Keeping the flame alive: Kate Beckinsale and husband Len Wiseman shared a romantic clinch on Hollywood Boulevard yesterday
After seven years, the flame is still burning brightly in Kate Beckinsale's relationship.
The actress was caught in a romantic clinch with her husband Len Wiseman while shopping for Halloween costumes yesterday.
She pinned the director against the wall and stole a quick kiss from him before visiting the Hollywood Toys & Costumes store in Los Angeles.
The British actress' 11-year-old daughter Lily, from a previous relationship with actor Michael Sheen, sat the trip out.
Beckinsale and Wiseman, both 37, appear to be one of Hollywood's happiest couples, often putting on affectionate displays during public outings.
And this week, proving love really is in the air, they played bridesmaid and groomsman at the Torque actor Will Yun Lee and actress Jennifer Birmingham's wedding in Shreveport, Louisiana.

The couple met on the set of the first Underworld movie, which Kate was starring in and Len was directing. They married in 2004.
Meanwhile, Kate is set to swap domestic bliss for life on set.
She will star alongside Mark Wahlberg in the film Contraband.
It is a remake of the 2008 Icelandic film Reykjavik-Rotterdam, about a smuggler who tries to move on from his criminal past by becoming a security guard but is lured back into one last job.

Sir Elton John says he can no longer compete with young stars such as Lady Gaga and will never put out another solo single
He is one of the most successful songwriters of his generation.
But Elton John has said his days of writing hit tunes are over – because he can no longer compete with young stars such as Lady Gaga.
The 63-year-old man behind classic hits including Rocket Man, Your Song and Candle in the Wind, said he would continue with several ‘little side projects’, including his collaboration with U.S. pop band Scissor Sisters, but announced he would never put out another solo single.
Sir Elton told GQ magazine: ‘Look, I’m 63. I don’t want to be on VH1 or MTV. I’m not going to compete with JLS or Lady Gaga.
‘I’m at that stage where I don’t think I can write pop music any more. I can’t sit down and do a proper rock song. It was OK when I was 25 or 26, but not any more.
‘I like to do my little side projects like Scissor Sisters and have fun, but I don’t think Elton John will be putting any pop singles out.’
The singer formed half of one of pop’s most successful song-writing partnerships with lyricist Bernie Taupin in 1967 and went on to have more than 50 Top 40 hits.
Sir Elton has said he will continue with several 'little side projects', including his collaboration with the Scissor Sisters
He has sold more than 250 million records in a career spanning five decades. Earlier this month he released The Union, an album of duets with U.S. singer song-writer Leon Russell.
When he launched the album at the BBC Electric Proms last week, he said: ‘I can’t make pop records any more and I hate videos. I just watched VH1 and it makes me want to vomit.
‘I’ve made 40-odd albums. People aren’t screaming for another Elton John record – I’m not screaming to make another record.’
Despite criticising contemporary pop singers including Alexandra Burke and Leona Lewis, he has shown admiration for Lady Gaga.
Sir Elton performed a duet with the flamboyant American singer last February at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.

Home James: Wayne Rooney steps into his waiting limousine while an airport officials stows his luggage
He's been caught cheating on his pregnant wife with a prostitute, but when you're a pampered football star called Wayne Rooney, you still get red carpet treatment.
Yesterday Rooney was given extraordinary treatment when he jetted in with Coleen from their £30,000 holiday in Dubai.
He was greeted by airport bosses on the tarmac and whisked through all the normal formalities, leaving fellow passengers shocked and disgusted. One said: 'Who does he think he is'?
Escort: An official car driven by an airport manager leads Wayne Rooney's limousine past the usual baggage and document formalities at Manchester
The £250,000 a week Manchester United star stepped from the Emirates A380 super jumbo at Manchester airport and then:
Strolled 50 yards from the plane to a waiting limousine where he helped stow his luggage inside.
Sped off with an official airport 4x4 escort vehicle leading the way.
Escaped the usual delays with the Customs queue with a private check of his and Coleen's travel documents.
Airport officials admitted that Rooney, 25, and Coleen had been treated exactly the same as members of the Royal Family.
A duty manager told the Sunday Mirror: 'Mr Rooney completed all his obligations before leaving the airport. This was the same protocol we would use for members of the Royal Family or other VIPs.
'This is used when there is the possibility of an individual's liberties being infringed. We allowed him unimpeded progress around the airport.'
This way Mr Rooney: The soccer star and his wife in the silver limousine follow the airport car at Manchester
As their fellow passengers walked to the baggage carousel and Customs area, the couple were chauffeured back to their £4.5 million mansion .
Twenty minutes later Rooney sped off in his Audi RS4 to watch his team beat Spurs 2-0 at Old Trafford.
When he got to the ground he was surrounded by club security officials who ushered him into his seat where he happily signed autographs and spoke to England manager Fabio Capello who was watching the game.
Rooney had spent the last five days in Dubai sunbathing and resting an injured ankle at the seven-star BurjAl Arab hotel - one of the world's dearest.
He spent a lot time at the pool playing happy families with Coleen after it was revealed he had romped with escort girls jenny Thompson and Helen Woods in a hotel while she was pregnant.
Good holiday? Security officals at Manchester United greet Rooney as he arrives at the ground to see his team play Spurs
Coleen is reported to have paid £1,000 to have a different designed bikini to wear every day. Drinks like vodka cocktails cost £18 a time.
It's been a traumatic fortnight for Britain's highest-paid footballer who was branded a 'whore' by angry fans and a hate mob swooped on his home when he announced he was quitting the Red Devils.
Days later he did a U-turn and signed a five-year mega deal, but supporters are still furious with him.
One message on the club forum said: 'He should have been in rehab 24/7 to nurture his ankle. Instead he was in Dubai sunbathing.
'It's hard to feel sorry for spoilt millionaire brats.'
Another fan from Sweden wrote: 'He's nothing but a sack of lard waiting to explode.' Meanwhile, Coleen is preparing a first birthday party for son Kai on Tuesday.
Catering vans have been seen at the house with a marquee in the grounds.

Not just any dressing gown... Even Cheryl Cole loves a bargain, and a cosy one at that! The millionairess singer was captured relaxing in a £25 M&S pink fluffy dressing gown and fury slippers whilst shooting a new L'Oreal advert
She spends hundreds of thousands of pounds on clothes every year.
So it is refreshing to see even someone like Cheryl Cole knows a bargain when she sees one.
The 27-year-old was pictured taking a break between shoots on the latest £500,000 L'Oreal advertisement wearing a £25 pink fluffy dressing gown from Marks and Spencers.
And the star pattern on the robe gave fans an insight into what the singer must really think of herself.
She teamed it with a pair of £35 fluffy mule slippers and almost had the girl-next-door look down to a tee.
And it would have been convincing, if it weren't for the full face of makeup, £750 hair extensions, £160 eyelash extensions and £90 manicure.
The picture will no doubt boost sales of the robe - which is already one of Marks and Spencers best sellers - by giving it the Cheryl Cole effect.
Bargain! Coming in at a very reasonable £25, this pink dressing gown is a best-seller at M&S
Last week Selfridges sold out of the £32 bondage-effect tights the singer wore on her X Factor appearance and a waiting list was created for the thousands of disappointed fans who missed out.
Meanwhile the X Factor judge is reported to have stormed out of Saturday night's show because she was furious at fellow judge Simon Cowell.
The 51-year-old finally turned on his self-professed 'best buddy' and criticised her for neglecting one of her acts.
After Treyc Cohen's rendition of Take That's Relight My Fire, he praised the hopeful's performance but then accused Miss Cole for not putting as much energy into grooming her as he does with the others.
He said: 'Treyc I cannot fault that vocal. You are a great, great singer. The problem is that I do not think there is a connection between you and Cheryl. Turning to her mentor he said: 'You're not turning her into a recording artist, there is nothing original yet. You've got to put some of the energies you are putting into the others to make her stand out.
Miss Cole looked gobsmacked before snapping back: 'You are out of order, we have got a good connection.'
Cowell then challenged her claim by asking: 'Where does she live then?' The 27-year-old looked horrified as she struggled to give him an answer, telling him 'this is so stupid' before finally saying 'Birmingham'.
The performance was crucial for 25-year-old Treyc after she was in the bottom two last week and narrowly lost out to John Adeleye after being saved by the judges. But she insisted she thought her mentor was great and that there was definitely a connection between them.

Later in the show the music mogul revealed who he thought Miss Cole was neglecting Treyc for when he told 17-year-old Cher Lloyd: 'My only criticism is that Cheryl is obviously trying to turn you into her.'
The attack will shock fans who thought Cowell was very much in the Girls Aloud singer's corner, particularly after he revealed in an interview last month that there were 'definitely two divisions' on the judging panel.
He claimed that Louis Walsh, 58, and Dannii Minogue, 39, were jealous of he and Miss Cole's friendship and said that when he sits next to her he 'forgets everyone else'.

She was clearly attempting to be fashion forward in her purple and pink Ina Soltani dress.
But sadly, Cheryl Cole ended up looking more like the Big Purple One in a box of Quality Street chocolate in the ruffled outfit as she joined her fellow judges on the X Factor panel.
The 27-year-old singer once again missed out in the fashion competition to her fellow judge Dannii Minogue, 39, who kept it simple in an asymmetric black sequinned dress from her own Project D collection.
Missing the mark: Cheryl failed to make an impact in her Ina Soltani purple and pink dress, while Dannii looked chic in a black sequinned outfit from her own Project D range
And it wasn't only her outfit which ensured Dannii topped the leaderboard, as her young and fresh styling also kept her ahead of the pack.
While Cheryl's newly-red hair was swept back into an up 'do which added years on the former Girls Aloud star, Dannii went au naturel with her blonde bob straight and chic.
But while Cheryl and Dannii might be feuding on the fashion front, they certainly found themselves united on The X Factor tonight when Jamiroquai's Jay Kay took to the stage.
Styling: Cheryl's up 'do did little to flatter her, while Dannii's sleek bob flattered her body and her ouftit
Following an X-rated rant earlier in the day when Jay Kay had been more than a little dereogatory about both the X Factor and Cheryl and Dannii as judges, the girls decided to stand their ground and refuse to applaud after his performance of new single White Knuckle Ride.
So cute! Dannii posted a picture of her son Ethan dressed up like a pumpkin on her Twitter page
As Simon and Louis clapped, Cheryl sat still with a sullen expression on her face, and Dannii was equally unenthusiastic.
It also seems the girls are ahead of the game in terms of their finalists on this year's X Factor.
While Cheryl is the only judge to still have all four of her acts, Dannii comes in a close second with three finalists left as Louis finds himself in third place with two acts and Simon languishes behind with just one finalist left - following the departure of girl group Belle Amie on tonight's show.
Meanwhile, as well as enjoying her X Factor duties, Dannii has also been making the most of her weekend by spending time with her son Ethan as he enjoys his first Halloween.
Sending a message to boyfriend Kris Smith, Dannii wrote on her Twitter page: 'Happy Halloween from Mummy Minogue and our little Pumpkin.'
She then posted a picture of three-month-old Ethan dressed up in an orange pumpkin outfit with a huge smile on his face.
But model Kris was less than impressed with Ethan's new look, tweeting in reply: 'Ahhhhh my poor boy!'

No pies Aloud: Nadine Coyle looked very thin in a Non Blondes silver dress and red Gina sequin stilettos when she performed at London club night G.A.Y. last night
She's already got the scarily-thin legs - but now worryingly skinny Nadine Coyle has got the lollipop head to match.
The 25-year-old Girls Aloud star, who lives in Los Angeles, sported a bouffant beehive hair-do that made her head look even bigger and spherical on top of her stick-like body.
Wearing a silver fitted sparkly dress that emphasised her tiny waist, the singer was performing her solo single Insatiable at London nightclub G.A.Y. last night.
Going solo: The star debuted her solo single Insatiable live as well as performing Girls Aloud favourites Love Machine and The Promise
The beauty from Northern Ireland has often insisted that she doesn't have a weight problem and loves pigging out on greasy breakfasts.
Earlier this year, she maintained: 'I am 100 per cent fit and healthy and I am the right weight for my type of body. I am totally happy with my weight. I’m just doing a lot of running with my trainer back home in LA.'
She added: 'When I get back to Derry I always enjoy a good fry-up that my mum makes. That’s my big weakness. I also eat too much chocolate as well. If I’m honest I’m not a particularly healthy eater.'
Thin: Nadine Coyle's arms look tiny too as she leaves London's Heaven club after performing at the G.A.Y. night
Curvy: A healthier-looking Nadine with Girls Aloud bandmates Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh in 2003
As reported by the Daily Mail earlier today, Nadine - who has distanced herself from her Girls Aloud bandmates since moving to the United States - could be about to make their relationship even more strained with a tell-all book.
The star is in talks to put pen to paper and dish the dirt on her time with bandmates Cheryl Cole, Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts and Sarah Harding.
Despite management constantly insisting that the band are only on hiatus and are set to reform again next year, it could sound the death knell for the much-loved girl group.
TV cape-r: The star sang live on Paul O'Grady's ITV chat show on Friday night - accompanied by the host on piano
Quick change: Nadine then removed the cape to reveal a sexy leather dress
Nadine also claimed lat week that she wasn't invited to Cheryl's performance on the X Factor last week.
She was the only member of the group not to be watching from the wings as Cheryl debuted new single Promise This.
The Northern Irish star also appeared to take a pop at Cheryl - who mimed for much of the track - when she said she'd only ever perform on shows where she could sing live.
She also said that she would never be a judge on the show as she couldn't be mean to the contestants.
Talking to Metro, the Irish singer said: 'I only want to do live shows. What happens with TV shows is you can't always do things live.
'They have a lot of dummy stuff sat there and you can't really get the full effect. However, she insisted that she wanted to see the rest of the girls soon.
She told the Mirror: 'It's fine it really is. I really want to see them [the girls] this week. Fingers crossed, I'm hoping we can. I guess it's long overdue.' Let's hope if when they do reunite, it's over dinner.
Nadine's single Insatiable meanwhile is out 1 November, followed by her debut solo album, also called Insatiable, on 8 November.

It's a close call: Katie Waissel survived the X Factor by the skin of her teeth after performing Etta James' Trust In Me
She thought she had found her niche with 'quirky' songs like I Wanna Be Like You The Jungle Book and Bewitched.
But last night Katie Waissel came the closest she has ever come to being axed from the X Factor after going head-to-head with girl group Belle Amie in the final showdown.
However, the 24-year-old singer was given another chance after Belle Amie were finally thrown off the show.
The verdict: Katie and Belle Amie anxiously wait with host Dermot O'Leary to find out which of them will be going home
Belle Amie found themselves in the bottom two for the third time, and did their best in the sing-off with Katie Waissel by singing Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway
Before singing their hearts out for survival, the girls told Dermot: 'We are ready to fight for our place. We want to be here.'
After a shaky start, things went from bad to worse for Belle Amie, who sang both out of tune and out of time.
Time to go home: Belle Amie find out they have been voted off the X Factor, after the votes go to deadlock
Tears all round: The girls tearfully insisted it wouldn't be the end of the road for Belle Amie
Katie, who decided to sing Etta James' Trust In Me, added: 'I'm feeling nervous but OK. A little kind of...' before trailing off.
Walking nervously onto the stage wearing a sequinned top and harem-style trousers, a barefoot Katie did her best to perform the famous track to her best ability.
And, despite making it through to the end of the song, Katie then broke down in tears as she realised she could be the one going home.
Make or break: The girls took to the stage for their final time to perform Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway
She's through: But an emotional Katie managed to once again pull it out of the bag for her final song
Taking to the stage for what could be the final time, Katie and Belle Amie waited anxiously to find out their fate.
Struggling to contain her emotions, Katie broke down further when Simon told her: 'The most amazing thing with you Katie is that every time you're in this position you sing better than you do on the main show.'
However, Simon then added: 'But 100 per cent I'm going to stand by my girls.'
The judges: While Dannii looked good in a black sequinned dress, Cheryl missed the fashion stakes again
Not so glamorous: Cheryl managed to look years older by pulling her hair back while Dannii looked radiant
After Cheryl decided to back her own act and send home Belle Amie, Dannii also decided to send home Belle Amie.
But then Louis shocked viewers when he opted to send home Katie, sending things to deadlock.
Referring to the public vote, it was Dermot's duty to tell Belle Amie their time on the show was finally up and they would be leaving the programme.
In floods of tears, the girls said they wouldn't be breaking up the band that was created specifically through the TV talent show, adding: 'We are not giving up, this is not the end of Belle Amie. We have only been together for a couple of months but it has been amazing.'
And Simon, who now only has one act left, added: 'They have been a pleasure to work with. I don't think it's the end for this group, they're survivors.'
The judges opened the show as always, and most of the attention was on what Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole were wearing.
Rocking it out: Bon Jovi were the first performance of the night, and were joined by the finalists
Enjoying yourself, guys? All the contestants looked as though they were having fun with the performance
While Dannii once again looked stunning in a black sequinned dress from her Project D range, while Cheryl Cole once again failed to hit the fashion mark in a slightly odd Quality Street-inspired purple and pink dress with ruffles galore.
And, with her newly-red hair pinned back, Cheryl added managed to add years onto herself in a matter of seconds.
The first performance from the evening came from legendary rock group Bon Jovi, who were joined by the X Factor finalists as they sang their classic track Livin' On A Prayer.
Lead singer Jon Bon Jovi sounded as fresh as ever as he belted out his famous lyrics, while many of the contestants looked as though they couldn't believe their luck as they shared the stage with the band.
Controversial: Jamiroquai's Jay Kay was up next with a performance of new single White Knuckle Ride
Bad blood: While Simon and Louis applauded, Cheryl and Dannii kept silent following the singer's rant
Shocking: Jay Kay told Dermot he 'had reservations' about appearing on The X Factor
Belle Amie got into the groove by playing air guitar, while even Mary put her inhibitions aside to dance along to the undeniably catchy song.
And Bon Jovi were so impressed by the finalists' peformance that they decided to make them a unique offer.
Asked what he thought of the talent in this year's competition, Jon said: 'They're going to be opening for us on tour, watch out!'
Having her cake and eating it: Rihanna was literally the icing on the cake as she took to the stage
Rapturous applause: The judges gave Rihanna a much more enthusiastic response than Jay Kay
Carnage: Dermot wasn't too impressed as he got caught in the crossfire of a food fight in the background
In the second of the three performances of the evening, Jamiroquai's Jay Kay took to the stage with an exclusive rendition of his new single White Knuckle Ride. Jay Kay: 'I have to say, I had reservations about coming on the show, but everyone has been charming and I've had a lovely time.'
However, there appeared to be some bad blood between Cheryl and Jay Kay, as the X Factor judge steadfastly refused to applaud his performance, and looked sullen as host Dermot O'Leary spoke to the singer afterwards.
Pretty in pink: Rihanna's performance went down a storm with the audience and the judges
Cheryl's refusal to applaud comes after Jay Kay launched an astonishing rant against the X Factor female judges just hours before appearing on the show.
He said: 'What are they going to tell me about f****** music? What the f***. When have you ever done anything? You're useless. The pair of you. I mean you look great and I'd like to f****** s**g you but that's all.'
Talking the judges a little later in the show, Dermot commented on the apparent feud between the judges and Jay Kay, telling Cheryl: 'Cheryl, nice to see a smile on your face. Wow, I'm never going to make enemies with you!'
Delighted: Cheryl can't hide her delight as Cher is voted through
Through: Rebecca Ferguson and Cher Lloyd find out they have made it another week
Controversial: Wagner was booed as he made it through to the next week's programmes
Rihanna finished the trio of performances of the evening, performing her new single The Only Girl In The World.
Wearing a pink corset dress with romper suit underneath, Rihanna had a Marie Antoinette style food fight going on behind her as she belted out her soon-to-be next hit.
After her performance, Rihanna encouraged her dancers to continue in their food fight, while Dermot said: 'I thought Lady Gaga was weird, but this is carnage!' However, Rihanna received a slightly more enthusiastic response from the judges, who all stood to applaud her after her energetic performance.
Then it was time to find out which of the contestants had made it through to next week's shows.
Devastated: Katie finds out she will have to perform in the sing-off alongside Belle Amie
Resigned: Belle Amie looked as though they had been expecting they would be in the bottom
After all the judges took to the stage with their remaining finalists, Dermot began to announce which had been lucky enough to get a second chance.
Paije, Cher, Aiden, One Direction, Matt, Rebecca, Mary and Treyc were all through, as well as Louis' controversial act Wagner, who refused to give into the audience's boos and bowed gallantly before leaving the stage.
Next week's show will see former X Factor alumni Shayne Ward and Dannii's sister Kylie Minogue perform.
