E! News has confirmed that the Britney Spearsdance video leaked yesterday on MSN.com does not show a rehearsal for a
performance on Sunday at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Talent manager/producer Larry Rudolph, who is working with Britney, tells E!: "She is definitely not performing!"
Turns out, the video was just a general dance rehearsal as Britney gets back in shape for performances.
Britney Spears will open the show at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, PEOPLE has learned.
"MTV has long played an important role in my career. How can I not be there to kick off their 25th VMAs?" Spears tells PEOPLE in a statement.
"I'm excited to open the entire show, to say hi to my fans and to be nominated."
Spears - who has been nominated 16 times and never won a Moon Man - is up for Best Female Video, Best Pop Video and Video of the Year for "Piece of Me."
It's still not known how she'll open the show. A source confirms that the opening segment will not feature a musical performance by Spears.
Adds MTV Networks Music President Van Toffler: "Britney has done everything from perform with a snake, lock lips with Madonna and prove that what
happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas," he says, referring to her lackluster performance at the awards show in Sin City last year. "I can't wait to see
what she does to kick off this year's show."
The VMAs air on MTV at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Sunday from Los Angeles.

win this year and people will be glued to the screen.
yeah it's surprising, they're showing all her past VMA performances at Mtv.com and damn they're great she doesn't thing live but she's a
great entertainer.
