MTV to Britney Spears: Hit us, baby, one more time?

Looks like MTV may soon be saying to Britney Spears: Gimme more!

As if her last appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2007 wasn't bad enough, those notoriously crazy kudos may ask Britney Spears, oops, to do it again!

The Associated Press reports that the musical channel "isn't ruling out" the possibility of having the pop-wreck return for more mischief and meltdowns in the future.

"Everyone deserves a second or third chance, right?" says MTV prez Van Toffler.

Answer: No, Mr. Toffler, not serial killers, mail bombers or VMA bombers. Got that?

When the AP asked him if he was joking, he replied at first, "Sorta," then added, "Who knows?"

In the pantheon of award-show fiascos, Britney Spears' "big comeback" reigns right up there not far behind Rob Lowe's crooning "Proud Mary" with Snow White at the Oscars. Or, wait! Was it even worse?

However, it did draw 7.1 million viewers the first time around. And a few billion more on news-channel and YouTube replays. Even Rob and Snow haven't topped that!

While weighing what to do for the next kudocast scheduled for the Paramount Pictures Studio in L.A. on Sept. 7, Toffler says, "I'm not sure how we top Britney opening the show," said Toffler. "We are working on it every minute of every day."

MTV will spread the party across the studio's various venues — sound stages, rooftops, fake city streets.

"The backlot gives us versatility," he added. "You can do street performances, on-top-of-building performances, on-the-side-of-a-building performances, inside-of-a-studio performances, so we're pretty excited."

Here's the video redux. Or wait! Oooops, is this the correct clip?

Now here's the Rob Lowe-Snow White duet — it starts about four minutes into this clip.

You People are sick. I love Brintey spears so fuck off bitches. That means you need to get a life.

They want us to think there is a slim chance of her coming back so they can plaster her name all over their billboard like they did last year like its some surprise. They need britney their ratings are for crap without her.

You mean Sarah Silverman!!! Not Alicia Silverstone!! Two completely different people!!!!!!

i WOULD LIKE THIS VICIOUS NASTY REPORTER TO DO BETTER THAN BRIT IN THAT COSTUME! GO BRIT GIMME MORE. YOU ROCK BABE

what a vicious reporter you are! I agree the performance could have been better but it was not that bad. I would like to see this reporter do better on stage in that costume. Smart*** GO BRIT I WANT MORE!

Yes, Yes!!!! I look forward to Britney performing againa at the VMA's!!!
Last year's performance was really good considering all the stress she was under and coming back from having 2 babies, and a divorce.

We all want and deserve a 2nd chance.
Britney deserves another chance and another until she gets it right.

The media has tried to turn people against Britney and has tried to bury her career.

Give her a chance PLEASE!!

And I agree the performance was not nearly as bad as the vultures - judgmental critics - say.

Britney tried her best at the VMA's...i have seen the performance loads of times and i dont think she did that badly...before she went on stage, alicia silverstone refered to britney's children as 'mistakes'... what kind of evil woman says that...those little boys are gorgeous...and all children are blessings...if she does it again i will be immensely excited!! She is the true pop princess......GO BRIT!!! xxxxxxxxx
