'Harry Potter' star Emma Watson has been spotted partying with Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell in London.
They met at the Vanity Fair And Burberry Portraits party at the National Gallery. And despite a 10-year age gap, the 17-year-old actress reportedly seemed enthralled.
"Emma had gone over to speak to Pixie Geldof, who was chatting to Johnny at the time. Emma and Johnny immediately hit it off," an onlooker told the Daily Telegraph.
"It was clear they had loads to talk about - even if they don't look like they have much in common."
According to the Daily Star, Borrell, 27, didn't realise who Watson was until they left the party and fans started calling her name.
The unlikely pair then reportedly hopped into a cab to another fashion party and from there, they are believed to have gone on to a private event at the Dorchester Hotel.

Ford says looks his age in new Indiana Jones film
CANNES, France (Reuters) - Harrison Ford reprises his most famous film role in the new Indiana Jones adventure, and there will be no hiding the fact that he is nearly 20 years older than his last outing as the whip-wielding archaeologist.
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" is the hotly anticipated follow up to the original trilogy, which wound up with "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" in 1989.
The question on everyone's lips in Cannes, where the movie has its world premiere on Sunday likely to attract thousands of fans to the glamorous red carpet, is whether Ford still has what it takes to be an action hero aged 65.
Fielding questions from reporters ahead of the first screening of the Steven Spielberg-directed blockbuster, Ford said there would be no attempt to hide his real age.
"We don't handle the age question, we ignore it," he said at the luxury Carlton Hotel on the palm-lined Croisette beach front. "We've moved 20 years deeper into history. We're no longer dealing with Nazis, but we have Russian villains.
"Age has its virtues and it has its disadvantages," he added. "I think we embrace the reality of the passage of 20 years. We're not coy about it."
The story of the Crystal Skull is set in 1957, 19 years on from the third move in a franchise which has made over $1 billion at the global box office in 1980s dollar terms.
Ford teams up again with Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood, his love interest in the first film, "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

Who Is the Blogosphere's Next American Idol?
BuzzLogic Reveals the Influential Bloggers' Choice
SAN FRANCISCO, May 20 -- On the eve of the 2008 Idol
coronation, BuzzLogic is releasing the season's influencer "buzz," to
highlight how contestants fared with blogosphere opinion leaders. This
season of American Idol has been difficult to predict, and the David vs.
David showdown has given fans and bloggers much to discuss.
And the winner is ...
Since the top three contestants were determined the week of April 21,
influential blogs in aggregate have pegged David Archuleta to take home
this year's title.
However, it took until week six for influencers to warm up to David
Archuleta, as post-for-post he generated the least amount of buzz prior to
the six week mark. On the other hand, influential blogs like TV Squad and
Bookmaker pegged David Cook as a "dark horse" favorite from the start. In
the final vote, bloggers note that Archuleta has the all-powerful teen vote
(not to mention many invites to the prom), while Cook's got the older
"cougar" crowd (as noted by several bloggers) on his side.
Here's what else the influencers had to say about this season:
Top Twelve Predictions
While David Archuleta may have flown under the radar early, some of the
more charismatic personalities -- Brooke White, Michael Johns, and his
rival for the title, David Cook -- made bigger first impressions among the
influencers. In fact, Brooke White was the influential bloggers' early pick
to win the title and David Hernandez was the influential bloggers
hands-down pick to be the first to go.
-- Out of all the negative chatter surrounding the top twelve, the one
post that generated the most attention was from VotefortheWorst.com --
calling for David Hernandez's exit.
The Influencers Knew Syesha Would Make it Far, but What About Carly?
Influential bloggers liked Syesha Mercado from the start, noting her
talent when judges and voters consistently put her in the bottom three.
Syesha had the second least number of blogs discussing her performances,
but these passionate bloggers and fans posted an average of three times as
much compared to other contestants -- interestingly, Syesha ended up being
the last female standing. Blogger love couldn't save Carly Smithson
however. Blogger buzz around her "Jesus Chris Superstar" performance was
positive, but the singer got the boot from voters that same week.
-- After a poor performance on April 7, influential blog Rickey.org
started a campaign to save Carly from an early departure.
The Influencers Turned on Brooke White
On April 1st, Brooke White was the female contestant with the highest
number of influential blog posts, 3824, and considered -- by both bloggers
and voters it seemed -- a front-runner to win. Following her performance of
Mariah Carey's "Hero," the number of posts about Brooke continued to
escalate, but the tone turned sour. As of April 21, she was the bloggers'
collective pick to go. Two weeks later, Brooke was voted off.
Michael Johns' Exit Upset Fans and Set the Blogosphere on Fire
The week of March 26, after his rendition of Queen's "We Are the
Champions," Michael Johns went from being the hands-down fan favorite to
being voted off two weeks later. Johns generated over 1,000 influential
posts after his departure, many lamenting the show's overall loss of sex
appeal and most outraged that a much less impressive, Kristy Lee Cook,
remained.
-- TMZ.com generated the most influential post around Michael Johns
discussing the ironic fact that he was spotted singing Neil Diamond's
"Sweet Caroline" to his mom during a karaoke stint.
Buzz Wasn't Always Around Performances
Poor Paula Abdul -- her flubs made more news than her first music video
in 15 years. She set the blogosphere afire by judging Jason Castro's Neil
Diamond performance, mistakenly judging two songs when he only sang one.
-- Hollywood Gossip's April 30 post reporting that she had at least one
martini at lunch that day was the most influential post pertaining to the
judge.
What About American Idol?
The most influential blog post on the topic of American Idol was from
the television show's official blog on March 12, 2008,
http://www.americanidol.com, which outlined the top 24 contestants and
linked to 119 other sites. While each contestant had some unique
influencers writing about them in the blogosphere, a number of commonly
influential blogs across the board were TVSquad, the official American Idol
blog, Rickey.org, GirlsTalkinSmack.com, MJsbigblog.com, HollywoodGossip and
Defamer.

Outrageous hottie has eco-friendly plan
Outrageous Fortune hottie Robyn Malcolm can generate plenty of electricity on her award-winning series but it seems she does it very economically.
So economically that the Right House, New Zealand's first one-stop-shop for building energy-efficient homes, has welcomed her as its first official ambassador.
The distinguished actress will help raise awareness about the company's energy-efficiency services.
Robyn is keenly aware of the importance in building a safer and cleaner environment through energy-efficiency.
Of her appointment, she says, "There are many different companies and products out there that I could be supporting but they just didn't have any meaning for me the way Right House does."
As the Right House ambassador, Robyn will be regularly involved with promoting the new energy-efficiency company.
She has already been the key-note speaker at its solution centre openings in Christchurch and Auckland and her house is currently being given a Right House makeover.
"Environmental interest and responsibility is on the increase and we all know the benefits of having an energy-efficient home. However, information isn't always readily available.
"There's still a lot of confusion over how to best build an energy efficient home and Right House solves that problem," says Robyn.
