Many calls the 25th MTV Video Music Awards as a Britney night. She opened the night with a little skit (no singing) and received the very first award given out that night, best female video for the song "Piece of Me," dedicating it to her fans. She also won best pop video and video of the year for the same song.
On the other hand, host Russell Brand's jokes regarding George Bush and the purity rings of the Jonas Brothers caused a bit of controversy. He later apologized, anyway, so I guess all is well.
Christina Aguilera did a techno-remix of "Genie in a Bottle" and also sang her new song "Keeps Gettin' Better."
