Jennifer Lopez revealed she was originally asked to participate in the shocking 2003 MTV Video Music Awards performance with Madonna and Britney Spears.
During the iconic event, Britney Spears and Madonna performed “Like a Virgin” and “Hollywood” before locking lips on stage in front of thousands of viewers. The infamous kiss was later joined by Christina Aguilera instead.
“I was filming a movie in Canada, and we had met…me, her and Britney…to do it at her home, and then I just couldn’t get off the film…so, we couldn’t do it,” Lopez explained the event to E! News.
The topic was brought up during a press interview for “Shotgun Wedding,” where the 53-year-old will star alongside Josh Duhamel.
