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."
