LC and Stephen: Finally a Couple?!

I suppose this story was due in only a matter of time. As I reported last week, Stephen Colletti has recently split with girlfriend-of-a-year, Heroes hottie Hayden Panettiere.

And for any of you Laguna Beach fans out there, you'll remember Lauren and Stephen's 'will-they-won't-they' hook-ups like they were yesterday (which, ironically, they may well have been). We never got a conclusion when the Series ended - both Lauren and Stephen, and Stephen's on-off girlfriend and final love triangle member Kristin Cavallari, moved up coast to Los Angeles to start their new lives. Stephen wasn't once seen and was barely mentioned on Lauren's spin-off reality show The Hills, and we saw nothing more of Stephen and Kristin's lingering relationship as he was soon spotted with Hayden Panettiere.

So all was well and good - we didn't know what the hell was up with Lauren and Stephen's friendship or whether there even was one anymore. But, just a week after Colletti's breakup with Panettiere, he was seen at the Hornitos Tequila launch on Thursday night with LC. Lauren posed for a few pictures and signed a couple of autographs, but neither star stopped to talk to reporters on the red carpet.

We'll keep you posted...
