SIZZLER: Britney Spears WILL Perform at the MTV VMAs!!

MTV might not want you to know it, but Britney Spears is, in fact, going to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas! The “mystery man” she’s been seen around with is actually her choreographer R.J. Durell, who we only hope is smart enough to invent a new dance called “The Trainwreck”, which we believe would have twice the lasting power of “The Wahtoosy.”

And while MTV hasn’t officially announced Britney’s performance, 24Sizzler.com got exclusive word from R.J.’s agent. This is going to be so sweet!:

In an exclusive interview with 24Sizzler.com, R.J.’s agent Julie McDonald says the pair’s relationship is platonic, and in fact, he’s working with Britney on her performance for the MTV Video Music Awards, being held Sept. 9.

“They’re working together,” McDonald told 24Sizzler.com Friday afternoon. “He is co-choreographing her performance for the VMAs with Nick Flores, who worked with her as dancer before, so he brought R.J. in.”

McDonald tells 24Sizzler.com that R.J. and Britney make a great choreographing couple: “They’re very good at what they do,” she said. “They’re young and fresh. He’s very talented.”

She adds that this will hopefully kick off the beginning of a long-lasting working relationship. “Hopefully it will work out well, and they’ll work together again. We hope this continues.”

As for the specifics of the performance, which has yet to be officially confirmed by MTV, McDonald says, “It’s being kept under wraps.” She adds they began working together “a couple of weeks ago” and they’ve been spending time together “rehearsing the number.”

And is their relationship more than just friends or co-workers? “I would doubt that,” she said.

Don’t be so hasty there. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lil’ R.J. was brought into the world 8 and a half months from now. Full Disclozh: We might have a little crush on R.J., if only because he choreographed this kick-ass looking Rock of Ages musical. Please, please, please say the Britney performance will be even half as hilare.

You can catch the VMA’s on MTV, September 9 @ 9 PM!
