“Renee is totally into Bradley,” a source close to the actress tells Star. “Behind the scenes, she’s really throwing herself at him.”

Just 12 days after [Bradley and Jennifer’s date], Renee got her own intimate alone time with the star of The Hangover at another Italian restaurant.

“They were really comfortable with each other,” says a restaurant employee, who noted Bradley, 34, acted the perfect gentleman and pulled out Renee’s chair for her. “She was so happy – they were talking and smiling the entire time. It certainly looked like a date.”

Keeping their night out a secret from Jennifer Aniston wasn’t a top priority for Bradley and Renee. After spending more than two hours openly flirting with each other, the two headed outside to waiting photographers.

“We could have snuck them out through the downstairs,” the restaurant employee tells Star. “But they weren’t really concerned about privacy.”

Word of the date getting out is all just part of Renee’s plan. She’s felt a special connection with Bradley since they started filming the upcoming thriller Case 39.

“It was obvious from the moment she met him. And since Bradley’s on the fence and playing it cool with Jen, Renee saw her chance and took it. She doesn’t care if Jen knows about their date, because she’s sure Bradley is all hers now!”

But even casual observers note that Bradley could be toying with both Renee and Jennifer and dating on his own terms.

“He was so charming,” says one diner who witnessed Bradley and Renee. “I could see why these women are falling for him. But I think they should be careful, because he obviously has great game.”

Jennifer’s making it known she does too! “Jen is the better match for Bradley, but she’s not going to cry into her pillow over him,” says a friend. “She just thinks Bradley’s not ready for something serious yet. She says when he is, he’ll be with her.”

But Renee won’t go down without a fight! “She’s dying to get married and have a baby, and she believes Bradley is the right guy,” insists the source. “She’s determined to keep him for herself!”

Looks like star treatment is rampant on the set of Jennifer Aniston’s new movie The Bounty – courtesy of Aniston herself. The actress made sure the entire cast and crew of the film started their Fourth of July weekend on Thursday, July 2, a day earlier than expected, by footing the bill for everyone’s salary so they could have a four-day holiday.

“Jen is such a genuinely good person,” says one crew member. “How many people in this world would pay for an entire movie set to have off for the day? Not just anyone does that. We’re talking big bucks.”

Aniston has been in New York City for the past couple of weeks, along with a week in Atlantic City, filming the thriller with Gerard Butler.

Aniston’s rep could not be reached for comment. Columbia Pictures did not return calls for comment.

Jennifer Aniston may be dating Bradley Cooper but sources says she is still “open” to dating her new co-star Gerard Butler.

An insider says if Aniston and Cooper’s relationship doesn’t pan out, then the actress may pursue a romance with Butler. “If that (Cooper) doesn’t work out, she would certainly be open to dating Gerard,” the source says.

Aniston and Butler have been flirting on the set of Bounty Hunter. “They flirt, but it’s pretty innocent,” the insider adds. “In the future, love could blossom.”

If there is still anything going on between Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Aniston, it certainly didn’t seem to be on the actor’s mind on Tuesday night as he enjoyed a romantic Manhattan meal with Renée Zellweger.

The pair, who co-star in the upcoming Case 39, were spotted together at Antonucci, an elegant Italian restaurant on NYC’s posh Upper East Side, where one diner tells OK! that this was no friendly chow session.

“He pulled her chair out for her when she sat down and he kissed her on the hand,” says the witness. “If they’re just friends, they were being awfully affectionate!”

Renee and Bradley were seated at a corner table, where diners describe their behavior as “flirty,” “relaxed” and “cute together.”

In a white Henley, jeans and red sneakers, the He’s Just Not That Into You hunk was more casually dressed than his dinner date, who sported a thigh-length black, bell-sleeved dress and strappy shoes with very high heels and carried a Hermes clutch.

“Throughout the dinner they were playful and flirty,” a witness tells OK!. “She played with her hair a lot, and she would often touch his arm when she was making a point about something.” The lucky celeb-spotter also reveals to OK! that Renée even leaned forward across the table on a few occasions to play with his napkin.

“At one point, he seemed to want to whisper something to her as if it were a secret,” says the diner. “He spoke into her ear and then they both started giggling.”

Perhaps not wanting the night to end too quickly, the pair remained at their table, sipping tea and chatting long after they finished their food.

When the check arrived, sources tell OK! that both Brad and Renée reached for it. “She told him she wanted to buy him dinner to pay him back for something,” says the witness. “And when he opened the check, it already had her card in it!” We’re told this little surprise caused Brad to blurt out, “You [expletive]-er!”

Witnesses also say that the 40-year-old Oscar-winner jokingly referred to herself as a “cougar” because of Bradley’s youthful 34 years.

After conferring over who was supposed to call whom next, the dining duo did their best to throw off the waiting paparazzi by leaving five minutes apart and hopping into separate cabs.
