Madonna’s kiss with Britney Spears was too racy for Atlanta readers, reports 365gay.com. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ran a small picture of the kiss on the front page. The photo promoted a larger inside picture and story. Managing editor Hank Klibanoff apologized in last Monday’s edition, saying the picture should not have appeared on the front.
Britney told CNN she had never kissed a woman and never would again—unless the woman is Madonna. ‘I didn’t know it was going to be that long and everything,’ said Spears. She said the singers had played around during rehearsal and Madonna had told her they would ‘just feel it out and see what happens’ during the performance.
