Michelle Trachtenberg is Dating Brandon Hirsch
Move over, Caroline Lyders and Taylor Hicks. There's a new couple in town.
Michelle Trachtenberg has a new boyfriend - and he's smooth as butter.
The actress was seen all over Las Vegas this past weekend with Brandon Hirsch, a manager at New York City hot spot Butter.
The couple first stepped out Friday night at the Killers concert at the Hard Rock Hotel, where they kissed in the crowd and Hirsch swept Trachtenberg off her feet as the band launched into their hit "Mr. Brightside."
Later that evening, the two headed to Caesars' Palace's Pure Nightclub, dancing to tunes spun by none other than Michelle's ex, DJ AM. That must've been awkward.
A source close to Trachtenberg told People magazine that the Jessica Biel look-a-like met Hirsch two years ago, but two got reacquainted about six months ago and have been quietly dating.
While Trachtenberg lives in Los Angeles, "She's becoming bicoastal and spending a lot more time in New York to be with him," said the source. "She wants to be really low-key about the relationship since this is the first time she's dated someone who is not in the business."
Perhaps she could chat with Jennifer Aniston to see how one handles this sort of scenario. After all, that star is reportedly dating a non-actor in Paul Sculfor.

This story is false. She wasn;t with the man. But, to have a little fun...
How gossip mongers make up things about celebs. I used a recent rumor about Michelle Trachtenberg as an example. The original article is from People.com.
Michelle Trachtenberg has a new boyfriend - and, as befits a love interest of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's little sister, he's a night owl.
This is a joke the writer made. Must have thought it would be funny for her to date a nightclub manager.
Trachtenberg, 21, was seen all over Las Vegas over the weekend with Brandon Hirsch, 26, who is a manager at New York City hot spot Butter.
She has been to New York several times to see her father and sister, who still live there. She has been at Butter several times and probably does know the manager there. The author of this article probably knew this and decided to couple the two of them up.
The couple first stepped out Friday night at the Killers concert at the Hard Rock Hotel, where they kissed in the crowd and Hirsch swept Trachtenberg off her feet as the band launched into their hit "Mr. Brightside."
Oh, pluuuuueeeeeeese! If this isn't contrived and cliché'd, I don't know what is. By the way, he doesn't actually have enough upper body strength to do this since she weighs in at about 120 lbs. and he isn't exactly Arnold Schwartzenegger.
Later that evening, the two headed to Caesars' Palace's Pure Nightclub, dancing to tunes spun by DJ AM.
DJ AM? Another in-joke since she was "coupled up" with this guy by the press some time ago. There's another contrived part of this story. Her "alleged ex" DJ at a club where she and her new "love" are at.
On Saturday, they hit the Venetian's Tao Nightclub for the Oceanaut Watch party. "They stayed by each other's sides all night and they were making out all night," says a witness.
No, she wasn't. He got his facts wrong. She was at Wayne Brady's birthday party. Wireimage has the photos.
A source close to Trachtenberg tells PEOPLE the couple first met two years ago, but got reacquainted about six months ago and have been quietly dating.
They weren't dating six months ago. She was actually seeing someone else.
While Trachtenberg lives in Los Angeles, "She's becoming bicoastal and spending a lot more time in New York to be with him," says the source. "She wants to be really low-key about the relationship since this is the first time she's dated someone who is not in the business."
She's been spending a lot of time in Los Angeles. She went to New York to see a play and visit her father and sister as well as spend time with friends. She went to the opening of a play and some fashion event there. Notice the use of "a source close to Michelle said"..
Trachtenberg previously dated X2 actor Shawn Ashmore. Her rep did not return calls for comment about the new relationship.
Her rep didn't call back because the rumor is ridiculous and false.
At the Killers concert, Trachtenberg kept mum about her romance, but told PEOPLE: "I love Las Vegas. It's Sin City and there's a lot of fun to be had."
She didn't say anything because she doesn't discuss her private life. She has said in many interviews that the dating rumors about her are false and that the rumors upset her. She was in Las Vegas to unwind after a long shooting schedule.
The guy who wrote this is probably an out of work script writer who needed to pay last month's rent. What a buffoon. The whole story sounds like a very bad script.

No matter what Michelle does she is hot. I wish there were more photos of her smoking, she is an extremly sexy smoker. I don't think it is possible she can do wrong, it just isn't.
