Britney Spears' VMA Promos: 50 Seconds of 'Huh?'

Fueling rumors that Britney Spears may perform at this year's Video Music Awards—and possibly redeem herself after last year's spectacular flame-out—Brit-Brit has filmed a couple of promo videos for the MTV ceremony with host Russell Brand.

For some reason, there's an elephant involved. That may be the least puzzling aspect of the clips, one of which features Britney mistakenly calling Brand "Russell Brown" and laughing maniacally.

Which may or may not be a joke, given that a) no one knows who Russell Brand is and b) Britney's ability to remember her own name varies from day to day.

Check it out below:

 

In the other clip, Brand asks Britney to pinch him so he can be sure he's not dreaming:

 

Too bad Britney can't reach through the screen and pinch the viewers. But the Spears family has proved again and again, even the most dreamlike scenario can be all too real.

Quotables /
“Britney Spears is either a really good sport or broke as all hell. She currently stars in the latest promotional spots for the MTV Video Music Awards with host Russell Brand. Part of the gag involves Britney and Russell sitting in a room with a giant elephant that nobody's talking about - until now: The bitch ate a circus clown! Run for your life!”
The Superficial
“These promotional videos (the other one here) for the VMA Awards make Britney look better than she has in years. She seems normal and sort of charming again. I’m not sure how the director accomplished this, but I’m pretty sure it involved 50 days of editing and magic.”
“When Britney Spears uses a stylist that's not her own, she can look amazing. As she does in these new clips promoting this year's VMA Awards. She can VMA host Russell Brand play cute.”
Socialite Life
“Check out two new hilarious 2008 MTV VMAs commercials featuring host Russell Brand and pop princess Britney Spears.

“It was mostly ad-libbed, with Russell asking her for advice about hosting the show,” a source tells E!. “There’s also a 9,000-pound elephant in it, as in ‘the elephant in the room.’ ”

Britney is looking sooooooooo good and soooooooo normal! Yay Brit Brit!!!!!

The VMAs will air live from Paramount Studios in Los Angeles and one-time only in its original format on Sunday, September 7, 2008 @ 9PM (Live ET/Tape Delayed PT).”
