Michael Jackson was left embarrassed after he proudly accepted a non-existent award in front of millions of TV viewers.
Confusion arose when Britney Spears introduced the singer on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards in New York to present him with a cake to celebrate his 44th birthday.
Britney said that, for her, Jackson was the artist of the millennium.
But Jackson took her words to mean he was being honoured as the greatest singer of the past 1,000 years.
The star even gave an emotional acceptance speech to the celebrity-packed audience at Radio City Music Hall, which was broadcast live across the US.
"When I was a little boy growing up in Indiana if someone told me I'd be getting the Artist of the Millennium award, I'd never have believed it," he said.
He went on to thank God, his parents and the magician David Blaine.
MTV said today it was a all "a bit of a misunderstanding".
"There is no such award as the Artist of the Millennium. I think some wires got crossed," said a spokeswoman for the network.
To complete his embarrassment, Jackson was ridiculed by the show's host, American comedian Jimmy Fallon. "Michael Jackson looks great for 44," he said as the singer left the stage. "Between you and me, I think he's had some work done."

You have to laugh really...
I think the whole thing about him being "King of Pop" got a bit to his head.
In your next life, I hope you become a dolly cos' you look like one, dork. And remember, Billie Jean isn't a can, it's a baked bean can where he can put his face in.
Also, the Thriller album is okay, but if Jacko keeps making new faces, he should be in the doll house, erm, I mean, the Mental Instutution.
