Most memorable music star kisses

Britney Spears and Rihanna kiss
Opening performance of Rihanna and Britney's "S&M" at the 2011 Billboard Awards

We're not sure why this smooch didn't make it on camera seeing as how two of the biggest pop stars in the world caught kissing is a public relations bonanza. Maybe it was unexpected... could RiRi have just been showing genuine affection to her duet partner Britney, rather than this kiss being a calculated move?

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez kiss
2011 Billboard Awards after Justin Bieber's Best New Artist win

We can only imagine that Selena Gomez's security has been on high alert after her beau Justin Bieber smooched her after his win for Best New Artist. The kiss lasted about three seconds but we're sure that's enough to spark the fury of the Bieber Nation.

Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley kiss
Opening the show at the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards

MJ and Lisa Marie's kiss at the '94 MTV VMAs was meant as Exhibit A in the public courtroom that held the validity of their marriage on trial. Unfortunately, the evidence was underwhelming.


Britney Spears and Madonna kiss

During a performance of "Like A Virgin" at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards

Little known fact: Apparently Christina Aguilera was part of this performance too! Not that you'd have noticed her since media mention of the incident saw the starlet eclipsed by the awesome power of Madge and Brit.


Adam Lambert and keyboardist Tommy Joe Ratliff kiss
During a performance of "For Your Entertainment" at the 2009 American Music Awards

While girl-on-girl kissing has been exploited to the max in the media, apparently the world isn't ready to see a male pop star kissing someone of the same sex. Lambert had to go on the defensive after this kiss made headlines.

Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee kiss

Is it just us or, after the infamous "tape," doesn't this kiss seem kind of tame?

Scarlett Johansson and Sandra Bullock kiss
2010 MTV Movie Awards in front of on stage voyeurs Betty White and Bradley Cooper

Officially, Sandra Bullock was at the MTV Movie Awards to collect her Generation Award; unoffically, she added another notch to her belt by kissing actress and sometime musician Scarlett Johansson.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart kiss
2010 MTV Movie Awards after collecting the award for "Best Kiss"

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart squeeze on to our list for two reasons: one, Pattinson is a budding recording artist, who plays piano, guitar and writes his own music; and two, this kiss between him and girlfriend/"Twilight" co-star Kristen Stewart reeks of the kind of "our relationship is real... for real" play witnessed by Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley some 15 years earlier.
