HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — It may not be prom night, but Britney Spears and Russell Brand are hoping to connect for the upcoming 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
In a new promo for the Sept. 13 awards show, Spears is seen strutting around in a white bikini as she ponders getting a call from Brand, who is returning to host the event for the second straight year.
"I wonder if he'll invite me," wonders the pop star. "I mean, I can obviously get an invite, but it would be nice for Russell to invite me personally, now that we're friends and all."
Brand, meanwhile, is fighting is own inner demons, wondering if perhaps his controversial ways had set him back.
