Britney, Beyonce, Metallica, Missy, Jay-Z Added To VMA Lineup

The 2003 MTV Video Music Awards added a little jiggle and a lot of stomp as Beyoncé and Metallica have been added to the roster of performers for this year's ceremony.

Jay-Z, Britney Spears, Sean Paul, Mya, Missy Elliott, Serena Williams, Method Man, Iggy Pop and cast members from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" and Comedy Central's "Crank Yankers" have also been lined up to appear on the show, set to air live on August 28 from New York's Radio City Music Hall.

Beyoncé and Metallica beef up a performance roster that also includes 50 Cent, Good Charlotte, Coldplay and Christina Aguilera (see "50 Cent, Good Charlotte To Perform; Diddy, Kelly Clarkson To Present At VMAs").

Meanwhile, Jay, Britney and the rest of the latest wave of artists confirmed to appear will share the stage with P. Diddy, Ashanti, Kelly Clarkson, Tony Hawk, Hilary Duff, Ludacris, Bam Margera, Redman, Evanescence, David Spade, Snoop Dogg, NBA rookie sensation LeBron James and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Beyoncé looks to log a whole lot of time on the VMA stage. In addition to performing, she heads into the ceremony with five nominations: Best Female Video, Best R&B Video, Best Choreography in a Video and Viewer's Choice for her "Crazy in Love" clip, and Best Hip-Hop Video for her work in Jay-Z's " '03 Bonnie & Clyde" video. Fellow performers Metallica will also bring a VMA nod with them to the stage. The band's "St. Anger" clip is nominated for Best Rock Video.

The 2003 VMAs, hosted by Chris Rock, will be broadcast live on MTV at 8 p.m. ET. Immediately before the show, MTV News will serve up live pre-show coverage beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET.

Wait, so she won't be performing? This sux, I was really looking forward to see her perform.

Well, at least she'll be presenting. It would be interesting to see if she gave out an award to Justin. Knowing MTV that might happen. lol

Thanks for posting.

she could still perform, they are trying to keep things under wraps.

Yeah, I just read a rumor that she might perform with Madonna and J.LO. I like Madonna, but I hope J.LO isn't included, if that's true of course. lol But any kind of performance would be good, except I was hoping she'd perform the new song.
