LOS ANGELES (AP) — It took a year, but Britney Spears’ comeback on the MTV Video Music Awards is finally a reality. Spears nabbed all three VMAs she was nominated for, including video of the year, and made triumphant appearance in an atttempt to erase the career-low of last year’s ceremony. Spears didn’t perform. Still, just being there was enough for a standing ovation from the star-studded crowd long before she opened her mouth to get things rolling. Maybe the audience was simply excited to see a glimpse of Britney looking fab once again. The rebounding pop queen wore a short silver mini-dress with a plunging neckline, showcasing her svelte figure. It was a far cry from last year, when her dishelveled, bumbling kickoff was widely panned.
