Grant and Hurley Spend the Night Together imdb.com Former lovers Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley have spent the night together, after sharing an intimate meal at the model's English country home. The pair, who dated for 13 years before splitting in 2000, were spotted preparing for dinner, buying tasty organic produce at a Cotswold farm shop on Tuesday - and they weren't seen again until the next morning when Grant sped from Hurley's drive in his black Mercedes with the Estee Lauder beauty and her son Damian in the back seat. Last year Grant insisted he and Hurley - who is currently dating Indian businessman Arun Nayar - would never get back together. He said, "She's with another guy and, you know, we're good friends. But, no that train has sailed, as Austin Powers would say."

By the way, love your pic Temptrous

What a surprise.

They sure did a good job of covering her up in the final Friends episodes, if you didn't know already would never have noticed.

Rumor had it that Brittany and Ashton were just a PR stunt for their movie, hence the heavy PDA. Think her engagement to Jeff was to just stop the Ashton questions?? He is a talent manager after all....

Perhaps he should just reconsider what countries he biked through.

CHAOS BEHIND THE GLASS WALLSPage SixTHE soaring glass façades of the twin Richard Meier towers at the western end of Perry Street hide a snakepit of construction delays, water leaks and ugly squabbles between such neighbors as Nicole Kidman, Calvin Klein and Martha Stewart."You won't believe what's going on in these buildings," director Vincent Gallo told Vanity Fair. "It's a microcosm of everything ugly in human beings - beautiful, beautiful architecture desecrated by scandal, greed, conniving and gluttony."Several buyers have had to live in hotels for weeks at a time because they had no heat or because water was cascading from the roof. Several have had to replace their rosewood floors. Some buyers sold before moving in, and one-third of the units are now on the market.One issue arose because floors in the south tower are substantially larger and go for about $4 million each while floors in the north tower are as low as $2 million. "We call it the Poor Persons' Tower," one resident joked. The board is dominated by the south tower folks, who promptly doubled the maintenance from $2,000 per apartment per month to $4,000."Gallo was not alone among those in the north tower in feeling that the dramatic rise in maintenance charges was an insupportable act of autocracy by the ultra-wealthy people in the south tower," report VF's Vicky Ward."I fail to see how this is not going to go before [state Attorney General] Eliot Spitzer," said Joe Castaldo, a textiles magnate who lives two floors above Gallo.Several residents are furious because their downstairs neighbors have refused to give them permission to drill through the floor to move plumbing pipes.Many other residents are angry at Rita Schrager, ex-wife of hotelier Ian Schrager , because she put up curtains in violation of building by-laws which stipulate the installation of electronic white window coverings in every apartment to give the facade a uniform appearance. Gallo says Schager's curtains look like "little Bombay."The glass-clad buildings have suffered several gunshots, requiring window replacement. And there are gawkers. Hugh Jackman , who rents the sixth floor of the south tower for $35,000 a month, "has swifty become the building's biggest attraction . . . one person in the north tower says that he has friends who come over just to watch, through binoculars, the actor stride around his apartment."
