Maybe you heard about a little smooch between two of the hottest blonde divas of all time? Perhaps you caught wind of a prank that brought very real tears to the eyes of a humiliated ex-mouseketeer? 2003 was a year in which MTV audiences witnessed some of the biggest names in pop culture being glamorous, controversial, crazy and, at times, kind of ditzy. Here are MTV's top moments of 2003.

Punk'd Premiere: Justin Timberlake Cries a River
On the premiere of Ashton Kutcher's reality show with a straight razor's edge, Ashton and his cohorts decided to have a little fun with JT by fooling the *NSYNCer into believing that he owed a considerable sum of money to the federal government, and that they were there to repossess all of Justin's valuable personal belongings like his house, car, dog and even an acoustic guitar. It was television magic in motion that celebrated both the twisted pleasures of Ashton Kutcher and the hopeless naivete of the former Mouseketeer.

Jessica Simpson Gets Confused by Tuna
If anybody can make married life interesting, it's Jessica Simpson, along with her new hubby Nick Lachey. In what has now become the most infamous moment of the show, Jessica isn't quite able to wrap her young nubile mind around a can of tuna fish. The can, which proclaimed tuna as "the chicken of the sea," confused her. Tuna: chicken or fish? After a moment of stunned disbelief, her helpful hubby eased her troubled mind by explaining that tuna fish is fish--fish being the key word there.

Britney and Madonna's VMA Kiss
The opening smooch of the 2003 Video Music Awards sent shockwaves through the cathode ray tubes of anyone with their television sets turned on. A cross-generational, superstar lip-lock on live TV went a seriously long way for the superstar divas. Madonna, clad in her uniquely masculine latex tuxedo, embraced Britney and Christina--2 innocent girls donned in their own white wedding dresses--and passionately kissed them. Theirs weren't the only open mouths in the house.

Gollum's Best Virtual Performance Acceptance Speech
In a fit of CGI-induced mania, Frodo's traveling buddy from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers lost his mind during his acceptance speech at the MTV Movie Awards on May 31. After beating out stiff competition from Kangaroo Jack, Yoda and Scooby-Doo, the slithery virtual Gollum won the award for Best Virtual Performance. In an apparent battle with his alter ego Smeagol, Gollum delivered an expletive-riddled diatribe against his co-stars, MTV and his poor, poor competitors. Virtual golden popcorn, it seems, has as much psychotic power as that damn ring.
