Dancy- Steve Mack / Photorazzi"An unnamed Daily News eyewitness says Danes and Dancy got together November 2nd, a month before the split with Crudup.According to the unnamed Daily News source, "they shared a bed 'with the door two feet ajar, and everybody listening' in his suite at the swanky hotel where the cast was staying while filming "Evening" in Newport, R.I." Allegedly Hugh is an equal opportunity lover, who eats oysters AND snails. "The cast was pretty much drunk every night," says the unnamed Daily News snitch. "Hugh also made out with [screenwriter] Michael Cunningham in the lobby.""Plus, he was seen snogging the gay hotel manager, who lost his job." The Daily News confirmed through a hotel rep that the kissable manager had left, but insisted it was not over that snogging incident. Back in 2004, Danes was involved in the break-up of Billy Crudup and his very pregnant girl Mary Louise Parker. Billy Crudup terminated their seven-year relationship, reportedly leaving Parker for Claire Danes, while Parker was seven months pregnant with their child. Parker delivered a boy at New York's St. Vincent's Hospital, the New York Daily News reported, and she named him William after his father.
