2011 Billboard Music Awards - Tonight!

Who better to raise the curtain on the 2011 Billboard Music Awards – which return Sunday night after a five-year hiatus – than Britney Spears, who earlier in the afternoon was seen at a dress rehearsal with Rihanna, sources close to the show tell PEOPLE.

"She looked fabulous," one of the sources says about Spears, "better than ever. The opening is sexy and playful, Britney's's got a fantastic entrance. It's epic."

Live on the stage of the MGM Grand Garden Arena Las Vegas, Spears will perform "Til the World Ends" with nominee Nicki Minaj after the latter delivers her hit "Superbass" backed by a slew of male dancers.

The show will air live on ABC, with Hangover 2 star Ken Jeong as host. Previously announced among the performers are Cee Lo Green, Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez, the Black Eyed Peas and Keith Urban.
