Paris HiltonAfter Jared Leto at Sundance last week, Paris Hilton was spotted kissing close friend Elisha Cuthbert during a night out in New York on Tuesday.

The two women, who met on the set of their 2005 film House of Wax, arrived at Tenjune separately but onlookers report they quickly hooked up.

A fellow club-goer told the New York Post: “They were drinking and dancing, and all of suddenly they just started kissing.”

The women were at the club to celebrate a mutual friend’s birthday and as well as the kissing, Paris was seen dancing on banquets. A source told Us Weekly that both actions are classic Paris: “She loves putting on a show.”

But other sources suggest the kissing was inspired by time Paris spent with socialite Courtenay Semel in Los Angeles this weekend. Lindsay Lohan’s supposed roommate Courtenay is said to have been jealous that Lindsay was in New York, partying with Brody Jenner and Paris’ ex Stavros Niarchos, so invited Paris for a night out instead.

The two socialites were spotted dancing on tables at Falcon, a lesbian bar on Sunset Boulevard, and a source explained: “[Courtenay’s] been parading Paris Hilton around to all her lesbian events trying to make Lindsay jealous. And Paris has been trying to make Stavros jealous - plus the attention never hurts.”
