The last album, the style and sound was about vintage glam - this one is all about the future."This will be his first time Max can watch me perform on television, but only for a little while because he's not really allowed to watch television yet. I'll make an exception for the VMAs."Russell added: "The VMAs are going to be so great that Christina Aguilera is willing to risk her newborn baby's sight!"Following the revelation that Britney Spears will be opening the show, Russell hinted exactly what the controversial singer is intending to do at the ceremony.He said: "She's not serving canapes or doing a bizarre haircut on herself! She's not performing, but she's certainly doing the show in a professional capacity."It was also confirmed 'Stronger' singer Kanye West will close the show.

....I'll bet...10 people...want to see that! Tell me, is there going to be another bi-curious lip lock, to prop up some more faded music careers? What's next, sex on stage? Are we going to be forced to see more blacks with criminal records, gold teeth, pimpy dress, acting like a mix between mickey mouse and malcom X? What are the chances?

They should call it NTV.
