Courtney Stodden dating Anna Nicole Smith's ex-boyfriend Edward Lozzi after Doug Hutchison divorce? Young beauty cozies-up with 53-year-old publicist [PHOTO]

Earlier this month, 18-year-old Courtney Stodden and her 53-year-old husband Doug Hutchison announced their official separation. But apparently, the blonde bombshell just loves older men! On Thursday (Nov. 21) Stodden attended a star-studded event in LA alongside Anna Nicole Smith's ex-boyfriend Edward Lozzi. And he's 53-years-old, too!

Stodden, flaunting a sexy black mini-dress, cozied-up to the popular Beverly Hills publicist on the red carpet on Thursday evening during Ocean Nation's Pop, Fashion and Sport event. Check out the photos here.

However, a source for the Daily Mail insists that Stodden isn't even dating Lozzi. Still, the two looked VERY friendly, and the aspiring songstress had no problem showing-off her ample cleavage to her older guy friend.

Lozzi once worked in politics - in 1999 he served as press secretary for Sim Farer, the U.S. Representative to the United Nations General Assembly. He was also the White House Press Advance Office aide for George H.W. Bush during his administration.

Before her tragic death in 2007, Lozzi had a brief romance with Anna Nicole Smith in the 1990s - a woman he considered the "Marilyn Monroe for our generation" -

"She was just-just a funny, funny girl, sense of humor that just would blow you away. She was nothing like she's perceived," he said of remembering Smith. "She was dumb like a fox, if you know what I mean. A lot of that was an act. She was very sharp and witty, with a lot of one-liners... Kissing her was like kissing Marilyn Monroe. They have the same mouth. If you ever notice, if you look, you see photographs of her teeth and her lip structure, they're just like Marilyn. It's just uncanny."

According to RumorFix, Stodden also relates to these "beautiful, iconic women" from "the pin-up days" including Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, and Brigitte Bardot:

"Those women were old souls, and I feel like I can connect with them... We are both old souls and we're having fun, and being glamorous and flirty."

What do Mstars fans think of Stodden's new older "boy toy?"
