Two months after the release of his raunchy homemade sex tape busted their relationship, actor/singer/swordsman Ray J is back on the ins with Whitney Houston.
TMZ cameras
caught the giddy pair last night on their way out of a romantic dinner at the posh Crustacean restaurant in Beverly Hills, the first time the couple's been spotted since Houston reportedly kicked him to the curb over his
X-rated video exploits with former GF, Kim Kardashian.
The cause for Houston's sudden change of heart is unknown -- maybe she saw the tape!

Michelle Trachtenberg doesn't want to be spotted with Nicky Hilton's sloppy seconds -- running from cameras to avoid being photographed with "Entourage" star Kevin Connolly.
The new couple were at Turner's Liquor Store on Sunset Strip, where sources tell TMZ they were making out before going in to shop. The instant Trachtenberg spotted cameras on them,
she bolted -- making a mad sprint for Connolly's car and hiding with her head down in the front seat.
Connolly remained calm and was far more comfortable with the cameras. See, dating a Hilton gives you something!

If Jessica Alba and Cash Warren broke up, someone forgot to tell them, or they're already back together.
TMZ spotted the couple -- who were widely rumored to have split -- holding hands outside Mastro's last night. The fantastically curved "Fantastic Four" star hid behind both her man and her purse as boyfriend Cash Warren protected his baby by taking gum out of his mouth and
hurling it at photogs. Butch!
Alba looked pleased -- cracking a smile at the paparazzo's expense.

R&B superhottie
Rihanna was spotted on a dinner date with "You Got Served" actor
Omarion last night-- but she says she's not his shorty. Oh no?
The two have been a rumored item, and TMZ caught them leaving Mastro's steakhouse in Beverly Hills -- just minutes apart -- coincidence? Maybe, but still meaty.
While Omarion wasn't talking, the Barbados bombshell
denied the gossip, telling our cameras they're "absolutely not" dating.
Despite the fact they left separately, sources tell TMZ they saw the pair entering the hotel where Rihanna is staying -- together! The singer is reportedly in town recording tracks for her upcoming album.

MySpace page.

Shanna Moakler was all over her no-longer-estranged hubby Travis Barker last night -- as Paris Hilton lingered nearby!
TMZ spotted the sometimes volatile couple back on the ins with each other outside of Area, with former beauty queen Moakler
drooling all over Barker as he tried to drive his pimped-out orange muscle car.
Shanna's arch rival, and Barker's rumored onetime flame Paris Hilton, was at the same party -- and left just moments after they did. No word yet of any catfights ... this time.

Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson are friends with benefits -- and TMZ has the shots to prove it!
The two have yet to admit that they're dating, with Pete denying it numerous times, saying it'd only happen in a "different universe." Apparently, worlds have collided!
Despite the efforts of several large security guards, Ash and the Fall Out Boy bassist were snapped while liplocked in a Vegas VIP booth last night, bringing the different universe to Earth's front door, which is surprisingly located at
JET Nightclub in the Mirage hotel. Someone notify
JPL!
Sources say the smooching twosome were cuddling, kissing and flirting before leaving together around 3:30 AM. Teleporting to the alternate universe was unnecessary.
Calls to Ashlee and Pete's reps were not immediately returned.

Is a reality show romance brewing off the set of "American Idol?"
TMZ cameras caught MTV and
possible sex tape star Lauren Conrad in the middle of a
hardcore flirting session with "American Idol" stud Chris Richardson outside of Les Deux nightclub Friday night.
Moments before the two met up, LC was spotted solo on her cell phone outside the club, playfully telling whoever was on the other line, "I'm so mad at you right now, hurry up!" Moments later, the Justin Timberlake knock-off arrived, much to the delight of the giddy blonde.
The two were then ushered into Les Deux, bypassing the huge line outside, where more people recognized "The Hills" star than the "Idol" crooner.

On-again-off-again couple Ashlee Simpson and Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz appear to be back on ... for now.
TMZ spotted Simpson and the tatted and eyelinered pop-out-rocker
holding hands as they entered Parc on Saturday night in West Hollywood, where the two were reportedly having a pre-Easter make out session.
We don't know if they were acting like bunnies later.

Jessica Simpson and her borefriend, whatshisname, were in Australia on Tuesday, but all eyes were on Miss Simpson as they made their way to a plane.
Jess, wearing a dress from the Mrs. Garrett collection, was stopped numerous times by fans asking for photos and autographs at Adelaide Airport, while the BF had to endure the wait ... and relative anonymity.
The rebound dude is performing at some blues festival Down Under ... and traveling with Jessica Simpson!

Paris Hilton may have found herself a new man -- "Desperate Housewives" hunk Josh Henderson.
TMZ spotted the two hand-in-hand as they exited movie theaters at Universal City Walk last night. Hilton even
kissed Henderson goodnight before hopping into her SUV ... and this isn't their first date! Paris & Josh went out last week for a party Paris' sister Nicky held for her boyfriend, mogul-son David Katzenberg, and even partied together over the weekend in Vegas. See ya later, Stavros!
When asked for comment on the relationship, Hilton rep Elliot Mintz would only say that Josh "treats Paris with great respect and dignity. He is not a 'Hollywood guy.' Paris seems very comfortable around him," When pressed to comment if Josh was her new boyfriend, he said, "Matters of that nature are only the business of the two people involved." Oh.

Robbie Williams is out of rehab and already breakin' hearts in Los Angeles.
TMZ spotted the British pop star locking lips with an unknown brunette inside BOULEVARD3 last night, and then just minutes later,
hitting on a stacked blonde outside the club.
A recently rehabbed Robbie also proclaimed, "I'm almost off all drugs," before telling the blonde, "I like this country ... not as much as I like your breasts though."
As smooth as Williams was, he still opted to go home alone.

After a night of partying at Manhattan's swanky club Butter last night, TMZ spotted former boy-bander Lance Bass leaving the nightspot with a
brand new mystery man.
A mammoth bald bodyguard escorted the two into the back of a waiting cab, which then whisked them away into the freezing cold night.
Earlier this week, TMZ spies spotted Bass in a St. Patty's Day liplock in Los Angeles. While we cant confirm that Lance's Butter bud is also his Irish kissing pal, we can confirm that Lance is
loving the
single life.

All he needed was a speculum and stirrups, and Dr. Travis Barker would've been very much in business.
The +44 drummer demonstrated his best beachside manner to formerly estranged wife, Shanna Moakler, as the recently reconciled couple basked in the Miami sun. With this snap and some further photographic evidence from Valentine's Day in Las Vegas, the pair is leaving little doubt that their war of words on MySpace has been forgotten ... clear to see by this "close examination."

Lance Armstrong has a thing for svelte ash blondes!
The seven-time Tour de France champ was married for five years to Kristin Richard (
upper left), and had some fun with rocker Sheryl Crow (
upper right), and has recently been spotted hanging out with fashion designer Tory Burch (
lower left), who
all just happen to bear a striking resemblence to each other
and to another highlighted hetero...
If Kristin, Sheryl and Tory bulked up, fried in the sun for two weeks, went on a year-long bender and shaved every smidgen of body hair, they'd be a dead ringer for Armstrong's workout buddy, the shirtless wonder himself, Matthew McConaughey (
lower right)!
Instead of
recycling his blondes, Lance might want to listen to Ms. Crow: "A change would do you good!"
Livestrong!
