Over the weekend, Kate Bosworth and Alexander Skarsgard set tongues wagging with their appearance at the Scream Awards. According to sources, they were “very affectionate” and “holding hands as Alexander played with Kate’s hair while they chatted with friends in the green room.” Kate even “playfully slapped him on his butt a few times.” Is it getting hot in here? Anyhoodle, that got many of us thinking… is Kate Bosworth worthy of Alexander Skarsgard? Are they even hooking up for real? Is it love?

According to the tabloids, it was a real hookup. Star reports that after the awards show, “they hopped into a car together, escaping from prying eyes at the Chateau Marmont.” Just so you know, Chateau Marmont equals crazy sex/orgy/drugs/fun. In Touch also reported that Kate has been trying to get into Alexander’s pants for a while, as they worked on Straw Dogs the past few months. In Touch’s sources claim: “They’re definitely dating… Kate was absolutely trying to make sure everyone knew that she was with him. They were very touchy-feely with one another. He was holding her hand, and they were giggly and getting close.”

While I thought Kate seemed like a nice enough person, I didn’t really know enough about her to make an informed opinion. Since the Alexander incident, though, I’ve been reading some sketchy stuff about her. Lainey, for one, thinks Kate has some issues:

If you’re an Alex Skarsgard fan, this is not something you should be happy about. Because Kate Bosworth…well… she has some issues. In addition to the non-existent relationship with food, there are also those loud rumours alleging the use of appetite suppressants. In powder form, of course.

There is nothing solid to suggest they are dating, but she is willing it. Hard. It’s her method.

My sources tell me as of 3 weeks ago, Skarsgard was still with Evan Rachel Wood. What their status is right this minute is unknown. But Kate has supposedly been working it relentlessly on set, tearfully pretending to lean on him for support every time she gets into an argument with that nefarious model James Rousseau with whom she’s had an on/off romance the last 3 years. Kate pulled the same sh-t with Jim Sturgess during production for 21. His serious girlfriend didn’t seem to deter her. Jim however, sweetie, was unresponsive to her wiles.

Remains to be seen about Alex.

Meanwhile Stacie, who is a certified Orlando Bloom-loonie and official friend of Celebitchy, also has some thoughts about Kate. According to Stacie, I shouldn’t even get her started on Kate, because “she was much hated in the Orlando Bloom fandom for being a famewhore. My biggest beef with her was that she used her skeletal skinniness to get attention.” Stacie also claims that “Kate was allegedly on the short list to be Tom Cruise’s next wife, only she lost out to Katie Holmes.” Meow! I had never heard that stuff about Tom Cruise and Bosworth – I did, however, hear it about Scarlett Johansson. Here’s my question – why kind of girl does Alexander Skarsgard really like? He seems to have weird taste in women, if his hookups with Evan Rachel Wood and Kate are any indication.
