Nice to see Jessica Szohr and British actor Ed Westwick’s on/off relationship is in full swing after their apparent break-up back in April, which according to reports left Westwick ‘heartbroken’.

One close source revealed: “Jessica had been seen flirting with one of Bass’s friends recently, heir Marco Minuto at her birthday party in Los Angeles and apparently she returned to the same hotel with him that night.”

The Gossip Girl stars that began dating in 2008 have often played down their romance, but the smooching couple looked completely in love again earlier today as they canoodled at the US Open in New York, sat in a private box shared with with celebrity tennis fans John Legend and Kanye West.

I saw Jessica a few weeks back at the birthday bash of top model agent Rosie Niku, where she told me she was really happy with her life. Now it all makes sense as to why she had the biggest smile on her face as she was telling me, even though I had secretly suspected Ed was back on the scene.

Whatever happened last April clearly hasn’t had a lasting effect and after seeing this extreme case of PDA the relationship is definitely back on!

Good luck to the happy couple, this public furor wins more browny points with me than Jessica’s dire role in Piranha 3D… Oops, sorry Jess!

Eve Hewson, the daughter of Irish singer and U2 frontman Bono, is quietly establishing her career as an up-and-coming actress.

First appearing in a U2 concert video for Beautiful Day in 2002, Hewson was later cast in a small film called The 27 Club that was released in 2008. More recently, Hewson landed a role in the more prominent dramatic film titled This Must Be the Place starring Sean Penn and Frances McDormand, to be distributed in 2011.

Hewson can next be seen in another music video alongside a very famous Irish band, but this time it won’t be U2. The 18-year-old will be featured in the video for The Script’s newest song called For the First Time, in which she is to play a homesick Irish girl. Danny O’Donoghue (pictured center), the lead singer of The Script, said: “It was the director’s idea to approach Eve. We’d seen her showreel and she’s a fellow Irish person, so we thought, ‘Yeah’.”

The single For the First Time is expected to debut later this September and will be followed by the release of The Script’s sophomore album, Science & Faith, not long thereafter.

Cheers to the elevation of your career Eve! I hope you don’t get vertigo up there!

The best thing Kelly Osbourne ever did was appearing on US telly’s Dancing With The Stars; it’s changed her life! Last night Kelly, now 3 stone lighter got to show off her fabulous new figure as she took to the stage to perform a sexy (yes, I did say SEXY!) burlesque version of Hey Big Spender with Carmen Electra and The Pussycat Dolls at the Viper Room in Los Angeles.

Dressed in a sparkly bra, black PVC corset, fishnets and tiny hotpants Kelly told fans as she arrived: ‘It’s going to be me, Carmen Electra, Mya and some of the other Dolls singing and dancing. I’m doing a song called 13 Men as well as Big Spender. It’s the first time I’ve really danced since filming Dancing with the Stars, but it’s so different. This isn’t stiff ballroom – it’s slinky and sexy!’

I’m loving Kelly’s new found confidence, especially after the heartache she endured after splitting with ex-fiancé, model Luke Worrall, it seems Kell’ clearly has her life back on track and who’d have thought Miss O’ could have ever been capable of stealing the limelight from Carmen Electra and The Pussy Cat Dolls… And for all the right reasons too, good on ya, girl!

As movie stars from Hollywood and around the world gather in Venice, Italy for the annual Venice Film Festival, Russell Brand and Dame Helen Mirren anticipate the premiere of their film The Tempest, which also stars English actor Alfred Molina. The film, directed by American director Julie Taymore and based on William Shakespeare’s play of the same name about the struggle between a brother and sister with mystical powers, is scheduled to be screened on the closing night of this year’s festival.

The debut of The Tempest will follow a crowd of movies that are to be screened, as almost 80 films are expected to premiere during the festival’s 11-day run. Although The Tempest is not being entered into the festival’s competition, 22 of the films being screened are in contention for the Golden Lion.

This is exactly the type of film I would expect to see Mirren and Molina in, but I must confess I was a little surprised to learn that Brand will be featured in such an artistic project. From St. Trinian’s to Shakespeare, Russell’s career certainly has come a long way in the last three years. Still, we will have to wait until the final day of the festival to see just how well his performance is received…

My phone has not stopped ringing this morning with the news that my mate Simon Cowell is hot-tipping Russell Brand’s fiancé, Katy Perry to become a judge on his new up-coming US talent show X Factor.

My inside spies hinted that the Hot ‘n’ Cold singer who previously stepped in as a judge on American Idol after former judge Paula Abdul exited the show, impressed Cowell that much that an offer could be going out to Perry very soon.

I’m told the sexy singer, who is set to wed funnyman Brand in October is secretly thrilled, and I hear the paycheck isn’t half bad either… If a deal is struck Katie could receive as much as $300,000 a show.

I can totally see Katie doing this job after she won the UK public’s approval as a judge on X Factor UK, and though there a many names currently in the frame, my money is on Katy landing this one!

Simon certainly knows how to pick em, but does that mean Cheryl Cole is out of the running? I wonder… !

George Craig, the lead vocalist of Brit indie rock band One Night Only, insists he and Harry Potter actress Emma Watson are merely close friends.

The two “friends” reportedly met on the set of a Burberry photo shoot, back when Watson was representing the high end clothing brand. At the time, Craig was being featured in an advertising campaign for a Burberry fragrance. The two were also later linked to each other after Watson appeared in the music video for One Night Only‘s latest single, Say You Don’t Want It.

However, at the recent UK Reading Festival, the young musician denied being romantically involved with Watson when he said: “It doesn’t really matter what I say, I’m always going to say we’re just friends and we are, we’re just really good friends.” The singer added: “Emma’s a great person and I don’t mind talking about her, I’ve got a lot of respect for her, she’s great.”

Even if it was for one night only, I have five words for you George… say you don’t want it!

After Brit DJ Samantha Ronson‘s dog Cadillac, mauled and killed her neighbor’s 3-pound Maltese terrier Tiger earlier this week, Ronson has been forced to ship the bulldog off to stay with friends on the East Coast.

Now however, the Department of Animal Care and Control are looking into the incident, and Ronson could be charged, as a criminal investigation is underway to determine the cause of Tiger’s death.

An unidentified witness claims that the attack happened “in the hallway” of Sam’s West Hollywood apartment early Monday morning when Ronson was sleeping.

Now inside sources are saying that the dog will probably have to be put down as rumors swirl that Cadillac allegedly previously bit another dog in the building, which led Ronson to send him to a three-week dog boot camp for socialization.

Lindsay Lohan’s ex -Ronson tweeted her regret yesterday via her Twitter page. ‘I feel incredibly sad and wish I could offer more than condolences.

‘Unfortunately there are no words to describe how sorry I am,’ she wrote. ‘There’s nothing I can say that will alter one minute of today, nothing.’

Bad luck Sam… Now let’s hope little Miss Poe-Face Ronson finds a bit of humility, as she too is often not the most approachable of beasts… Meow, Woof!!!

Osbourne and Rivers will also be joined by stylist George Kotsiopoulos as they discuss and critique celebrity fashion choices.

Regarding her job as co-host, Osbourne said: “It’s a dream come true… and I can’t f**king wait to work with Joan Rivers every week. How amazing is my life right now?”

In related news, Sharon and Ozzie’s daughter has also snagged her first major movie role in a film called Should Have Been Romeo, and via Twitter wrote: “i got my first movie roll we have been in rehearsals for a week and i start filming on wednesday i could not be happier!the movie is called “Should have been Romeo” its a comedy and i play the role of nicole who is a crazy groupie! its amazingly funny
