VMAs Sealed With A Kiss
Virginia Heffernan of Slate reviewed the MTV Video Music Awards and spoke about the “orgy of duets” and of course the Madonna kiss with Britney Spears. “Madonna had come as the man—the sugar daddy, maybe, twirling the little girls, keeping them in line, and finally kissing Spears,” Heffernan said. “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) praying 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.” Read more.
