So much for that comeback.”Britney Spears<\/strong> will not be performing at the VMAs this year. I’m telling you officially and unequivocally,” Ryan Seacrest<\/strong> quoted her manager, Larry Rudolph<\/strong>, as saying on his KIIS-FM radio show Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Rudolph told Seacrest that Spears “is in the middle of recording her next album, which is going amazingly well, and was never supposed to perform at that show.”<\/p>\n

The possibility of Spears performing had been rumored for weeks. (Her hair stylist Kim Vo even told E! News<\/a> that he was creating three VMA looks for the singer, hinting that one of the ‘dos was for her performance.)<\/p>\n

The singer is still involved in the show in some capacity, however.<\/p>\n

She is appearing alongside host Russell Brand<\/strong> in cheeky TV spots promoting the September 7 show.<\/p>\n

She is also up for three VMAs \u00e2\u20ac\u201d including “Video of the Year” \u00e2\u20ac\u201d for her song “Piece of Me.”<\/p>\n

Spears has never won a “Moonman,” despite being nominated 17 times.<\/p>\n

Last year, she raised eyebrows after her rocky opening performance of “Gimme More.” The New York Times<\/em> called her “awful,” writing that she “tottered around the stage, dancing tentatively and doing nothing that sounded or looked like real live singing.”<\/p>\n
