KEY POINTS:

Together at last:

Mickey Rourke

is secretly dating

Courtney Love

, according to the latest gossip.

Word has it that the odd couple has been dating on the sly for at least a month, so says British tabloid the

Daily Mirror

Former Hole frontwoman Love is believed to be smitten with

Wrestler

star Rourke after he texted her asking for a hot date.

A snitch says: "

Courtney has quite a crush on Mickey and finds him utterly compelling

. They've known each other for years - she's stuck by him through the good times and the bad.

"Now he's back on the Hollywood A-list, he's gone up another notch in the desirability stakes."

The gruesome twosome reportedly met up last month for a secret date - and spent the entire evening together.

The snitch adds, "Mickey texted Courtney totally out of the blue, around the time of the Golden Globes, asking to take her out for the night. They met up in secret and had an awesome evening. Let's just say they didn't stop at holding hands and a chaste peck on the cheek."

But when the celebrity pair attended the Elle Style awards in London this week, Love gave her man the cold shoulder because of his "incessant flirting with other women," according to the tab.

Rourke was presented with an Elle Best Actor award at the bash in London, and reportedly got flirty with the 3 Am Girls at the

Mirror

However, the girls got suspicious when they said they felt "Love's eyes burning holes" in the back of their heads while he was talking to them.

They spotted Love, who won Elle Woman of the Year at the event *raise eyebrow*, texting him from across the table, so politely pointed out they didn't want to be in a "Love triangle". Get it? Punny. To which Rourke smiled and replied: "Well, what can I say, girls?

"The ladies love me and I love the ladies! Courtney's great... but so are you two!" Smooth.

Rourke reportedly tried his tired and tested chat-up lines on some other ladies at the event too.

RocknRolla

actress

Thandie Newton

was not immune to his advances, says

The Sun

"You're fit", he bellowed to Newton as he allegedly groped the actress from behind, adding: "I wouldn't kick her out of bed if she had gas." The saucy devil. You might want to run that one by her husband first.

Meanwhile, Love appears to have rekindled her war of words with arch-rival

Madonna

. Love, who is reportedly ditching her home in Los Angeles in order to shack up in a London pad, said: "Madonna had better stay the hell away from London when I move here to live!" she said.

"There's no room for us both."

Camel in the City

You have to see this. Fashion-conscious

Sarah Jessica Parker

has been caught trotting about New York town with a camel toe. No, not an unmentionable wardrobe malfunction - get your minds out of the gutter - she's been seen sporting a pair of shoes which, well, look like little camel hooves.

See for yourselves

here

Is SJP finally embracing her inner-equine?

What say you? Fashion essential or throw them in a ditch and let them rot for all eternity?

Whatevs, SJP's hooves are another lame excuse to roll out this old thing. Yes,

I know it's cruel, but SJP does look like a horse

Everyone's been talking about...

Seriously, it's time to pack away the suspenders grandma.

Talking of cradle-snatchers...

Sharon Stone

is said to be on the prowl for a new toy boy.

Sources say the

Basic Instinct

star, 50, was shamelessly flirting with

Slumdog Millionaire

star

Dev Patel

, 18, at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards on Sunday.

Patel says, "Sharon's great, she's been flirting with me all night. She was chasing me around earlier, slapping me. Sharon Stone! Can you believe it?"

Yes we can. She reportedly dated 24-year-old

Chase Dreyfous

last year before their fling tanked.
