No word yet on which of Brit’s videos could be honored, but with “Womanizer,” “Circus,” “If U Seek Amy,” and “Radar” all released from her latest album, “Circus,” the pop star could be nominated for multiple videos.

In more VMA noms news, Eminem and Kanye West will battle it against each other in four different categories, MTV News reported.

Eminem’s “We Made You” video and Kanye’s “Love Lockdown” will duke it out for Video of the Year, Best Male Video and Best Hip Hop Video. And “We Made You” is up against Kanye’s “Paranoid” in the Best Special Effects category.
