(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Lauren Conrad has reportedly grown close to Gossip Girl actor Chace Crawford.

The pair were seen "making out" during an evening together last week, according to Us Weekly.

A source told the magazine that the former Hills star went to L.A.'s Voyeur nightclub before heading to a party at actor Shawn Pyfrom's house.

"There's always been an attraction between them," the insider said. "But Lauren is just enjoying herself. She's not taking anything too seriously!"

Lauren was recently linked to Dancing With The Stars professional Derek Hough but they called it quits last month according to reports.

"Their relationship reached its peak. It was always casual," a source told Life & Style. "She had fun with Derek he used to send her cute texts and sing to her but she always kept her options open."

Lauren was nursing a broken heart after splitting with ex-boyfriend Kyle Howard in June after three years together. (C) Cover Media
