Britney Spears may open this year's MTV Video Music Awards.

The troubled singer was ridiculed for her shambolic appearance at the ceremony last year, appearing dazed as she struggled to remember the lyrics and dance routine to 'Gimme More'.

Chris Brown has admitted his relationship with Rihanna is "growing." Chris has opened up about his blossoming romance with the 'Umbrella' singer, revealing his mother Joyce has bonded with 20-year-old Rihanna.

Chris said: "Our relationship is growing. We started off as friends and we're getting a little bit closer now. My mom is real cool about it all. They both have light skin with green eyes, so."
