This could be total crap, but we have the (on-set) photos to use as evidence, so what the hell? Honestly, that’s probably how this story started – someone at The Sun was sifting through the thousands of photos coming out of Woody Allen’s Parisian film shoot and they noticed that hey, Rachel McAdams and Owen Wilson are both kind of single right now, right? Why not? Why aren’t they boning? Thus, a tabloid story was born. And seriously, why not? It wouldn’t hurt either of them: he’s got issues and she’s kind of boring (meaning she’s not very tabloid-friendly because she keeps her private life pretty locked-down). Stranger things have happened:

OWEN WILSON and co-star RACHEL McADAMS are becoming more than just colleagues, according to sources on the set of their new movie Midnight In Paris.

Funnyman Owen and Rachel, who appeared in GUY RITCHIE’s Sherlock Holmes, have been openly flirting between takes on WOODY ALLEN’s new project, due out next year.

It must be said Owen’s new lady friend is a dead ringer for his ex, KATE HUDSON.

An onlooker said: “After one scene at a flea market in St Ouen outside Paris, Owen was playing with her hair and being really affectionate. Even for a pair of luvvies, it was very flirtatious. The gossip on set is that they are an item off screen.”

Owen deserves a break. The Zoolander star suffered serious depression and even tried to take his own life after he split up with Kate in 2007. Kate must have a thing for men with big hooters. Owen’s got a tremendous conk and she’s now dating generously nostrilled MATT BELLAMY from MUSE.

Was The Sun dude drunk when he wrote this? “Hooters”? I think he means “honkers” because I’ve never heard an English person refer to anyone’s nose as a “hooter” before. Does that really happen? Also: Rachel is a “dead ringer” for Kate Hudson? Yeah, maybe if you’re a drunk Englishman who refers to one’s nose as a “hooter”. Tut, tut, crumpets, pip, pip, cheerio, etc. My opinion: Rachel is totally prettier than Kate. And I tend to think she’s too smart to mess with Owen, but hey, he could be fun for a fling. Maybe he could loosen her up a bit?
