I know I’m one of the few people who absolutely LOVE Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone as a couple. I could care less about Emma’s potential with Ryan Gosling, who she’s currently working with again. The Gosdong is a non-starter at this point, what with his Disneyland fetish. For me, it’s all about Andrew Garfield and whether or not he’s anything like that super-sexy dream I had about him (that still makes me blush). I want to think Andrew and Emma are A) super-cute in an almost wholesome way and B) completely dirty in an intense-adult-film way. Anyway, Emma and Andrew have apparently been together since they worked on The Amazing Spiderman. There have been hotel rendezvous and date nights. I hoped they were solid. But this new report in Star Magazine has upset me – Star’s sources claim – in detail – that Andrew was out on a date with Rashida Jones. DAMN IT.

Andrew Garfield seemed thoroughly smitten as he escorted his leading lady, Emma Stone, to a screening of the cult classic, The Nightmare Before Christmas at LA’s El Capitan Theatre on Oct. 23.

Yet just three days after the sweet movie date with Emma, 23, Andrew was caught getting frisky with his Social Newtowrk costar Rashida Jones, 35, at Animal restaurant.

“I was so surprised to see them out together and sitting so close to each other,” an eyewitness tells Star. What’s more, the two only had eyes for each other, with Andrew, 28, hanging on Rashida’s every word and tenderly resting his hand on the small of her back as they left the eatery, says the eyewitness.

“There was some serious flirting going on. Rashida seemed excited to be with him.”

But will Emma still be keen on him once word of his rendezvous with Rashida gets out?

Rashida has previously dated John Krasinski, so she definitely has a type, and I think Andrew Garfield is it. What’s horrible is that if you took Emma Stone out of the equation, I would totally like Rashida and Andrew together. But the idea that he’s stepping out on Emma? Bad move, dream-lover. BAD MOVE. Maybe it’s all BS, though. Here’s hoping.

I’ve been hearing rumors about this alleged hookup for about a month now, but never anything solid. Allegedly, John Mayer is only having affairs with Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston in the tabloids – in reality, he might be quietly dating Rashida Jones. Rashida, daughter of Quincy Jones and ex-girlfriend of John Krasinski, actually seems like a half-decent match for Mayer, in my opinion. She’s a television actress, she’s cute, she’s family with the music industry, and she seems to have a thing for goofy white boys. I mean that in a good way, seriously. I also think Rashida is less likely to use any romantic relationship to get press or a career boost, which must be a new thing for Mayer. Anyway, Page Six is reporting that Rashida is “staying mum” on her relationship for now. Good for her:

Rashida Jones is staying mum on her rumored relationship with John Mayer. At the other night’s charity event for Peace Games at the Limited’s pop-up store in SoHo, the “Parks and Recreations” star deflected questions about the singer, with whom she’s been spotted around town since the end of October, and said she’d only talk about the charity. Jones did mention that she’d be staying in town for Thanksgiving and going shopping on Black Friday for the first time.

The last thing I heard about Rashida was that she was quietly dating Jon Favreau, President Obama’s chief speechwriter. But I think that relationship probably ended, likely because of the whole bicoastal thing. The Huffington Post even reported that Favreau went solo to this week’s state dinner. Hm… state dinners with a speechwriter or O-faces with Mayer? I know what I would choose.

The weirdest thing happened when I was reading next week’s National Enquirer. The tabloid has two separate stories about Hollywood actresses getting it on with Obama administration dudes. The first story is about Rashida Jones (star of The Office and Parks and Recreation), who is dating one of President Obama’s speechwriters, a guy named Jon Favreau. To those of us who follow this crap religiously, Favreau’s name rang a bell. He’s known for several things – he’s one of Obama’s best, brightest and most favorite speechwriters, and he had a minor scandal during the end of last year’s primaries when photos were released of him drunkenly groping a Hillary Clinton cut-out. He looks like a frat boy, but he’s supposed to be a damn good writer.

According to the Enquirer, Rashida had been “miserable” after her split with John Krasinski. For a while, Favreau had a girlfriend, but as soon as mutual friends informed Rashida that Favreau was single, she moved in for the kill. The Enquirer is painting Rashida as some kind of desperate woman, which I doubt is the case:

Gorgeous actress Rashida Jones has gone from an “Office” romance to a White House love affair – with President Obama’s dashing young speechwriter!

And her new man, Jon Favreau, has made her forget all about former boyfriend and co-star John Krasinski, who quickly moved on to a relationship with “The Devil Wears Prada” star Emily Blunt after his and Rashida’s breakup, say pals.

“For Rashida, her romance with Jon couldn’t have come at a better time,” a longtime friend told the Enquirer.

“She was miserable after breaking up with John. And it really hurt for her to see him dive into a love affair with Emily soon afterward.”

The 33-year-old actress 0 now on the new NBC comedy “Parks and Recreation” – and Favreau, 27, had their official Beltway “coming out” as a couple at the recent White House Correspondents Dinner in D.C.

The pair was later scene cuddling in the wee hours of the morning at an intimate after-party, and they’ve also been spotted getting cozy on a couch at a trendy Georgetown-area bar.

“Rashida is just crazy about Jon, said the source. “She not only finds him handsome, but smart and witty.”

Rashida, the daughter of legendary music producer Quincy Jones, first met Jon through mutual friends at a political fundraising function, but he was dating someone else at the time, says the friend.

“So when a pal clued her in that he’d recently broken up with his girlfriend, Rashida made her move.”

Now the couple is trying to make a long-distance relationship work – he works in Washington, D.C. and she’s based in Hollywood.

But “Rashida is already making plans to spend time with him on the East Coast this summer,” added the friend.

Here’s the thing – it’s not like there aren’t pretty girls in Washington. Granted, they’re usually sleep-deprived and covered in ink, but they’re good people, and they put out. At some point, Favreau is going to go with what’s at hand… and perhaps Rashida will too, once the novelty of sleeping with someone who has the president’s ear wears off. Maybe I just don’t see a long-distance Hollywood-to-Washington relationship working in the long-term.

Kate Walsh’s situation is a bit different. At least, the Enquirer is painting Kate with less desperation and more cougar-hood. Kate went to the White House Correspondent’s Dinner with an administration official, too, the spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security. But Kate knows it’s just a rebound fling, and she’s just using this poor public servant for sex. Atta girl!

Kate Walsh is shaking off the divorce blues with a rebound romance, sources say.

The “Private Practice” star stole the spotlight from the president and first lady at the annual White House Correspondents dinner when she went public with her new beau, Department of Homeland Security [deputy assistant secretary for public affairs] stud Sean Smith.

“Kate wants to prove, most of all to her ex, that she can still land a hot, successful man,” a pal told the Enquirer. “She’s ready for love again.”

Kate was an early Obama supporter, and she’s been “phone friends” with Sean for months, said the source.

“When Kate scored two tickets to the Correspondents Dinner on May 9, she asked Sean to be her date,” said the pal.

“They were all over each other, and Sean sent flowers afterward. They’ve seen each other twice since then, and he calls her every day.”

“Sean is just the kind of guy she needs… Kate learned her lesson the first time out. She’s not rushing into anything,” the source said. “She wants to enjoy dating and being single.”

See, that’s how you fool around with a public servant (not that I would know, cough, cough). Love ‘em and leave ‘em. When I first started reading the stories, and before I had gotten to names of these guys, I just had my fingers crossed that President Obama’s body man Reggie Love wasn’t one of these guys. Reggie Love is my favorite. He’s a Duke graduate, NCAA champion, and absolutely gorgeous. He and Obama famously played basketball every day there’s an election, and there are a lot of anxious women out there hoping that Reggie will bring the love to them. The Huffington Post recently ran a best-of slideshow about Reggie and Obama’s “bromance”, and it’s just lovely.

Here are photos of Reggie Love – he didn’t hook up with anyone that we know of, he’s just hot. Jon Favreau is shown working on his computer. (It’s hard to find pics of him due to the fact that he has the same name as the actor. I also had a hard time finding photos of Sean Smith.) Credit: WENN.com.

Twitter is everywhere. Public figures from Perez Hilton to John McCain and Lilly Allen to P. Diddy are using the site to update their status in 140 characters or less. Most recently, Lindsay was caught drunkenly commenting on the emotional roller coaster that is her love life. But some stars, like Paul Rudd and Rashida Jones, have decided that Twitter is not for them.

“I’m afraid of the Internet. I’m too old to tweet,” said Paul Rudd when E! News caught up with the stars of I Love You, Man at Austin’s South by Southwest Film Festival. “So I don’t tweet, I tw-t.”

“If I didn’t talk to you in high school, I don’t need to talk to you you now,” agrees costar Jason Segal.

And while some stars will tweet their exact location and invite fans to rub up against them at a bus stop, Office vixen Rashida Jones isn’t so hot on the idea, “I don’t need to invite stalkers into my life. I just don’t really see the point.”

This could be part of a growing trend among celebs who were stung by the Twitter bug.

P. Diddy, who has been known to twitter about tantric sex and raucous parties, recently switched his Twitter to private, which means that only 107,356 of his followers will know when Diddy decides to party till 6 in the morn’ or stay home and floss.

However, one high-profile Tweeter has become one bona-fide member of the Twitterati, actor and Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau. At a panel discussion for Rudd and Segal’s movie, titled “I Love You, Man: Are You Saying it Enough?”, Favreau applauded Twitter as a “grassroots” way to reach out to fans and generate word-of-mouth buzz for smaller movies.

Favreau live-twittered the event and even snapped pics of his tweet-shy costars Rashida and Jason, proving that the social-networking tool-cum-promotion machine may be here to stay, whether celebs like it or not.

It’s appropriate that Rashida Jones and Paul Rudd choose not to tweet. Although they’re celebrities, they tend to be private and don’t feel the need to keep the public updated on their every move. Twittering is perfect for celebrities who want constant coverage (think Lilly Allen and Lindsay Lohan), and public figures who want to stay relevant. Even more than Facebook, Twitter allows attention-starved celebrities to keep the public updated on their every move. The length of the posts and the topics they tend to discuss (Lilly Allen, for example, recently updated on her consumption of ribs in bed), makes the audience feel like they’re getting a text message from the celebrity. Too bad Obama hasn’t updated his Twitter – it would be fun getting texts from the President.
