Miami MC says the dancers in his performance on Sunday night will ‘create Pandora’s box.’ By Rob Markman, with reporting by Jim Cantiello Pitbull rehearses for his 2011 VMA performance Photo: John Shearer/ WireImage Pitbull gets pretty demanding on his hit “Give Me Everything,” , but for his 2011 VMA performance, Mr. 305 looks to turn the tables and offer fans a taste of Miami. “I did get the most beautiful women from Miami to come over and create Pandora’s box,” Pit told MTV News. “So if you’re bringing your wife, your girlfriend, boyfriend to the show, you might lose ’em.” MTV News was present at Mr. Worldwide’s VMA rehearsal on Thursday at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, and the rapper comes through as promised. Pit and collaborators Ne-Yo and Nayer ran through their number, flanked by approximately 60 curvaceous female dancers. “We have some backup dancers: one or two or 60,” Ne-Yo teased . “And two of the best-dressed men in the business. What more can you ask for?” Lindsay Lohan’s lawsuit hasn’t dampened Pit’s party plans. The troubled actresses filed suit against the Cuban pop sensation, claiming that his lyrics on “Give Me Everything” were defamatory. But during the run-through, Mr. 305 didn’t bite his tongue as he freely rapped the line in question without censoring himself. “I got it locked like Lindsay Lohan,” Pit spit. On Thursday, Pit addressed the suit in a video on his Planet Pit website, inviting La Lohan to join him at the VMAs . “We’ll be performing [‘Give Me Everything”] at the VMAs and, as a matter of fact, I’d like to send out an invitation to Lindsay Lohan,” Pitbull said. “Hopefully she can come with me to the VMAs, and we can figure this out.” According to TMZ , however, the actress has declined. Still, Pit’s offer stands. “I said it, I meant it, and if she takes it, great. If she doesn’t, cool. But she will have her tickets at will call,” he told MTV News. In the meantime, the show goes on, and if the bilingual hit-maker’s practice run is any indication, Pit plans to leave everything he’s got on the stage, proving that it’s better to give than receive. Que rico! The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live Sunday, August 28, from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT, following the Selena Gomez-hosted pre-show at 8.

British ‘Price Tag’ singer won’t let a broken foot slow her down on Sunday night. By Gil Kaufman, with reporting by Christina Garibaldi Jessie J Photo: MTV News Even if you haven’t heard Jessie J ‘s infectious, bouncy summer jam “Price Tag,” you are probably familiar with some of her songs. “Party in the U.S.A.”? Yeah, she co-wrote the Miley Cyrus hit. Chris Brown’s “I Need This” — Jessie again. She’s also worked on songs for Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Alicia Keys. And, of course, Jessie J is the house artist for this year’s VMAs , the capper to a year that saw her finally release her long-gestating debut, Who You Are, which included a tune she originally wrote for Rihanna, the raunchy “Do It Like a Dude.” What befits a budding British pop star’s biggest moment on live American TV? How about a giant orthopedic brace? And we don’t mean the fake Lady Gaga kind. “I broke my foot, so I have this crazy ‘Star Wars’ moon boot,” Jessie said on Thursday about being laid-up for her VMA debut. “I’m gonna pimp out my crutches for the red carpet.” While rehearsing, Jessie fell off a stage and snapped her ankle, but she said it will have no effect on her performance at all, as she plans to take a seat on a throne and rock it out. “It hasn’t really sunk in yet,” she said of the honor of serving as the house artist. “I’ve watched the VMAs every single year, and always wished I could be there. … So, I’m going to be singing a lot, and people seeing me, and every single person I’ve ever looked up to in the music industry is going to be in the same room at once. Broken foot or not, I’m still going to wild out and do my thing.” With Britney, Lil Wayne, Beyonc
