You remember Hugh Grant. He's that guy that used to be an actor.

Well, the 51 year-old is now a father for the first time, and he is "absolutely thrilled" with his latest role. Grant had a baby girl, who was born in October, and while the actor is no longer with the mom (who is unknown), he's still "beaming" about being a father.

A source told US Magazine: "He's going to be a great dad! He's beaming about his daughter. He's not with the mum anymore but he's absolutely thrilled."

The last lady that Hugh was linked to was Chinese actress Tinglan Hong, but no word on whether she's the mom. In April, there were rumors that Hong was pregnant. I guess we'll be able to tell sooner or later. Especially if this kid's good at math.

Hugh Grant does not like to be followed by the paparazzi! As the actor left the Waverly Inn in New York City last night with a friend, he was followed by the usual gaggle of paps that frequent that area, hoping to snap a photo of a celeb.

The photog repeatedly asked Hugh what his problem was, but he just walked away from him. Watch the TMZ here.

There’s a new couple rumor floating around Hollywood just in time for Valentine’s Day, and it totally took us by surprise! Apparently Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant were spotted making out!

According to the New York Post, Drew and Hugh were at the Waverly Inn on Monday night in New York. A source tells the publication that Drew became overly excited when Hugh walked in. The source says, "She squealed and jumped in his arms.”

They allegedly then started full-on making out. But the two didn’t end the night together, because Drew was then seen showing up to the Beatrice Inn solo, and hanging out with Clive Owen.

Look at Drew the player! Well she did say she’s liking being single. And when you can book two guys like Hugh and Clive in one night, that’s skills.

We highly doubt Hugh and Drew could be more than just make-out buddies, but imagine the possibilities for their nickname?

Hugh Grant has been a bad-bad boy again! Grant left diners at Japanese restaurant Roka shocked last week when he was seen “romping” with a woman and a man in public.

Grant was reportedly kissing a mystery woman while his buddy was caressing the same girls thigh.

Eyewitness Hannah Crow told the Daily Mail, "It was disgusting. Hugh and the girl were completely going for it. It was brazen. But he didn't seem to care. Weirdly, the other guy tried to appear as if he wasn't doing anything. I've never seen anything like it. It wasn't normal...

"They sat on the sofa next to us with the girl in the middle. Soon, Hugh started snogging her full-on. Meanwhile the other guy was touching the girl's thigh. It was like Hugh accepted it... Hugh put his fingers in her mouth. She was sucking his fingers."

This shouldn't be a shocker to anybody. We all know Hugh loves to have himself a good time.
