Kiss fuels Miley, Kellan romance buzz

Miley Cyrus has added fuel to rumours she is involved with Twilight hunk Kellan Lutz after she was spotted kissing his ear and rubbing his back while they partied together at the weekend.

The Wrecking Ball hitmaker, right, who was also spotted dirty dancing with her assistant Cheyne Thomas, was reportedly all over her rumoured new beau at a Las Vegas club after watching the launch night of Britney Spears' Planet Hollywood residency.

While Cyrus was said to be initially attempting to keep her distance from Lutz, 28, a source told People.com the pair met at her VIP table at about 2.30am.

"They talked at very close range for a long time while Miley was laughing and rubbing his back. At one point she kissed his ear," the insider said.

The source insisted the pair left the venue together despite conflicting reports suggesting Lutz left without Cyrus, 21.

Both stars are fresh out of relationships with Aussie partners, with Cyrus splitting from fiance Liam Hemsworth in September and Lutz parting ways with actress Sharni Vinson in May.

Rumours recently surfaced the pair were involved despite Lutz being a friend of Hemsworth, though these were quickly shot down by sources close to the duo.
