BRITNEY SPEARS JOKES ABOUT MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS IN NEW PROMOA year after her rocky performance, Britney Spears is re-teaming with the MTV Video Music Awards.
The 26-year-old singer has shot a promo for the September 7 show with host Russell Brand.
The spot is "mostly ad-libbed, with Russell asking her for advice about hosting the show," a source tells E!. "There's also a 9,000-pound elephant in it, as in 'the elephant in the room.'"
Though it remains unlikely Spears will perform again this year, MTV president Van Toffler has said: "Everyone deserves a second or third chance ... who knows?"
