Erykah Badu tried to kiss PIX 11 news anchor Mario Diaz during a live broadcast while he was reporting on Shia LeBeouf's arrest when Badu appeared behind him and started making faces to the camera. Diaz pushed her back as she approached and continued with the report without hesitation. "Good recovery there," one of his colleagues said.

When asked about the incident on Twitter, Badu initially denied that it was her, but eventually she confessed and apologized to Diaz, who took it in jest. He mentioned that his wife and two-year-old son were on the scene, which explains why he had to turn Badu down. Or maybe the real reason was that he didn't want the wardrobe makeover that could happen overnight. In any event, this gives a whole new meaning to "Kiss Me On My Neck."
