Idolator

Yes, we've been fooled before, but apparently the long-delayed, funeral-themed video for Britney Spears' "Gimme More"—the song that, it should be noted, topped this week's digital-tracks chart with 179,000 downloads—is really for sure going to make its way into the world sometime within the next few days. At least, we think so—the music-video-industry site Video Static has the clip listed as one of the new entries on MTV's playlist for the week of Oct. 8.

No wonder the news segments on TRL have been trotting out every so-called expert willing to opine about Britney's problems over the past few days; between the lost custody, the driver's license, and the other various and sundry rumors, having a Britney video in rotation would be quite the 360-degree coverage coup for the channel, although we're sure the Viacom powers that be are cursing the fact that there's no way to have searches for "britney sex video" somehow result in people being lured into actually watching those 5 a.m. music-video blocks.
