Britney Spears Yet again we're on hand to put you on the right track.

This time it's all about Miss Spears.

Just what is the dealio with her award show comeback?

Well it looks like it ain't going to happen - we're hope you're not too bummed out.

"Britney Spears will not be performing at the VMAs this year. I'm telling you officially and unequivocally," Ryan Seacrest quoted her manager, Larry Rudolph, as saying on his Kiis-FM radio show.

He told Ryan that Brit "is in the middle of recording her next album, which is going amazingly well, and was never supposed to perform at that show".

We have to admit we'd got a little giddy at the at the possibility of Brit performing at the VMAs.

Her hair stylist Kim Vo even told E! News that he was creating three VMA looks for the singer, hinting that one of the 'dos was for her performance.

But the show won't be going on without her entirely - she's doing those hilarious ads with host Russell Brand to promote the show on the 7th September.

And she's is also up for three VMAs - including vid of the year for Piece Of Me.

Good luck with that Britters.
