Strange Couple Alert: Lance Armstrong & Ashley Olsen

Former child star and waif Ashley Olsen reportedly has a new, older man.

While we would normally take celebrity gossip reported by the New York Post or the New York Daily News with a grain of salt, when they're both reporting a story... you've got to at least reduce the size of that grain of salt.

The 21-year-old anorexic twin and bad dresser showed up to the Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel Monday night with ... Lance Armstrong! A Post spy said:

"They came together with a group of friends. Ashley Olsen drank red wine, sat on his lap and was making out with him all night. They left together around 2 a.m."

Ashley Olsen and Lance Armstrong: Hitting it off? 

Said a separate New York Daily News spy: "Ashley and Lance settled in and within minutes, he was whispering in her ear and she was giggling like a schoolgirl. They totally looked like they were on a date."

Sources say Lance Armstrong has been spending more time in New York City since he bought a home there recently. Another source said, "He tried to make [ex] Tory [Burch] happy when they were dating by buying a place here, but she couldn't deal with him not actually living in the same city, so they broke up."

Maybe the lesser-known of The Olsen Twins just wanted some tips on how to wear spandex well. Who knows. Also on hand? A sober Owen Wilson. Who knew!
