With the news already blared about Beyoncé's baby bump and other happenings from Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards (which MTV says drew its highest ratings ever - 12.4 million viewers), we are left with the deeper details of these developments. Such as, yes, Lady Gaga's bizarro, gender-bending alter he-go, Jo Calderone, presented Britney Spears with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award (on the vanguard of what, exactly - personal life tumult?) and almost kissed the awardee. But did ya know, as Fox411's Pop Tarts reports, that Gaga was so true to her character that she used the men's room that day? Did ya? The near-kiss between Spears and Gaga-in-drag - bringing back gauzy memories of the 2003 VMAs when Spears and Madonna locked lips - also was a hot post-VMA topic. Spears said of the Gaga encounter, "We got onstage and felt it out." Spears had told the crowd she was resisting kissing Calderone so she wouldn't upset Gaga. So to sum it all up, that's Spears and Madonna, yes; Spears and Gaga, no; and Spears and Calderone - oh, just forget about it.
