Selena Gomez is kissing and telling!

No, not about her maybe-boyfriend Nick Jonas.

In her latest flick, Another Cinderella Story (out Sept. 16), she locks lips with her costar, Drew Seeley (above). Gomez plays a girl who falls for a popular singer (Seeley) enrolled at their school, Beverly Hills High.

It took about 10 takes to get the kiss right...

"You know, for me, it was a job, and for him as well, too," Gomez, 16, tells me. "But I'm not complaining. He's not bad to look at."

She did pull some prankin' on Seeley just before the smackaroos. "He hates pickles and I love pickles, so I'd eat some pickles," she says with a laugh.

This isn't Gomez's onscreen smooching debut. Kissing costars started when she was just 12 years old. "It was on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, and I got to kiss one of the twins," says Gomez, who will be celebrating her new movie on Sunday with a screening at the Grove mall in L.A. "And then on my show [Wizards of Waverly Place], my character has kissed maybe four or five guys. So this wasn't my first."
