With the end of Twilight, I sort of forgot about poor Ashley Greene. She’s still hustlin’ though, and she’s still doing pap-walks and tipping off the tabloids about her whereabouts and her dating life. These are photos of Ashley from Sunday in Studio City – she was wandering around with her new boyfriend.

First of all, check out his whole ensemble. Obviously, those pants are disgusting. If you’re a dude and you’re banging Ashley Greene and you know she’s going to call the paparazzi for a photo-op, would it kill you to wear a pair of sweatpants that aren’t soiled? I’m not sure if that moisture is sweat or… something else. WTF was he doing to get his pants wet in those areas?

As for the identity of Mr. Dirty Pants, his real name is Paul Khoury and he’s friends with Liam Hemsworth. That’s the whole point of this story that Ashley Greene’s publicist must have handed to Us Weekly:

Team Cyrus or Hemsworth? Miley Cyrus’ former LOL costar Ashley Greene is dating her ex-fiance Liam Hemsworth’s best friend Paul Khoury, a source confirms to Us Weekly.

The 26-year-old Twilight actress and the Australian TV personality were photographed holding hands while going out for lunch together at Vivian’s Cafe in Studio City, Calif on Sunday, Sept. 29. Greene, wearing a light T-shirt, jeans and black boots, had a smile on her face while walking with Khoury, who dressed casually in a black tank top and grey sweatpants.

“They are dating,” a source tells Us, but added that it isn’t “that serious” just yet.

The couple’s casual lunch outing, however, sparked engagement rumors. Despite the casual ensemble, Greene wore a large diamond ring on her left ring finger. A second source tells Us that they are dating, “but not engaged.”

Khoury was famously photographed in a car with Cyrus, 20, leaving a house party in North Hollywood on March 7. At the time, the “We Can’t Stop” singer’s relationship with Hemsworth, 23, was on the rocks and she wasn’t wearing her engagement ring. Earlier this month, a source tells Us Khoury celebrated his birthday in Las Vegas with Greene and Hemsworth.

During a March 2011 interview with Teen Vogue, Greene said she bonded with costar Cyrus, who was just 18 at the time, while filming the 2012 comedy LOL. “She’s young, but we could relate to each other because she’s probably been through as much as a 40-year-old!” she explained.

Greene has been through a lot in her own relationships with hunks like Reeve Carney, Jared Followill and Joe Jonas. In the November 2012 issue of Manhattan magazine, she shared what she’s looking for in a man. “You need someone who is going to help you make that better version of yourself,” Greene said. “I need someone who is strong but supportive and who loves me — someone who isn’t afraid to call me on my s–t.”

Sure. Okay. Ashley is flashing a non-engagement engagement ring to get people talking while the guy is wearing dirty sweatpants and ripped shoes. This boyfriend rollout feels really budget, right? Like, I think Ashley is a straight-up D-list hustler, but even I think she could do better than an un-famous friend of Liam Hemsworth. Considering where Liam Hemsworth’s career is right now, Ashley could have totally managed to get him for a nice little two-month fling. Maybe that’s Ashley’s long-term plan… today it’s Mr. Soiled Pants, tomorrow it will be Liam Hemsworth.

PS… The blonde really does not suit her at all. She looks like Sarah Jessica Parker!
