The latest season of American Horror Story is coming back with a bang as show stars Emma Roberts and Kim Kardashian kiss in Delicate<\/p>\n

There have been plenty of memorable screen smooches like Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis in Black Swan to Denise Richards and Neve Campell in Wild Things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And who could forget real-life kisses that caused a stir like\u00a0<\/span>Britney Spears and Madonna at the MTV Video Music Awards that went around the world to Sandra Bullock shocking Scarlett Johansson with a smooch while accepting an award.<\/span><\/p>\n

MailOnline brings you the most memorable on-screen female kisses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Anna Friel and Nicola Stephenson made TV history when their kiss on Brookside became the first lesbian kiss to be broadcast before the 9pm watershed on Channel 4 when it aired in 1994<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Anna Friel and Nicola Stephenson made TV history when their kiss on Brookside became the first lesbian kiss to be broadcast before the 9pm watershed on Channel 4 when it aired in 1994.<\/p>\n

The kiss made national headlines when it first aired 30 years ago and is still remembered this day as an important soap moment.<\/p>\n

In the memorable scene, Beth, played by Anna, tells her friend Margaret, played by Nicola, that she has romantic feelings for her.<\/p>\n

\u2018I fancy you the same way I fancied Peter Harrison. I want to kiss you the way I kissed him,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

Beth worried she has damaged the friendship by revealing her true feelings but Nicola returned her affections and they kissed.<\/p>\n

Nicola, who left the show later that year, previously told the Liverpool Echo she finds it \u2018amazing\u2019 people still remember her character.<\/p>\n

She said: \u2018To us, the kiss felt quite tame and just a small part of a wider storyline but we knew that it was actually quite a big deal. It felt a real privilege and I felt very lucky to have such a big storyline and one that I felt very passionately about.<\/p>\n

\u2018I still have middle-aged women say to me that the storyline helped them come to terms with their own sexuality or help them come out to members of their family. It amazes me and I\u2019m so proud every time someone mentions it.\u2019<\/p>\n

One of the most memorable lesbian kisses in film history undoubtedly goes to Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair in the 1999 teen drama Cruel Intentions<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

One of the most memorable lesbian kisses in film history undoubtedly goes to Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair in the 1999 teen drama Cruel Intentions.<\/p>\n

In the flick, Sarah plays a cold-hearted high scool student named Kathryn who is determined to destroy the reputation of the innocent Cecile, played by Selma.<\/p>\n

In one scene, Kathryn takes it upon herself to teach Cecile how to kiss while they\u2019re sitting together in Central Park.\u00a0The pair are then seen engaged in a prolonged, intimate kiss with a saliva trail.<\/p>\n

The scene is now regarded as one of the most memorable moments from the film and it won Sarah and Selma the Best Kiss gong at the MTV Movie Awards in 2000.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the scene\u2019s impact, Selma believes it had lasting impact because it helped young gay people to accept their sexuality.<\/p>\n

She said:\u00a0\u2018I think the reason the kiss has resonated with people so long is not just for the initial shock value but because it was a catalyst for so many young people to help them realise certain aspects of their sexuality and help make people comfortable to be who they really are.\u2019<\/p>\n

The film follows two high school students who accuse a guidance counselor of rape and the subsequent revelations after a police officer investigates the case.<\/p>\n

In one scene, Denise\u2019s Kelly and Neve\u2019s Suzie have a tense late night argument by a pool with Kelly repeatedly slapping Suzie and shoving her head under the water.<\/p>\n

But their fury soon turned to lust as they shared a passionate kiss.<\/p>\n

Denise later told The Guardian she was \u2018terrified\u2019 to film the scene as it was \u2018the first time\u2019 she had shot \u2018anything like that\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m sure people must think that behind the scenes it\u2019s very exciting, but it\u2019s not. But I\u2019m glad it comes off that sexy in the movie,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

Among them is Dawn, portrayed by Alanis, who plays a game of spin the bottle with Carrie at a party.<\/p>\n

When the bottle lands on Carrie, she tells the group to spin again because she\u2019s a girl but Dawn gives her a kiss anyway.<\/p>\n

Alanis later admitted she didn\u2019t enjoy the kiss much because Sarah had to act \u2018reluctant\u2019 during the scene.<\/p>\n

\u2018I kissed Sarah Jessica Parker,\u2019 she said.\u00a0\u2018I played a lesbian in Sex And The City and I had to kiss her. I have experimented with same-sex relationships in my life, but it wasn\u2019t about enjoyment with<\/p>\n

\u2018Her character was supposed to be reluctant about getting involved, so it wasn\u2019t a passionate kiss \u2013 it was a reticent one, which is the reason I didn\u2019t enjoy it.\u2019<\/p>\n

In her memoir The Woman In Me, Britney said the women rehearsed it as an air kiss but she got the idea to make it the real thing right before the performance.<\/p>\n

\u2018A lot was made of that kiss,\u2019 she wrote. \u2018Oprah asked Madonna about it. The kiss was treated as a huge cultural moment\u2014\u2019Britney kissing Madonna!\u2019\u2014and it got us both a lot of attention.\u2019<\/p>\n

Amanda herself later told InStyle:\u00a0\u2018It was my first time doing a real kissing scene with a woman. It is just weird. It is a woman. With a woman\u2019s smell \u2013 soft and floraly \u2013 and maybe the pheromones are different.<\/p>\n

\u2018Something about it felt uncomfortable for me.\u2019<\/p>\n

In order for Scarlett to not feel left out, Sandra kissed her while they were on stage and judging by Scarlett\u2019s surprised reaction, the moment was not planned.<\/p>\n

The smooch proved lesbian kisses still had the power to shock audiences, particularly given the unexpected nature of it.<\/p>\n

The two exes are forced together in Litchfield Penitentiary when they are thrown behind bars for a crime they both committed.\u00a0At each other\u2019s throats at first, the pair\u2019s romance is rekindled.<\/p>\n

Laura previously spoke to AfterEllen about the characters\u2019 relationship: \u2018I mean, honestly, the main thing I learned was whether it\u2019s a man or a woman, if there\u2019s chemistry, there\u2019s chemistry.<\/p>\n

\u2018Taylor and I have amazing chemistry and it\u2019s really awful when you work with an actor when you don\u2019t have chemistry. We\u2019ve all been through that.<\/p>\n

\u2018As an actor, it\u2019s \u2018Oh god, the chemistry\u2019s not there\u2019 and you have to do everything to put it there but sometimes it\u2019s naturally there and it just works and it\u2019s awesome. And that\u2019s how me and Taylor were.\u2019<\/p>\n

The two women develop an intense bond and eventually become lovers.<\/p>\n

Kate previously told how she took charge during the film\u2019s sex scenes, saying: \u2018I\u2019ve definitely had more experience and played LGBTQ characters in the past.\u00a0It just made sense. Women know what women want, let\u2019s not beat about the bush.<\/p>\n

\u2018Saoirse and I knew we could unite in our feelings about these characters and where they\u2019re at, and to tell that story physically. It was a very joyful experience.\u2019<\/p>\n

Unlike some of the other kisses on this list which appeared to be designed to shock or titillate audiences, Ammonite was a romantic love story that charted the relationship of the main female characters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
