WILL SMITH - BLUSHING OPRAH HIT BY WILL SMITH SMOOCH

WILL SMITH brought a blush to OPRAH WINFREY's cheeks on her daytime talk show yesterday (07FEB05) when he insisted on passionately kissing the media diva.

The actor cut HITCH co-star EVA MENDES short, while she was telling Winfrey what it's like to kiss Smith on camera, and reminded the host that he had never kissed her.

Both leaned in for a smooch, but a red-faced Oprah pulled back at the last minute, before agreeing to go ahead.

After pulling away from the touching TV moment a blushing Oprah looked into the camera and said, "Thank you Jada," referring to Smith's wife JADA PINKETT-SMITH.
