A Brand New Britney?

Y'know, after spending the last few days watching Britney Spears' super-charming VMA promo with Russell Brand, we didn't think we could be more excited by the prospect of her big appearance at the awards ceremony - until we caught a glimpse of her gloriously hot bikini bod!

Seriously, seeing how bangin' Britney's gotten her body looking, we've gotta believe that the Queen B has something special in store for her fans at the VMAs - a skit with Russell, perhaps? (Don't forget, Brit's a natural comedienne - in fact, according to E!, she and Russell adlibbed nearly their whole promo!)

Of course, we're still holding out hope for a surprise performance - but we'll just have to tune into the VMAs to see what we get!
