You Heard It Here First

The New York Post's Elisa Lipsky-Karasz had the following to say about Ethan Hawke's new girlfriend over the weekend, BUT folks - I told you he was dating the nanny WEEKS ago in an extremely not-so-blind item...

From KettyKet on April 5, 2005:
What Oscar-nominated actor/novelist is dating his [former] nanny? Don't think it was going on when he was still with his Oscar-nominated wife (who has since very publicly moved on from him), but only those three know for sure....

From Elisa:
Ethan Hawke is dating once again.

His new girl is a blonde who sports two tattoos (KettyKet: two very big tattoos, indeed), said a spy. He's so proud of her that he personally showed her around the new set of "Hurlyburly" at its off-Broadway location at 37 Arts.

Maybe she helped him prepare for the play's now-famous opening, where he lies on his stomach on a couch, boxers pulled waaaaay down while the audience files in. "Yeah, I did special butt-method acting," Hawke joked after the opening performance Wednesday night. "No, I don't use makeup on the butt," he continued. "Nothing at all."
