Sandra Bullock, Faux Lesbianism and Enough with the Girl-on-Girl Making Out Already!
Meant to post this yesterday, but we couldn’t help but get worked up during the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, when Sandra Bullock—in her first major appearance since her very public, very dramatic breakup from Jesse James—decided that the best comeback strategy would be to, um, french kiss Scarlett Johanson on stage. Was it hot? Sure, if you get off on the staged faux lesbian script. But, as Jess writes in Newsweek, isn’t the whole girl-on-girl ploy just a little, well, tired?
We’ve been fawning over straight chicks kissing since Neve Campbell and Denise Richards got it on in Wild Things, in 1998. We’ve gone on to see the gals go three-way with Christina and Britney and Madonna, on MTV in 2003, and we’ve spent the last two weeks obsessing about former good girl Miley Cyrus’s lip lock with a female backup dancer. We’ve got Lindsay and Katy Perry and Kristen and Dakota, kissing, groping, singing about it all. Hot? Sure, if you get off on the awkward faux-lesbian script. But isn’t the whole thing just a tad played out?
So come on, MTV. Next time you wanna be “shocking,” try hooking up Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg—cause the girl-on-girl kiss is just tired and cliche.
