Britney confirmed for Sunday's VMAs

Britney Spears's rumored MTV Video Music Awards appearance is a go! Spears was recruited to open the VMAs "to make a statement," says the show's producer. "I wanted to start the show in a very big and dramatic way, and she's the one to do that. She'll captivate everyone, and set the tone for the rest of the night." Spears consulted with illusionist Criss Angel on "some moments of her performance" for Sunday's show at the Palms Hotel and Casino in Vegas. "You can expect the things we want and expect from Britney - that will all be there," added the producer, and confirmed that the popstar will perform her new single, Gimme More. "What I've seen of it is great. She'll be dancing, performing, doing her thing. That's exactly what we all want."
