MTV Strikes a Pose: The “Madonnathon” set for this weekend on MTV will be missing Madonna’s latest video. MTV decided not to air the video of “Justify My Love,” a single from Madonna’s greatest hits package, “Immaculate Collection.” The video shows explicit scenes of Madonna in bed with her latest beau, Tony Ward. Fantasy sequences depict what is going through the minds of the lovers. A spokeswoman for Madonna said Tuesday that the singer has a good relationship with MTV and does not hold a grudge against the cable network. An MTV spokeswoman agreed: “We love Madonna and have a great relationship with her. But this video wasn’t acceptable for airing.”
