Madonna Snogs Britney and Christina

Madonna stole the show at the 20th MTV Video Music Awards by giving open-mouthed kisses on stage to Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Coldplay and Radiohead were among the winners at the ceremony - Coldplay took the Breakthrough Video, Direction and Group Video awards for The Scientist, and Radiohead won the Art Direction accolade for There, There.

There were no big winners - Missy Elliott's Work It won two awards, including Video Of The Year, while Justin Timberlake, Coldplay and Beyonce had three apiece. Country legend Johnny Cash, 71, nominated seven times for Hurt, won once.

Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera gave a gyrating tribute of Madonna's Like a Virgin to open the show, dressed in the same kind of white bustier wedding dress Madonna wore while performing the song during MTV's inaugural awards broadcast in 1984. Madonna also sang her new "Hollywood" in a masculine all-black outfit.

Other performances included 50 Cent's pimp-a-licous performance of P.I.M.P. during which he was joined on stage by Snoop Dogg, the ubiquitous former pimp Bishop Don Magic Juan, members of his G-Unit posse - and a bevy of half-naked women.

Beyonce's sexy video Crazy In Love, featuring her boyfriend Jay-Z, won three awards. She gave a showstopping performance with dozens of dancers, garnering a standing ovation from the crowd.

Nominated for seven awards was Justin Timberlake's Cry Me A River video, which takes a not-so-subtle dig at ex-girlfriend Britney, the video features Justin exacting revenge on a cheating Spears lookalike. Justin won best pop video for Cry Me A River, and best male video, beating Cash. "This is a travesty! I demand a recount," he said, before paying tribute to Cash.
