First there was Madonna and Britney Spears, then there was Kate Moss and Jemima Khan  now Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock are the latest female celebrities to lock lips in public.

    The pair, feted as two of Hollywood’s best known comic stars, were both named Best Actress at Friday night’s Critics’ Choice Movie Awards — Streep for her role as Julia Child in Julie and Julia, and Bullock for The Blind Side, to be released in the UK in March.

    Each was given the chance to make an acceptance speech, but it was the moment in-between that had everyone talking, after they staged a mock rivalry. As Bullock took to the podium after Streep’s speech, she yelled: ‘This is bull***!’

    The glamorous stars then proceeded to face up to one another in mock anger, before sharing a kiss on the lips. Afterwards, the Miss Congeniality actress, 45, told the audience: ‘Meryl’s a great kisser.’

    On a more serious note, she added: ‘This is an honour. It is a great honour to be in the company of the extraordinary women I was so lucky to be nominated with, because this one here inspired me to do everything better.’
