After a roller coaster year filled with hospitals, court dates and bad hair weaves, pop princess Britney Spears is ready for her real comeback.
With her new album Circus dropping on December 2nd, Britney is once again ready to take over the world.
In a new 90-minute documentary that will air on MTV, Britney will let fans in on her struggle back to the top. The special is tentatively called, ‘For the Record’, and will air on November 30th – two days before her album hits stores.
Spears made the following statement about the upcoming show,
“So much has gone on over the last couple of years and there’s a lot that people don’t know about me that I want them to know. I wanted to make this film because I started to feel like I wasn’t being seen in the light that I wanted to be seen in. This is an opportunity to set the record straight and talk about what I’ve been through and where I’m headed.”
Britney will discuss both her personal and private life which include behind the scenes shots at this year’s VMAs and the video shoot for her next single, Womanizer. We also follow Brit as she hits the recording studio and heads to her hometown in Louisiana.
In the film Britney explains her state of mind earlier this year, “I’ve been through a lot, and there’s a lot people don’t know. Sometimes it can get lonely ’cause you don’t open the gate. I’m stuck in this place, and I just cope every day. I sit there and I look back. I’m a smart person, what the hell was I thinking?”
The documentary will air November 30th at 10PM on MTV.
In case you missed the MTV VMAs, or simply couldn’t stomach sitting through the entire thing, here’s a few of the performances you may have missed.
Once again, I am going to be a whiny bitch and say that the MTV Video Music Awards are nothing like they used to be. They used to be exciting because some crazy bastard(s) would get completely obliterated before arriving and would then act a complete fool in front of everyone. I miss those days. Spontaneity and alcohol went together well.
But nowadays, I am one of those people who have to DVR the awards and skip through almost everything, getting the Cliff Notes version. And why not, I don’t miss anything.
Anyhow, here’s a couple performances, the quality on these is bad, but I expect they will be taken down soon so see them while you can..
Hype is building around this year’s MTV Video Music Awards and now not only do we know who is opening the show (Britney) we also now know who will be closing the event.
Despite claiming that he would never return to the VMAs last year, Kanye West will return this year with the final performance of the evening.
Remember the fit he threw last year? Here’s a refresher if you don’t.
According to several sources backstage at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards — and a report published late Sunday night by The Associated Press — West lost it again, this time because his performance of “Stronger” took place in the Palms’ Hugh Hefner Sky Villa and not on the main stage.
“Kanye was watching the closing performance [a medley featuring Justin Timberlake, Timbaland and Nelly Furtado] on a closed-circuit monitor, and he started getting upset,” a source who was backstage told MTV News. “He started asking anyone who’d listen why he wasn’t allowed to perform on the main stage. ‘Why did I perform in just a suite?’ he was saying. ‘Justin’s my boy, but even he gets to perform in both a suite and on the main stage? Something’s wrong here.’ ”
According to the AP, West was also upset about being shut out of all five categories in which he was nominated. He reportedly yelled, “That’s two years in a row, man … I’m trying hard, man, I have the … #1 record, man.”
AP also reported that West claimed he would “never return to MTV.”

MTV has finally made the announcement so many have been waiting for.

Britney says of her upcoming appearance,
“MTV has long played an important role in my career. How can I not be there to kick off their 25th VMA’s? I’m excited to open the entire show, to say hi to my fans and to be nominated.”
