The 69-year-old politician and the youthful pop star locked lips shortly after leading a Times Square crowd in a final-minute countdown to midnight. They made quite a pair: He was in an old-fashioned American-flag sweater; she had her eyes hidden behind a sparkly mask. When asked about the kiss Tuesday, Bloomberg said hed be remiss if he didnt say the best kiss of the night came after that, from girlfriend Diana Taylor.
