Britney will appear at Sunday's VMAs, which take place at Paramount Studios in Hollywood and begin at 9 p.m. ET. Although the pop star will not be performing, she will open the show. She's nominated for three awards: Best Female Video, Best Pop Video, and Video of the Year for "Piece of Me." "MTV has long played an important role in my career," Spears said in a statement. "How can I not be there to kick off their 25th VMAs I'm excited to open the entire show, to say hi to my fans and to be nominated."
