A spy on the set of the much-hyped Madonna-Britney Spears video, "Me Against the Music," says reports of the Material Matron's mellowing are highly exaggerated.

I'm told that when her costume wasn't fitting properly, the 45-year-old children's-book author and mother of two delivered a bracing tongue-lashing to Paul Hunter, the hot auteur of "Moulin Rouge's" hit "Lady Marmalade" video and the Gap commercial featuring Madonna and Missy Elliott.

"In the beginning, it was tough because Madonna was upset about her outfit. She got upset with Paul," said the informant at the Silvercup Studios in Queens, where the three-day shoot was staged last week.

The video - the first single off Britney's upcoming album, "In the Zone" - won't satisfy audiences hoping for a repeat of the open-mouthed girl-on-girl action that won Madonna and Britney the Best Publicity Magnet prize at the MTV Video Music Awards.

"It was very, very sensual," says the spy, "but I didn't see any kissing."

Nor was Britney kissing Columbus Short, the married dancer she's been linked to in recent weeks. Could their relationship be platonic? "They definitely get along really well, but they don't seem like they are together."

Liz Rosenberg, Madonna's rep, confirmed that Madge and Brit will disappoint fantasy-mongers. "Madonna did that already, didn't she? She doesn't like to repeat herself," Rosenberg said. As for the hissy fit: "I didn't see that happening. If her clothes didn't fit, she wouldn't be talking to the director anyway. She'd be talking to the stylist."
