Uma Thurman's divorce from Ethan Hawke apparently hasn't put her off showbiz types. People reports the actress, 37, who has been flying solo since her capricious three-year romance with handsome hotelier Andre Balazs went belly-up in March, is seeing an "actor-director-producer" named David White. "They look good together," a snitch with a grasp of what's really important tells the magazine. "They are very, very, very happy." The duo stepped out for dinner in London last Friday, with an eyewitness telling In Touch they "sat close together and he was touching her hair." As for Balazs, he's not exactly lacking female company. The New York Daily News spotted him at the "Broken English" premiere in Manhattan Monday night surrounded by "no fewer than five young lovelies," who were all attempting to catch his eye.

Has Zach Braff managed to snare a live one despite his supposedly less-than-suave pick-up technique (one ostensible line used: "You have a hot bod"). The New York Daily News reports the "Scrubs" funnyman was getting "touchy-feely" with "Roswell" actress Shiri Appleby during a performance of "Romeo and Juliet" in Central Park on Tuesday. "She looked very cute in jeans and a black camisole," says the onlooker. "He looked schlumpy." But it seems some ladies find schlumpy a turn-on. "They were kissing," a spy adds to E!'s Marc Malkin, "and he was massaging her neck."

In other Braff news, did he inspire one of the songs on ex-girlfriend Mandy Moore's well-received new album, "Wild Hope"? The New York Post says the likable starlet's ditty "Looking Forward to Looking Back" is about her two-year romance with the "toxic" bachelor, whom she parted ways with in mid-2006. While an insider claims the song is an ode to Braff's alleged wandering eye, the lyrics seem more bittersweet than bitter: "And I know you loved me in your way, I'm looking forward to looking back on these days/ And I'm fine, but I'm not okay ... And I wish I could've stayed."

Somewhere, Jessica Simpson wonders whether she should dye her hair back to brown and adopt a thick Spanish accent. The New York Daily News reports the starlet's repeat ex John Mayer has "a new friend" in Penélope Cruz, whose number he was spied punching into his phone at a party following his June 10 concert in Los Angeles.

Joss Stone is royally ticked over tales that Prince William has been reaching out and touching her. Last week, the London Daily Mirror claimed the newly single heir, 25, has been "secretly" calling the chanteuse, 20, ahead of the Concert for Diana, in honor of his late mother, and the two have "struck up a close friendship." Stone's rep, however, insists she and the prince are merely very casual acquaintances. "They talked about what songs she is going to sing at the concert," the mouthpiece explains to People, "and that gets translated into a story about how William has been bombarding her with calls." Still, given that the unlucky-in-love Joss recently complained to the London Times, "I think I'll have to turn lesbian," she could do a lot worse than buddying up to the future king of England.

If you've recently eaten or are just about to shove a delicious foodstuff into your cakehole, we urge you to skip the following. Really. OK, don't say we didn't warn you. The New York Observer reports Star Jones tossed a 37th birthday party on Saturday in the Hamptons for husband Al Reynolds, who thanked her by gushing in front of their guests that she is "my everything ... You taught me how to love and how to be a better man." Later, the former "View" co-host and the man she has famously described as having the "legs of a stallion" and "skin the color of cooked butter" shook their groove things at a local hot spot. "They were cute and flirted with each other all night," a bystander tells the paper, but "there wasn't any canoodling."
