Less than a day after it was announced that Britney Spears would be making an appearance — but not performing — at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards, it was confirmed that another singing superstar mom, Christina Aguilera, would both be showing up to the 25th annual ceremony and singing live.

“I’m very excited,” said Christina about the news, which was announced at a press conference at Paramount Studios in L.A. Refering to her 8-month-old son Max Liron, Xtina said, “This will be his first time watching me perform on television, but only for a little while because he’s not really allowed to watch television yet. I’ll make an exception for the VMAs.”

British comedian Russell Brand, who was on hand for the announcement, joked, “That kid is going to grow up with a hell of an Oedipus complex!”

In 2003, Christina and Britney made the list of most memorable VMA moments when they joined Madonna for a three-way, all-girl smooch after the Material Girl’s show-opening performance of a medley of her hits.

Also confirmed for Sunday’s ceremony:

• T.I. will perform with Rihanna.

• The Jonas Brothers (who Brand labeled “God’s favorite virgins”) will perform and have asked to be introduced by Taylor Swift — a request that Brand joked was “made from below their sexy little waists.”

• Katy Perry will perform Madonna’s pop classic “Like a Virgin.”

• Pete Wentz will somehow be involved with the beginning of the show, “probably with his wife, who is pregnant” said Brand.

• Kanye West will close the show with a performance.

Yesterday, reps for chic L.A. baby boutique Petit Tresor were confirming reports that Jamie Lynn Spears, who shocked the world last December with the exclusive news of her pregnancy, had reached out to Bristol Palin, the pregnant 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, by sending Bristol a care package of embroidered burp cloths from the store.

However, it looks like all may not be what it seems.

“It is not true,” a rep for the new mom tells OK! about the rumor that Jamie Lynn, who gave birth to baby girl Maddie Briann on June 19, had her mom Lynne Spears use her credit card to send the gift basket to Bristol along with a card that read, “Dear Bristol: Hang in there!!!!XOXO”

Lindsay Lohan has turned down a reported $700,000 offer to pose nude for Playboy magazine.

The Mean Girls star was recently rumored to be considering a topless spread in the saucy magazine’s forthcoming 55th anniversary issue. But now a representative for the star has confirmed that Lohan will definitely not be appearing in the publication.

The spokesperson tells New York Post gossip column PageSix, “If there’s nudity, then the answer’s no… She’s not going down the magazine road again.”

Earlier this year, Lohan stripped off for a provocative shoot with New York Magazine - posing semi-naked in a tribute to Marilyn Monroe’s final photoshoot.

Kate Moss made a triumphant return to the catwalk after a five year break from strutting her stuff.

The catwalk queen shocked the fashion industry by taking to the runway at The House Of Blue Eyes fashion show in London’s Shepherd’s Bush on Tuesday.

The sexy star grabbed a top hat and cane and strutted to rapturous applause from friends and fashion fans, who didn’t know she intended on taking center stage.

The event was co-hosted by Scissor Sisters star Ana Matronic and the Gossip frontwoman Beth Ditto, who made her modelling debut in a skin-tight pink clown outfit.

A source tells Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper, “She was really excited, which surprised most people there as she always gives off the impression of being quite calm.”

Lily Allen prefers to record in Los Angeles because she hates making her producer leave his family for England - and there are less distractions for her in Tinseltown.

The Smile singer recorded most of her new album - Stuck on the Naughty Step - during her most recent trip to Hollywood and admits she got a lot more done than she would have in her native London. And her producer got to spend time with his family.

She says, “I feel guilty bringing my producer Greg to England, away from his wife… The last trip (he made) wasn’t very productive. I’ve never been good at working in London - too many distractions. (There are) too many people to go out and have lunch with.”

But it wasn’t all work when Allen hit L.A. for work earlier this year - she saw a few movies and checked out Lil’ Wayne at the House of Blues. And for a few nights she stayed in the Chateau Marmont hotel suite where actor John Belushi died.

She quickly downgraded, however, because, “I couldn’t afford it!”

Jewel and her new husband Ty Murray weren’t on the bus when it crashed into a ditch on the way back to Tennessee following a show with Brad Paisley in Virginia.

No injuries were reported and the passengers were able to catch a ride on Paisley’s bus.

Glad to hear no one was hurt! Brad is such a nice guy for lending hand.
