Britney kiss angers Nicks

STEVIE Nicks rates the notorious Madonna-Britney kiss as the most obnoxious television moment ever.

"First of all, Madonna is too old to be kissing someone who is 22," the Fleetwood Mac singer told the Herald Sun.

"And Britney should be smarter than that. Hopefully, she will figure a way out of this hole she has dug for herself."

Original rock chick Nicks, 55, said Spears and Christina Aguilera should wear more clothes and try writing decent songs.

"I personally have never been to a strip club, but I turn on MTV and see in every single video what it must be like to be at a strip club," Nicks said.

"I think the mystery is gone, and if you have no mystery, then you aren't even sexy.

"Real sexuality and sensuality is in the music, and all these girls, vis-a-vis, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and on and on, should go back to writing songs and start over because it won't last and they won't last.

"When they are 55, they won't be around and that's sad because I think a lot of those girls are very talented. But they are signing their own death warrants."

Nicks was appalled by Madonna's publicity stunt kiss with Spears at the recent MTV Awards.

"I thought it was the most obnoxious moment in television history," she said.

"Madonna will be fine. Madonna is Madonna. She does what she wants. She will get over this. But will Britney get over it? I don't know."

Nicks revealed Madonna asked Jennifer Lopez to be in the smoochy routine, but J.Lo told Madge to kiss something else.

Nicks is the ultimate rock survivor, weathering drug addictions, depression and a tumultuous relationship with Lindsey Buckingham.

You used to date her? I'll defer to your tagline: (Have you had your medications adjusted lately?)

"No, the most obnoxious moment was the Al-Tipper kiss."

LOL -- I second your motion. I still gag at that video...

[F16Fighter]

"She [Stevie Nicks] is sorta sultry,isn't she?

Well yes -- in a cheesecloth photoshot-high mileage--pretend-it's-1978-again kinda-way ;-)

"Madonna will be fine. Madonna is Madonna. She does what she wants. She will get over this. But will Britney get over it? I don't know."

Oh Puh Leeze. Naive little Britney is no different than Madonna - a cold, calculating media whore. She got over it before she did it on stage.

"Oooh, really, we didn't plan it, it was spontaneous, it just happened." If you believe that, I have a portfolio of bridges and skyscrapers to sell you. Cheap. Are people really that stupid?

[exnavy]

desparate or depraved?

[Arkinsaw]

bite me...class enuf ?

Yes, as classy as I expected it to be.

[mel]

I suppose both terms could describe her

I remember the look on our beloved 'W''s face when Gore walked out with all that makeup- he did a double-take that was hilarious- I am surprised he held his composure.

I remember the press had just finished talking about a big deal was made on how they insisted on their own make-up persons - then there was deafening silence when Gore walked out...

Any time someone holds their chin, it's so support the other three chins from falling down.

Saw Fleetwood Mac on Sunday night. Too bad they didn't play more songs from their current album, especially Stevie's stuff. Lindsay played his arms off - not too many 20-something axemen could have showed his stamina. All and all a very good show, although the folks at the Wachovia Center should be horsewhipped for the way they pack seats onto the floor - when you pay $125 for a seat, you don't expect to get the sardine treatment.

[NYC Republican]

OK, that takes the cake, but this ranks in the top 10, no?

[dmz]

Respectfully, Christie McVie (IMO) sings in a Ringo Starr-like monotone.

[dirtboy]

I understand she has lost the weight.

She looked just a bit heavy on Sunday night - but nowhere near as thin as she looked in the recent album art. She still looked pretty good though, and the band did a 2 1/2 hour set...
