Britney Spears Tapes Commercial -- With LL Cool J, Pete Wentz, Russell Brand -- For MTV Video Music Awards





Britney Spears' performance at last year's MTV Video Music Awards was memorable in slipway the vocalizer would credibly not prefer.


But Brit's united forces with this year's VMA host, Russell Brand, along with LL Cool J and FNMTV host/ Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz for a comical improvised promo for this year's show.


In the promo, which was filmed this week, Spears riffs with Brand in an improvisational Q&A session, during which Brand suggests there's some sexual tension 'tween them � "I didn't feel whatever tension," Brit quips. She also shows some of the comedic chops she employed during her two-episode stint this spring on CBS' "How I Met Your Mother,", joking that she has no idea who Brand is, at one point calling him, "Russell Brown"; LL Cool J calls him "Russell Bland."


While it remains unconfirmed whether Spears will appear at this year's bear witness � which will be broadcast hot from the legendary Paramount Pictures Studios in Hollywood on September 7 � the isaac Bashevis Singer is nominative for two Moonmen: in the Best Female and Best Pop Video categories, for her track "Piece of Me."


Incredibly, despite 16 nominations in previous years, Spears has never won a Moonman, but is hoping to break that dry spell next month.


This year, she'll face off against Katy Perry, Rihanna, Jordin Sparks, and Mariah Carey � another artist with several VMAs nods under her belt just no statuette � for Best Female Video, and will contend with Danity Kane, the Jonas Brothers, Panic at the Disco and Tokio Hotel for the Best Pop Video prize.


The 25th VMAs testament take space at the legendary Paramount Pictures Studios in Hollywood on September 7. The Jonas Brothers and
Lil Wayne ar confirmed to perform.
