Teri Hatcher and Ryan Seacrest Caught Kissing  3/30/06

Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher and American Idol host Ryan Seacrest have been photographed kissing after a cozy lunch in Malibu, California.

The pair engaged in very public displays of affection as they took a stroll on the beach following lunch at a local restaurant last Saturday (25MAR06).

Seated at a beach-view table, the couple ordered lobster, two orders of oysters, crab cakes, bottled water and wine.

Hatcher was also seen giving Seacrest a neck massage and frequently laughing out loud at his jokes. After their lunch, they were photographed with their arms around each other, holding hands and kissing numerous times on the beach.

The couple were initially introduced by a mutual friend and went on a group date at Los Angeles restaurant L'Orangerie on 10 March (06).

A source tells American publication US Weekly, "It's not super-serious.

They're not on the road to marriage or anything."

Hatcher was most recently linked to George Clooney and Seacrest split from his girlfriend of two years, actress Shana Wall in July (05).

The source adds, "They're taking it slow."
