Did Beyoncé-Honoring Soul Train Make a Single Lady of Braxton?

Bootylicious One scores leading three awards; Jackson posthumously named Entertainer of the Year; Braxton's onstage kiss signals the end of her marriage

Warning: Performing at the 2009 Soul Train Awards can be hazardous to your marriage.

It takes a lot to upstage both Beyoncé and the ghost of Michael Jackson, but Toni Braxton managed to do just that, when her show-opening performance of "Yesterday" ended with her tongue squarely in the throat of duet partner Trey Songz.

The sealed-with-a-kiss performance sent a ripple of shock through the audience, not least of all because Braxton's hubby of eight years, Keri Lewis, had a front-row seat for the makeshift game of tonsil hockey. Within days (the awards taped on Nov. 3), the duo was dunzo.

Braxton wasted no time in denying that the smooch contributed to the disintegration of her marriage, telling Wendy Williams afterward that it was part of the choreography and that she had warned Lewis beforehand.

You can judge for yourself when the ceremony finally airs Sunday on BET. As for the actual winners...
