Say it 'aint so Britney

I don't even really believe this little story (and I find the whole thing shameful)but Us magazine claims Fox is trying to get Britney Spears to make an appearance on the show - reportedly to apologize for her VMA performance.

Us magazine is reporting an "Emmy Awards show source" as saying Fox is "in negotiations" with NitBrit.

However, a source close to Spears says: "I can't say this is 100 percent not true. All I can say is that the Emmy people aren't dealing with her record company, her manager or her agents at William Morris. So if she is doing anything for the Emmys then it's not going through the official channels."

If Spears appears on the Emmys then it will be official: SJP & JJ are running NitBrit's career! Nothing says "professional" like letting a 1-year-old and 2-year-old run your business. "We're country ya'all!"

How shameless are these networks? It is beyond disgusting. They don't care if she performs or appears - they just want the rumor mill turning to bring in viewers. Blech.
