It is official!!!! Britney to perform at the vmas!

[stripped4life]

On the mtv news brief, they set missy, jayz, and britney were added to grace the stage on thursday. It is surprising to me because I did not think that Britney would perform. What do you think about it??? I think she should have just performed next year when she was back in the spotlight and had a few nods, but I guess this can help hype her up for the new album!!!!

Missy and Jay Z are performing yay!! :D Missy should be good.

I remember when Britney did this a few years ago before her BRITNEY album came out and before "I'm A Slave 4 U" was released...she performed at the VMAs to hype up everything. I guess she's trying for the same strategy. The VMAs seem interesting this year.

Are you sure they are performing because "gracing the stage" can mean presenting, which all 3 of them (Missy, Jay Z, and Britney) are listed as presenters on MTV.com.

So I think they will be presenting rather than performing...?

They're only presenting. Go here and it lists all peformers and presenters. They're all in the presenter category.

[Mike v2.0]

The artists usually don't find out until they get there at the Pre-Show, so I guess we'll know then. :)

[TouchOfMyHand]
