Is Britney Spears going to open the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards?

Just three months after her disastrous return to the stage with her pseudogroup, the M&M’s, I’m hearing that MTV has lined up Spears for the opening of its annual awards show on Sept. 9 in Las Vegas.

“I cannot confirm or deny it,” a rep for MTV just told me.

As we all know by now, Spears is not a sure thing when it comes to recent commitments. In the last few weeks, she walked out on at least three gigs, including photo shoots for OK! and Allure magazines and another for her new fragrance’s ad campaign.

This wouldn’t be Spears’s first headline-making appearance in the opening of the VMAs. Four years ago, Madonna kissed Spears and Christina Aguilera after the two young pop stars—dressed as brides—performed the Material Girl’s classic, ”Like a Virgin.”
