I agree with you, Jill. It's not really MV style to start kissing someone in public. But are they talking about a peck on the cheek or more?
I can't find the article. Where did you see this?
Here:
Early September. My friend Melanie saw hottie Michael Vartan at Starbucks on Sunset Blvd. She almost fainted!. He wore gray cargo pants and blue shirt.
A girl was with him. My friend thought she was his gf : his hand in her shoulder, they kissed a couple of times… Mel didn’t dare to talk with him. She told me he is hot, shorter than she thought and nice. Mike’gf was cute, dark blonde and seemed nice too
