Adam Brody
Gossip

With his ex-girlfriend, Rachel Bilson, having moved on to Hayden Christensen, it's nice to see Adam Brody on the dating scene again.

The former star of The OC is rumored to be spending a lot of romantic time with his Justice League of America co-star, Teresa Palmer. In the upcoming comic book adaption, Brody portrays The Flash, while Palmer is Talia Al Ghul.

The new couple was reportedly seen holding hands and cuddling up over dinner at Lotus restaurant in Australia's Potts Point on Saturday night.

"They were just the sweetest couple and couldn't stop holding each others hand the whole time," a witness relayed. "He signed a menu for a waiter and they posed for a pic, but otherwise they were just really cool about being there together."

Brody and Palmer join other rumored new pairings this week, such as Pete Doherty and Portia Freeman.

We know it's been a few months their break-up, but Rachel Bilson may still be stung by the following news about her ex-boyfriend:

Adam Brody may have found a new, young, pretty gal to be all witty and sarcastic with.

While it's all just celebrity gossip at this point, the former star of The OC was seen out recently with Hostel II actress Lauren German. The two were very cozy the other night at the Tower Grove Villa in Beverly Hills, according to a spy.

They arrived together for a DJ battle sponsored by Reebok and Vitaminenergy, and "Adam spent the entire night with Lauren. He was caressing her back and refused to be photographed with her," the source reported.

And you know what they say: First the back... next the front!

We heard that's how Spencer Pratt nabbed Heidi Montag, at least.

Kirsten Dunst is one wild, single gal these days. According to the New York Daily News, Jake Gyllenhaal's ex has been trying to drown her sorrows by living it up - and she certainly gets an "A" for effort, if you know what we're saying.

We're saying she's been linked to three gentlemen whose first names start with "A." All of them have some seriously shaggy hair, too!

Last Thursday, she ran into Adrian Grenier - whom the tabloids reported she hooked up with on January 20 - at a lower East Side restaurant, Freeman's. Dunst and the Entourage star were "not together, but flirting," says a Daily News spy.

Just as well, because two hours later, she was spotted tongue-wrestling with Saturday Night Live star Andy Samberg. They were at a Fashion Week kickoff party at the Box and looked awfully cozy, witnesses say.

If that's not confusing enough, Dunst was also spotted out last week - as T.H. Gossip reported - with Adam Brody, the lovable star of The OC and former star of Rachel Bilson's love life. Lucky bastard.

Here's a quick reference guide to Dunst's shaggy trio of suitors (left-to-right): Adrian Grenier, Adam Brody and Andy Samberg...

T.H. Gossip called this one from the start.

Or maybe we just enjoyed gazing lovingly at Rachel Bilson pictures so much that we somehow hoped it would happen, much as we believe Adam Brody to be a good guy.

Regardless, we have learned that Bilson and Adam Brody have split. The two haven't been seen together for a while, and Life & Style Weekly confirms the on- and off-screen lovebirds, who play a cute couple on The OC and have also dated in real life since 2004, have split.

"They've been done for a few weeks," a friend close to the couple says.

No, that friend is not Zach Braff. Not a chance.

"They are just done. That's all there is to it. There's no drama. They just ended it."

In other words, it's the polar opposite of the Spears-Federline split, in which we've been exposed to everything from Britney's crotch to stories of K-Fed railing the living crap out of some porn star. Not to mention an unhealthy dose of the erstwhile ho train.

The Brody-Bilson bust-up may explain why Adam showed up solo to a party on November 28 for the U.S. premiere of Volkswagen's concept car Tiguan in LA.

"He was definitely acting like a single guy," an eyewitness tells Life & Style.

According to nightlife insiders in L.A., he's been seeing less of Rachel Bilson in PJs and more of ladies at the clubs with his guy friends.

Publicists for the two would not comment on the breakup. Rachel, if you're reading this, half the T.H. Gossip staff is single. Just saying.

Many guys seem to be in the running for the adorable affections of Rachel Bilson. And can you blame them?

First, of course, there's her actual boyfriend; if, indeed, OC co-star, Adam Brody, still wears that title. The pair hasn't been seen in public in a few weeks and the FOX show sucks.

Also, certain gossip rags have been spreading the rumor that Bilson and Zach Braff may have hit it off a little too well on the set of The Last Kiss. Someone might wanna check his scrubs.

Meanwhile, here's the latest Rachel report: Life & Style magazine states that Bilson has been seen in public with former *NSync member, JC Chasez. On September 19, the publication alleges, the duo even went on a double date with Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz.

Let's hope JT didn't bust up any camera men during the evening.

Let's also also Bilson is still weighing her options. If so, forget 1-888-OOPS-JEW, Rach. Try 1-888-TH-GOSSIP.

The Gossip loves Rachel Bilson. How can anyone not adore such a cutie?

But the actress may have her hands full these days ... of hot man love! Everyone knows that Bilson and co-star Adam Brody have been an item for almost as long as their OC characters - Seth and Summer - have been dating.

They seem awfully happy. But can anyone woman resist the innocent charm of Zach Braff? Having starred alongside Bilson in the recent release, The Last Kiss, Braff looks as comfortable as Brody with her in the images below, doesn't he?

We're not saying Rachel is wearing Zach's Scrubs (if you know what we mean!), but we're not saying she isn't, either.

If the Bilson and Brody relationship is coming to an end, however, we hope it's a more pleasant conclusion than that of The OC in this, its final season. Gosh, it's become awful.

Not to steal a saying from a nosy magazine The Gossip is far superior than, but: celebrities, they're just like us! They walk their dogs!

No, we're not talking about when the handlers of Travis Barker let him out of his cage. We mean actual canines and their famous owners. Just take a look:

What happens when your girlfriend is named the new Wonder Woman? You're relegated to dog walker, of course. Adam Brody seems content to saunter along with he and Rachel Bilson's puppy, however.

Breathtaking AND down to earth? We already knew Jessica Biel was the former, but eschewing the use of any dog walker speaks largely to the latter quality, as well.

Returning frm a trip, Hilary Duff has all the essentials: suitcase, bucket hat, adorable puppy.

The seven remaining fans of The O.C. will recall that in Season 2, lovable geek Seth Cohen (played by Adam Brody) created his own comic book, "Atomic County." Now, in a case of art imitating life, Brody is teaming up with Danny Bilson (the father of Adam's O.C. co-star and real-life girlfriend, Rachel Bilson) and Paul DeMeo to pen a series called "Red Menace" for WildStorm, an imprint of DC Comics.

"As much as I love comics, writing one wasn't something I ever thought about doing. Danny brought it up, so I thought it would be fun, and it has been. I've had a blast," Brody said.

Set in '50s-era Los Angeles, "Red Menace" is centered around a blacklisted hero named The Eagle and the superpowered youth he takes under his wing.

According to TV Guide, the story was hatched after Bilson and Brody started talking about the 1976 film The Front, which starred Woody Allen as a cashier who agrees to be a front for blacklisted writers.

"I said, ‘Why don't we just do that, but as a comic?'" Brody recalled.

According to Bilson, the 26-year-old actor also came up with the idea of introducing a younger hero into the story.

"We all contributed different parts to the idea, but in a certain way, I feel like Paul and I own the older guy and Adam owns the younger guy," Bilson said.

Marissa Cooper is dead. Might her friends and family be next?

As The O.C. limps into 2006-2007 on FOX, the network isn't showing very much faith in the drama. Only 16 new episodes have been ordered for the show's fourth season. The basis for this decrease in output?

It's largely the major competition that Seth, Summer and other Newport residents will be facing on Thursday nights. Aside from CSI returning to its 9 p.m. time slot, ABC has moved juggernaut, Grey's Anatomy, opposite The O.C., as well.

Combine these hits with the severe drop in ratings the FOX series faced last season - although it still averaged a respectable 5.7 million viewers a week - and there's little wonder why the show may soon be joining Marissa in entertainment heaven.

For those who still care, look for Adam Brody, Rachel Bilson and others to return on November 2, after FOX is finished airing The World Series.

The OC may suck, but one good thing appears to have come out of the one-time enjoyable FOX drama: Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody. B-squared and all its glory were on display last week at Memphis, a southernrestaurant on Hollywood Boulevard

Well-known chef, Yossi, was cooking up delights and proceeds were benefitting the Los Angeles Mission. This young, happy couple joined the festivies, along with Dustin Hoffman and former Lost castaway Michelle Rodriguez.

Bilson commented on her own culinary skills:

"I love to cook. I'm learning more and more," she said. "I've mastered turkey meatloaf recently. You gotta start somewhere, right?"

Brody will probably take any home-cooked meal he can get. Meanwhile, Bilson dished up more than mere cooking thoughts. She advised celebrity couples who wished to remain out of the spotlight with the straightforward advice of, "don't go everywhere together."

Makes sense to us. Of course, you can probably take out the last word when it comes to Britney's worse half: Just don't go anywhere, K-Fed.
