No, there's no real need to tune in to MTV's silly Video Music Awards on Sunday — the show's always a jumbled mess, and someone will probably e-mail you YouTube links to the watchable bits on Monday morning anyway. But we can't help but wonder whose bits they will be: Britney, perhaps? She's scheduled to open the show in a "fun and unexpected," risk-free, non-performance role. Kanye? He's breaking his MTV boycott to close things out (and perhaps spill some details on his new album). Lil Wayne? Completely unbiased Website MTV.com is predicting an international breakout moment. You excited yet? No?
