Gossip bloggers working the lonely weekend beat put Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lopez together in a car Saturday in L.A. People.com, citing unnamed paparazzi, says this was the second sighting of the duo in a month. Lopez, 42, and Cooper, 37, previously had dinner in September at Per Se in New York.
The duo are "casually dating," a source "close to the pair" tells TMZ. A People.com source "close to Lopez" says: "She does like his attention, and it makes her feel good that he seems so into her. She has a fun time with Bradley, and he makes her laugh."
Robot boxers vs. dancers
The robot boxers of Real Steel and the dancers of Footloose were in a tight fight for the box-office title. The Hugh Jackman tale about machines in the boxing ring took in $16.3 million, which would make it the No. 1 movie for the second straight weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. But Real Steel came in barely ahead of the remake Footloose, which opened with $16.1 million.
The movies are close enough that they could switch rankings once final numbers are released Monday. Studio estimates are based on actual business Friday and Saturday and projections for Sunday based on how well similar movies typically hold up.
The horror update The Thing, about Antarctic researchers stalked by an alien, opened at No. 3, with $8.7 million. Steve Martin, Jack Black, and Owen Wilson's bird-watching comedy The Big Year, laid an egg, opening at No. 9, with $3.3 million.

George Lopez's new plan
Comedian George Lopez said he was creating a family-oriented sitcom in which he will play a father and husband, vowing to return to television less than two months after TBS canceled his late-night show Lopez Tonight. Lopez told the AP his now-untitled show "will be the opposite" of George Lopez, the syndicated 2002-07 ABC sitcom that made him a household name.
Viewership for his late-night TBS show declined heavily in its second year. He says the show suffered after he lost his 11 p.m. Eastern time time slot to Conan O'Brien. The comedian said it was unfortunate his show was canceled because there are few minority hosts on late-night television.
Actress Eva Longoria said: "I was heartbroken. Late-night talk show needs diversity." Longoria was attending a charity gala with Lopez in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
