All's been quiet on the Jennifer Aniston dating front, which means it's time for her to pick a new guy before her picture is splashed all over the tabloids with some headline like "Jennifer's So Alone!"

Her latest target? Her He's Just Not That Into You costar Bradley Cooper. According to friends, the good-lookin' pair have been "hooking up" for about a month. Jen and Brad 2.0 first made flirty headlines when Page Six caught Bradley trying to get into J's Management party incognito in some douchey disguise.

Partygoers blab Aniston and Coop "flirted up a storm," while Jen "kept touching [Bradley's] chest and whispering in his ear." All in front of B's ex-wife, Jennifer Esposito, who was all but pleased about it. Maybe J.A. was just happy to be on that side of things for once.

So are Jen and Bradley really getting that hot 'n' heavy? Aniston's rep says, "We don't respond to rumors about her personal life," while Cooper's publicist was quick to shoot back: "There is no truth to it."

Well, we all know how truthful PR folks are, so it's time to check in with our source deep inside Camp Aniston:

"Yeah, it's true. But right now, it is just very low-key," dishes our insider.

Oh, Jen, what will we do with you? Cooper is going to be absolutely no different than Vince Vaughn, Brad Pitt, or John Mayer. Trust. They all have a lot of character traits in common—like being into themselves more than a girl on their arm, for starters.

And if Aniston seriously wants a family, like she says she does, Cooper is going to be another failed fling like the rest of them. These entertainment guys will always have an eye looking elsewhere.

If Jennifer were actually serious about wanting kids (which clearly she isn't right now), then why not date outside the Hollywood bubble? She should go for a high-powered suit behind the scenes—someone who adores and slaves for J.A., like her Brad to Angelina.

Or hell, even an athlete would mix things up, 'cause lord knows they're straight shooters. A real man would be a nice change for the babe.

But right now, Jen is on the path to being let down...again.
