• If this is a day ending in "y," it must be time for another Bradley Cooper hookup rumor. E! News says the current Sexiest Man Alive, who's been linked to everyone from Olivia Wilde to Jennifer Lopez since his March breakup with Renee Zellweger, is seeing Zoe Saldana.

  "They are totally dating," bubbles an insider.

  Cooper, 36, and Saldana, 33, are apparently "extremely happy" about the romance and have been sharing the news with friends and family.

  In November, the actress amicably split from her businessman fiancé, Keith Britton, after 11 years together (one of them engaged).

  Rumors claiming she was cozying up to Cooper soon surfaced, with an eyewitness retroactively alleging to Star that they were "acting like two high school kids going steady" while hanging at a New York hot spot in September.

  Zoe's rep, however, was quick to brush off the hookup rumblings, insisting to multiple outlets that the pulchritudinous pair, who cuddled up on camera earlier this year while filming "The Words," were "just friends."

  (By the way, when Star initially hinted at an on-set romance between Bradley and Zoe back in June, her rep described the co-stars as being like "brother and sister.")

  The drama, in which Cooper plays a writer who steals someone else's work, is set to close out the Sundance Film Festival next month.
