EVAN RACHEL WOOD - WOOD CONFIRMS BELL ROMANCE

Hollywood starlet EVAN RACHEL WOOD has confirmed reports she is dating BILLY ELLIOTT star JAMIE BELL, hailing the English actor as "awesome". The THIRTEEN beauty, 17, and Bell, 20, fuelled rumours they were in a relationship after they attended the KING KONG premiere together in New York City last December (05). Wood says, "I think it's obvious (that we're dating), so I'm not really going to say anything. "We've made a public appearance together so that's why it's obvious. It's kind of pointless to deny it. "I think Jamie is awesome. And it's even better when you know him because he's just a completely different person on screen." The couple met on the set of GREEN DAY's video WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS.
