Britney, Madonna to appear together ... sort of

The last time Madonna and Britney Spears shared a stage together, the pop stars locked lips at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards in a kiss that shocked and delighted their fans.

But now, “Access Hollywood” has learned the music powerhouses will once again share the stage in Madonna’s upcoming “Sticky & Sweet” world tour — though not exactly live.

Despite rumors that Spears would join Madonna onstage, she will join Madonna on her tour, but only through a taped video performance, “Access” has confirmed.

“Britney’s doing a video piece this week for Madonna’s new tour,” Spears’ manager, Larry Rudolph, told “Access.”

Spears is scheduled to be filmed for Madonna’s tour at some point this week, Madonna’s rep, Liz Rosenberg, confirmed to “Access.”

However, what exactly the video will be is a “secret,” Rosenberg added.

As for a surprise appearance by Spears on stage alongside Madonna, fans should not hold their breath, according the rep.

“I do not believe that Britney will be appearing live on the tour,” she added.

Madonna’s “Sticky & Sweet,” with Spears on video, kicks off Oct. 4 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
