WATCH: Britney Spears' Hot Promo for MTV's 'VMA's

Who better to promote MTV's Video Music Awards than Britney Spears? She's been nominated 28 times (and won four), and her performances at the show -- you know, dancing with a snake; writhing around in a skin-colored, sequined body suit; and kissing Madonna, etc. -- are legendary.

So it's no surprise she's one of the artists featured in a series of choppy, artsy video clips touting the 28th annual awards show (August 28, 9 p.m. ET).

In the Spears promo, she enters a club pulsating with the sounds of her own songs, mixed with those of Janet Jackson and Madonna. The walls are adorned with posters and song titles from those two influences, plus a quick allusion to Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." Meanwhile, her fellow clubbers are dressed in some of her own, iconic outfits from past videos. It ends with Brit dancing in front of a screen teasing "A Tribute to Britney Spears." Watch the sizzling promo here!

"The general concept of what we are going for is basically called 'The Muse Factory,'" director Jahai Brightly tells MTV News. "It's where all your favorite artists that are going to be at the Video Music Awards this year meet and explore their influences and inspirations."

We're happy to see Britney getting some love and we're hoping that all of this is a sign that she's finally back after countless bumps in the road! She's had a great year -- her seventh album, Femme Fatale, hit number one on the Billboard charts, and she's spent the summer on tour with her boyfriend Jason Trawick and her sons, Jayden, 4, and Preston, 5, in tow.

We'll have to wait and see what this "tribute" will be all about or if she'll even perform at the VMAs. Regardless, she's up for a few awards -- for Best Pop Video and/or for Best Choreography for the song "Till the World Ends" -- so the night will be exciting for her nonetheless. We wish her the best of luck!

Ke$ha Is Channeling 'Sexiness' Of '70s Rock For New Album

Glitter-heavy pop star tells MTV News she's going for 'balls-out, irreverent rock and roll.'

Ke$ha's already got the face paint down pat, and, during recent live sets, she's even taken to guzzling blood out of a human heart, so it should come as no surprise that, on her upcoming album, the pop star is taking things back to the most theatrical era of rock: the prop-heavy, arena-spanning heyday of the 1970s.

Ke$h revealed her plans over the weekend in Los Angeles, on the red carpet of KIIS FM's annual Wango Tango concert, where she told MTV News that the follow-up to her breakout Animal album (and, we suppose, Cannibal too) would be heavy on hard riffs and light on pretty much everything else.

"The next album ... I've been working on writing on the road, but as far as a sound, I just know it's gonna be balls-out, irreverent rock and roll," she said. "I've been pretty much in this '70s rock and roll kick and I just want to capture some of the true essence of what rock and roll is, and that's just irreverence and sexiness and fun and not giving a f---, so we'll definitely put a bit of rock and roll in it."

So, does that mean that fans can expect the likes of Alice Cooper or Peter Frampton to show up on her new album? Perhaps. Because while Ke$ha's new album is still a ways off, she's already begun calling in favors, hoping to line up a killer collabo for the new disc.

"I'm trying, trust me," she laughed. "I really would love to connect with one of my idols, I mean, that's my dream. I'm working on it."

What do you think of Ke$ha going rock for her next album? Tell us in the comments!

"I am so romantic about Gypsies. They're not allowed to do anything until they get married. So they all get married really young, at sixteen. You can't believe the dresses. They're like blinging butterflies times 10; they can't move down the aisle! It's so genius. I was just watching Jamie, so cute, and I was like, these girls, they just spend their whole life waiting for that day—let's do it!"

Kate Moss on what compelled her to walk down the aisle and wed new husband Jamie Hince. Wow, Kate, "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding"? Really? Sheesh. [Vogue]
