Ed Westwick takes back his gorgeous, cheating ex, Jessica Szohr

Several months ago, there was a truly scandalous story about my lover Ed Westwick and his girlfriend Jessica Szohr. Long story short, Ed discovered that Jessica was boning one (or more) of his friends, and Ed dumped her ass. Jessica allegedly apologized and cried, claiming that it was all lies, but Ed held his furry ground and stayed away from her. He spent the next several months hooking up with the ladies (alas, he didn’t find his furry way to me). I’d been reading the odd report here and there that he and Jessica were still talking, and that she was still itching to reunite, and now it seems he’s finally taken her back! Ah, young, furry love:

For exes Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

The “Gossip Girl” co-stars – and former couple – have apparently reunited since their dramatic split in April. At the time, sources told the News’ Gatecrasher column that Westwick was devastated after learning Szohr had been seeing a gaggle of guys behind his back.

The pair, who began dating in 2008, went their separate ways during their time off from work and recently reconnected after reporting back to the “Gossip Girl” set in July.

On Friday, Westwick and Szohr were spotted acting flirty while they checked into the Hard Rock Hotel together in Chicago, an eyewitness tells the Daily News.

The on-again couple traveled to the Windy City to attend the Lollapalooza music festival. According to E! Online, the pair also engaged in some PDA while hanging out at the hotel’s Cabo Wabo tequila lounge.

“They were taking shots,” a source said. “They’re definitely a couple. They were kissing and holding hands.”

Westwick, 23, and Szohr, 25, also reportedly checked out The Strokes concert together on Friday night, as well as the after-party for The Black Keys at Crimson Lounge in the Sax Hotel.

“They went straight to the VIP area and asked for no photos to be taken,” a source told E! “They held court at the very back of the room so no one could see them.”

Bitches. Both of them. No, I can’t hate. I think Ed really cares for her, and they have some kind of young, crazy love. Plus, it probably helps that Jessica is drop-dead gorgeous, right? Am I the only one who thinks she’s completely stunning? Ed probably thinks so too. And maybe this is all a furry plot so he can just dump her again and find me. Sigh…
