No comeback for Britney at VMAs

It appears the emotional scars from Britney Spears� much maligned performance on MTV�s Video Music Awards last year haven�t cured quite yet.



After weeks of "will she or won�t she" speculation about whether Spears will perform once again this twelvemonth, her manager told Ryan Seacrest on Monday that she will not.


"Britney Spears will not be playacting at the VMAs this year. I�m telling you officially and unequivocally," said manager Larry Rudolf on Seacrest�s Kiss-FM morning wireless show in Los Angeles.


Who could forget Britney, world Health Organization used to steal the show with her vocal and dance performances, clumsily teetering about the stage last year with a bad hair weave and ill-fitting intimate apparel outfit? It was so bad, it was good.


When Spears of late appeared in a series of facetiously VMA promo commercials - complete with a 9,000-pound live elephant in the room-alongside this year�s host, British comedian Russell Brand - rumors swirled that she would seek redemption by performing once more at the upcoming present on September 7.


And piece Rudolf�s words to radio and TV personality Seacrest seem to be unshakable, given Spears� rollercoaster of a life this past year, anything could still happen.


Rudolf could not be reached for comment or confirmation simply Gina Orr, a spokeswoman for Spears� label Jive Records would neither reassert or deny that Britney will be absent from the VMA�s stage.


Orr's program line saying only, "Contrary to media reports, Britney was never slated to perform on this year�s VMAs. She's in the midsection of transcription her adjacent album, which is expiration amazingly well, and her focus corpse on the studio."


But it doesn�t say she won't perform and when pressed for a firm answer, Orr said the statement was all there was to be said.


So, in the language of TV pitch people everywhere, "rest tuned".


And would it be so big to see Britney perform, anyway?


A astral act might redeem Britney�s image in one case and for all. If not, the memories of her stupefied routine mightiness be the publicity bomb calorimeter that haunts her eternally.
