"Rivaling Justin Timberlake&amp;apos;s reunion with &amp;apos;N Sync at the VMAs on Sunday, Aug. 25? Some rather bootylicious performances courtesy of master rabble-rousers Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus.\r\n\r\nWhile the two button-pushing singers have considerably different styles and sounds, they seemed to be of one mind when it came to their MTV Video Music Award performances this year: Give the audience a memorable rear view.\r\n\r\nLady Gaga kicked off the show wearing an odd white getup -- including a square hood -- that covered up her body completely, but by the end of her performance, she had shed layers of costume to reveal a shell bikini top and a butt-baring thong. (Cue lots of subsequent cracks by pseudo host Kevin Hart, who couldn&amp;apos;t stop gushing about her lovely &amp;quot;yams.&amp;quot;)\r\n\r\nCyrus, meanwhile, made quite an impression joining Robin Thicke onstage for a performance of his hit song &amp;quot;Blurred Lines.&amp;quot; The singer stripped down to a shiny nude-colored bikini and bent over and twerked in front of Thicke, revealing a peek of underbutt.\r\nTell Us: Did you think their butt-baring performances crossed the line?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
