Sienna Miller is drowning her Balthazar Getty breakup sorrows by making out with actor Josh Hartnett - whom she was caught snogging on a “private date” last week. This is the second time the pair have been seen out on the town together since her breakup with the married father of four. Josh has been previously linked to Kirsten Dunst, Rihanna, and Scarlett Johansson.

Josh Hartnett was reportedly spotted enjoying another intimate evening in London with British star Sienna Miller - fuelling rumours they are dating.

Hartnett is currently living in the English capital while he stars in the new West End production of Rain Man.

The pair is said to have enjoyed a secret date last week (beg10Nov08) at the exclusive Shoreditch House members’ bar in East London, according to The London Paper.A source tells the publication, “They definitely looked like a couple - and a good looking one at that! At one point, they were holding hands across the table, but they quickly hid them underneath. They looked really cosy as they dined, gazing into each other’s eyes, smiling and laughing. They continued talking and drinking until very late into the evening - there was definitely a buzz in the air.”

The pair was previously spotted together two weeks ago at an event in West London, shortly after Miller confirmed her recent split from married actor Balthazar Getty, who she began dating in June (08).

If this pairing sounds familiar, it’s because they were linked to each other back in 2007 when Hartnett had just stopped dating Scarlett and Miller was between married men. Maybe she’s dated so many actors she’s starting to repeat herself. Kinda like that episode of “Sex and the City” where Samantha realizes, in the middle of sex with a random guy, that she’s banged him before.

Britney Spears may be trying to get publicity for more than just being a good girl and getting her life together. The Sun thinks that Britney went on a date with British comedian Russell Brand – and she very well may have. The two were spotted at the same restaurant on the same night at the same time – but of course came and left separately, so there’s no way to know.

RUSSELL BRAND in the same restaurant as BRITNEY SPEARS, only days after their serious flirting at the VMAs - with his reputation?

The comedian just happened to be having dinner in the same restaurant, on the same night as the pop princess. Russell and Britney were snapped leaving The Little Door Restaurant in LA - separately of course.

Britney is on the comeback trail and a little fling with the man of the moment in America would thrust her right back into the limelight. She has been dating her bodyguard Lee, a former Israeli soldier, so Russell should tread carefully.

And Russell is back on the prowl after telling snappers earlier in the evening that he was ‘footloose and fancy free’ after ending his three month relationship with gorgeous Australian actress TERESA PALMER.

Russ and Brit certainly hit it off at the weekend. Stranger things have happened…

It’s cute that they think Russell Brand is “the man of the moment in America.” I think he’s just “less unknown than he used to be in America.” Of course that doesn’t sound quite so sexy and likely to entice Britney. But I don’t think they’re being misinformed about Russell’s popularity means that they’re misinformed about everything. Brand is edgy without being a blatant risk in terms of Brit’s reputation – which I think she probably takes pretty seriously now, considering how hard she’s worked the last few months. And while it’d be an odd and rather humorous pairing, I doubt it’d damage her popularity like K-Fed or paparazzo Adnan Ghalib.

I think it’d be best if she stayed away from guys and just focused on her kids and career for a while. But rarely does Britney do what I ask. And Brand seems like an okay choice for her – nothing spectacular either way.

There are a few hypothetical celebrity couplings the very idea of which is so horrendous that it’s actually immediately transferred from the conscious, to the subconscious, to the unconscious, and then just thrown the hell away. Freud wrote about it. Something like “gross the hell out” complex. And the best example I can give of it is the idea of Michael Jackson dating Pamela Anderson. Which really is… stop it, keep it in your conscious mind now… happening according to the Daily Mirror.

We really shouldn’t be surprised at anything when it comes to Michael Jackson. But we have to admit we were shocked when we found out he’d been on a string of dates with Pamela Anderson. The odd couple seem to have bonded over their love of plastic surgery and have been hooking up in Malibu.

We hear the big-boobed babe is a massive fan of Michael… and it seems the feeling is mutual. A source said: “It was all arranged by their people in total secrecy, very cloak and dagger. Michael is such a private person. He gets nervous when he thinks people are following him around, so he chose somewhere neutral for their first date. They arrived separately at the Shutters Hotel on Malibu Beach so no one would suspect anything and then had a few drinks in the bar.”

The pair requested a hidden area in the corner - for two reasons. Firstly, it shielded them from any prying eyes. And second, it would have protected them from the dangerous melting effects of the Californian sunshine. After all, there’s a fine line between looking hot and having a runny, bubbling face. Our source went on: “They were very chatty. Pamela was being her usual flirty self and Michael seemed to be responding. They are such a strange couple but they seemed to really hit it off.”

So much so Michael plucked up the courage to ask Pammy out on a second date. And she was more than happy to accept.

This is one of those rumors I’d clearly call bullshit on if it were about any two people besides Pamela Anderson and Michael Jackson. These two crave ridiculous, improbable levels of drama the way the rest of us need protein and vitamins. It is absolutely essential to their existence. And the more insane something seems, the higher the chance they’re actually doing it.

I’m guessing they’re going to have some half-orange, half dermatology-induced bleached children in the very near future.

We don’t hear much about Winona Ryder anymore. Every since her shoplifting conviction a few years ago the actress has pretty much stayed under the Hollywood radar. She’s shown up to the appropriate events here and there so as not to become totally irrelevant, but she’s certainly not an “it” girl anymore. And though she’s got a few decent sounding movies coming up, it appears Winona seems to think her life has sunk a lot deeper than it has, because she’s indulged in one of the lowest forms of desperation known to womankind: she’s dating Tom Green.

Movie beauty Winona Ryder has found love with Drew Barrymore’s comedian ex-husband Tom Green, according to reports.

The pair was spotted cuddling up at a Hollywood bar last week (13Au08), and pals insist an odd romance is blossoming - just weeks after Ryder split with rocker boyfriend Blake Sennett.

A source tells the National Enquirer, “Winona didn’t waste any time. She and Tom were all over each other, laughing and carrying on.”

Green was married to Barrymore from 2001 to 2002. Ryder has a long list of exes, including Johnny Depp, Christian Slater, Dave Grohl, Dave Pirner and David Duchovny.

Shudder. Dating Tom Green is like declaring to the world, “I have no options left and no faith in myself!” It’s the female equivalent of dating Shauna Sand or Phoebe Price. Actually it’s worse, because those two women are still semi/sorta/barely relevant, whereas I’d bet if you stopped twelve random people on the street no one would even remember who Tom Green was. Winona please. You have oodles of talent. You generally conduct yourself with decorum, the whole stealing-stuff-you- can-afford issue aside. This is lower than crime. This is lower than jail. You’re worth more than this. Steal yourself a better date.

When I think of athletes getting into hot water, I think of out-of-wedlock babies, general debauchery, and dog fighting. Rarely do I think of cereal. But that’s exactly the controversy record-setting Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps finds himself in. Phelps has signed a contract to appear on the front of both Frosted Flakes and Corn Flakes boxes – a move that has got him in a lot of trouble. Why? Well mostly it’s because he’s scored the traditional Wheaties box. Oh and because of sugar.

Five out of five dentists say Michael Phelps is all wet — when it comes to his choice of breakfast cereal.

Health experts are going nuts because Mikey likes Frosted Flakes, and is going to be on the FF box rather than a Wheaties box, like pretty much every other big-shot athlete. They’re all up in arms because Flakes has three times as much sugar as Wheaties and only a fraction of the fiber. Not so grrrrrreat after all?!

[From TMZ]

Us Weekly notes that Phelps has actually already been on the front of a Wheaties, so it’s probably just no big whoop for him.

The Kellogg Co. has released Michael Phelps’ upcoming Corn Flakes cereal box art.

The 23-year-old swimming champ — who won a record eight gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics — will also appear on Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes, beginning in mid-September. (Phelps passed on posing on Wheaties boxes, where he has appeared before. Kellogg Co. would not reveal how much it paid him.)

[From Us Weekly]

I agree that sugar is the devil (at least for a lot of people, myself included) but let the guy do what he wants. I’m pretty sure he’s allowed to be on the box of donuts if that’s what he chooses to do. Phelps is also supposedly not a fan of Wheaties and actually wants his image to endorse something he does like and eats. What a novel concept.

Michael has also been the subject of much internet gossip of late. Everyone wants to know who he’s dating, and for some reason it’s been narrowed down to Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard or British model Lily Donaldson. I’m not quite sure why these two women are the most frequently mentioned, but I think it’s pretty safe that we can rule Beard out.

Sexpot swimmer Amanda Beard says Michael Phelps has absolutely no shot at doing the breaststroke with her. Beard denied today that she was dating Phelps, saying, “Eww, that’s nasty…. I have never, ever hooked up with Michael Phelps,” Beard said via telephone from Beijing on the “Johnjay and Rich Show,” which is broadcast on Kiss FM 104.7 in Phoenix.

Beard, who has bared all for Playboy and appears in a sexy ad for PETA, also said she has never even kissed the 14-time Olympic gold-medallist [sic]. “Come on, I have really good taste,” the sexy swimmer said. “He’s really not my type.” Asked how the poolside rumors made their way into London’s Daily Telegraph, Beard said she had no clue. “We don’t even talk to each other,” she said of her relationship with Phelps.

When “Extra” asked Phelps in an interview that aired last night if he was dating Beard, Phelps said, “No. I’m not dating Amanda Beard. I’ll say that,” he told the TV show. “I think she has a boyfriend.”

[From the New York Post]

Beard later clarified that she was joking around about the “Eww” thing and she and Michael are just friends. Lily Donaldson’s reps haven’t responded to the rumors, so I guess there’s a possibility there. Phelps himself has said he keeps his private life private, and only a few friends know who he’s dating and that’s how it’s going to stay. And by that, he means he’s dating me. Sorry to disappoint.
