Jewel heist survivor Paris Hilton was spotted around Christmas getting cozy on consecutive nights with George Clooney, according to a shocking report from the Centers for Disease Control.

Oops—we meant Life & Style magazine:

The duo were joined for dinner by a group that included director Ridley Scott, Marvel Studios chairman David Maisel and Brittany Flickinger, the winner of Paris' BFF reality show. [...]

But it wasn't the first time the heartthrob and the heiress had been out together. Life & Style has learned exclusively that the night before, George, 47, and Paris, 27, had a far more intimate meeting at the Whiskey Bar at the Sunset Marquis hotel in West Hollywood.

Before losing our heads over this, we thought we should at least try to talk out what could possibly have led to this unholy intermingling of two of the world's most recognizable pop culture top- and bottom-feeders.

Possibility One: They Are Working on a Project Together
This seems to us the most likely scenario, and yet the imagination reels at what project would incorporate Clooney, Hilton, Marvel, Scott, and Paris's reality show-winning cohort. A Scott-helmed The Adventures of the Toxic Heiress and BFF Girl, "from the mind that brought you Leatherheads," seems to us rather far-fetched.

Possibility Two: The Two Met to Discuss Their Combine Efforts to Raise Afro-Asiatic Awareness
It's well known that both Clooney and Hilton have done much to use their celebrity to divert the world's attention to the horrors of Darfur—Clooney by touring the region and addressing the U.N. on what he saw, Hilton by distributing nutritious headshots to the starving Darfrican orphans who need them most. Their Whiskey Bar tete-a-tete, then, might have been a sharing of ideas on how best to get Hilton's stalled charity-mission reality show back into production, which brings us back to Possibility One.

Possibility Three: They Are Doing It
The possibility with the lowest odds, yet the gravest consequences, is that Clooney has finally opened his heart after ending his affair with an increasingly spotlight-hungry Sarah Larson, and has fallen under Hilton's spell.

Which brings us back to here.
