Too bad VH1 can't broadcast the backstage scenes from its Big in '03 awards, which aired Sunday. In one corner, Kill Bill star Vivica A. Fox was getting her groove on with Jennifer Lopez's ex, Cris Judd. In another, Will Smith was tooling about on a Segway Human Transporter.
The best moment may have been when former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss was mugging for photographers with comedian Andy Dick, who had his own tussle with the law over drugging and driving in 1999. Just then, Girls Gone Wild man Joe Francis happened by. Fleiss beckoned, "C'mon Joe, join the convicted felon photo!" Francis said, "I ain't convicted ... yet!"
Francis is facing 22 criminal charges in Florida, including racketeering, over his controversial video series.
