When Evan Rachel Wood broke up with Marilyn Manson last November, we'd hoped the 21-year-old starlet had finally gotten past her Creepy Relationship phase. After filming a disturbingly explicit sex scene with a troubled man 19 years her senior for his music video, there was nowhere for her to go but up, right?

Wrong. Well, maybe wrong. According to Fox News, witnesses at the Screen Actors Guild Awards last weekend spied Wood at one of the afterparties getting cozy with her Wrestler co-star, Mickey Rourke – who, at 56, is 35 years older than the young actress. The pair was inseparable all night and, after they left the party together, Rourke reportedly grabbed his on-screen daughter and gave her the lip-locked version of a full nelson.

All together now: Eww.

But in November, Wood denied being involved with the Oscar-nominated actor, insisting they'd simply become close during filming. (Close emotionally, not in a pelvic sense.)

"Spread the word -- I'm not dating Mickey Rourke. Everybody thinks we're dating and we're not," she told People at the Hamilton Behind the Cameras Awards. "Mickey and I bonded while shooting The Wrestler and we became friends, but nothing more."

There are very few of our close friends we'd be willing to play tonsil hockey with, but these are movie stars, after all. In Hollywood, the motto seems to be: keep it in the fake family.
