MTV Gets Ready For A Britney-Katy Perry Make-Out Session
The first sets of nominees for this year’s Video Music Awards were announced during FNMTV on Friday, and perhaps what’s most impressive is the fact that bubblegum star Chris Brown got nominated in both announced categories, despite one of them being Best Female Video. (His duet partner Jordin Sparks’ “No Air” got one of the nods.) But aside from that, the big, obvious question posed by both “Piece Of Me” and “I Kissed A Girl” being up for Best Female Video is this: Will Britney Spears be coaxed out of her hermitude and forced to kiss Katy Perry? And if the smooch does happen, does that mean the Madonna Curse will be passed on? We can only hope. The full list of nominees for Best Female Video and Best Male Video–complete with director info!–after the jump.
