Just days after Alexander Skarsgard and Kate Bosworth went public with their split, Kate was photographed with a “mystery man”. I think it was an attempt to be both coy and brazen – after all, Skarsgard had reportedly hooked up with at least one lady while at Comic-Con, before their split was even announced. Plus, the photo-op took place outside the Chateau Marmont – while the paparazzi were camped out there, waiting for Lady Gaga. So, The Bos had a “mystery man” – and she flaunted him again two nights ago, at the Coldplay performance at UCLA. In yesterday’s post, I made a big deal about The Bos and her connection to Chris Martin – they allegedly, reportedly had an affair in 2009 – and I ignored this pretty boy in the photos. I think he might be her new gay BFF, but People Magazine must have gotten a heads up from The Bos’s publicist, because they have the low-down on who the guy is and how he and Bosworth are new lovers or something:
So long, Alexander. Hello, Michael. Kate Bosworth, who recently split from True Blood star Alexander Skarsgard, has a new beau, PEOPLE has learned.
The 28-year-old actress stepped out with director Michael Polish Wednesday night to catch Coldplay at the Samsung and AT&T Summer Krush concert at the Los Angeles Tennis Center at UCLA. The pair were incredibly close (even kissing!) throughout the show, according to a source, and Polish had his hands around her waist during several songs.
The identical twin brother of his sometime filmmaking collaborator Mark, Polish, 40, is currently directing Bosworth in Big Sur, the film adaptation of the novel by Jack Kerouac.
He is also the director of several films including The Astronaut Farmer and Twin Falls, Idaho, in which he also costarred with his brother.

Is Big Sur the reason for the sketchy hair? It’s a period film, I’m assuming – the “period” being late 1950s, early 1960s, when the Jack Kerouac book is set. Did people do this to their hair circa 1961? I don’t think so.
As for Bosworth’s romance… sure. He looks like Benjamin Millepied, only smaller. I know the camera just got them at a weird angle, but it really seems like he’s only about five foot four, if that. A pocket boyfriend, only… he’s not so cute once you get him home. Maybe she figured her last boyfriend was a giant, so maybe she just wanted a relationship where she didn’t have to deal with chronic neck pain. Or maybe she just wanted somebody pretty to flaunt in case Alex is paying attention (Hint: I don’t think he is paying attention).

Oh Katie. We get it. Really.

It’s just plain pathetic and lame.

He reminds me of Millipied too. I saw a picture of Kate today and her hair was pulled back in a bun…much better.

She looks dreadful, like, really awful. She also seems like she’s probably pretty hard work, but thinks the opposite.
I think she’d look good with maybe a choppy bob, a bit like Aniston. Her hair always looks like it needs a good cut!

Northfork was so good… Mark is “sometime filmmaking collaborator”? The Polish Bros. always work together, don’t they?
This dating thing… not encouraging. Maybe Michael is dating Bosworth ironically. Like performance art as defined by James Franco.

edit: Come to think of it, maybe the hair is supposed to say, look, I’m just chillin’ I’m not trying. And that’s perfectly fine by me, but it would be amusing, coming from a celeb that tries so hard.

Is there a ring on his left hand? The one he’s shoving in his pocket?

She’s horrible. She obviously wanted to flaunt her man in Chris/and Alex’s face and get the most attention possible. Same as when she set up that photo-op with Orlando Bloom. Why do these untalented girls spend so much time setting up photo-ops and so little taking acting lessons?

Still think it’s a cover. I totally think she’s got it bad for Chris Martin.

Sweetheart, Alex ain’t watching.

Downgrade. I’m sure he’s a nice guy and all, but she’s ridden the Thor hammer dong of ASkars. Alex was the best thing to happen to her. I don’t think she’ll find another guy that can measure up to him.

I don’t think she is dating. Her outfit clearly says “I’m taking a year of celibacy.”

Try hard attention whore that can’t exist without a man for 5 minutes.

He looks like he is so over it. Not even close to her, no language of even giving a crap. I’m guessing he has to do this to make his star happy so he can finish the damn movie without her causing problems. Maybe she promised him publicity for the movie. Either way, he is not into her at all.

honey ASkars is on his way to me, he’s not bothered about what you’re doing!

Anyone else creeped out by the fact that a) she’s taking her new boyfriend to the concert of ex married lover? (what kind of straight guy likes Coldplay? and with all the cuddling and kissing was she trying to make Martin jealous?) and b) she’s using him and her home wrecking connection Chris Martin to court publicity.
Maybe he’s just oblivious I guess. But I love that Kate’s not stopping her famewhoring ways, hell she’s not even slowing down. Pretty ballsy to showcase your new boyfriend at the concert of your married ex lover (and not feel no shame for sleeping with a married man!). Look at that smug smile. She’s like I got this. You know she’s hit rock bottom with this skeezer move.

Alex is up to his eyeballs in available pooty-tang. I doubt he’s jealous or having second thoughts. If anything, he sent her new victim a thank you note with a gift card to Joan’s on Third.

I don’t know what we’d all do without kate to pick on. I think Michael Polish is hot, no matter if he’s short or whatever. Haven’t seen her happy ex out with any one but guys either, maybe that’s just they way she likes em.

Can you imagine if ColdFish broke up with Fishsticks and took up with Kate B?
That would be epic — emaciated blond Brangeniston for the 2010 decade!

What a step down in terms of hotness but I guess she couldn’t date anyone that looked remotely like Alexander or everyone would be saying she was still obsessed with him.
I have to say she doesn’t annoy me as much as she should. I don’t hate her in films and despite the fact she is clearly a publicity hound I just feel kinda blah towards her. All I know is I’m seeing Straw Dogs remake for the hotness that is the Skarsdong.

This guy looks really short and they just look like friends going to a concert. She does not look good at all. I wonder why her and ASkars broke up?
I’m just in awe that THIS girl was with ASkars… I just can’t believe that she had that Swedish hunk of man!

Anyone else find it ironic that Mr. Polish filed for divorce 3 months ago? And he is still wearing a wedding band. The movie started filming in April. And what is up with the magical appearing and dissappearing wedding band Kate keeps showing up with. Refer to pics from Chateau Marmont first sighting of 2 together. WTFIUWT

I just saw this hobbit at the deauville film festival in France. Sorry he’s more like 5’11 and super cute. Way too charming for her.
