Drake and Madonna - The most recent PDA attempt was initiated by pop icon Madonna, who planted a wet one on Drake at Coachella. The 56-year-old strutted onto the stage, yanked Drizzy's head back and dove right in, tongue and all. The rapper's reaction of disgust that followed is what made the clip go viral. No disrespect, though. Drake claimed that he was all for the kiss; it was Madge's lipstick that left a bad taste in his mouth. Sure.(Photo: Christopher Polk/Getty Images for Coachella)
