"Contrary to media reports, Britney was never slated to perform on this year's VMAs," Larry Rudolph, Spears' manager at Jive Records, said in a statement. "She's in the middle of recording her next album, which is going amazingly well, and her focus remains on the studio."

Spears' "Gimme More" comeback performance during last year's VMAs was one of the most-talked-about moments of 2007. The tabloid queen is currently appearing in spots promoting this year's ceremony.

In June, MTV Networks Music Group President Van Toffler said the network wasn't ruling out giving viewers another dose of Spears at the VMAs. MTV later confirmed they were in talks to have Spears appear in some capacity. The rebounding pop queen is nominated for video of the year for "Piece of Me."

This VMAs will air live Sept. 7 from Paramount Pictures Studios in Los Angeles. Previously announced award show performers include Kid Rock, Lil Wayne, Pink, Rihanna, Paramore, T.I. and the Jonas Brothers.

because she cant dance anymore

your mean..

Because she isn't ready! God, if I see this topic again...

I really don't understand some of you people. Why the hell would you WANT her performing when she isn't at 100%? It's just pointless. Blackout is over and nothing's going to bring it back. Let her get her **** together and kill it the next time around. Gah!

WTF at this topic.

^SOME people think she'll be performing

She needs to release a ballad!

Because she is not ready yet, she has a very good body..but she needs a KILLER BODY...and she hasn't it yet.

Bipolar, aren't we?

@ XTIAN

she doesnt have the voice to carry out a ballad no she needs to stick to uptempo songs so she can mask her horrible voice with beats.

Does anyone need to post last year's horrendous "Gimme More" performance? She should just be happy that that single was a hit regardless. Too bad the album hasn't crossed 1,000,000 copies sold yet. = /

did you already listen to Everytime

God this again? Get over it!
Britney's hot and she's gonna come back but she needs time. DUHH

I can't imagine how many times I've said 'She's Not Performing' in these threads.

because many people already guessed it

no surprisng at all

Right and i don't know why ppl post up threads talkin about who's doing birtney's hair for the VMA performance just to furthur fathom their hopes and dreams of a comeback performance...ugh i'm over it!!!!!

I hate that they said "Britney snubbed VMA awards...", as the headline..... like she dissed them or something. It was never confirmed that she was performing, LOL.

You gotta love the negative spins the media puts on things. Especially when it comes to certain people....they can turn the most positive thing, into something negative.

yep i did. dont get me wrong i love britney but i prefer her more uptempo songs to her ballads.

Finally, a logical voice. Thank you!!

I didn't want her to perform, and I am glad she isn't. Plus, a comeback performance at the VMA won't be such a surprise, there is always a chance Britney would perform there. I would really love her to have her comeback performance at another big event around 4 months from now.
She has no reason to be in a rush, she has planty of time.
