Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie couldn't keep their
hands -- or lips -- off each at the weekend premiere of "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" in
Toronto, but it turns out their cuddle-buddies weren't just for the cameras. The
National Post says the tabloid-topping, impossibly pretty pair continued to paw
at one another at a star-crammed shindig on the roof of their hotel, where their
heat was "perfectly palpable." Angelina was spotted leaning against a wall as
she "cradled" Brad from behind, giving him a shoulder rub and "playfully"
unbuttoning his shirt (no word on whether the unfastening was low enough to
reveal his new stomach tattoo, which features his amour's birthdate). By Monday,
the Jolie-Pitts were back to their domestic routine in New York, where snappers
trailed them as they dropped off 6-year-old Maddox at his exclusive private
school and treated a likely thrilled Pax, 3, and Zahara, 2, to a trip to FAO
Schwarz.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the touchy feely spectrum in Toronto were Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal, who kept their distance while
stumping for their forthcoming drama, "Rendition." But it turns out there were a few
sightings of the rumored squeezes getting up close and personal over the
weekend. Time magazine reports they "danced briefly but divinely" at a swanky
soiree, while the National Post says Witherspoon swung by to pick
up Gyllenhaal after he finished chowing down at an Italian restaurant.
Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz apparently have very different
ideas about the meaning of PDA. The New York Daily News says the
visage-overhauling starlet and the guy-liner-loving Fall Out Boy bassist were all over each other at a Rock &
Republic bash last week in New York, with Ash's skirt "riding up her hips while
she wriggled in his lap." But Wentz wasn't paying all that much attention to
Simpson's overexposure during their public display of affection. In a move
that would seem to indicate he's growing a bit bored with spit-shining Ashlee's
tonsils, Pete was reportedly checking messages on his PDA behind her head as
they tangled tongues. But that didn't stop him from gushing about Simpson at the
VMAs, telling People, "The truth is, it's crazy to be able to kiss your best
friend. It's just a really awesome thing."
More than 40 years after his heyday as the cute Beatle, Paul McCartney still has a way with the ladies. After
recently chatting up Christie Brinkley and reportedly cozying up to Renee Zellweger, the
not-quite-divorced pop icon, 65, enjoyed an "intimate" tête-à-tête with Elle Macpherson, 43, during the GQ Men of the Year
awards show in London last week, reports the Daily Mail. The McSnuggly pair was
snapped laughing, whispering and being generally tactile during the ceremony,
where Elton John gave McCartney props as "the greatest living
songwriter."
 Orlando Bloom in London (Ian Allis/Capital Pictures/Retna
Ltd.) | Sir Paul may not have been the only
big name who had his eye on Macpherson that night. The Mail claims Orlando Bloom went on a flirting "spree" at the
event, supposedly sweet-talking the statuesque model with the following line: "I
just want to rub my face in your bosoms." Klassy. We're guessing that alleged
come-on would have worked a whole lot better if the actor weren't still sporting
a chafing, bushy porn-stache, which sits atop his upper lip like a depressed
caterpillar.
Meanwhile, is Kylie Minogue also immune to Bloom's ineffable charms?
According to the London Sun, the actor "made a beeline" for the pop queen at a
recent benefit bash, only to have her beat a hasty retreat to a nightclub.
Orlando was supposedly left red-faced at her exit, with a spy telling the paper,
"He tried to laugh it off but you could tell he was gutted."
Has Jeremy Piven succeeded where Bruce Willis failed? The "Entourage" star was spied getting
oodles of attention from Petra Nemcova at a Prada soiree in New York last week.
The tsunami-surviving model, who reportedly warded off Willis' wooing attempts
last year, "cupped Piven's face in her hand and cooed like a baby," reports the
New York Daily News. According to New York magazine, Nemcova also "held his hand
and dragged him all over the party, and when someone asked her what she was
doing next, she turned to Piven and said, 'What are we doing next?'" Perhaps
Petra was just showing appreciation for the actor's support of her Happy Hearts
charity bash, which the New York Post says he's set to host.
The former flame of Kirsten Dunst traces the demise of their romance to
differing views on two very important issues: cleanliness and cuisine. "We were
leading different lifestyles. It's over," Johnny Borrell is quoted as telling
the London Daily Mirror. "She believes in equality, that a bloke should chip in
with the housework. Fair enough, but I'm messy ..." The Razorlight front man, who began dating the actress in March,
also reveals that his love of cancer sticks and meat on a stick were sticking
points. "She couldn't stand the smell of stale [cigarettes], beer and kebabs in
her nice living room," he says. "Can't say I blame her, really." Borrell adds
that their opposing sleep patterns also caused problems: "I'm very much a
night owl, and she's up with the lark." But the shaggy haired rocker isn't
harboring any ill will over the bust-up, saying of his ex, "She's a really cool
girl and she loves London and Britain. It was just one of those things."
Looks like Lance Armstrong is pedaling solo these days. The Tour de France
champ has called it quits with designer Tory Burch after about 9 months of
togetherness, reports Us Weekly. "It was a distance thing," says an Armstrong
insider. Not so, maintains a Burch pal, who tells the mag, "Tory would have
moved to Texas for him if he popped the question. But he didn't want to commit."
Meanwhile, does Armstrong already have someone in mind to fill the empty seat on
his tandem bike? In Touch claims Armstrong recently bumped into Jennifer Aniston at a Los Angeles eatery and ended up
trading digits with her. But the actress' rep denies there was any information
exchanged, insisting they chatted for only a few minutes. One reason to believe
the mouthpiece: Jen is known for being a loyal friend, which means she'd
probably shy away from dating the guy who was once engaged to her pal Sheryl Crow.
