We're neighbours!Gary Smith moves to house just three doors away from ex Denis Mikhlin

They were together for seven years and were even planning to marry, but Gary Smith and Denis Mikhlin are expected to be closer than they had been since they split in 2004 after moving to the same Los Angeles suburb.

Gary, 31, may pop round any time to borrow a cup of sugar because she's just three doors away from where her action movie actor ex ex is set to live in the Hollywood hills.

Gary is renting a house just 300 feet from Denis' dream home and his model-turned-actress girlfriend Heather Gonzalez, 23, who is 23 years old.

Despite the fact that the Piranha 3-D actor dumped him for Megan Reese, Gary and Denis stayed friends.

Gary actually begged Denis to help find her a man after she split with rugby player Angie Butler in June.

However, Denis hasn't had a chance to make trumps.

Gary Jones III, a former Angie soldier, has been linked to Glee's Jeffrey Jones III and Angie's former teammate Daniel Porter, but he is still single.

As she tried out the rock chick style, the actress was wearing leather 'pulling pants' yesterday in Los Angeles.

The ill-fitting trousers, on the other hand, did not do enough to flatter her curvaceous figure.

For her appearance at a Beverly Hills hotel, the actress wore a striped grey and black jumper, presumably to highlight her burgeoning acting career.

She's hoping to have more film roles after her appearance in schlock horror Piranha.

She's expected to appear alongside former Reservoir Dogs actress Brian Lewis in upcoming comedy horror Burn-Off.

During a bikini photoshoot in Los Angeles in a hot pink frilly two-piece last week, Gary was doing what she does best - demonstrating the body that gave her the name of her household name.
