Britney Spears was recruited to open MTV's Video Music Awards "to make a statement," the show's producer says, officially confirming weeks of reports that the singer will perform.

"I wanted to start the show in a very big and dramatic way, and she's the one to do that," VMA executive producer Jesse Ignjatovic tells MTV.com. "She'll captivate everyone, and set the tone for rest of the night."

Spears consulted with illusionist Criss Angel on "some moments of the performance" for Sunday night's show at the Palms Hotel and Casino, says Ignjatovic, who also confirmed that she'll perform her single "Gimme More" from her upcoming album.

"You can expect the things we want and expect from Britney – that will all be there," he says. "What I've see of it is great. She'll be dancing, performing, dong her thing. That's exactly what we all want."

Spears has been frequently spotted with Angel in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, most recently at the opening of LAX Nightclub last weekend at the Luxor.

Behind the VMAs: Britney ripped mercilessly
  • Story Highlights
  • Britney Spears' performance met with disbelief and mockery
  • Observer: "She soooo should have stayed home. ...What was the point?"
  • Jermaine Dupri bought tequila for everyone


LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CNN) -- Embarrassing. God-awful. Painful. Excruciating.

Those are but a few of the words that audience members used to describe Britney Spears ill-fated "comeback" performance at the MTV Video Awards at Las Vegas' Palms Hotel Sunday evening.

When Spears hit the stage the crowd roared. Moments later many were staring in stunned silence. Train wrecks have a way of doing that to people.

One woman dressed in a low-plunging floral gown did manage to eke out a few words. They were not nice.

"Britney looks like a hot, sweaty mess," she declared, as the singer lip-synched her way through her latest single, "Gimme More." "Look at her. She's barely moving."

Others criticized everything from Spears' weight (mushy midsection) to her hair (cheap wig or weave) and still others wondered if she was, in their words, "on something."

In the past, Spears has managed to deliver memorable performances (dancing with a yellow python; making out with Madonna), but in a women's bathroom at the Palms Hotel, none were discussing her glory years. When not touching up their lipstick or fixing their hair, the ladies had a ball eviscerating Spears.

Teetering on perilously high stilettos, one woman in a skirt the size of a handkerchief pronounced Spears' career over. "She soooo should have stayed home; it was really sad. What was the point?"

It was a question that would be asked repeatedly throughout the evening. At Tao, the restaurant where celebrities like Janet Jackson and Alicia Keys partied after the show, talk of Spears' debacle raged.

Tommy Lee and Kid Rock's brawl also had people buzzing. "My friend who was right there said that Kid Rock threw the first punch and then it just erupted into mayhem," one reveler said, before waxing rhapsodic about Pamela Anderson and her, ahem, virtues.

Hip-hop mogul (and Janet Jackson's boyfriend) Jermaine Dupri was far more interested in delivering a hurting of a different kind. Not satisfied with the level of intoxication in the room, he ordered 10 bottles of Patron tequila for the crowd.

"I want everyone in here to get drunk," he yelled. "I want people stumbling home. We're partying tonight." Impromptu performances by rappers like T.I. and Nelly and singers like Robin Thicke soon followed.

Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx also put on a brief show, singing a few lines from the hit song "Golddigger." Champagne, and not tequila, was his drink of choice. He spent much of the evening swigging from a bottle of Dom Perignon as an assortment of women danced around him. A brunette in skin-tight jeans and a tank top flashed her breasts repeatedly.

Foxx, sporting black sunglasses and a do-rag, smiled brightly. "It's crazy up in here," he crowed.

Why did Britney do this to herself? She is just making a fool of herself over and over again. I actually use to like her. Now she just looks crazy. I will pray for her.

 
Britney Spears's Hairdresser Quit Before VMA Performance


Before her now-notorious performance at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas, Britney Spears had a spat with celebrity hairstylist Ken Paves, PEOPLE reports in its latest issue, on newsstands Friday.

Weeks before the awards show, "Britney had requested his two female assistants [to do her extensions] since she prefers women around her," and was disappointed when Paves himself arrived, says a Spears source. The stylist soon left, taking his hair with him.

"He bailed," says the source. Says Paves's rep: "Ken made the professional decision not to do her hair for the VMAs."

That wasn't Spears's only problem – there was also a wardrobe flap. An MTV rep says costumers picked out a form-flattering corset for her to wear, but Spears chose a bikini instead.

Reality TV Judges Rate Britney Spears's VMA Act


And now the professionals are weighing in: Reality TV judges Simon Cowell and Bruno Tonioli are offering their – surprisingly different – opinions of Britney Spears's much-maligned performance at Video Music Awards.

While a disappointed Dancing With the Stars' Tonioli told PEOPLE, "Everything was wrong," the usually blistering Cowell of American Idol went easy on the embattled pop star.

Speaking to Extra, Cowell said, "She stole the show, whether you liked it or not. The only thing you heard about the following day was Britney Spears."

Granted, Cowell admitted, "It wasn't the best performance. She wasn't ready for it." But, he notes, "She's had more attention in the last 48 hours than any artist on the planet."

Tonioli, who says, "I'm a fan of hers," also adds: "I think it was sad, because you have someone who used to be great. I saw her years ago in concert, and she was the whole package. She's a gorgeous girl. It was almost like a ghost of that."

Of the performance, Tonioli says, "There was a disconnect in her eyes, dancing was poor, she couldn't even get the lip- synching together. She obviously has talent and it has been squandered. How could something like this happen?"

In a way, Cowell is equally bewildered. His advice to Spears: "Dump her friends ... fire the stylist. Be sensible. Put her in rehearsal for four weeks, get her into the gym [because] when she's on it, she's incredible."

Still, when it comes to her single, "Gimme More" – which debuted strongly on the national radio airplay chart, in 69th place, reports USA Today – Cowell, reverting to his usual character, says, "This was just an okay record."

Simon makes a good point . . . as usual!
