Britney, the VMA's and...Elephant?

Britney Spears shot a promo for the MTV VMAs with host Russell Brand and an elephant.
The promo was shot at Paramount Studios, the location where this year's awards is being held.
A source told E!'s Marc Malkin about the promo, "It was mostly ad-libbed, with Russell asking her for advice about hosting the show. There's also a 9,000-pound elephant in it, as in 'the elephant in the room'".
