“The Hangover Part II” star Bradley Cooper cozied up to “sexiest woman alive” Olivia Wilde at his New York premiere party at the Standard Hotel.
Handsome Cooper, who split with Renée Zellweger in March after less than two years, stayed close all night to “TRON: Legacy” star Wilde, who filed for divorce from husband Tao Ruspoli in the same month, after eight years.

Cooper and Wilde were inseparable at Monday night’s Bing-sponsored Cinema Society party, sitting next to each other in a VIP booth, and later headed to the rooftop of the Standard, staying away from other partygoers with a small group of friends. They left together just before 1 a.m.
Wilde, voted Maxim’s sexiest woman in 2009, was recently linked with Justin Timberlake, but she insisted on Twitter: “We are just friends and have been for years.”
Wilde and Cooper were also spotted flirting at the “Saturday Night Live” after-party over the weekend, where she also hung out with Timberlake and “Black Swan” star Mila Kunis. A spy at the 30 Rock party told us, “It looked like Olivia was friendly with Justin, but flirting with Bradley.” Cooper’s and Wilde’s reps didn’t get back to us.
At the “Hangover” [See movie review in Pulse: Page 37] bash, Cooper’s co-star Ed Helms, whose character ends up with a Mike Tyson-style tattoo on his face, joked to us, “Fortunately the tattoo wasn’t permanent, but the emotional scars are.” He said filming in Bangkok was “hilarious, disturbing, horrifying, unnerving. Lots of crazy things happened. It’s all in the movie.”
Zach Galifianakis came to the party late from filming “Bored to Death.” He hid under a baseball cap and, at first, looked lost and ducked to avoid cameras before relaxing in the VIP area and agreeing to be photographed with his castmates.
