They have both denied rumours of a blossoming romance, but comedienne Chelsea Handler and rapper 50 Cent did little to quash mounting speculation as they stepped out in public on Monday for the third time in a month.

The 35-year-old rapper, also known as Curtis James Jackson, and 35-year-old chat show host Handler enjoyed a Sunday lunch date in Malibu. The pair were both dressed casually with Chelsea in black jeans, a striped, long sleeved T-shirt and a straw fedora while 50 Cent wore an all-black ensemble with a huge diamond cross round his neck. The couple appeared happy and relaxed as they walked out of the restaurant and piled into 50’s enormous Rolls Royce. Chelsea even paused to take a picture of a smiling 50 Cent with her cellphone before getting into the passenger side of the car. Rumours of the two dating have been circulating for several weeks after they were spotted together looking very cosy at The Blue Nile Jazz Club in New Orleans at the beginning of October.

Chelsea took to her Twitter page to dispel the reports saying: “Everyone, calm down. I met with Mr Cent about a potential project. There’s nothing to report yet, I’ll let you know if there is.” But just last week they were spotted again at the Backstage Bar and Grill in Culver City at the birthday party for one of Chelsea’s friends. The pair met in November 2009 when he appeared in her E! Television chat show, Chelsea Lately. According to the New York Daily News, the rapper and actor left Handler a voice message asking her out, after his appearance on the show.

Hannah who? 17-year-old Miley Cyrus is growing up fast as she appears in a sexy new music video

It’s all a far cry from her squeaky-clean Hannah Montana image.

Miley Cyrus, 17, shows she is continuing to grow up fast with a sexy appearance in a new music video. The star shares a number of romantic moments and yearning looks with her co-star Kevin Zegers in the video for The Big Big Bang — a new song by Cyrus’s producing partners Rock Mafia. The video flashes between memory, reality and surreality, appearing to show Cyrus as a ghostly former girlfriend who gets into a dramatic car accident.

At one point, she appears wearing a seethrough dress over a white bikini as she strolls along the beach hand in hand with Zegers as they stop to take a photo of themselves. Gossip Girl star Zegers, 26, says he doesn’t think the video is particularly risqué. “It’s definitely not raunchy in any way, she’s very polite and wellraised, which is a rarity for someone in her position. I think she’s a total sweetheart,” he told MTV News.
