**UPDATE**
MTV confirmed via their website that Janet Jackson will indeed take the stage at the VMAs on Sunday to pay tribute to her brother.Following Jackson's sudden death in June, his sister Janet will return to the VMA stage to pay musical tribute to her brother. On Sunday, Janet - who has won nine VMAs - will make a special appearance at the VMAs to help open the show and honor MJ's career. Previous reports noting that choreographer Frank Gaston is involved are erroneous.
Performers include Beyonce, Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, Green Day, Pink, Taylor Swift and Muse. Among the evening's presenters are Katy Perry, Nelly Furtado, Leighton Meester, Chace Crawford, Ne-Yo and Miranda Cosgrove. (Source: MTV)
TMZ broke the story yesterday on their website. Check out the details after the jump.
"Janet Jackson has been busting her butt rehearsing for a Michael Jackson tribute at the MTV Video Awards this weekend -- and it promises to be a nipple-free affair. We think.
Ms. Jackson is set to put on a huge MJ-honoring performance featuring 20 backup dancers -- which is being put together by some of the best choreographers in the world, including Frank Gatson and Travis Payne.
According to Kryiss Grant, one of the dancers involved (who was also an usher at MJ's burial), some rehearsals have lasted 15 hours a day.
Once Janet is finished honoring her brother, Grant tells us "there won't be a dry eye in the house."
There is no other person better suited to do an MJ tribute than Janet. If this is true we can't wait. The VMAs may not be boring after all. With performances from Jay-Z featuring Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Green Day, Lady Gaga and Janet we will definitely be tuned in. The VMAs will air live on Sunday, September 13th at 9pm.
