ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Do you remember the first movie you made out with somebody in?
GINA GERSHON: Cocktail.
Really?
Tom Cruise. Hello. My first kiss on-screen.
Which actor is the best kisser?
Hmm. That's a tough one. I'd say Lenny Kravitz.
The ''Again'' music video is really hot.
[Laughs] It's sexy. It's fun. He called me up literally: ''What are you doing tomorrow?'' I'm like, ''I don't know.'' He was like, ''Can you come to New York and do this thing?'' You know, you gotta support your friends.
Right. Come make out with me.
[Laughs] Yeah, that was a little weird. I was like, ''Yeah, we could do that.'' I have to say Jennifer [Tilly] is a pretty good kisser. She was a surprisingly good kisser.
Do you think there's a common thread in your filmography and if so, do you think there's a vibe or a theme?
I think the randomness is the only thing that's common. [in coffee shop, orders a latte] Don't you think? My filmography is so random.
Are you at Starbucks?
No, I'm against Starbucks, unless they want to sell my album, then I think they're the greatest. [Laughs] Isn't that terrible? I realized I can't say anything bad. They'd be like ''Oh no, look at this artist, she's against us.'' And I'd be like, ''Oh no, I never said that. The damn journalist, putting words in my mouth again.'' What was the question?
How do you choose your roles and is there a genre that you're just not interested in doing?
Well, you know I just kind of ask my trusty 8 ball, ''Should I do this part?'' Not really but that's what it feels like sometimes. You have no idea. It's like one day you're in the mood for something. I don't really have a plan for better or worse. It's like the tequila game, you just kind of drink whenever you want.
If you could erase an entry on your IMDB filmography, what would it be?
Uh, probably, Driven. I'd probably have to take that one off.
I didn't see that.
Oh, God. Actually, that's too hard to say. There's too many of those. It was a racing car movie. I take it back, that's my favorite. I don't know, I'd have to look at it. If you're looking at IMDB, which I certainly like to call Lie.com, half of those movies I haven't even done. I'll be like, What is this movie, I haven't even done it. You can't believe IMDB or Wikipedia for any real...I mean, they get everything wrong. They get where you were born wrong. When did we have five brothers and sisters? Sometimes you just say things in interviews, you know, you just get bored and just say whatever comes to your head. I used to change my age all of the time because I wanted to be older for a part. And that s--- comes and bites you in the ass later on. Honestly, there's like three or four movies on there that maybe we talked about doing it for a second, but I never actually did them. The Internet has been so great, but it's so dangerous. I mean, look, you're a journalist, I'm just saying, do me a favor: do go to those sources if they're not accurate. I have my coffee now and I'm so happy. All right, what else?
What's your porn name: that's your childhood pet's name + the street you grew up on.
Oh, no. I thought it was your mother's maiden name.
No, it's your pet's name. Did you have a pet?
Yeah. But that's such personal information. I don't think I can give that out at this time. I don't just like randomly give out my porn name that easily. I have to at least be taken out to dinner for that one.
