No Emmy appearance for Britney Spears

A representative for Britney Spears has insisted that the singer will not be making an appearance at the Emmy Awards.

Recent rumours suggested that Britney was planning to perform at the ceremony this weekend, in an attempt to put her MTV Video Music Awards "embarrassment" behind her.

However, a spokeswoman for the 'Toxic' singer said: "Britney Spears has no plans to appear on the Emmys this Sunday."

Britney's MTV performance was panned by critics earlier this week. BBC reporter David Willis claimed that it would "go down in the history books as being one of the worst to grace the MTV awards."
