Britney Spears Backstage after the 2008 VMAs

Exactly a year after losing the VMAs with a questionable performance, Britney was back with a vengeance and this time it was for her music. Britney’s video for the song Piece of Me pick up as many as 3 awards including Video of the Year which was a first for her.

Media outlets around the net are raving about her comeback writing:
MTV.com: “The 25th annual MTV Video Music Awards were full of those kinds of first, but perhaps the one people were looking forward to the most was the first VMA appearance by Spears since last year’s notorious onstage debacle. And, to the delight of her fans, Spears knocked it out of the park, opening the show by repeatedly turning down some not-so-slick advances from “Superbad” funnyman Jonah Hill. Showing off some of her “How I Met Your Mother” comedy chops, Spears then shimmied to the stage, looking amazing in a silver, shimmering flapper dress, and welcomed the crowd to the show.”

People Magazine: “The pop star made a triumphant return to MTV’s Video Music Awards, winning three Moonman, including the night’s big honor, video of the year, for her hit “Piece Of Me…” She looked a little nervous at first, but proved to be in fighting form in a vintage silver Versace mini-dress.”

Billboard: “Britney Spears returned to the MTV Video Music Awards in a major way tonight (Sept. 7) in Los Angeles, getting the last laugh after a disastrous 2007 appearance by winning the first three awards of her career: female video, pop video and video of the year for “Piece of Me..” she was a picture of professionalism and poise this time around, as she introduced the show and appeared in a comedic pre-show sketch with actor Jonah Hill.”

E!: “The red carpet of the Video Music Awards was its own kind of eye-popping spectacle, but during the show I couldn’t take my eyes off Britney Spears… She looked fab, kept it together and seems like she’s getting her career back on the good foot.”

Yahoo: “The pop singer, whose career has been overshadowed in recent years by a litany of personal woes, took home the awards for video of the year, best pop video and best female video, all for the tune “Piece of Me…” But the tabloid target seems to have avoided any calamities in recent months. While she puts her life back together, her ex-husband has full custody of their two sons, and her father and a lawyer have taken control of her business affairs.”

Following her Emmy nomination, announced earlier this month, Britney Spears added another nomination to her ever improving year. This time it is MTV’s Teen Choice Award (2008).

Nominations, which were announced yesterday place Britney in the Female Artist category along with Fergie, Mariah Carey, Miley Cyrus and Rihanna.

The neat thing about the Teen Choice is that there aren’t any judges but the fans themselves and regardless of your age you can go here and vote for Britney to help her win.

Britney used to be a nominee every year in the early 2000’s and, personally, I think it is great to see her back. What do you say?

An X17 crew ran across Mark Vincent Kaplan AKA KFed’s attorney while he was off duty and exchanged a few words with him. Kaplan confirmed that the battle will continue into 2008 but refused to talked about the case itself.

Since we’re dealing with rumors this morning, word has it that KFed had closed a deal to tell-all on Oprah. The show, set to air during the first part of 2008. According to NEWS OF THE WORLD, “He wants to give his side and show the world he is a good father and concerned ex-husband.”

The source added that Kevin wants everyone to know that he isn’t at fault for Britney’s odd behavior and decline. “It’s a huge step but he could turn around the public’s view that he was the reason behind Britney’s meltdown.”
