Britney at Video Music Awards Promo Commercial

Britney Spears will be appearing in a television promo for this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. Britney shot the spot on Tuesday at the Paramount lot in Hollywood (the site of this year’s show) with first-time host, British bad-boy comedian and Forgetting Sarah Marshall star Russell Brand.

“It was mostly ad-libbed, with Russell asking her for advice about hosting the show,” a source tells me. “There’s also a 9,000-pound elephant in it, as in ‘the elephant in the room.’ “

There is still no news on whether Britney, who is up for two VMAs this year, will be performing on the big night when it airs live on September 7th.
