Actually dating: Olympic gold medalists Evan Lysacek, 24, and Nastia Liukin, 20, People reports. Olympics geeks already knew the newly crowned men's figure skating champ and the gymnast had attended some red-carpet thing together, but now we know that was a date date. "We both know what it takes to try for the ultimate dream of being an Olympic champion," she told the magazine. But wait! He also just told Entertainment Tonight correspondent Nancy Kerrigan (?) that he's single and that he and Liukin are "very close friends."

Split: Actor Ryan Phillippe, 35, and Abbie Cornish, 27, the Australian actress he took up with after ex-wife Reese Witherspoon. Cornish's rep confirmed to People that she moved out of their L.A. home.

Born: A daughter, Krishna Thea Lakshmi, to "Top Chef" host Padma Lakshmi, 39, on Saturday, her rep told reporters. She's kept quiet on the paternity situation.
