acroholic: Jake Gyllenhaal

Couples Watch: Taylor Swift & Garrett Hedlund, Jake Gyllenhaal & Jessica Lowndes (!?)

Looks like Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal are hitting it off ... with other people! The former was seen on a hot date with Garrett Hedlund, reports say.

"It was their first time going out," a source tells Us Weekly of Swift's April 1 evening out in Nashville with the Tron: Legacy and Country Strong star.

"They've been emailing for a while, and she hinted they should get together."

Sources say that despite an obviously strong connection, Taylor is taking things slowly after a fast-track romance and breakup with Jake Gyllenhaal last fall.

Speaking of Jake, he's been spotted out with 90210 star Jessica Lowndes. Yeah, the chick stuck playing Adrianna on the CW's mediocre remake of the hit.

As long as they're both happy. Too bad Jay Leno didn't ask Taylor about this during her visit last night. Probably would've resulted in more blank stares.

Jake Gyllenhaal: Touching the Arm of Camilla Belle!

A day before Jake Gyllenhaal took his ex-girlfriend to the Golden Globe Awards, the actor was spotted out at another event... with another woman. Onlookers tell Radar Online that Gyllenhaal and Camilla Belle "hung out together the entire night" on Saturday at the Art of Elysium "Heaven" Gala.

"They were talking intimately, and laughing," a witness reports. "There really seemed to be chemistry, a connection."

Gyllenhaal is heavily involved in Art of Elysium, a charity that brings the arts to ailing children.

It's a good cause, but this is not good news for Taylor Swift, Jake's ex. Belle was actually the same woman with whom Joe Jonas rebounded after he and Swift broke up.

Concluded an insider at this event: "Jake and Camilla were flirting all night. And before he left, I saw him very affectionately touching her arm. She is definitely his type."
