It took a year, but Britney Spears got the comeback she was seeking from the MTV Video Music Awards — and she didn’t even have to sing or dance.
Spears nabbed three VMAs, including video of the year, erasing last year’s career-low performance. Her first Moonman trophies came during a 25th anniversary show that otherwise lacked a defining moment, with most of the zaniness coming from host Russell Brand.

Another year, another attempted comeback for Britney Spears at the MTV “Video Music Awards.”
The rebounding pop queen is hoping to complete a do-over of sorts as she kicks off Sunday’s awards ceremony, not with a performance, but with an appearance MTV Networks Music Group President Van Toffler has described as “fun and unexpected.”
If she manages to pull it off, Spears — who is up for three awards, including video of the year for “Piece of Me” — will come away with the most improved award after bombing in spectacular fashion at last year’s festivities in Las Vegas.

America, meet Russell Brand.
In his native England, he’s a comedy giant — instantly identifiable by his Einstein-like tousle of black hair and formfitting, chest-baring, glam-rock clothes — a television host and standup comic with his own radio show and weekly column in The Guardian. In the U.S., he’s that British guy who was in the movie “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.”
But that all could change Sunday, when Brand hosts the MTV Video Music Awards.
