Britney Spears & Russell Brand Team Up For A 2009 MTV VMAs Promo Video
Earlier this month we saw photos of Britney Spears on a poolside set of what I believed was a photoshoot … but it turns out that our dear Britney was rockin’ her white bikini for a promo video for the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. In the clip, Brit Brit swaps thoughts with VMAs host Russell Brand … here are a few screencaps:
In a new promo for MTV’s Video Music Awards, set for Sept. 13 in New York City, Britney Spears wishes for a personal invite from Russell Brand, who is hosting for the second year in a row. Standing by a pool in a white bikini and a black sun hat, Spears says in a voiceover, “I wonder if he’ll invite me. I mean, I can obviously get an invite, but it would be nice for Russell to invite me personally now that we’re friends and all.” Meanwhile, Brand has VMA jitters of his own. “I hope I didn’t balls it up with her last time,” he says. “Some of those things I said could have been construed as offensive. I hope she don’t think ill of me.” Back to Spears, this time biting her fingernail: “Should I have played it up more when he was flirting with me last year? I have to admit there is something sexy about his dangerous ways.” At the end of the spot, Brand realizes he’s hearing Spears’s voiceover and that she might be hearing his. What’s a bloke to do? “Britney,” he says in a high-pitched voice, “this is the voice of your mind … go to Russell’s hotel room and abandon yourself. Give yourself to him, Britney. Sleep with Russell!” The VMAs air live on Sept. 13 (9 p.m. EST) on MTV.
It’s a cute clip but not nearly as funny as I would’ve liked. Plus, I’d've preferred more Britney, less Russell. But hey, that’s just me. After the jump, check out the VMAs promo clip and judge for yourselves …
HMMMMMMM … I sincerely hope that this VMAs promo is a hint that our dear Britney will be performing at the show. Wouldn’t that be awesome???

I thought it was a cute commercial. It’s good that Britney has a good sense of humor because if I remember, SOME of the things he said COULD have been misconstrued as offensive. Lol, I <3 Russell Brand. AND Britney.

August 26th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
The end was the best part..And she looks gorgeous!
August 26th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
….but she can’t sing nicole, remember her on ellen?
August 26th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
@ Trent lol good i thought i was seeing things lol
August 26th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
Well..Britney owns the VMAs..the reason why she’s not int he other singing ones is because she deserves one promo spot ALL TO her fierceness!!!
August 26th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
I love Britney!!
August 26th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
I still can’t believe people are comparing her singing voice on Ellen! I mean, didn’t you get the joke when Ellen was trying to make her sing in a different tune to be bad? Geesh. Anyways, I love this commercial! I hope there’s more because last year there was at least 3-4, right? I hope she performs! She needs to remind those other bitches who’s the boss. <333

@roxster – haha well…they could fake it…
August 26th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
I really did LOL here.
The end part, where she’s turning around and around trying to decide whether to go….HA!!!
August 26th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Britney IS the VMAs
August 26th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
That was great :)
August 26th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
For the person who said she’s not in the singing ad because she can’t sing, that’s bull. She can’t sing LIVE but she can easily prerecord vocals in a studio, and that’s what everyone in that commercial is doing anyways. MTV just wanted to give her a commercial all to herself because she is the queen of the VMAs!
August 26th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
I LOVE IT!! hahahaha
August 26th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
BOW TO THE QUEEN! She Looks so Hot!
August 26th, 2009 at 11:42 pm

Hated Russel Brand until a few days a go. Good thing I’m seeing the promo now ’cause I loveee it. Brit is sooo cute. I wish she would perform again, now that she’s got her shizz back together.
