MUSIC NEWS: BEYONCE TO TAKE THE STAGE AT VMA’S / “WATCH THE THRONE” PLANS / BRANDY TALKS NEW ALBUM

MTV announced today that Beyoncé will take the stage at this year’s VMA’s. It’s no surprised, either, considering that the international sensation has been nominated for “Best Female Video,” “Best Choreography” and “Best Cinematography.”

“Beyoncé has delivered some of the most legendary and memorable performances in VMA history, we are so excited she’ll be returning to the VMA stage this year,” said Amy Doyle, Executive Producer of the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards.

“Everyone will be talking about how she set the VMA stage on fire-yet again!”

Beyoncé joins previously announced 2011 VMA performers Lady Gaga, Adele, Bruno Mars, Lil’ Wayne, Chris Brown and more. Looks like this has been a pretty hectic performance season for Beyoncé. Filming a couple videos, the four intimate live shows and now a big VMA performance. Any ideas or thoughts on which song she should perform?
