Troubled pop star Britney Spears will have another chance to storm the MTV stage, after receiving a nomination for this year's Video Music Awards (VMAs).

The star has been nominated by network bosses in the category of Best Female Video for her hit single Piece of Me, competing alongside a list of music's top female rockers. The full list of nominees in the category is scheduled for release on Friday.

The Toxic hitmaker has rocked audiences with a series of shocking performances at the outlandish awards show.

Five years ago, she wowed viewers when she locked lips with Madonna during a duet. And she made a disastrous comeback attempt at last year's show, baring her belly and stumbling across the stage.

The MTV VMAs show is set to air in the U.S. on September 7th.
