Comeback Comeback: Britney Spears's ongoing flirtation with this year's VMAs has progressed past the stage of hanging out near an elephant while Russell Brand played Itsy Bitsy Spider up her inner thigh. She's going to open the show—though great care is being taken not to have a repeat of last year's performance, a still of which now appears next to the word "train·wreck" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Instead, MTV Networks Music Group President Van Toffler said it will be something "fun and unexpected." Britney said in a statement, "MTV has long played an important role in my career. How can I not be there to kick off their 25th VMAs? I'm excited to open the entire show, to say hi to my fans and to be nominated." [AP/Yahoo]

But it won't be funny if you're laughing with us.

As long as Madonna is waiting in the wings to come out and poop herself just in case anything goes haywire, Britney's got nothing to worry about.

"fun and unexpected." - only way that'll happen is if they have lined up a tank full of piranhas under the stage, and some likely show goer wins the chance to hit the button when La Spitney Brears slumps on...
