LAS VEGAS - With skin, snakes and smooches in her past MTV
repertoire, there's no telling what's in store Sunday when Britney
Spears opens this year's Video Music Awards.

The 25-year-old tabloid magnet will perform "Gimme More," the first
single from her upcoming album, MTV announced Thursday.

Spears is a VMAs veteran: She covered the Rolling
Stones' "Satisfaction" in 2000, stripping down to a nude-colored
bikini top and matching pants; a year later, she performed "I'm A
Slave 4 U" with a 7-foot albino python around her neck. In 2003, she
and Madonna had the watercooler moment of the year with an open-mouth
kiss in the opening act.

Sunday's show in Las Vegas will mark Spears' latest and biggest step
toward a career comeback after a period of public misbehavior, short-
lived marriages, ultra-short hair-don'ts and other misadventures.

Her long-awaited new album is due for release Nov. 13 on Jive Records.
