• Milo Ventimiglia has reportedly told friends that he is dating his Heroes co-star Hayden Panettiere. The pair repeatedly denied rumours of a romance after they were repeatedly spotted together during downtime while filming the second series of the show earlier in the year - but now reports claim Milo couldn’t shut up about her at a pre-Christmas party in Los Angeles: “He called her his girlfriend and said that he loved her.” Eighteen year old Hayden split up from Stephen Coletti, boyfriend of a year, in September.
  • Britney Spears‘ 4am lunch buddy has said he thinks the star’s public behaviour is very much influenced by the people in her entourage. Paparazzi photographer Adnan Ghalib was invited to a hotel room by the singer last weekend after they spent weeks flirting from either side of the camera - but he insists they just talked. He’s now told 20/20 he thinks she’s unfairly attacked: “She is the way she is because of the people she surrounds herself with. On a single level, I think she’s awesome.”
