Talking to MTV after the show, Spears voiced her joy in the Video Vanguard Award presentation, as she said, “It was really crazy. I had no idea what to expect. The kids were amazing and so entertaining, and it was a really fun night. It was really cool. I was like, ‘Wow, that’s really sweet!’
The “29-year-old added, “I loved the little girl in the ‘Slave’ outfit. She was just so tiny and she delivered and she had such a great performance…. They were all so great, and you could tell they worked really hard.”
Also mentioning Gaga’s intro (which included an impromptu smooch, Britney gushed, “She was in full character! We just got onstage and we just kind of felt it out; we didn’t know what was going on, so it was interesting!”
About a month ago, some very clever U.S. Marines rocked out to “Hold It Against Me” and posted a video of themselves lip-syncing to the Britney Spears hit.

And welcome to the exact moment she realized this wasn’t a McDonald’s and was tricked into dressin’ all fancy again.

In a textbook example of how not to handle a celebrity client with special needs, Britney Spears was actually allowed near her Twitter account this evening where she left a very special message for Star and RadarOnline (above) after the two collaborated on the fake audio recordings of Britney calling her husband of 55 Read More …
As you’ve probably heard, Britney Spears has been hit with serious allegations from Star and Radar Online, both of which claim the star’s boyfriend abused her.
Britney purportedly called her ex-husband, Jason Alexander, to tell him about a beating she suffered at the hands of Jason Trawick. He has a recording of this.
Now, both Spears’ manager, Larry Rudolph, and Trawick himself have strongly denied the allegations in a statement issued wide and posted on Britney’s site.
“Every aspect of the story published by Star Magazine is completely and utterly false and Star Magazine was informed of the falsity before it was published.”
“The statements attributed to Jason Alexander are a complete fabrication as Britney has not had any form of communication with Mr. Alexander in years.”
“The audio recording posted on Radar Online purporting to be between Britney Spears and Jason Alexander is so obviously fake as to be laughable.”
“Suffice it to say, that Jason Trawick has never laid a hand on Britney.”
“This is just another example of the irresponsible nature of the tabloid media relying on shoddy sources and false information for the sole purpose of selling magazines, without regard to the truth and without regard to who they hurt in the process.”
“These irresponsible statements are defamatory and Britney Spears’ legal team will be taking legal action against all of the appropriate parties.”
Earlier in the day, Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush also spoke with Jason Trawick directly, who said the assault allegations came out of nowhere.
Trawick told Bush that he’s been busy arranging a charity screening of Secretariat for some children in the Valley and prepping for Spears’ birthday on Thursday. He added that the voice on the recording, posted on Radar, was clearly not Brit’s.
When contacted by Access Hollywood earlier on Wednesday, David Perel, Executive Vice President of Radar Online, claimed that the recording was “100 percent verified” and a rep for Star responded that, “Star stands by its story.”
