A new Jen and Brad - Aniston and Cooper hooking up?

Enough of the break-ups and denials. Let’s get some hook up gossip. Jennifer Aniston and Bradley Cooper are the new not-so-secret couple. They were spotted having dinner together at Il Cantinori in New York Thursday night.

Before that they were seen flirting at the premiere party for Aniston’s new film “Management” earlier this month.

A fellow diner told People.com, “It was a date.”

Previously, Cooper (for whom I still have “Alias”-related goopy feelings) called reports he was about to become Aniston’s next boyfriend were “flattering,” and said his mother was excited about them, but denied the stories.

Asked recently what he looks for in a mate, Cooper said, “Humor, (a) great personality, intelligence, inner and outer beauty (and) she has to like my dogs. My dogs and I come in a package.”

Fortunately for Bradley, Aniston has two dogs of her own, Norman and Dolly, and the only concern is whether his would eat hers alive.
