Britney Spears Backstage after the 2008 VMAs

Exactly a year after losing the VMAs with a questionable performance, Britney was back with a vengeance and this time it was for her music. Britney’s video for the song Piece of Me pick up as many as 3 awards including Video of the Year which was a first for her.

Media outlets around the net are raving about her comeback writing:
MTV.com: “The 25th annual MTV Video Music Awards were full of those kinds of first, but perhaps the one people were looking forward to the most was the first VMA appearance by Spears since last year’s notorious onstage debacle. And, to the delight of her fans, Spears knocked it out of the park, opening the show by repeatedly turning down some not-so-slick advances from “Superbad” funnyman Jonah Hill. Showing off some of her “How I Met Your Mother” comedy chops, Spears then shimmied to the stage, looking amazing in a silver, shimmering flapper dress, and welcomed the crowd to the show.”

People Magazine: “The pop star made a triumphant return to MTV’s Video Music Awards, winning three Moonman, including the night’s big honor, video of the year, for her hit “Piece Of Me…” She looked a little nervous at first, but proved to be in fighting form in a vintage silver Versace mini-dress.”

Billboard: “Britney Spears returned to the MTV Video Music Awards in a major way tonight (Sept. 7) in Los Angeles, getting the last laugh after a disastrous 2007 appearance by winning the first three awards of her career: female video, pop video and video of the year for “Piece of Me..” she was a picture of professionalism and poise this time around, as she introduced the show and appeared in a comedic pre-show sketch with actor Jonah Hill.”

E!: “The red carpet of the Video Music Awards was its own kind of eye-popping spectacle, but during the show I couldn’t take my eyes off Britney Spears… She looked fab, kept it together and seems like she’s getting her career back on the good foot.”

Yahoo: “The pop singer, whose career has been overshadowed in recent years by a litany of personal woes, took home the awards for video of the year, best pop video and best female video, all for the tune “Piece of Me…” But the tabloid target seems to have avoided any calamities in recent months. While she puts her life back together, her ex-husband has full custody of their two sons, and her father and a lawyer have taken control of her business affairs.”

It’s been confirmed that the secret rehearsal video leaked yesterday is does not show Britney’s rehearsals for the VMA.

Larry Rudolph, who spoke to E! earlier today insisted that it is not the case and that “She is definitely not performing!”

Turns out, the video was just a general dance rehearsal as Britney gets back in shape for performances.

With less than 24 hours before the VMAs and with millions around the world waiting to see what kind of appearance will Britney Spears pull, a video surfaced this morning featuring Britney Spears in what seems like a home-video style piece and which was filmed at the studio during rehearsal time…

Given the fact that nothing in Britney’s career is a flook anymore and that all that happens seem to happen for a reason many questions come to mind:
- Is this really a new video?
- Why was it leaked?
- Who leaked it?
- Is it related to the VMAs?

What do you think?

Russell Brand, who will be hosting the VMAs, is busy promoting the show and naturally everyone wants to know all about Britney Spears, especially since they filmed the promo commercials together.

As far as the commercials are concerned, Russell was a little distracted by the elephant that co-starred with them:

“No, In spite of, it may have seemed somehow constructed but I assure you it wasn’t. Britney and I just met, I was a little bit late to meet Britney, because there was an Elephant, and I was obviously transfixed by the elephant and it’s terrifying vagina, once I dealt with that, all I mean was, looked at it and I understood it, I didn’t do anything-I didn’t say ‘Oh hello, cheeky!’ I dealt with the elephant just by going ‘Are you alright..’ and then I came over to deal with Britney Spears, now there was no time for any script so Britney Spears going, ‘Oh I think you are Russell Brown.’ That was just her legitimate. Similarly, LL Cool Jay thinks I am called insultingly Russell Bland and uh Pete Wentz thinks I am simply a ba*tard.”

As for the much-talked about but still highly secretive details of Britney Spears opening the VMAs this year, Russell has confirmed that she definitely won’t be singing, but that it will be some kind of skit:

“She’s not serving canapés or doing a bizarre haircut on herself! She’s not performing, but she’s certainly doing [the show] in a professional capacity.

“I might get the opportunity to pinch her back in revenge for the trailer. I know at some point I will try and pinch her!”
