Angry activists at a parents group have slammed Britney Spears and Rihanna for their sleazy on-stage performance at the recent Billboard Music Awards.
Spears, 29, who teamed up to duet on Rihanna's S&M track at the Vegas ceremony, was shown pole-dancing onstage in matching leather bodices with their hands clamped with handcuffs.

The duo also performed an onstage kiss.
The risqu ufffd performance was broadcast on a channel at primetime, infuriating officials at the Parents Television Council (Ptc), who has termed it as a "profanity-laced sex show", reported Femalefirst.
"The song title alone reeks of the adult entertainment industry. What happened in Vegas should have stayed in Vegas, as the saying goes.

It certainly has no place at 8pm on the publicly-owned broadcast airwaves," read a statement from Ptc President Tim Winter.
"The overtly sexualized performance by Rihanna and Britney Spears was no accident or mishap, but a deliberate effort to target teens with images and lyrics that glamorize whips, chains and other sexual fetishes," it added.
