Dane Cook's Love Scene Secrets: Minty Freshness, Strategic Groping

Dane Cook is finally playing nice these days on behalf of his Mr. Fix-It remake new film My Best Friend's Girl, getting through an entire interview recently without once mentioning his mildly vagina-like face or those other movie-poster mishaps that so traumatized him last month. In their place, readers are treated to hints about Cook's sweeter, sensitive side — the leading man in him who prepares for onscreen interludes with a grueling two-month training routine for his mouth and hands:

To prepare for steamy kissing scenes with bombshell leading ladies such as Hudson, [Jessica] Alba and [Jessica] Simpson, Cook says he's developed a tradition. Before production begins, he nonchalantly asks his co-stars what's their favorite flavor of gum or mint. Hudson's pick? Lifesavers Pep-o-Mint. Stormy breath aside, such scenes still make Cook giddy.

"You tend to go back to how you felt when you were in high school," says Cook. "Even though you're professional actors, you come to those scenes wondering things like: Are you going to be mad if I kiss you? Do I put my hands on the small of your back or can I go lower? Is that too low? Can you draw a map of where I can touch you?"

If such a map exists for any or all of the above-mentioned starlets, we would love to see it — particularly Simpson's, a stick figure with specifically delineated "Romo-Zones" below the waist and a contractually obligated 25-foot proximity to Joe Simpson at all times. A girl can never be too careful
