Lauren Conrad, Derek Hough spotted kissing at LA club

Dancing with the Stars professional Derek Hough and Lauren Conrad have fuelled dating rumours by reportedly kissing at an LA nightclub.

The stars were first linked earlier this month, when they attended a live music show together in Hollywood.

Conrad later denied that she and Hough are romantically involved, but a source has claimed that they openly embraced one another on the dance floor at hotspot Trousdale Lounge.

The eyewitness told People: "It was obvious there was a lot of chemistry between the two. She was very smitten… Neither seemed embarrassed about kissing in public."

Conrad's friend Lauren Bosworth and Hough's fellow Dancing with the Stars competitor Mark Ballas were also apparently in attendance.

Hough was previously said to be romancing 'Parachute' singer Cheryl Cole, while Conrad dated Laguna Beach co-star Stephen Colletti and Brody Jenner.
