Jennifer Lopez says she just missed being part of an iconic awards show moment .

The Hustlers star told E! News in a recent interview that she was originally slated for one of the onstage kisses Madonna shared with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards .

I was filming a movie in Canada, and we had met me, [Madonna] and Britney to do it at her home, and then I just couldnt get off the film, Lopez told the celebrity news outlet. So, we couldnt do it. They got Christina Aguilera, I think, to do it, and I didnt wind up doing it.

Lopez didnt name the film she was working on, but her 2004 movies Jersey Girl and Shall We Dance were filming in Canada around that time .

At New York Citys Radio City Music Hall, meanwhile, a different kind of performance took center stage on Aug. 28, 2003.

Spears and Aguilera first took the stage to perform Madonnas Like a Virgin, and then the Queen of Pop joined them for her song Hollywood. Before Missy Elliott came out to perform Work It, the trio took a beat for Madonna to kiss Spears and then Aguilera.

Shock value gets more and more extreme or whatever, Aguilera reportedly told Apple Musics Zane Lowe in 2020 . But honestly, at the time, yeah, I never thought anything of it. It was like, OK, its two girls kissing. It wasnt shocking back then. Its not shocking now, to me.
