Both Matt Leinart and Britney Spears ditched Paris Hilton after screwing around with her for a few weeks. Their people advised them that being linked with Paris would hurt their respective careers. Leinart was celebrating his draft into the NFL this spring when he met Paris while partying it up in Vegas to celebrate. Once he went off for training, his teammates in the Arizona Cardinals are said to have told him to stay away from Paris.

Britney was seen spreading her legs all over town in the company of Paris last month, but Britney broke it off with Paris and told her that she has decided not to be seen in public with her for the time being. Paris is said to be calling her “the animal” since Britney is all instinct.

It’s not surprising, then, that Leinart and Spears two were seen flirting and giggling while out at a club in Scottsdale, Arizona recently. They were probably comparing notes:

For the last week, everyone’s been wondering where in the world Britney Spears has been. Well, it turns out that the mother of two has been partying it up with one of ex-BFF Paris Hilton’s exes – Arizona Cardinal quarterback Matt Leinart in Scottsdale, Arizona. The tattooed pop princess flirted with the multimillionaire QB during a night of dirty dancing at a Scottsdale nightspot, the Jackrabbit Supper Club. “They were flirting hardcore on the patio area all night long… bumping and grinding and whispering in each other’s ears,” a source says. Britney, who usually likes to travel with a huge entourage kept it low-key, with two girlfriends and a big burly bodyguard at the Jackrabbit Supper Club when she bumped into hunky Matt. “Her attention was focused on Matt all night long,” the source adds. “She really let loose!” Hmmmm, could a love match be in the air?

Leinart and Spears also have something else in common. They both have young babies at home. Britney’s mystery second child, Jayden James, was born in September while Leinart just had a child with University of Southern California basketball player Brynn Cameron at the end of October.

Here are pictures of Britney making out with a guy that’s not Matt Leinart, Blake McGrath. BreatheHeavy.com, a fansite that hasn’t dumped Britney, reports that Blake is one of Britney’s dancers and was featured on the show So you think you can dance?. They also report that McGrath plays for the other team and is not into women despite making out with Britney.

Yesterday we mentioned that Paris hasn’t been spotted with her new boyfriend, NFL quarterback Matt Leinart, since last Wednesday morning when he did the walk of shame outside of her place. There may be a good reason for that - Leinart has supposedly taken flack from his teammates for getting so much press by banging Paris:

The National Ledger has more quotes from the article:

The guy was just recruited by the Arizona Cardinals and he needs to prove himself. His contract details are not known, but his deal is said to be around $12 million. That seems like a lot of money, but he may have lost out on about $10 million more. He was the number 10 draft pick after falling in the rankings by losing a national title game, so he’s probably worried about his football career. He’s obviously taking his teammates seriously and probably won’t be seeing much more of Paris.

Update: video of Paris kissing Leinart at his NFL draft party and trying to sing. She can’t dance, either.

And here are some pictures of Leinart at Arizona Cardinals Minicamp on 5/5/06:

Paris was just linked with USC quarterback Matt Leinart after it was announced yesterday that she broke up with Stavros Niarchos. She’s not wasting any time because she showed up at a party at Pure nightclub at Ceasar’s Palace last night to celebrate Leinart’s draft into the NFL. She even sang at the event.

Also attending were Nick Lachey, Danny Masterson, Wilmer Valderrama, Kimberly Kardashian, and Caroline D’Amor. View the e-vite for the event. (Warning - lauches automatic music.)

Leinart has been drafted to the Arizona Cardinals. He won the Heisman Trophy so he must be hot shit.

Here’s some quick sports background on Leinart.

Matt Leinart was said to be dating Kirsten Cavallari at one time, but just like Nick Lachey, Cavallari said that they were only friends. Leinart has a blog that centers around his football career.

He seems to have a good head on his shoulders and we doubt he and Paris will last.

Here are pictures from the party.
