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.
