Seems like everyone is kissing everyone these days. Locking lips, which was once an intimate display of affection, is now a common practice. Luckily there have been kisses in recent years that stuck out in our minds as significant.

Check out whose lip locks were the hottest:

Toni Braxton & Trey Songz

No one could have been more shocked than Braxton’s (then) husband when she made out with the young crooner at the 2009 Soul Train Awards. Soon after, she announced that she and husband, Keri Lewis, had separated after eight years of marriage.

Halle Berry & Adrien Brody

There’s no better way to celebrate winning Best Actor at the Oscars (2003) than putting a big wet one on Halle Berry. Brody must have realized how caught off Berry was by saying after their six second smooch, “I bet they didn’t tell you that was in the gift bag.”

Simon Cowell & ‘Idol’ contestant, Lakisha Jones

Apparently a kiss is not enough to save your spot on “American Idol.” Jones put one on Cowell following her performance. While she didn’t win top spot, she won a place in Cowell’s heart (if he has one). Love you, Simon Cowell!

Britney Spears, Madonna & Christina Aguilera

In 2003, the two pop princesses squashed rumors that they hated each other by literally kissing and making up, via pop queen Madonna. Their three-way kiss was one of the most memorable MTV Video Music Award moments.

Sandra Bullock & Scarlett Johannson

After a couple of rough months dealing with her cheating gross ex-husband, Jesse James, Bullock needed to let off some steam and show she had moved on. No better way to show her carefree state of mind than making out with Scarlett Johannson while accepting her 2010 MTV Movie Award… right?

Jay-Z & Beyonce

Although the couple chooses to be private about the intimate details of their marriage, it’s obvious that they adore one another. There’s nothing sweeter than watching the two lovingly stare into each other’s eyes and sharing a soft kiss.

Miley Cyrus & backup dancer

Cyrus’ transition from little girl to young lady has been a hard concept for people to follow. This once sweet, kid-friendly “Hannah Montana” mimicked the famous Spears and Madonna smooch by pretending to kiss a female dancer.

Barack & Michelle Obama

The best aspect of the beautiful couple’s relationship is that nothing about them is contrived. Although we’ve never seen Barack lay it on thick to Michelle, his sweet simple kisses on her forehead, hand or cheek, show his deep affection for her.
