After Larry Rudolph, a spokesperson for Britney Spears’ manager, denied the rumors about Britney making an on-stage appearance at MTV’s Video Music Awards this year, MTV.com announced today that the singer will actually be opening the show.

Moreover, Britney herself stated she was extremely excited about this, suggesting that she would not have missed the 25^th edition of the Awards for anything in the world.

Nevertheless, when it comes to what she will be doing to kick off the VMAs, everything’s a blur. Neither MTV.com nor Spears has revealed any information about this. But one thing is sure: it will be something to remember. And probably to top both performing with a snake and kissing Madonna on the lips.

Britney Spears, 26, released her debut album called “Baby One More Time”in 1999. Its huge success brought the singer international recognition and also earned her the pop icon status. She continued by releasing three other number one albums, “Oops!... I Did It Again” in 2000, „Britney” in 2001 and „In the Zone” in 2003.

During the past few years, her tumultuous personal life has stolen her singing career’s thunder, the only news about Britney concerning her marriage to Kevin Federline in 2004, the couple’s divorce two years later, their custody battle and, most recently, the singer’s mental problems.

Still, she seems to be recovering pretty well after having received psychiatric help this year.

So let the show begin. 'Cause everybody’s holding their breath to see how Britney’s going to break the ice.
