Lip locking service - Britney, Christina and Madonna

 

Each year we've come to expect the unexpected at the MTV Video Music Awards and this years ceremony was no exception. The talk of the town at the moment was the opening ceremony at the awards show which saw 3 of todays hottest pop diva's exchange each other's saliva. The stars in question is teen queens Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and the modern day era's original 'bad girl' Madonna herself.

While doing the opening sequence, Madonna dressed in an all black outfit walks in the middle of Britney and Christina and leans into an open mouth lip lock with Brtiney and then turns to her left and proceeds to lay one on Christna (although not as passioniate as Britneys).

"I didn't know it was going to be that long and everything," said Spears. "I've never kissed a woman before," but when asked if she would "do it again," she burst out "No, I wouldn't do it," but then added, "Maybe with Madonna." All grown up now isn't she, certainly not the girl next door anymore.

P. Diddy sued 50 million for bodyguards action

 

As his record said with everyday life the more money you have, the more problems you have. That certainly seems to be the case with the latest case pending on the rap mogul. Puff Daddy aka P. Diddy aka Sean Combs was slapped with a 50 million dollar lawsuit last month for assault....by his bodyguard on two men who claims that they were beaten up by him for 'no apparent reason'.

Thomas Guest and Damon Jackson were attacked and apparently knocked unconscious by P. Diddy's bodyguards outside his house studios on New York's W. 44th street.

According to court documents, the men were trying to visit Combs when his security team 'confronted' Guest, threatened him and thereafter physically assaulted him, causing serious physical injuries and rendering him unconscious. Jackson filed a seperate suit as he claims he was assaulted while going to Guest's aid.

A Combs spokesperson called the suit "totally baseless" and said the "allegations are ridiculous.". More to come on this I'm sure
