Britney Spears may open this year's MTV Video Music Awards.The troubled singer was ridiculed for her shambolic appearance at the ceremony last year, appearing dazed as she struggled to remember the lyrics and dance routine to 'Gimme More'.However, bosses have not ruled her out as a potential performer at this year's bash in September. Van Toffler, president of MTV Networks Music Group, said: "Everyone deserves a second or third chance, right?"I'm not sure how we top Britney opening the show. We are working on it every minute of every day."Britney was reportedly spotted "crying badly" backstage after her performance in Las Vegas last year as her comeback was described as a "disaster".Wearing a sparkly black bra and hot pants, she looked bleary eyed and unfit as she struggled to keep up with her energetic backing dancers, who threw themselves around stripper poles.
