New Couple

OLIVIA WILDE AND HARRY STYLES HAVE SHIA LABEOUF TO THANK FOR THEIR BUDDING ROMANCE

Thanks to Shia LaBeouf, Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles are enjoying the beginning of a new romance (and we love it!) Shia is inadvertently responsible because he was cast as the male lead in Olivia’s new thriller Don’t Worry Darling (she’s directing and costarring) but he got into some trouble with past girlfriends charging him with awful behavior. Olivia has no time for THAT kind of guy, and she promptly fired Shia and offered the role to Harry. She was DELIGHTED when he said yes. She felt Harry was perfect for the stylized role (film takes place in the 1950’s) and has declared him “a modern confident male who is devoid of any traces of toxic masculinity.” Sounds like the exact opposite of Shia LaBeouf. Anyway, the newly single Olivia got her leading man AND a new boyfriend, so 2021 is looking mighty fine!

A WARNING TO HAYLEY ATWELL!

It has leaked out that Tom Cruise, 58, is probably dating his Mission Impossible 7 costar Hayley Atwell, 38. It was inevitable because Tom only dates actresses he has auditioned and hired for roles in his movies -case in point: two of his ex-wives, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes. That’s how he meets women. We’re betting Hayley does not yet know how tall Tom is without shoes on. Is it a coincidence that Tom and Katie both recently went public with new romances for the first time since they divorced? We feel it’s our duty to warn Hayley that Scientology will inevitably rear its ugly head and probably destroy the relationship like it did for Nicole and Katie, who to this day, are afraid to SPEAK about it.

THOMAS JANE: LONG TIME NO SEE

It’s been awhile since we came across Hung star Thomas Jane, but he’s always been a pretty fascinating character. Right now he’s at the Venice Film Festival promoting his new movie Run Hide Fight about a violent school shooting. Jane’s last film, The Vanished, in which he costarred with Anne Heche, is now in some theaters and On Demand. Anne (currently rehearsing for Dancing with the Stars) and Thomas admit they “fell in love” while playing man and wife in that movie, and are now a couple! And they have a lot in common – remember Thomas was rumored to have done a little male hustling on Santa Monica Blvd when he was 18, and Anne used to be Ellen Degeneres’ girlfriend! Could be a perfect match…

THIS IS WHAT SKEET ULRICH HAS BEEN UP TO

If you’ve been wondering what Skeet Ulrich, 50, has been up to since leaving Riverdale, he’s been quite happily keeping company with gorgeous Australian model Megan Blake Irwin. (That’s Skeet behind Megan in the white shirt.) The pair just celebrated her 29th birthday at Catch. She’s been rhapsodizing about him on Instagram, saying “You make me the happiest human in the world.” Scream star Skeet IS actually quite a nice guy – we met him at House of Blues back in the 90’s and he was as down-to-earth and likeable as he is handsome…

COMMON AND TIFFANY HADDISH: FOR REAL?

For the past few isolation months, Tiffany Haddish, 40, and Common, 48, have been dropping hints about their relationship which supposedly started on the dating website Bumble. Since Tiffany is a paid spokesperson for the site, we suspect a PR stunt, but it might have developed into the real thing. They HAVE been seen together, and today they showed up at a Black Lives Matter rally in Hollywood. We like this romance and think they make a cute and appropriate couple…

LOVE IN THE TIME OF PLAGUE

Ben Affleck, 47, and Knives Out star Ana de Armas, 31, play a couple in the movie Deep Water, which they finished filming in early February, and they’ve been a couple in real life ever since. Ana brought Ben to her hometown in Cuba and took him to all her favorite places. Nobody on the movie set was surprised – they observed that Ben and Ana clicked right away. They are now socially isolating together in Los Angeles and from the looks of it, Ben has never been happier. (Above, Ana, Ben, and her little Elvis)

PETE DAVIDSON CONTINUES HIS LUCKY STREAK

SNL goofball Pete Davidson continues batting 1000 when it comes to girlfriends. We thought Ariana Grande might be a one-hit wonder and after she split, Pete would have to lower his standards a bit. But no, he soon hooked up with Kate Beckinsale and they were seen together on both coasts. Kate’s moved on, but Pete is on a roll – now he’s hanging out with Andie MacDowell’s beautiful daughter Margaret Qualley. We can picture Pete falling for Margaret in her role as the flirtatious free-love chick, Pussycat, in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. But in real life she’s more of a classic beauty than a rock chick – and they make a surprising couple. Now they’re in Venice for the premier of her new film Seberg.

ANNE HECHE AND THOMAS JANE: MADE FOR EACH OTHER?

Here’s a couple we can enjoy seeing together. They both have interesting histories. Anne Heche, 49, and Thomas Jane, 50, costarred on HBO’s Hung as a divorced couple. Jane played an underpaid Detroit schoolteacher who became a male prostitute for the money. Jane also implied that he had done some real-life hustling of his own as a teen in Hollywood. (We had heard that rumor and were delighted when he owned up to it.) Anne had a notorious crazy-time romance with Ellen DeGeneres that ended badly. Anne and Thomas (both are now divorced with kids) were longtime friends – they started holding hands a few months ago, and now it’s a full-blown romance.

KELLY OSBOURNE LIKES HER MEN TALL, DARK, AND UNUSUAL

Kelly Osbourne has been showing off her new boyfriend Jimmy Q (real name James Quaintance) all over town for the past few weeks. Kelly loves “discovering” unique characters and her new beau is a pro-skateboarder, a model, musician, and tattoo artist. We would have guessed he was from London, but he actually grew up in “skatertown” AKA Venice, California. His unique looks do get him modeling jobs in the UK, however. What the heck, Kelly’s having fun, and Jimmy’s most evident vice so far is his constant smoking.
