Just in via reliable sources: Former pop princess Britney Spears will not be performing at the MTV Video Music Awards, as confirmed by her manager. She will, however, attend and open the event. Too bad for the Britney-loving babies out there if this is true. My thoughts are with you, whether you like them or not. But don’t despair, I’m sure Ms. Spears will get back on stage soon. She seems to be recovering well and busy getting herself re-integrated into society.
