Salma Hayek had better keep an eye on her man - hunky Edward Norton's been spotted making friends with a saucy lap dancer. Fight Club star Norton has been dating the Latina Frida actress for three years, but that didn't stop him from chatting to a stunning exotic dancer on a recent night out. Ed and a group of friends spent a boozy night at Los Angeles club Four Deuces earlier this month, and it's there that he met gorgeous model Tracey Banks. One insider tells Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "Tracey's a stunning girl with a cracking figure and all the lads were impressed by her. But it was Ed who really went in for the kill. He couldn't stop staring at her and was paying her loads of compliments.

Edward Norton is a two-time Academy Award-nominated, Golden Globe-winning American film actor and director. He began his acting career in Off-Broadway theater. Moving into film, Norton cut his teeth playing a series of dark, grotesque characters, quickly launching him into the spotlight, beginning with 1996's "Primal Fear", for which he won a Golden Globe and a nomination for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. In 1998, his portrayal of a reformed neo-Nazi in "American History X" earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor and his role as a card shark pitted him opposite Matt Damon in 1998's poker-playing hit "Rounders". His blockbuster performance alongside Brad Pitt as the misanthropic narrator in the 1999 adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's cult novel "Fight Club"... exponentially expanded his growing cult fan base.

Edward Norton's 1996 film debut in Primal Fear earned him an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor. A 1991 graduate of Yale University, Norton began his performing career on the New York stage. His remarkable movie debut was followed by another Oscar nomination for his starring role in American History X (1998) and raves for his performance in Fight Club (1999, co-starring Brad Pitt). Norton was hailed as one of the best new actors of the 1990s, but the much-publicized conflicts behind the scenes of American History X made him seem less like an exacting professional and more like a rebarbative fussbudget. A sometime writer and director, his first feature behind the camera was the comedy Keeping the Faith (2000, starring Ben Stiller), and in 2006 it was reported that he was writing and directing Motherless Brooklyn, based on the novel by Jonathan Lethem. His other roles include the films Rounders (1998, with Matt Damon), Red Dragon (2002, with Ralph Fiennes), The Italian Job (2003, with Charlize Theron), Kingdom of Heaven (2005, starring Orlando Bloom) and The Illusionist (2006, co-starring Jessica Biel).

Edward Norton moved to New York City and began his acting career in Off-Broadway theater. Moving into film, Norton played a series of dark, grotesque characters, quickly launching him into the spotlight, beginning with 1996's Primal Fear. In the film, he took on the role of Aaron Stampler, a deeply disturbed young man accused of a brutal murder, for which he won a Golden Globe and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. In 1998, his portrayal of a reformed neo-Nazi in American History X earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor and his role as a card shark pitted him opposite Matt Damon in 1998's poker-playing hit Rounders. He packed on 30 pounds (15 kg) of muscle for his role in American History X but did not maintain the physique after production. One of his more widely known roles is his performance in the adaptation of the cult novel Fight Club by director David Fincher, which co-starred Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter, has been credited as a factor in expanding Norton's fan base.
