Drew Barrymore is a wanted woman. People says the sunny star, who was recently seen strolling and smooching with Zach Braff in New York, was spied Tuesday night in Los Angeles getting up close and personal with the lips and facial hair of Spike Jonze. Drew and the director, who were first spotted together in February, were supposedly "cuddling and kissing" in a VIP section of the El Rey Theatre while grooving to the frenetic electro-rock sounds of the Klaxons. At one point, the frisky actress "playfully" traced Spike's mustache before going in for a smacker that lasted "a good 10 seconds," a spy tells the mag. And what of Braff, who was purportedly puckering up with Barrymore on the dance floor of an New York hot spot on June 30, with an eyewitness telling People, "There was a moment when they kissed and it seemed almost blissful"? It appears the "Scrubs" funnyman, who recently took to his blog to deny claims that he's a cad, continues to play the field. The New York Daily News spotted Braff acting like "his usual flirtatious self" with female fans during the Live Earth concert in New Jersey.

Josh Hartnett has courted Penélope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson and even a pre-Tom Cruise Katie Holmes, but is he now skewing slightly older -- and Danish? The follicular-challenged, mono-browed actor, 28, has fueled rumors of a romance with seminal supermodel Helena Christensen, 38, after he was snapped hanging out with her backstage at the Oxegen Festival in Ireland last weekend. The sighting comes on the heels of a report in the National Enquirer claiming Christensen, who is mom to 7-year-old son Mingus, had planned to set Hartnett up with pal Rosario Dawson, only he had other ideas. "Before Helena could play matchmaker for Rosario, Josh made it clear he wanted to date Helena," a source alleges to the tab. "Now Helena has promised Rosario that she hopes to find her someone as good as Josh so they can double date." Hartnett's lawyer tells the Enquirer they're not an item.

In other model-actor love connection news, Petra Nemcova was "all cuddly" with Lukas Haas while making the scene at Live Earth in New Jersey, says the New York Daily News. What constitutes "cuddly"? Seems the tsunami-surviving beauty was observed rubbing the back of the actor, who is still best remembered as the adorable, big-eared Amish tyke from "Witness." Haas, meanwhile, apparently looked bent out of shape when Carson Daly gave Petra a hug.

Lance Bass is proceeding with caution when it comes to the latest object of his affection. The former boy bander is downplaying rumors that he's hot and heavy with model Pedro Andrade, telling Us Weekly, "He's just a friend." But that doesn't mean there's no romance a-brewing. "I guess you can say we're dating because we've been on multiple dates," he clarifies, "but it's nothing exclusive. I'm freshly out of a relationship." Bass, 28, who called it quits with Reichen Lehmkuhl (please let that be the last time we have to type that name) several months back, adds that he's "never dated in my adult gay life. I need to do that. Mainly I don't want to date anyone right now because I'm so focused on my career, which I haven't been for the last four years." The singer, who will soon join the Broadway cast of "Hairspray," is quick to add how "convenient" it is that Andrade is based in New York, where he will spend the next six months. Gushes Lance, "He's the sweetest person ever."

Pamela Anderson may have been snapped planting a kiss on the cheek of the curiously irresistible David Spade while partying in Las Vegas a few days ago, but it looks like she only has eyes for her ex-husband, Tommy Lee. According to Robin Leach's Luxe Life, the full-bloused bombshell and the tattoo-covered rocker have lately been "inseparable" in Sin City, where Pam is appearing in "The Beauty of Magic." During the weekend, the recidivist flames were supposedly spied locking lips, snuggling and holding hands. "They are totally happy and completely contented with each other," enthuses a mole. "We've never seen Pamela smiling so much and looking so radiant. She's got the look of love written all over her face."

In other aging "Baywatch"-er news, just because a guy is videotaped slurring his words while lying on the floor eating a hamburger doesn't mean he isn't a catch. The New York Post says David Hasselhoff stopped by a Fourth of July soiree at the Playboy Mansion and proceeded to get his flirt on with actress Sallie Toussaint (most notable credit: "Woman at Opera" in "The Departed"), who strikes a pose in the current issue. "David's my childhood crush," she's quoted as telling a pal, before ookily adding, "and such a nice slice of American man snack!"

Did Courtney Love get the gift of comedy for her 43rd birthday? The rehabbed, revamped rocker, who is lately showing off a figure that falls somewhere between angular and atrophied, was seen spending quality time with British funnyman Noel Fielding after performing in London this week, reports the Sun.
