West blasts decision to allow Britney open VMAs

Kanye West has hit out at television bosses for choosing Britney Spears to open Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards ceremony in Las Vegas.

West is upset he was not asked to perform his song 'Stronger' - currently at number two in the US singles chart, although the hip-hop star believes the track is currently the country's top seller - instead of Spears playing her new track 'Gimme More'.
