This is an interview with Britney Spears right after the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, where she and Madonna Kissed during a performance.

Gideon Yago: So who slipped who the tongue?

Britney Spears: Oh my gosh. No one slipped anyone the tongue. It was just a kiss, a nice kiss.

Yago: You kiss your grandfather like that?

Spears: (Shrieking) WHAT! No, it was just a kiss, and that's it, there was no tongue!

Yago: Was that the first time you've ever kissed a woman?

Spears: Yes! Oh my gosh.

Yago: How did that whole thing come about? Was that her idea or was that your idea?

Spears: Well, in rehearsal she would play around a little bit. And she said when we actually do it, let's just feel it out here 'cause there was no choreography in that part. So we just felt it out.

Yago: How did it feel?

Spears: Cool, yeah.

Yago: Growing up, were you always a big fan of Madonna?

Spears: Oh yes, oh yes, definitely. The whole moment was so surreal 'cause I've looked up to her and I sang "Like a Virgin" when I was 3 and 4, so being up there was a moment I will never, ever forget. It was a performance of a lifetime. Being in her presence was an honor.

Yago: Sometimes performances like that lead to collaborations in the studio. Are there any plans for you two to go run off into the studio?

Spears: We'll see, we'll see about that.

Yago: Really?

Spears: (Coyly) Yeah.

Yago: Why do you think that everybody fixates on that one kiss?

Spears: I think they just think that it's bizarre. I don't know.

Yago: On behalf of most of America, I just wanted to say thank you.

Spears: Well thank you!

Yago: So tell me about the "B" necklace.

Spears: The "B" necklace?!

Yago: The "B" necklace that's around your neck.

Spears: This is something that Madonna gave me and I was very very happy when she gave it to me. She has one that says "M" and I have this one, so, "B!"
