Hook Ups

TMZ now has clear photos of Britney Spears' new maybe boyfriend ... but the question ... does he have what it takes to date the Princess of Pop?

We spoke to several people who know David Lucado ... and they gave us a bunch of info. For starters, Dave's originally from Appomattox, Virginia. He was a great student growing up and he loves golf.

He moved to Atlanta after high school ... and recently moved to L.A. for a girl -- but we're told that relationship ended a few months ago, so David's totally single.

Everyone we spoke to said the same thing -- David is a well-liked, all-around fun-loving guy ... and it's totally unexpected that he'd date Britney Spears.

We're told David insists he and Britney are still just friends -- despite a romantic Valentine's Day dinner -- but we still gotta ask ...

Rihanna turned 25 years old yesterday ... and she celebrated by throwing on one of her smallest bikinis and hitting a jet ski in Hawaii ... with Chris Brown.

RiRi and Brown spent the whole day together ... holding hands, jetting around in the ocean ... and probably smoking weed.

Fear not men who want to bone Lindsay Lohan ... SHE'S STILL SINGLE ... despite reports that she's secretly dating / banging New York DJ Julian Cavin -- this according to the DJ himself.

The Internet's been abuzz with rumors this week that LiLo found herself a new boyfriend ... after she and the 22-year-old spin master were spotted together in NYC Sunday -- allegedly holding hands and acting very much like a couple.

But DJ Julian says it just ain't true -- claiming they've only known each other for about a month -- and tells TMZ ... "Lindsay and I are just friends. We are not dating."

He explains, "She comes to a bunch of my DJ gigs. Sunday she came and was hanging in the booth."

We now know the identity of the mystery man who took Britney Spears out for a Valentine's Day dinner and played golf with her over the weekend. He is ... a very normal guy.

His name is David. He works for a law firm -- he's not a lawyer -- does "field research" ... kind of a jack-of-all-trades. He's definitely not a wealthy guy.

David -- who is 27 -- is from Atlanta and does not seem to have significant roots in California.

As for his relationship with Britney ... we're told they met through friends. The pics (above) were taken at the Sherwood Country Club where Britney lives. He's a big golfer and he's teaching her the moves. Britney has actually taken a liking to golf and is thinking about becoming a member of the country club.

As for the Valentine's Day date, it was pretty quick. They were in and out of the sushi joint in less than a half hour. The bill was $60. David tipped $13.

Hayden Panettiere is soooo banging her ex-boyfriend Wladimir Klitschko -- just like we predicted weeks ago -- and TMZ finally has the rock-solid proof we've been waiting for ... sort of.

You'll recall, we talked to Hayden back in January at LAX -- where she insisted she and the 6'6" Ukrainian boxing champ were "just good buddies." But we had a hunch it was MUCH more than that.

And now we have the PROOF (kind of) ... because photos were snapped yesterday in Hollywood, Florida ... where the probably-back-together couple was seen cuddling on a couch at Taco Beach Shack.

Specifically in the pics ... Hayden is all smiles (and lookin' super hot) while holding Wlad's hand ... his arm is wrapped tightly around her body ... and there's obvious sexual tension.

Lil Wayne has ignited an all-out war with the Miami Heat by claiming he hooked up with Chris Bosh's wife. Anyone need 2 on the floor? 'Cause Weezy's old seats should be wide open!

Billy Bob Thornton isn't afraid to put a little ketchup on his Farmer John ... telling TMZ, there's NO time of the month he'll shy away from sex.

BBT was in Beverly Hills this weekend ... when he stopped for an EPIC 80 second conversation with our photog.

First topic -- tattoos (according to Billy, men who get them on their lower back are "stupid").

Then came the sex talk -- when we asked, ever so eloquently, if Billy Bob ... um ... well, if he stays out of the water when it's shark week.

Lil Wayne went OFF on the Miami Heat last night at All-Star Weekend -- claiming he's been banned from all NBA events because of his beef with the team ... and the coup de grace ... Wayne said he banged Chris Bosh's wife.

Wayne took the stage for an All-Star weekend event in Houston last night, when he told the crowd, "The NBA banned me from all NBA events ... because the Miami Heat told them to ban me."

You'll recall ... Wayne's been pissed at Miami ever since he says he got the boot during a Heat game last week. Wayne said he got kicked out for rooting for the Lakers ... but there were reports Wayne got into trouble for making a gun gesture at another fan.

Either way, Wayne's obviously still pissed ... because last night he continued to vent, telling the crowd, "When I say f**k, you say NBA! When I say f**k, you say Miami Heat!"

He added, "F**k LeBron. F**k She Wade. F**k Chris Bosh. F**k all y'all."

And if that wasn't enough ... Weezy said, "I f**ked Chris Bosh wife."

It's a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma -- who did Britney Spears go out to dinner with on Valentine's Day? The even bigger mystery ... why are Britney's reps so secretive about it?

The photos of Britney and John Doe #1 surfaced late last week and TMZ reached out to Britney's reps multiple times over the course of 3 days -- asking a simple question ... who's the dude?

Each time, we were told they were trying to figure it out and would get back to us.

After 8 calls ... we're starting to think they don't want to tell us ... so we're turning to you. If you have any information as to the true identity of Doe #1, please contact TMZ immediately.

Adrienne Maloof's new BF Sean Stewart doesn't have time to deal with "Real Housewives" drama spewing from Brandi Glanville's mouth ... telling TMZ, she needs to stop being so desperate for attention.

Sean was out in L.A. Friday -- when we asked him about Brandi blasting his relationship with Maloof on a TV talk show this week, where she said the couple's 19-year-age difference "makes me want to throw up in my mouth a little and swallow it."

Sean fired back with some choice words for Brandi and then left her with one last piece of advice.

"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Paul Nassif tells TMZ, he's only been dating his smoking hot 27-year-old beauty queen girlfriend for SIX WEEKS -- which squarely contradicts a report he was banging the girl while still with his wife Adrienne Maloof.

Reports circulated Paul has been dating former Miss Nevada USA Helen Salas since April last year -- four months before Paul filed for divorce in August.

But last night, as Paul and Helen arrived to The Ivy for dinner, the couple told us they only met 6 weeks ago ... several months after the divorce filing.

As for Adrienne ... she's also dating a much younger person -- Rod Stewart's 32-year-old son Sean Stewart.

Chad Ochocinco's already on the rebound with a new chick ... and there's no denying it, girl's got some SERIOUS JUNK ... even compared to a random girl in the background doing stripper moves.

The video was shot a few days ago in Miami -- showing Ocho and his new lady getting touchy-feely near the beach ... and she's got an ass like an onion. It makes us wanna cry.

BONUS: While Ocho cuddles up with the mystery woman, some random chick in the background felt it was a great time to practice her stripper moves on a pole. Gotta love Miami.

FYI -- it's been six months since Ocho's domestic violence arrest ... when he allegedly headbutted his wife Evelyn Lozada. The two have since divorced.

UPDATE: The photo agency that shot Chad and the unnamed "whooty" tells us the video is from February 7. Right now Chad is in Spain with a different woman -- Lauren Popeil ... heiress to the Ron Popeil infomercial fortune.

A source close to Lauren tells us she and Chad are great friends taking in a Real Madrid soccer match -- but they're not "dating" yet.

Today is Valentine's Day ... a holiday that commemorates the day on or about the year 270 A.D. ... when St. Valentinus was beaten with clubs and beheaded by the Romans (look it up).

And to honor him, here's a photo gallery of Taylor Swift with all of the people she's rumored to have hooked up with.

Erin Andrews and her L.A. Kings BF Jarret Stoll's answer to a simple Valentine's Day question sparked a hysterical convo -- about V-Day for gays and lesbians.

Warning: the following train of thought may derail. Frequently.

Kristen Stewart might get a thank you note for ruining Liberty Ross' marriage ... 'cause it seems LR has upgraded BIG TIME from adulterous Rupert Sanders to music honcho Jimmy Iovine.

Liberty and Jimmy were seen leaving a NYC hotel together this morning -- amidst rumors they've been dating for the past couple of weeks.

The timing makes sense, since Liberty just filed for divorce from Rupert on January 25 ... 6 months after the "Snow White and the Huntsman" director cheated on her with K-Stew.

Proving he's always got time to help out a hot, blonde chick ... Tiger Woods provided his private jet to injured skier Lindsey Vonn ... so she could fly out of Austria after her devastating crash earlier this week

Vonn -- who's rumored to be Tiger's new "girlfriend" -- boarded the jet in Salzburg this morning.

FYI, Vonn -- whose divorce from ex-husband Thomas Vonn was finalized last month -- has claimed she and Tiger are "just friends" ... friends who share private jets.

As we reported, Vonn was competing at the Alpine World Championships in Schladming on Tuesday when she lost her balance and skidded into a gate ... at top speed. Following the accident, Vonn was airlifted to a nearby hospital where she was treated for injuries to her knee and shinbone.
