It would be an exciting week for casting even if the Cannes Film Festival weren't going on, but the glamorous event in France is bringing a ton of new casting deals as well.

One of our favorite new couples of the year, teen dramedy alums Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, first met on the set of The Oranges in 2011 and will be sharing the screen once again. So of course that got us thinking about what other costar couples we're excited to see in upcoming films and TV shows!
Leighton Meester and Adam Brody had a Saturday date at the ArcLight Cinema in Hollywood. Adam and Leighton are going strong since news of their relationship broke back in February. They first crossed paths back in 2010 while making the film The Oranges but reportedly only took things to a romantic level last year. They'll have even more time to spend together on set since they're working on another picture. Leighton and Adam are starring in the comedy Life Partners, which began shooting in LA earlier this month.
Their Saturday evening at the movies came after Leighton answered a fan question on her Facebook page about her favorite TV shows. Leighton told her almost one million followers on Facebook, "Breaking Bad is my favorite show. I love Nurse Jackie. I really love cooking shows." She regularly gives a peek into her life on the Facebook page, also showing herself in a home studio working on new music.
Leighton Meester and Adam Brody were out in LA separately on Thursday. Leighton spent the afternoon with friends, toting a little girl in her arms as she made her way through a parking lot, while Adam ventured out for a solo coffee and lunch trip. News broke that Adam and Leighton had officially started dating in February, and the duo has since been keeping their relationship under wraps. Last month, though, Adam was seen leaving Leighton's house just after news of their romantic status broke and they shared their first documented dinner date. Adam is back in LA after traveling to Austin for SXSW, where he premiered Some Girls.
Leighton Meester and Adam Brody are dating, and she gave him a sweet goodbye this morning as he left her house! The duo apparently got together when they found themselves single at the same time. Their paths crossed initially when they made the critically underwhelming The Oranges back in 2010. The film came out in 2011.
Their hangout at her place comes after a number of adventures together. They've reportedly shared a getaway to Bangkok and a much-closer-to-home jaunt to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art last week. Leighton's been able to hang out with Adam when she isn't on the set of her current film, God Only Knows. Adam, meanwhile, is gearing up for the release of Some Girl(s) next month.
It's finally happened — the crossover teen romance that fans could only have dreamed of is actually real! According to reports, Adam Brody and Leighton Meester have been secretly dating for weeks. Teen TV translation? The O.C.'s Seth Cohen and Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf are totally together!

Adam Brody and Leighton Meester are reportedly dating! The two costarred together in the indie movie The Oranges in 2011, but Adam and Leighton apparently only started to get romantic a few weeks ago following her breakup from boyfriend Aaron Himelstein. While many fans are excited about the thought of The O.C.'s Seth Cohen dating Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf, we want to know — do you think this rumored new duo is a match in TV show heaven or an odd combo?
Burning Love, the popular web series that spoofs The Bachelor, is back for a second season, and this time there will be plenty of male comedians in the dating pool. After being rejected in season one, June Diane Raphael stars as the bachelorette. Alongside season one veterans like Ben Stiller and Adam Scott, funny newcomers Adam Brody and Michael Cera will be vying for June's attention, hoping to "hold her box" after each "box ceremony." Fans of the series can expect the same hilarious, ridiculous brand of drama — everything from puppet shows to tap dancing, from spanking to bad hair extensions. As June says, "Every feeling that there has been to feel, I have felt."
The series premieres on Valentine's Day, but you can catch a sneak peek from the trailer below.
Amanda Seyfried and Peter Sarsgaard joined the rest of their cast for the highly anticipated Sundance Film Festival premiere of Lovelace last night. The movie, about famous porn actress Linda Lovelace, has been making headlines ever since casting and is already getting good buzz after its debut. Just hours after Lovelace screened to its first audiences, it had reportedly already nabbed a distribution deal with RADiUS-TWC. On the red carpet, Amanda spoke about having no reservations about taking on the risqué role, which she took on back to back with Les Misérables. Elsewhere at Sundance, Peter had a family reunion with brother-in-law Jake Gyllenhaal and mother-in-law Naomi Foner, who directed Very Good Girls, which was also at the festival. Peter and Jake joined Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen for a celebration of all of their films.
