An item on the Artist I received in my email today from Infobeat, a service providing entertainment new through email, so I couldn't include any url, but this is how it read:



The Artist to show at MTV awards



(Launch)- The Artist formerly known as Prince has been confirmed for this year's MTV Video Music Awards. A spokesperson for the Artist said that he will be attending the event and that he will be introducing TLC for the performance. At this time, however, the Artist is not expected to perform on the show.

Of course, this could be a setup for a suprise performance.
