+ Ex-MTV VP says Christina Aguilera asked to have VMA performance re-edited to include Madonna kiss. Surprise, it was Justin Timberlake who ruined it because he was salty over his ex, Brittney Spears, doing the sapphic smooch on stage. “Since hitting the charts in the late ’90s, Spears and Aguilera had been pitted against one another as rivals in the media — and Madonna, Mother of Reinvention and Motha of Controversy, was going to share the stage with them. Once rehearsal footage revealed Her Madgesty would also be kissing both of the erstwhile Mouseketeers, the MTV folks literally high-fived. However, on the night of the show, the decision to cut away from Aguilera’s kiss with Madonna, which immediately followed Spears’ smooch, was made on the fly by associate director Stefani Cohen” so they could show Timberlake’s reaction instead. GROSS.
