Britney Spears is returning to the VMAs…sorta. After making headlines with a disastrous performance at last year’s MTV Video Music Awards, Britney will appear alongside this year’s host Russell Brand in a television ad spot for the September 7th ceremony.

The shoot also included a 9,000 pound elephant-a running gig about last year’s “Gimme More” catastrophe.
The commercial was shot in Hollywood on Tuesday and is set to begin airing later this month, according to E!
