Britney Spears teamed up with Russell Brand, host of the upcoming 2008 MTV VMAs, for a series of promo commercials, the first two of which have been released online. The 2008 MTV VMAs (Music Video Awards) will take place on September 7, 2008.

Britney Spears, an elephant, and a flamboyant ex-crack addict walk into a bar…

Actually it was Stage 25 on the Paramount Studios lot, and this is no joke.

Last Tuesday I had the pleasure of getting up close but impersonal with Britney Spears. Led by a protective entourage of over 10 people, the megastar made a special visit to MTV’s 2008 VMA commercial shoot in Hollywood. Regardless of how long it took her to glam up (uh, two hours), homegirl looked “Hot as Ice” and managed to upstage the enormous elephant in the room.

Her tight, toned figure certainly made an impression on this year’s VMA host, British comedian Russell Brand (or Brown, as Britney jokingly referred to him while the camera rolled). “Britney,” the towering Brit with questionable (as in, “Why? Why? Why?”) hair styling called out, “You must be releasing estrogen or some other chemical that’s beguiling me.”
