Shakira Fields Awkward Kiss From Phoenix Mayor
Monday, 03 May 2010 | by Pat's Picks

The Arizona Republic says there’s only one word to describe the Phoenix mayor’s attempt to plant a kiss on Shakira’s cheek late last week: awkward. The pop star was in town to voice her opposition to the state’s controversial new immigration law. When Mayor Phil Gordon leaned in to kiss her, Shakira “had the look of a 7-year-old being smooched by her Tia Lupe, the aunt whose kisses always left a mark.” In honor of the cumbersome canoodle, the paper recounts other acts of PDA that have made us cringe.
