In 2006, Heath and Jake shared the MTV Best Kiss Award for their xtra-sexy performance in BBM (see below).  Unfortunately, Heath was not present to reenact the kiss with Jake at the awards show.

According to Heath's Mini Biography at IMDb:

"As the story goes, in junior high it was compulsory to do one of two electives, either cooking or drama, and as Heath could honestly not see himself in a cooking class, he tried his hand at drama."
