Hollywood Crush › Justin Long

Chic meets geek? Word on the street is that "Gossip Girl" fashionista Leighton Meester and adorable actor Justin Long might be (dare we say it?) a thing. We didn't see it coming either, but the more we think about it, this could be totally adorable—and besides, since when do PDA lie?

People reports that the pair were spotted holding hands (go ahead, let your inner fourth grader gasp) at La Poubelle in Hollywood where they were dining together. And we're not talking buddies grabbing a quick bite to eat—according to reports, the meal lasted for two hours and Leighton and Justin hung around the restaurant until after midnight. Long dinner. Late night. Sweet-but-subtle PDA. If it looks like a date and acts like a date, right?

The down-to-earth stars kept their (alleged) date fan-friendly, an onlooker reported. "They were happily willing to talk to fans who approached them."

There seems to be an encore in the works for "The Last Song" co-stars Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, who are rumored to be back together according to E! Online.

The can't-seem-to-make-up-their-minds couple met on the set of the 2009 Nicholas Sparks film and went through a few rounds of break up/make up before calling it quits again last fall. Now it looks as though the twosome is back on, however—Liam plans to accompany Miley on the Australian leg of her Gypsy Heart tour this June.

With a tenuous track record like theirs, it's hard to say if Miley and Liam will last this time, but we're certainly rooting for them (such a cute couple!). And it's not like Miley and Liam are alone—lots of our favorite couples have played a little yo-yo with our hearts, going back and forth before reconciling—or calling it quits—for good. Here are some of the couples that have had us on the edge of our seats.

Typically when you hear an actor or actress wants to try their hand at something new—be it singing or producing or starting a line of perfumes and colognes—most of the time it's hard not to think, 'Don't quit your day job!'

But when it comes to someone like the uber-talented Drew Barrymore, we can't help but get excited about her latest venture, be it on or off-screen. After directing 2009's underrated, kick-butt roller derby movie "Whip It," Drew will, thankfully be heading behind the camera once more, this time for a genre that's even more up her alley: romantic comedies!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Drew, who was last seen in the funny romance-from-afar flick "Going The Distance," will be at the helm of "How To Be Single," the big-screen adaptation of the novel by the same name that "explores the loves lives and break-ups of a group of New Yorkers over the course of 10 years." There's no word yet on whether Drew will also star in the movie.

Though we never need an excuse to watch a romantic comedy or support Drew Barrymore, we wanted to share three big reasons why we think this pairing is going to be a match made in movie heaven:

Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth. Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied. LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian. Ginnifer Goodwin and Joey Kurn. Even Hugh Hefner got engaged over Christmas weekend. We appreciate all this love in the air after that depressing streak of splits, but we didn't know Hollywood was so affected by the holiday spirit!

Let's keep this passion alive! More and more celebs are looking to make their way down the aisle with each passing day, so we've compiled our wish list of Hollywood couples we hope pop the question after the jump. Who knows, maybe one of our wishes will come true?

This is a rare treat. We heard about Channing Tatum's upcoming pet project "Ten Year" back in August, when it was revealed that he was shopping around a flick about a 10-year high school reunion that would hopefully involve his wife, Jenna Dewan, Anna Faris, Chris Pratt and Chris Pine. Well, a director's test has just surfaced at Deadline. The short vignette, called "The Envelope In The Glovebox," seems to be something producer Temple Hill is sending around to industry types in the hopes of drumming up funding.

The short follows Channing and Jenna, his girlfriend in the clip, as he heads to his high school reunion and contemplates proposing to Jenna with a ring he's hidden, where else?, in his car's glovebox. Kate Mara, Haylie Duff and "The Hurt Locker's" Brian Geraghty also appear in the clip. Deadline said that, though he was not included in the clip, Justin Long is looking to be brought on board, as well.

We've all done some pretty crazy things for love, right? (Please tell me I'm not alone!) And as well-intentioned and meaningful as these heartfelt gestures are, well, sometimes they don't go as smoothly as planned. If it's any consolation, even stars aren't immune to flirtation faux pas. When we sat down with on-again, off-again couple (or non-couple) Drew Barrymore and Justin Long to chat about their new movie "Going the Distance" (out Friday), they had a few cringe-worthy stories of their own to share.

"I once got sent an e-mail that was written in a sarcastic tone, but the person buried the lead and didn't say he was joking," Barrymore recalled of an ex's missive. "So everything in it was as horrible as you can imagine. That wasn't funny. That was a really poorly executed romantic gesture. I remember another boyfriend, he bought me a cameo [pendant], and he said it reminded him of me. And I thought, 'This old, silhouetted lady reminds you of me? Huh. OK.'"

From Drew Barrymore to Christina Applegate, the stars stepped out in their finest last night for the L.A. premiere of "Going The Distance". Check out our fashion recap below to see which gals (and guys!) impressed us and which ones left something more to be desired.

Drew rocked her best last night in a golden Catherine Malandrino dress paired with a black belt. We thought the dress gave her some added glow and her hair looked fab (although we definitely weren't fans of the platforms!). Drew was joined on the red-carpet by co-star and soon-to-be mom Christina who wore a demure (and quite lovely!) violet dress. We loved the color and her simple up-do.

Big news today: "Going The Distance" has been pushed back a week to be released on September 3 instead of August 27. You might find yourself asking, "What movie is that?" to which we can only answer, "Exactly." If "Going The Distance" has had a marketing campaign set to rival the other big August romance releases like "Eat Pray Love" and "The Switch," then we have yet to see it.

Is it a big deal that "Going The Distance" has been pushed back a week? Not really. The only other big film that is coming out that day is "Machete," which also hasn't had the biggest marketing campaign to speak of and is aiming for an entirely different audience.

It's always a blast for the audience when two stars who are in love film a romantic movie together. Case in point: "The Notebook." "Cruel Intentions" and "The Last Song." The sexual energy is just a little bit higher, and the intimate moments are just that much more realistic, and the romance off screen really lends itself to making a believable story on screen.

So, needless to say, we're pretty excited about Drew Barrymore and Justin Long's "Going The Distance." Since we spotted the two of them making out on the set back in October, and learned that Charlie Day and Christina Applegate would be joining the cast, we've been anxiously awaiting the trailer for the film, due out August 27. Well, that day has finally come.

Leonardo DiCaprio has joined a long list of celebs who are working with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) Action Fund to urging Americans to get Congress to pass the Clean Energy, Jobs and American Power Act currently pending in the Senate. This campaign has become quite a hot topic, supported by many other celebrities including Chace Crawford, Jason Bateman, Felicity Huffman, Justin Long, Edward Norton, Emmy Rossum and Forest Whitaker.

So, what exactly is the bill about? The organization recently posted a video starring Leo (pres play above), urging viewers to e-mail their senators and ask them to pass the bill that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, create green-energy jobs and create a cap-and-trade program.
