Britney Spears could be performing at this year's MTV VMAs after landing a nomination for Piece Of Me.The singer's 2007 performance at the coveted award show went down in history as one of the worst, and bosses are said to be hesitant about letting her take to the stage again.

However, a source says, "They are going to leave it up until the week before to decide. But they can only advise her - Brit will do her own thing."Spears, 26, will go up against Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Jordin Sparks and Katy Perry in the category for Best Female Video.

Spears' Piece of Me promo is named alongside Carey's Touch My Body, Rihanna's Take A Bow, Katy Perry's I Kissed A Girl, and Jordin Sparks' No Air duet with Chris Brown.

Meanwhile, in the Best Male Video category, rap hits Low by Flo Rida, Lollipop by Lil Wayne and T.I.'s No Matter What will compete against tracks by R+B stars Chris Brown and Usher, whose songs With You and Love In This Club respectively, are also in the running for the award.

The Best Male and Female Video nominees were announced last Friday, and the full list of VMA nominees is to be unveiled in the coming weeks.The 25th VMAs is due to take place at the Paramount Pictures Studios in Hollywood on September 7 and will be hosted by British comedian Russell Brand.
