Spears Cleans Up With Seven MTV Award Nominations

Britney Spears has cemented herself in the role as the biggest ever come-back queen, nabbing seven nominations at this year’s MTV Awards.
While seven noms isn’t quite the record this year – both Lady Gaga and Beyonce have nine apiece – it’s made even more remarkable, given Spears’ disastrous return to the VMA stage just two years ago.
I’m sure no one could forget Spears’ half-assed, drunken attempt at performing in 2007. At the time, she was ridiculed to the nth degree and labeled as a lost cause, but the pop star bounced back – thanks in no small part to the conservatorship put in place by her father – and is now leading the pack once again.
It is not known yet whether Brit will perform at this year’s awards ceremony – let’s face it, after Vegas, it’s highly unlikely. Those stars already on the roster include country music sensation Taylor Swift, Australia’s favourite Pink, and rockers Green Day and Muse.
Russell Brand will again play host, with the VMA’s going live from New York’s Radio City Music Hall on September 13.

Spears to Open MTV Awards

Britney Spears will open this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, despite last year’s embarrassing performance, which saw her ridiculed across the globe.
“MTV has long played an important role in my career. How can I not be there to kick off their 25th VMAs?” Spears told People.com in a statement. “I’m excited to open the entire show, to say hi to my fans and to be nominated.”
Fans are already concerned as to how Brit Brit is planning on opening the show – another failed musical number could just ruin her flailing career – however, a source close to the star has confirmed that the opening segment “will not feature” a musical performance by Britney.
MTV’s Music President Van Toffler added: “Britney has done everything from perform with a snake, lock lips with Madonna and prove that what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas. I can’t wait to see what she does to kick off this year’s show.”
The VMA’s for 2008 will premiere on Sunday at 9 p.m.

Mischa Snubs Cannes Premiere of Lesbian Film

Former O.C. starlet Mischa Barton has been criticized for failing to attend the scheduled premiere of her new movie, You And I, in Cannes, because she thought the film was “awful” and “didn’t want to be involved in the project.”
Barton, who turned 22 in January, opted to party at Chopard’s Cannes bash instead of attending the premiere. She pulled out of all promotional work for the film earlier in the day, saying she was going home, but a source has revealed Mischa was still on the Riviera and drinking champers when You And I was due to debut.
The source apparently asked the young actress why she wasn’t at the premiere, to which Mischa snapped: “I was never due to go.” Not a very good argument, considering she was in partying in Cannes at the time.
In the film, Mischa plays one of two teenage girls who attend a t.A.T.u. concert in Moscow and fall in love. Bandmembers Lena and Yulia play themselves in the cross-continental film. As you all know, t.A.T.u. is the Russian girl band who’ve made a controversial come-back, appearing naked in their new music video for the track, Beliy Plachik.
The plotline is pretty simple: “[The girls] are swept into a dangerous world of obsession, drug abuse and murder.” Sounds a lot like the plot to Lindsay Lohan’s D-grade stripper romp, I Know Who Killed Me.
Here are some pics of Mischa from Britain’s Best 2008 Awards in London. Read more
