My 'ironic' Britney kiss
13 April 2012
Madonna claims she cannot understand why her open-mouthed kiss with Britney Spears has caused such a stir.
The singer said the snog at an awards ceremony last month was just for fun and an 'ironic comment on a bride and groom kissing'.
She told Oprah Winfrey on her chat show: 'I don't know why people are making such a big deal about it.
Hasn't anyone seen two girls kiss before? It was a friendly kiss - it really was.
If Britney looks as though she is kissing me in an aggressive way it was a surprise to me.'
The Material Girl added: 'I'm a showgirl. After 20 years in the business, we learn to roll with the punches. If someone comes to you with lips parted you have to kiss them.'
