Pink, who will also grace the stage. "I Kissed A Girl" singer
Katy Perry is expected to perform a cover of
Madonna's "Like A Virgin" and Kid Rock will perform with rapper Lil Wayne.
Kanye West will close out the evening with a performance.
Hosting
T.I. year is British comedian Russell Brand, known for his role a lothario musician Aldous Snow in Forge
T.I.g Sarah Marshall. But he will be joined onstage by
Pete Wentz, who will act as a co-host of sorts. (Wentz's wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is expected to present on the show.)
Also presenting: previously announced stars including Miley Cyrus and Lindsay Lohan. In days leading up to the ceremony, MTV has added new presenters, including
Christina Aguileraand Gossip Girl's
Chace Crawford.

Katy Perry to Perform “Like a Virgin” & More VMA Secrets!
Well, we know the rest of that train-wreck, and in a not-so-surprising move yesterday, MTV announced yes, Brit will be opening the show again this year, but sans-performance (even though by all accounts, she’s got her stuff together again).
Excitement has shifted this year around some other announced highlights though, notably the highest-charting female of the summer, Katy Perry covering Madonna’s “Like a Virgin”.
Also some exciting VMA news, Christina Aguilera will be taking the

Fasten Your Seatbelts: It Was A Bumpy Night For VMA Fashion [The Good, The Bad & The Ugly]
You could certainly argue that the fashions on view at New York's Fashion Week right now aren't all Sublime. But no one — no one! — could claim that what walked down the MTV Video Music Awards red carpet last night at Hollywood's Paramount Pictures Studios was not Ridiculous. Yeah, you expect the VMAs to bring it, grotesqueness-wise, but even given their own high standards, they outdid themselves. Katy Perry (left) kissed a girl, wore a bathing suit; Christina Aguilera cleared up any misconceptions abou

HOLLYWOOD — The Video Music Awards are always a party, and this year was no exception. There was plenty of music, dancing and very glamorous folks on hand, plus — thanks to a bawdy, rambling opening monologue by host Russell Brand — the kind of political discourse your weird uncle usually starts spouting after his sixth scotch and soda.
All in all, it was a pretty excellent time (especially if you were Br
Perry Still Atop U.K. Charts
Pop star Katy Perry has scored a fifth week atop the U.K. singles chart with her hit song I KISSED A GIRL.
Dance star Eric Prydz's Pjanoo remains in second place, with the Pussycat Dolls entering the chart at number three with When I Grow Up.
Rihanna dropped one place to number four with Disturbia and the top five was rounded out by The Man Who Can't Be Moved, by Irish band The Script.
The Verve held onto the top spot in the U.K. album chart with Forth, and The Script and Michael Jackson moved up t
The Best, Worst and Ugly of the 2008 MTV VMA’s
Oh, what fun times! Judging at the Fashion Guillotine: Who wore what at the VMA’s. Hey, we didn’t ask them to wear it. They walked down that carpet with no ammunition other than their horrible taste.
Although some celebs did look sensational, as usual, and we will give them credit of course, it is more entertaining to stare at those who will soon fire their stylists.
So take out your pen and best insults for these looks. Here is our recap:
The overall evening trend for the ladies was “Shorter.
The VMA’s
MTV will air their annual Video Music Awards tonight at 9PM EST. It seems there are big things happening at this years awards. As I am sure you all know Britney Spears is opening the show, the real question is whether or not she will actually perform? Personally I don’t think she is going to, I think it is all hype to get the viewers. Yes MTV is pulling out all the stops to celebrate the VMA’s 25th anniversary, including getting Kayne West to close the show. Um wasn’t it just last year that Kayne sai

Lame
Lame: (Adjective) Something intended to be entertaining, yet uninspiring and dull.Last night I watched the MTV Video Music Awards. I think the last time I actually made a point of watching them (other than remembering to tune in for Britney's performance last year) was back in like 1992, and Dana Carvey was hosting. I was 15 and just starting ninth grade back then (eff you, I was held back!) so that was really the last year I wasn't too cool to watch the VMAs anymore, and then after that I started putting h
