Madona, Britney Spears and Christina Aguelera - the kiss

In case you didn't see it.

Not everyone was dazzled by *the kiss* writes one Brit: In snogging them both, she confuses matters. Britney and Christina, when they were on the way up seven or eight years ago, were rivals. Now they have both been superseded by Beyonce Knowles. So they are vulnerable to getting involved in this sort of silliness - but too foolish to hold out for exclusivity. Madonna got her headlines. I worry for her, however. Seldom is the contrived public snog a prelude to good times. Remember Piers Merchant? The unappealing Tory MP, caught bang to rights, attempted to brazen it out by allowing himself to be photographed apparently fishing a bit of food out of Mrs Merchant's dentures with his tongue. full article at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2003/08/30/wmad30.xml

So last night, how'd you think Britney celebrated her big performance and her return to the spotlight? Where else, an after party! She went and partyed at the Maverick VMA After Party at the Four Seasons Restaurant in NYC with other celebrities including one of her perfomance partner, Christina Aguilera who wore a racy button on her jacket that said "I f'cked Britney Spears". Interesting...but none the less, quite funny! "Christina And Justin Comment On Britney" Tonight on Access Hollywood they interviewed Christina and Justin who both had something to say about Britney and last night. Christina said that both Britney and her practiced kissing Madonna at rehearsal and Christina was comfortable with it but Britney was not. Madonna had to keep on saying: kiss me, Britney kiss me. Christina was then asked if she thought Britney needed to loosen up? Christina said "yeah but I think she needs to loosen up in general". That's harsh especially coming from someone who just performed with her and had a performance of a lifetime. Justin said he was not shocked by the performance and that he liked it, he said it was sexy and he wont take that away from anyone up there. Justin also said the cameras were right there and as soon as Madonna and Britney kissed they just went in his face and that is the reason why he had a weird facial expression.

Anyone who's ever questioned Britney or Madonna's acting abilities should reconsider. Not only did the ladies show off some blood-pressure-raising moves, their kisses were nothing like the infamous mouth mush between Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley and far more like something from late-night Cinemax. Their opening number began with Spears emerging from an enormous white cake in a wedding dress and veil. After Britney sang several verses from "Like a Virgin," Aguilera came out and picked up the vocals for what was the pair's first performance together since the Mickey Mouse Club. But this was no kid's stuff. Within moments they were writhing on the ground with their legs spread. Then Madonna descended from the cake, dressed in black and singing "Hollywood" Dancing provocatively with her two prot�g�s, she planted a sexy smooch on Britney's mouth, then turned and delivered one to Christina. It was such a performance-defining moment, it's easy to forget that Missy Elliott came out and sang the chorus from "Work It" before it was all over. "Reaction To The VMA Kiss" The Evening Standard has reaction to last night's Video Music Awards kiss between Madonna and Britney Spears / Christina Aguilera. One MTV producer said: "It was sensational, but I wonder what the good folk in places like Provo, Utah state, would make of it. Middle America is not gonna let this one go lightly." *NSYNC star Justin Timberlake said: "I am not saying anything about it - that's how I get into trouble." But Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon said: "I wish it was me she was snogging." VMA host Chris Rock said: "That kiss was good, but where was mine?"

mtv.com: NEW YORK � With just a few minutes of lip locking, hip wiggling and thigh stroking, Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera set the bar sky high for all of the performers at this year's MTV Video Music Awards.

Slate's comment Britney Spears appeared center stage in a wedding dress and sang the first verse of Madonna's "Like a Virgin" like a pro. Then Christina Aguilera showed up, raven-haired, but also in wedding gear, to give power and range to the chorus. The girls half-heartedly danced a duet tribute to Madonna's 1984 bridal writhe. And at last Madonna herself emerged, wearing thigh-high vinyl boots, a top hat, and tails. She sang a little, in her usual Rex Harrison bark-it-out way. But the trio did have a surprise in store. Madonna had come as the man�the sugar daddy, maybe, twirling the little girls, keeping them in line, and finally kissing Spears. She also kissed Aguilera, to be fair, but the camera barely registered it, and we all know that Madonna has long leered at Britney. Britney swooned into the kiss, her mouth soft. The small thrill of this kiss was real to me because, though girls making out with girls is an old party stunt, this time it came off as female lechery: overmuscled, rich, landed matriarch Madonna (in tails, no less) preying on sweetie Spears, who (in wedding white) hasn't even had a first marriage yet. "Hollywood," Madonna cooed as she brushed hair tenderly from Britney's face. "How could it hurt you when it looks so good?" I expect we'll see this wise-woman/callow-girl romance around more now. Britney and Madonna certainly recalled the matchup in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle of smiley Cameron Diaz with shrewd Demi Moore, another pure protein icon of perimenopause. the full story at http://slate.msn.com/id/2087762/

And the aussie view. Is Madonna just up to her old tricks or is there something more to the Sapphic smooching on the MTV awards? asks Gabriella Coslovich. Ho hum. Here we go again. Arch-eroticist, so-so-actor and sometime singer Madonna is fleshing out her bad girl repertoire, this time doing the larynx-limbo with pop nymphettes Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. A three-way girlie-snog was the climax of a raunchy dance routine performed by Britney, Madge and Aguilera at yesterday's opening of the MTV Video Music Awards in New York. But was their Sapphic smooching more a show of desperation than a sign of these sexually liberated times? And does anybody really care, other than the blokes out there salivating at the sight of Madge slurping on the pop babes snapping at her heels? Lesbian chic, especially when appropriated by an ageing celebrity, or an advertiser flogging the latest must-have fragrance or kitten-heeled shoes, is as "now" as last season's ugh boot revival. More than 10 years have passed since LA Law's Amanda Donohue performed the first woman-to-woman kiss on prime-time American television. Everyone from Sex and the City's salacious Samantha to Rachel in Friends has since got in on the act. So what should we make of this latest trio of tongue-duelling femmes? full story at http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/08/29/1062050668494.html

Good looking girls French kissing each other? I'm ALL for it!!!!

Not Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leave it to Madonna, who kicked off the first MTV Music Awards, to cause a stir. Some pretty interesting commentary and pix don't you think? Wish it was you? I mean, wish it was you onstage getting the bonker from Britney and Christina?

I'd be happy to share a hotel room with Britney and Christina, yes...

Wow, Mike you're escalating from a couple of onstage bonks to a full scale menage a trois.

What can I say...?

If you had to choose one of the three, which would it be?

Well...my immediate reaction was Britney, but then Christina's pretty hot these days...dirrrrty.. hee hee hee... Nah, reckon it'd still be Britney but I'd be glancing back over my shoulder at Miss Aguilera.

If I had to chose between Britney or Christina it would have to be Christina.

Great! We don't clash! Now where did I leave their phone numbers...

Mike there is no way you could even have Britney or Christina's phone number.

It was a joke, Gregory... Nurse! Sense of humour to cubicle three, please!!!

I know I was trying to have some fun with you. I'n not great at this yet

Ah, OK...text is not the most emotive medium going, that's for certain. Misunderstandings are easy...

Now we've got "the breast" to go with "this kiss". you know the Superbowl thing with Janet Jackson getting her breast bared by Justin Timberlake. Why wasn't she allowed at the Grammies and Justin was?

um, the media spent waaaay too much time covering this stunt and only showing brit and madonna. seems they forgot christina was up there too. user &: i agree with you. they were both involved. and really, why did it raise such a ruckus? no one saw anything until the media started slo-moing it and pointing things out. silliness.
