Man. Either Kristin Cavallari really wants to stick it to Audrina Patridge, or The Hills producers are really working overtime to stir up the contrived drama we love.

The fake relationship of Kristin and Justin-Bobby Brescia has been a primary focal point this season. Justin-Bobby, of course, is Audrina Patridge's dirtbag ex.

She's moved on now, though. To Tal Cooperman, who also dated Audrina.

“It’s brand new. They’re having a lot of fun enjoying getting to know each other better,” says a source of Kristin and Tal, co-owner of DCMA Collective clothing.

“It’s not for the show. They hit it off and have been hanging out off-camera.”

All together now: Yeah, right!

Kristin Cavallari clearly has a type: Guys who have once hit it with Audrina Patridge, who MTV conveniently gives her the phone numbers of and pays her to pursue.

According to sources, Cooperman and Cavallari enjoyed a date night Thursday in Los Angeles, where they were spotted partying at an ESPN bash. Fun.

They also shared a sushi dinner at Nobu and kissing at West Hollywood hotspot Voyeur, where we're sure they tried to keep an extremely low profile.

“[Kristin Cavallari and Tal Cooperman] were making out on one of the club’s VIP stages after midnight,” says a clubgoer. “They were all over each other.”

The duo made sure to keep things under wraps (yeah, right, again!)  by leaving the club separately ... but only after sealing their night with a kiss. HOT.

We wish this new couple all the best. Although we don't expect it will last that long. Call us crazy. Give it a few weeks and she'll be with Corey Bohan.

This should put the rumors to rest.

The Hills' Audrina Patridge was spotted kissing her new man, Tal Cooperman, at the opening of bowling lane Strike Orange County in Tustin, Calif.

Tal Cooperman - who co-owns the DCMA Collective clothing line with close friends Joel Madden and brother Benji Madden - kept their PDA low-key and bowled with a posse including Audrina's tattooed sister, Casey Patridge.

Tal Cooperman and Audrina Patridge: Dating!

Justin-Bobby Brescia could not be reached for comment on the new couple. Nor would we be able to understand his mumbling even if he were available.

Though Audrina Patridge didn't hang out with Hills co-stars Lauren Conrad, Lauren Bosworth and Whitney Port, who were all on hand, she sent over a round of shots. So at least they're still on sort of good terms.

Taking a break from her Hills filming duties, Audrina Patridge spent last night living it up on Hollywood Boulevard - with Tal Cooperman.

Who is Tal Cooperman? He works with Benji and Joel Madden on their DCMA clothing line, which The Hills star has been known to frequent.

After dinner, the pair hit up Avalon nightclub. Tal trailed behind her a bit, trying to avoid attention from celebrity photo agencies.

This was not the first time Audrina Patridge and Tal Cooperman have been spotted together. The photo above is actually from back in March!

We're not sure if we believe they're really dating, because Justin-Bobby has also been spotted with Audrina Patridge very recently. What's going on with that guy?

We do guess that Tal Cooperman probably showers more and mumbles less than J-Bobby. We base that on gut instinct, but come on, the odds are pretty good.
