So let's celebrate!

No, no, no. Not that kind of Kiss day.

That's better, but apparently, July 6 is
International Kiss Day.

That's right. Today is
National Kiss Day. So let's look at some Jake Gyllenhaal kisses and commentary, mostly made in the USA:
This woman knows how to take advantage of a situation!
She's always been very tongue-in-cheek has Gemma Arterton.
So there was a surprise in store for co-star Jake Gyllenhaal as they filmed their love scene for new flick Prince of Persia.
The Kent girl, 23, told us: "There's an unspoken no-tongues rule on set. But I got so carried away it kind of slipped out. Everyone said I was lucky to be snogging him, but he's the lucky one."Honestly, can you blame her?

Gemma joins
Emmy Rossum in the line of very smart woman who've seized the day - and the Gyllenmouth.
"I went over to him and said, 'Look, I know it's 9 a.m., but is it OK if I kiss you?' " Rossum recalls. When he consented ("He said, 'It's never too early!' "), she obliged. "I knew if I didn't do it, it would seem like I was scared. And I wanted to kiss him. He's very, very cute."

A history of Jakes movie kisses proves at least one thing...












... Jake kisses shouldn't be filmed in the dark.
