A widely circulated photo of Paris Hilton and Jared Leto tangling tongues during a weekend shindig at the Sundance Film Festival not only sparked a collective "ewww," but it also left many wondering how the hookup happened. PageSix.com says the self-admiring starlet, 26, and the unctuous-coiffed actor, 36, have been so-called "play-dates" -- draw your own conclusions -- for a decade. "Paris and Jared are not dating seriously, but this is not the first time they have made out -- there just weren't any cameras around before," reveals an insider. "She likes him and she thinks he is really sexy and fun." So fun, reports the New York Daily News, that Hilton bestowed a lap dance on him prior to the tonsil polishing, a bit of bumping and grinding she may have practiced a few days before. According to Life & Style, Paris showed off similar moves on Jan. 19 at Los Angeles hot spot Tao. "She started giving [Jared] a lap dance," a spy tells the tab. "He was uncomfortable at first, but he started to enjoy it. By the time she leaned in to kiss him, he was all for it."

If the New York Giants want to rattle Tom Brady on Super Bowl Sunday, they should forget about those Bridget Moynahan masks making the rounds and go for something in the Leonardo DiCaprio genre instead. People reports the New England Patriots quarterback and girlfriend Gisele Bundchen had an uncomfortably close call Monday night when they hit New York hot spot Butter at the same time as her A-list ex. The former sweethearts, whose fickle, five-year romance fizzled out in 2005, supposedly did their best to avoid each other despite sitting only two tables apart, with the Brazilian beauty cozily huddling up with Brady and the actor keeping his focus firmly on his PDA. When Tom and Gisele made their exit holding hands, says the mag, Leo "didn't even look up."

Are Blake Lively and Penn Badgley so dedicated to achieving verisimilitude on "Gossip Girl" that they're practicing their love scenes off-camera? The New York Daily News spied the co-stars puckering up on Saturday while shopping in New York. Three days earlier, the actress laughed off the romance chatter, insisting she and Badgley are just pals. "Everybody always tries to dig into your personal life or create things that aren't there ... It's silly," she pooh-poohed to the mag. "Any male friend is obviously a 'romance alert,' but I've always been friends with boys my whole life."

David Spade has plenty to deal with these days, what with his progeny possibly being incubated by a Playboy Playmate, so it was thoughtful of Jenna Fischer to step up and nip another romance rumor in the bud. On Monday, the button-cute "Office" star refuted a report that she was dating the curiously successful suitor. "Imagine my surprise as I'VE NEVER MET [him]!" Jenna wrote on her blog. "What a milestone! My first TOTALLY 100% UNTRUE tabloid report!" Not about to miss out on an opportunity to have some fun, the actress, who parted ways with husband James Gunn in November, jokes, "While we are on the subject, some other people I've never met are Orlando Bloom, Colin Farrell, Jake Gyllenhaal and Brad Pitt. Maybe I can fictionally date some of those guys too?"
