Hugh Grant has reportedly landed himself a girlfriend 30 years his junior.  He's just become a father, why not celebrate.

The 51-year-old actor - who announced the birth of his baby daughter from a ‘brief fling’ with Chinese actress Tinglang Hong, 32, yesterday - is believed to be dating German-born jazz star Elisa Schmidt, 21. So my Nordic blonde quip yesterday was entirely off the mark. Gypsy Rosey Gee strikes again!

The pair was spotted locking lips in the back of a taxi in Berlin according to The Mirror, and are said to have first hooked up a few weeks ago after being introduced by Guy Chambers, Robbie Williams’ former song-writing partner.

Here's a "source" spouting the usual skitter: "Hugh met Elisa earlier this year during a dinner out with Guy. She’s stunning with an incredible voice and Hugh was immediately drawn to her. They got on well and have stayed in touch. Elisa knew about his daughter long before Hugh decided to go public and announce it. She thinks it’s great, and is thrilled for him. It’s early days but they’re getting closer all the time. Hugh seems really happy.”

However, Elisa has denied that she and the Notting Hill star are anything more than friends. Jazz sort are notoriously "cool", she's probably morto for dating a raging cliche.
