Tuesday, August 19, 2008 - Web posted at 8:51:34 AM GMT Britney on MTV awards list for a 3rd time STEVE GORMANLOS ANGELES - A year after her calamitous comeback performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, Britney Spears has garnered a third nomination for this year's show, but it remained unclear whether she would dare a repeat appearance. |

MTV, which has been rolling out nominations for various categories in recent weeks, named Spears on Friday as one of five candidates in the running for its coveted Video of the Year award, for the clip to her single 'Piece of Me'. The same title already has earned her nominations for best female video and best pop video. In the Video of the Year category, she is competing against the Jonas Brothers' 'Burnin Up', Chris Brown's 'Forever', Pussycat Dolls 'When I Grow Up' and the Ting Tings' 'Shut Up and Let Me Go'. The nominees for best rock video, also named on Friday, are Paramore for 'CrushCrushCrush', Slipknot's 'Psychosocial', Linkin Park's 'Shadow of the Day', Foo Fighters' 'The Pretender' and Fall Out Boy's cover of the Michael Jackson hit 'Beat It'. But Spears' nominations remain particularly tantalising because of mounting speculation about whether she will take a chance at returning to the MTV Video Music Awards with memories still fresh from her much-derided appearance last year. Spears herself added to the hype by recently filming a series of promotional spots for the awards show with a real-life, 9 000-pound elephant literally in the room with her. The 25th annual VMAs, long considered a looser, hipper version of the Grammys, will be broadcast live on MTV on September 7, returning to Los Angeles for the first time in a decade. Nampa-Reuters |
