Leonardo DiCaprio has been spotted flirting with Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts.
The 34-year-old actor and 'Hush Hush; Hush Hush' singer cosied up to each other at the Cartier International Polo day in Windsor on Sunday (26.07.09), and even partied together in London afterwards.
Following the polo event, London nightclub Chinawhite organised a special party, where Leonardo found himself swamped by women keen to get acquainted with him.
A source said: "Leonardo came in through the back and was immediately directed towards his private table. He was swarmed by beautiful ladies, including Ashley. He spent about two hours getting to know his new friends."
Leonardo eventually decided to move on to exclusive nightspot Whisky Mist, where he spent £6,000 on champagne for his female companions.
The source added: "Leonardo's table was surrounded by some of the girls he had met at the polo. But he seemed more interested in talking to Ashley than anyone else and the pair were getting on really well."
The 'Revolutionary Road' actor eventually left the club at 2am.
It is not the first wild night out Leonardo has enjoyed since being in the capital city.
Last week, he was seen snuggling up to actress Cameron Diaz in nightclub Maddox.
A source said at the time: "They were laughing a lot and were very touchy feely. They ignored everyone else. They seemed very close and comfortable in each other's company. Leonardo was pouring her glasses of champagne."

Mischa Barton has had an alcohol problem since she was 14.
The former 'O.C' actress - who is receiving psychiatric treatment at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after being placed under a 5150 hold, a piece of US legislation which means she poses a danger to herself or others - worried friends with her out of control behaviour for several years and they are relieved she has finally sought help.
Stacey Kives - a former stylist on 'The O.C.' - said: "She was on the path to self-destruction - it was just a question of when she was going to be ready to do something about it.
"Mischa has been drinking since she was about 14, and she doesn't drink to have fun any more - she drinks not to feel anything. But I think this last episode has scared her straight. She finally sounds like she's seeing reality."
According to her friend, Mischa has previously resisted all attempts to help her seek treatment and would cut pals out of her life if they suggested she had a problem.
Stacey added to Britain's Heat magazine: "Mischa's finally willing to get some help. She was partying so hard before. Whenever a close friend would say, 'Mischa, I'm worried about you,' she would distance herself.
"It was just a matter of time before she hit rock bottom. Now she wants her friends and family around her. It's a good sign."
It is believed the 23-year-old actress was suffering from low self-esteem prior to her hospitalisation.
A source said: "She hates her legs. She isn't comfortable with her body. It's been a big source of stress and self-hate."
Referring to pictures which appeared to show bumpy skin on the actress' legs, another source said: "She had a big problem with those photos of her cellulite. She didn't like it. That just was something that contributed to her spiralling but she didn't do much to fix it because of her partying."

Amy Winehouse was too high on drugs to record a James Bond theme song.
The 'Back to Black' singer - who teamed up with producer Mark Ronson for the proposed 'Quantum of Solace' title track in 2008 - allegedly ruined the collaboration by partying too hard at the recording studio.
Amy's estranged husband Blake Fielder-Civil told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "It just turned into an excuse for a wild drink and drugs party. She wasn't concentrating on work."
Mark later scrapped plans to work with Amy, and reportedly halted the sessions because of her drug addiction problems.
Alicia Keys and Jack White's duet 'Another Way to Die' was later chosen by Bond bosses.
Blake claims he was thrilled when Amy said she wanted to record a song for 'Quantum of Solace' - because she promised the track would be a tribute to him.
He explained: "She told me she was writing a song about me and her, and our relationship. How cool is that. To think, in 30 or 40 years, people would be watching this film and still hearing the song about us. That was really amazing - but she messed it all up.
"Amy has always been under intense pressure, even when we were together. So much is expected of her because 'Back to Black' was such an amazing hit. People need to give her a break."
Amy's turbulent relationship with Blake was the inspiration behind her successful 2006 album 'Back to Black'.
The pair have been granted a decree nisi and will finalise their divorce in just over four weeks.

Amy Winehouse "died" after a three-day drug binge, her estranged husband has claimed.
Blake Fielder-Civil has revealed he thought Amy had passed away "in his arms" as the pair got high in London in August 2007.
Blake, 27, claims he and Amy - who have been granted a decree nisi and will finalise their divorce in just over four weeks - had been taking heroin and crack cocaine without sleep for days when the singer collapsed.
He told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "I was terrified. We were sitting on the bed talking. Her eyes suddenly went blank. She started having a fit on the bed. I was panicking. I didn't know how to help her. I was out of it on drugs as well, and was sobbing and crying out, 'Amy!'
"She had an awful look on her face then suddenly she just passed out and stopped breathing. It was the most frightening thing I had ever seen. I felt sure I was watching her die right in front of me. I didn't know what to do or how to save her. I held her to me and I thought she was dying in my arms."
Blake eventually "came to his senses" and started CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), reviving the dying star.
He revealed: "I was panicking but I somehow managed to open her mouth and breathe air down her throat. At first nothing happened then she spluttered and I saw her chest rise."
But as soon as she regained consciousness, Blake claims Amy begged for more drugs, even as she was in a taxi being rushed to hospital.
He added: "I loved her so much. I couldn't bear for her to die in front of me. She had everything going for her but she ended up behaving badly just to shock. After a while that just becomes a bore. I'd warned her to stop but she always wanted to keep on taking the drugs."

Katie Price wants to marry her new boyfriend.
The British glamour model reportedly told cage fighter Alex Reid she wants to get engaged as soon as her divorce from estranged husband Peter Andre is finalised.
Friends of the sexy star are stunned by her shock proposal, which came after Alex took a phone call from former girlfriend Marie Thornton in front of Katie - also known as Jordan.
A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Marie was really shouting at Alex. She was telling him they'd been together for 15 years and this is how he is treating her.
"Katie came into the room and wasn't impressed, so when Marie hung up she laid into him as well. But she also told him she could see them getting engaged after the divorce. Alex certainly didn't say no, put it that way. He is really into her."
Katie and Alex - who both deny they are romantically involved with one another - left Marie "devastated" when she read reports of their noisy sex sessions at Liverpool's Malmaison hotel.
A friend of Marie - who last saw Alex nine days ago at his 34th birthday party and still claims to be in a relationship with the former 'Hollyoaks' actor - said: "They were childhood sweethearts, but Katie has been chasing him for a while and it looks like he has caved in. She had a feeling something was going on after she found text messages on his phone. Alex reassured Marie he and Katie were only friends.
"Marie feels humiliated - like she is the last person to know."
Katie's spokesperson insists Alex - who is listed as in a relationship and claims his interests include "my girlfriend and her little boy" on his MySpace page - has been drafted in as a bodyguard while the 31-year-old star is promoting her latest book, 'Sapphire'.
However, a source at the Liverpool hotel where they spent the night last Thursday (23.07.09), said: "They were all over each other earlier in the night. It was clear they needed to get a room. And when they got inside there was a lot of noise, a constant banging.
"Within about five minutes of them banging the door shut there was another banging noise coming from the room. We certainly couldn't sleep for it. It was loud! When Jordan came out the next morning she had a huge smile."
