Jennifer Love Hewitt HAS been spending a lot of off-camera time with her costar on The Whisperer, Jamie Kennedy, but it was described as a “friendship.” However, evidence is mounting that indicates this is a full-blown setside romance. This season, Jamie was added to the cast and his character ‘bonded” with Jennifer’s. A few months later, Jennifer called off her engagement to Ross McCall. On January 14, Jamie was seen in a bowling alley gallantly lacing up Jennifer’s bowling shoes. They’ve been seen in several restaurants and this weekend they arrived at a restaurant together and scampered in separately. (Which only people with something to hide usually do.) But when they walked OUT (perhaps after a few glasses of wine) they were holding hands. The “Malibu’s Most Wanted” star must be keeping Jennifer in stitches.

Jeremy Piven with the same girl more than a few times (we don’t know if it’s THEIR choice or HIS) but it appears he’s been seeing New York model/waitress Ashley Chontos, 23, since December and that’s some kind of a record for him. Jeremy is in town for arbitration with his “Speed-the>-Plow” producers and he and Ashley spent all their free time together.

Kathy Griffin has a new boyfriend and this one might be for real! She was seen walking around New York with this guy and her demeanor was uncharacteristically low-key. In fact, she looks like she DOESN’T want to be photographed! And she’s holding hands with him – something she didn’t do with her billionaire companion Steve Wozniak. So does anybody know who the boyfriend IS?
UPDATE: Readers identified the dude as Kathy’s assistant Tom – but since when are they holding hands?

It’s apparent that “Dancing With The Stars” pros Karina Smirnoff and Maxsim Chmerkovskiy are in the throes of a new romance. They’re both Ukrainian and look like a great match, but it IS odd that the show has been on for seven seasons and it took until NOW for them to hook up. Maxsim says they have actually known each other for fifteen years. So they’ve been friends for a long time and the relationship just turned romantic. At least they know what they’re getting into.

Christina Ricci and comic actor Owen Benjamin wrapped “All’s Faire in Love” awhile back but he’s still her leading man. In spite of the fact that Christina is 5’1″ and Owen is 6’6″, they do have a lot in common, and this is believed to be the first photo of them together. Christina is becoming a regular at LA’s Improv where Owen produces comedy shows.

Shannen Doherty showed up for the Radar magazine party (funeral actually- the irreverant mag is kaput again) at the brand-new New York club Citrine this week. It’s rumored that she is dating the co-owner and entrepreneur David Rodolitz, and this photo does nothing to dispel the rumor. Shannen looks uncharacteristically coy. She seems to be making a bit of a comeback this year.
UPDATE: Shannon’s boyfriend has been misidentified. This is not David Rodolitz. Does anyone know who this boyfriend is?
FURTHER UPDATE: Shannen’s companion in the photo has been identified as Tim Bitici, a friend of hers and fashion editor for an Italian magazine.

Gay men across America (and quite a few women) are turning away from their online dating services and preparing to attend church this weekend – inspired by Miley Cyrus. Last Sunday Miley was photographed leaving church with her hunky new boyfriend Justin Gaston, 20, and he appears to be holding a bible. So THAT’S where the hot Abercrombie & Fitch models spend their free time! Justin, who also models underwear, has become quite friendly with Miley’s family and they all have something in common – they believe in dressing DOWN for church. Especially Billy Ray.

Sharon must like him a lot – she let him drive her Bentley.
