After being linked together for the past few weeks, 48-year-old Sharon Stone and 37-year-old Christian Slater have confirmed they're dating. The couple, who co-star in new movie Bobby, also said they will be spending Christmas together. A source close to Stone revealed:

"They're both really happy - but they don't have long-term expectations. It's a fun fling for the holidays and Sharon is a good influence. She rarely drinks and has three kids. It's a good match for now."

A "fun fling" for the holidays? WTF? Who hooks up with someone based on the season? Besides me, of course. I have a fascination with Wiccans. Someone about those crazy bitches around Halloween time that really turns me on. BTW, what's with the anonymous friend saying Sharon is a good influence? Christian is 37 years old. He stopped needing a good influence to guide his life about 26 years ago.

UPDATE: Sharon Stone's rep is denying the reports:

"They did 'Bobby' together and went to two of the premieres together. Nothing else."

Based on these pictures, I say there's pretty much no doubt that Stone's rep is lying. Stone and Slater look like they're about two glasses of champagne away from just going down on each other right on the red carpet.
