Check out Britney Spears in the promo above and after the jump for the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), hosted by Russell Brand.

Britney Spears looks pretty sane and cleaned up, right? The Russell Brand and Britney Spears MTV VMA ads also feature a 9,000 lb. elephant in the shot.

The MTV Video Music Awards/VMAs air September 7. No word yet on whether Britney Spears will appear on the show - she is nominated for best female video and best pop video.
