Britney Spears to open MTV Video Music Awards

Britney Spears will open the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday in what promoters are calling the fallen singer's long-awaited comeback.

MTV says that Spears, 25, who has been a frequent tabloid fixture due to a tumultuous divorce and erratic behaviour, will be performing her new song "Gimme More" at the awards show in Las Vegas.

Spears released "Gimme More" - her first new song in years - on the web last week.

The song is a clubby dance track produced by Danja, a protege of Timbaland. MTV says it is a track from an album due to be released on November 13. © 2007 Australian Broadcasting Corporation
