It looks like British heiress Jemima Khan is not dating Guy Ritchie. Khan was spotted out with her former (and current?) lover Hugh Grant. They went to dinner, and Hugh apparently tried to get her loaded. Yep, sounds right. I totally buy that Hugh Grant is the kind of date to try to get the girl drunk. That being said, I would still want to go on at least one date with him… weird, I know. The Telegraph has details about the latest in the Hugh Grant-Jemima Khan are-they or are-they-not together already saga:
When Hugh Grant announced that he was separating from Jemima Khan in 2007 after a three-year relationship, his spokesman was keen to stress that the break-up was “amicable”. Since Mandrake disclosed last month that the pair had enjoyed a cosy meal at Bentley’s restaurant in Mayfair, their friendship seems to be regaining its old spark.
…Last week, Grant, 48, took the daughter of the late tycoon Sir James Goldsmith out to celebrate her 35th birthday, which had been a few days earlier. The pair indulged in another intimate lunch deux, this time at Olivomare, a fashionable Italian restaurant in Belgravia.
“You would never guess that they had ever split up,” says a fellow diner. “Jemima looked radiant and very relaxed in his company. He seemed his usual diffident self, but kept pouring her wine and she kept laughing at his jokes.”
Demurely, Jemima, who has two sons from her nine-year marriage to Imran Khan, the former Pakistan cricket captain, declines to comment. She and Grant have always avoided talking about their relationship, which once appeared to be going so well that there was speculation they would marry.
The actor, who remains best known for his role as a reluctant groom in Four Weddings and a Funeral, has never married.
“I’d like to get married but I’m horrified by the lack of passion that can result from the passing of time,” he once remarked. “Nine out of 10 of my friends’ marriages are a f—— mess.” He has, however, also remained close to Elizabeth Hurley, with whom he had a 13-year relationship.
From The Sunday Telegraph
Hugh gets a bad rap - most of it totally deserved. But I give him a lot of credit for maintaining a seemingly solid relationship with Liz Hurley, and even being one of many surrogate fathers for her son Damien. It wouldn?t surprise me if he and Jemima Khan are back together, but they?ll probably split up again, and do the whole thing all over.
I sometimes wonder if such ?established bachelors? like Hugh Grant and George Clooney will ever marry. Maybe they?re doing the honorable thing, not getting hitched - they?re both pretty screwed up about women and commitment in general, maybe it?s best they just leave it to other people.

The Daily Mail is calling it The Notting Hill Effect, but I’m calling it Hugh Grant Syndrome. Scientist have recently conducted research that proves people who watch romantic comedies are more likely to have unsatisfying love lives due to overblown expectations.
Researchers found that those who watched romantic comedies were more likely to believe in predestined love than those who preferred other genres of movie.
They were also more likely to believe that perfect relationships happen instantly, and were less likely to believe that couples need to work at relationships.
Watching just one romantic comedy is enough to sway people?s attitudes to romantic love, they found.
Dr Bjarne Holmes, who led the research, said: ?We are not being killjoys ? we are not saying that people shouldn?t watch these movies. But we are saying that it would be helpful if people were more aware and more critical of the messages in these films.
?The problem is that while most of us know that the idea of a perfect relationship is unrealistic, some of us are still more influenced by media portrayals than we realise.?
[From Daily Mail]
The study maintains that people who watch romantic comedy films are more likely to believe in fate and soulmates, and tend to be more forgiving of cheating by their lovers. Score one for the Hugh Grant Syndrome name being more accurate.
The idea is that they set themselves up for a greater fall if they succumb to the ideals put forth in stories about instant and perfect love, even when they know better. Not only do they expect love to happen quicker, but they expect more from their partners as well. It easily becomes something neither party can live up to.
I think this phenomenom pre-dates Sleepless in Seattle by hundreds of years. Maybe we should blame Hans Christian Anderson, or even the Brothers Grimm. Actually, if you read Song of Solomon in the Bible, it sounds like a script for a present day romantic movie. We have rom-coms and previous eras had fairy tales. The idea of “happily ever after” has been entrenched in our psyches for as long as there have been stories to tell.
So I guess we can’t blame it all on Hugh Grant. I’m still blaming him for my attraction to English accents, though.
