The Sundance Film Festival is more than just an opportunity for filmmakers to show off their latest efforts and, hopefully, line up some sweet distribution deals. It’s a chance for people in the entertainment industry to meet face-to-face and discuss future projects. That’s what’s happening here, hopefully. See, Paris and Jared Leto aren’t just sucking face, not to mention sucking all the hipness out of the room and the entire town of Park City. They’re in the preliminary stages of crossbreeding a strain of herpes so lethal it will cleanse the earth of humanity over the course of the next decade. Or possibly shooting a Valtrex commercial.

It’s not like this hasn’t happened before. Paris was on the scene right around the time Jared and Cameron Diaz broke up, and at one point Lindsay Lohan was ready to marry the emo rocker to piss off Paris. But a mutual friend says it’s nothing serious:

Paris and Jared are not dating seriously, but this is not the first time they have made out — there just weren’t any cameras around before. She likes him and she thinks he is really sexy and fun.

Well, thank goodness for that. The notion that those two might spawn makes Cloverfield sound about as menacing as the next High School Musical project.
