Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson is rumored to be negotiating an appearance at this year's MTV Video Music Awards according to recent reports.

The icon who turns 50 Friday, may be on the fast track to a comeback according to sources close to the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards which are slated to take place September 7th.

Although details surrounding the icon's appearance have yet to be confirmed by MTV, Jackson is reportedly in talks to present an award with his sister Janet at the ceremony instead  of hitting the stage as some outlets have reported.

In related news, rumors that Britney Spears would be making a comeback at the show have been dismissed by her manager Larry Rudolph who says "Contrary to media reports, Britney was never slated to perform at this year's VMAs."

"She's in the middle of recording her next album, which is going amazingly well, and her focus remains on the studio."
