Christina Aguilera demanded MTV re-edit ‘03 VMA’s to include Madonna smooch: former exec
nypost.comMadonna kissed Britney Spears — and then Christina Aguilera — on stage at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.However, it has often been forgotten that when the Queen of Pop, 65, turned from Spears to kiss the “Dirrty” singer, 42, during the drama-packed event, the camera quickly cut away to show Justin Timberlake’s reaction to his ex’s sapphic smooch.Now, in a new interview with Rolling Stone, former network president Van Toffler revealed that Aguilera and her team was furious over the split-second decision — and that they lobbied MTV hard to get the soon-to-be-legendary lip lock edited back into the show for future airings. “[She] caused a little bit of grief coming my way … It didn’t make life easier that night, but you have to make choices in a live show,” Toffler recalled.The executive went on: “Sometimes you’re wrong and sometimes you’re right, but I think the beauty of the VMAs was the combustibility.
