Chris Brown Confirmed To Attend the VMAs – But Will He Show Up With Rihanna?

Two years ago, Chris Brown showed up to the 2006 VMAs in New York City looking like a flyer version of Ronald McDonald. Fly, but still -– dude was dressed a few fries too close to burger royalty, landing him on nobody’s best-dressed list that year.

But the following year, at the 2007 VMAs, he owned the show, and his explosive performance -- which included a rendition of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" -- caused many people who keep track of that sort of thing to cite that night as a major moment in his career. The night that catapulted him from pretty-sure-I-know-who-that-guy-is status to that-guy’s-pretty-much-everywhere.

This year Chris Brown's nominated for four VMAs -- Best Video, Best Male Video, Best Dancing In a Video, and Best Choreography, and he’ll be at the show, so if he wins, he’ll be picking up his Moonman/-men in person. And I bet you four or five Happy Meals that he won’t be wearing baggy jeans and hip-hop Hamburgular gear.

Which brings me to my next question: will he show up to the 2008 VMAs with Rihanna, who’s performing that night?

Absolutely no one buys that song and dance that they’re not a couple, and while I GUESS we should all respect their privacy and their “no comment” policy, they’re just too freaking attractive to ignore. Plus it looks like they’re moving in together. And, they’ve got an uncanny knack for showing up separately, denying, denying, denying, playing cat-and-mouse with inquiring minds, sneaking out a VIP back door, and then spending the rest of the night getting all “lovey dovey, kiss kiss” on each other’s laps at an after party. SO ANNOYING!

Watch their 2007 VMA performance, and place your bets -- will Chris Brown and Rihanna will show up to the VMAs together, or will they roll solo and act like perfect strangers?
