They may look like an odd couple, but the former couple looked totally into one another when we caught them out together last night!
It’s a second shot at love for Nikki Reed and DJ Qualls! HollywoodLife.com spotted the former couple acting pretty darn together at the Blackberry Torch launch party in Los Angeles last night!
We were stunned to see the two together – they make such a mismatched pair – but together they were. We spotted the Twilight actress, 22, putting her hand in DJ’s back pocket and rubbing his back; they briefly held hands before separating.
Later in the evening we spotted the two sitting close and chatting with Gossip Girl star Michelle Tractenberg and Parks and Recreation’s Rashida Jones before acting casual when they people were watching.
Don’t be all That surprised though, BFFs – although Nikki is dating an older man (he’s 32 and...

.. Teaming up with Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke, Reed penned and starred in 2003's film Thirteen. Since then, Nikki Reed has starred in a number of pictures, including Lords of Dogtown (wherein her father was Art Director), American Gun, and Familiar Strangers. Also appearing in TV series such as The O.C., Reed's career was blossoming nicely before Twilight came along. With Twilight, again directed by Catherine Hardwicke, Reed got on board as Rosalie Hale alongside friend Kristen Stewart (who plays Bella Swan in the series). Thirty-some-odd hours of hair transformation later, she was Rosalie, and her name became one that Twilight fans are not soon to forget.

Something Sally’s long awaited debut album, released last year in Norway, is released in India this month - March 09. The album is titled “Familiar Strangers” and when you listen to their music, it is easy to see why. The sound of Something Sally is unlike anything you’ve heard before; it’s new yet retro, original yet strangely familiar.
Despite spending the better half of their musical life in blustery Liverpool, Something Sally has distinct warmth in their music. In 2002, the three friends packed their bags and moved from their home country Norway to the UK to broaden.
