Britney Spears to Open 2007 Video Musical Awards

Adjust your lives accordingly. Set your Tivo. It’s official. Britney Spears will be opening the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday.

“I guess, looking back, we’ve had a great history with her,” he said. “Some of the biggest TV performances [of her career] have been at the VMAs. And fortunately, [when we approached her about performing], she was into it and excited to do it. I wanted her to come on and make a statement right from the very beginning of the show. And she’ll kill it. 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. There’s no one better.”

“You can expect the things we want and expect from Britney â€” that will all be there.”
