Lil’ Kim Relives Her VMA Boob Lift: Watch!

The VMAs have given us so many iconic moments over the years, from the Britney-Madonna-Christina triple-kiss to Beyoncé's baby bump reveal and Kanye West's Taylor Swift stage crash. Memories are made at MTV's signature awards show and Sunday night's 2013 MTV Video Music Awards is sure to live up to the broadcast's storied history.

Before the big show, though, we thought we'd take a trip down mammary lane with Lil' Kim, who will be right at home on Sunday when the show airs live from Brooklyn's Barclays Center at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

No trip to BK is legit unless you visit with Queen Bee, and no VMA look-back is complete without remembering one of the most talked-about incidents in VMA lore.

"Oh my gosh, I already know! You gotta be talking about Diana Ross, right?" said Kim when MTV's Sway caught up with her recently in her hood to talk about the infamous run-in with the music legend.

"I think I was more of like a friendly, 'Oh my god, you look sexy girl, but do you know you have a boob hanging out?'" Kim said of the lift seen-round-the-world. "By the way, if I ever did a movie of my life I would get her to play my mom."

In case you missed it, or forgot, Ross was co-presenting the Best Hip-Hop Video award with Kim at the 1999 show. Kim, wearing a purple wig and matching pantsuit that left one of her breasts exposed, covered just by a shell-shaped pasty, was surprised when Ross placed her hand under the breast ...

Will Selena Gomez Have The Next Britney VMA Kiss?

It's been a decade since Britney Spears, Madonna and Christina Aguilera shared that famous kiss during the VMAs back in 2003. And that moment hasn't lost any of its awe-inspiring luster in the years since. In fact, a new crop of pop princesses, including VMA-nominated Selena Gomez, are still dazzled by that unforgettable moment.

"Yes! That's amazing! I think I was 11. I was exactly 11 years old," she recalled about seeing the performance, which included Britney and Xtina dressed up as brides, joined by Madge done up like a groom, and all three singing Madonna's 1984 hit "Like a Virgin" before transitioning into "Hollywood." Post-kiss, they were also joined by Missy Elliott.

Of course, it wasn't the medley that had everyone buzzing that year — and all these years later — but the fact that Brit, Christina and Madonna kissed right there on live TV from Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

Britney-phile Gomez added, "I am obsessed with Britney. I loved everything about it. I was obsessed. I was into it."

So, if Gomez got the call to put on a similar performance with Spears, would she take her up on the offer? "Um, yes! I'm just gonna be real ... yes!" she responded.

Katy Perry Gonna Knock You Out With Her VMA Brass Knuckles

Roar if you're ready for the VMAs!

Katy Perry is on her way to the 2013 Video Music Awards, ready to close Sunday night's show after performers like Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke have graced the stage. And of course, she has to do it in style.

The Prism singer revealed her blinged-out microphone for her VMA performance on Instagram Friday (August 23) night. It's all-gold — much like her giant metallic semi — and brass-knuckled, with bold, cherry-red letters spelling out "ROAR" on each ring. Here's to hoping Perry won't knock anyone out!

Bedazzled mics aren't new to Katy. Remember her shiny rainbow mic or her American flag jewels on her Obama rally mic?

Fans, who recently unlocked lyrics to two Katy songs, gushed over the prop, with one fan tweeting, "I dare you to punch me with that new mic yew got."

"This sounds like a set up," Katy responded.

"@katyperry THAT IS THE MOST DOPE MIC EVA. #ROAR baby ROAR! #NOSLEEPTILLBROOKLYN," kirstenstucki said.
