Here are some new photos of Chris Pine leaving Bootsy Bellows on Friday night in LA. You have to look closely at the photos to see that Chris was actually holding hands with that brunette girl. Just before Chris geared up to promote Star Trek Into Darkness, “someone” managed to confirm that Chris and Dominique Piek had split after about a year together. So Chris was “single” for the promotional tour – and he got to talk about what he was looking for in a woman, which included “intelligence”. Well, it’s time to lower your expectations back down to Audrina Patridge-level, because the girl he was with on Friday is a “swimsuit model” named Amanda Frances. You can see her Twitter here. She seems to be some kind of “glamour model” who does only semi-naked photoshoots.
Chris Pine clearly has a thing for buxom brunettes. After splitting with love Dominique Piek earlier this year, the Star Trek Into Darkness actor was spotted enjoying the company of swimsuit model Amanda Frances at Bootsy Bellows in West Hollywood May 24. The casually-dressed duo held hands as they exited the trendy nightclub and waited for their ride.
“He is very attracted to her,” a source tells Us Weekly of Pine and Frances. “They are having a good time. He’s very excited about his career right now, too.”
During a May 16 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Pine confirmed he was “single” and said he hoped to find a girl with “intelligence, beauty and a sense of humor. . . You have to be able to carry a conversation after the initial attraction kind of dies down.”
Hopefully Pine can overlook Frances’ attraction to another A-list star. In the March issue of Maxim Espana, the New Orleans native named Magic Mike hunk Channing Tatum as her celebrity crush. “Yum!” the 5-foot-10 beauty said of the star, who’s expecting his first child with wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum.
Pine is currently in talks to appear in director Rob Marshall’s movie musical Into the Woods. The 32-year-old would join previously announced cast members Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp and James Corden. Pine’s next film, the action-thriller Jack Ryan, is slated for a Dec. 25 release.
Yeah, beard or no beard, I can’t really get on board with Chris’s taste in women. Several years ago, his people told the tabloids that Chris prefers the C-list famewhore and glamour model types, and it looks like that’s still his type. Is this disappointing? Kind of. But I guess you can’t change what kind of girl you like.

Anyone else getting a massive Robert Pattinson vibe from those pix of Pine in a beanie?
Yes, in that first picture for sure.
ehhh, she’s not even pretty.
Very ‘budget’, non? As far as ‘models’ go…
Indeed.
she’s not even cute in a non-model kinda way, let alone model wise. UGH, these Hollywood actors and their desperation. As soon as they get some fame, they bang whoever crosses their way.
Well, she’s a “glamour model” so the standards are a bit different. In her line of work, it’s good if the face is pretty but it’s not a requirement.
Just for kicks, I checked her Twitter. Oh lord. Girl’s pics are budget. And her booking info is her gmail address (I would feel a wee bit of pity about this but I’m sure that’ll all change soon).
Of course she’s already talking about “someone snoring in [her] bed.” She’s probably just a fling thing, but Chris really needs to be more careful about who he goes home with. The thirst out there is real.
After seeing him on Graham Norton’s show, I thought perhaps he had hidden depths. Now, not so much.
A swimsuit model? Really?
So, because she is a swimsuit model automatically Chris Pine has no depth? Alrighty, then……
right? she must no have any depth because of her job?! UGH. these girls KILL me.
Typical.
He is like Leo then. Pretends to be all intelligent and deep but likes his women to be less than intellectually challenging.
Except that Leo gets to pick from Victoria’s Secret starting lineup
well i am sure pine could get that if he wanted, even adam levine picks from that line up. Pine obviously likes his women more budget.
why are some men like that? Are they just sexist, or is that their taste in women?
That’s just what I don’t understand at all. Men like Dicaprio and Pine. We see that they are both smart, nice, caring guys, who are good actors, whose girlfriends/dating life doesn’t overshadow their body of work. We don’t ever hear any stories about either of them being douchebags or jerks, they’re both good actors, amazing even-Leo more than Chris- so I just don’t understand why they only date models. I mean, I can understand not wanting to date a “normal” person, someone who wouldn’t know how to handle being in the public eye with you, but there are so many women in Hollywood, besides actresses and models, that are intelligent and beautiful.
Like Kate Winslet. She may bring up body image a lot (I think she’s trying to be a role model, that she never had in the media), but she and Leo have one of the truest friendships I’ve ever seen in Holllywood. Just the way that they talk about and to each other in public (see her golden globes speech), they remind me a lot of my mom and her siblings. They’re tight. I mean the only hope for him now, is to end up with an Annette Bening like woman, who will tell him what she wants and won’t settle for less…if he’ll listen. At this point the only two meaningful relationships he’s had has been with Kate and his mom. I don’t get how he could be with Gisele or Bar. Maybe because he was working a lot, as always? Gisele is a snob, not quite on GOOP levels, but Bar is an idiot.
Of course.
Wasn’t it just last week that we were discussing an interview in which he said he liked women with brains?
I’m sure their conversations must be very intellectual.
YES. LOL they are all the same. It’s disgusting.
Hey! Are you saying hot chicks cant be brilliant? What about all of us, the CB Dragonfly Collective?! 😉
If she were that smart (and hot, obviously), she would be one of us. And we would know, because the photographs she would be making some kind of secret dragonfly hand signal.
The wench is dismissed (and his girlfriend, too).
The signal! How could I forget…I stand corrected.
Can you two stop highjacking every post with your hiddleston obsession? Its getting annoying.
Actually, we’re just talking about ourselves, here. Way more interesting than TommyAnne. Feel free to not join in.
Ha! That’s exactly what I thought when I saw this. I hate myself a little for being attracted to him.
I cannot really discuss men who go for “the C-list famewhore and glamour model types”
She isn’t a “glamor model type” – she’s a real actress. The Fast and the Furious, part seven hundred is a totally legit movie, you know.
I don’t know which SHE you might be referring to, because the one I THINK you’re referring to is not on a single FF6 poster, in a single trailer/promo, or been mentioned in a single review I read – even ones that mention Tyrese, CamG and Luda’s tertiary characters. So. Does that still count as ‘actress’?
Ha! Just like Elsa Pataky. I tried to go on youtube and put in FF5 (or 6) Elsa Pataky Scenes, and there wasn’t one hit. I mean if she hadn’t been famewhoring it up all this while, I wouldn’t have even known that she was in the movie? What did she do, play the girl straddling Vin Diesel in the beginning of the trailer?
I was referring to Hiddles, of course. That is all I know how to write about.
Oh @Anna – say ‘tertiary’ again… but say it slow and calmly in your bedroom voice.
t e r t i a r y
that’s it – to the shower with you!
Chris is such a walking cliche.
Of course, there’s always the possibility that glamour models are intelligent too, we shouldn’t jump to discriminate. It’s just not highly probable.
He is right there with Decaprio.
Why do they all aspire to be like dicrapio..he is skeevy at this point. Chris doesn’t even bother going that high tho, just give him z list famew***s
@Thub
Because over the weekend I saw a Buzzfeed post full of shirtless Abercrombie hunks and I sure wouldnt mind being waited on hand and foot (ahem) by them while aboard a luxury yacht. Basically I wouldnt mind being a female Leo. It’s not a high-brow ideal, but it’s a pretty pleasurable one.
A female Leo would be a welcome change..btw I meant to spell thundercloud and my phone messed up.
@Thunder –
Sadly such a woman would be immediately labeled a major slut and most likely would never work a quality project again as this kind of ‘reputation’ would make her unmarketable. I think the only one who could get away with it would be Meryl. And she totally should!
Oh come on, he just got out of a year-long relationship and he’s not looking to get married. The boy’s single, no kids, let him have his fun on the rebound. In three years we will revisit.
I have to say I’m a bit uncomfortable at the way we ladies always dismiss these woman as morons. I’m not saying she’s a rocket scientist but she may be quite nice. We all get enough dismissal from men; until she does something worthy of disdain (honestly I doubt she’ll be around long enough) I’m neutral.
I absolutely agree with your argument; my counterpoint (aside from what Fanty said up-post) is that ‘swimsuit model’ is a nice way of saying ‘glamour model’ and ‘glamour model’ is one step up for 3rd-rate Playboy bunny. There’s nothing inherently wrong with this either, but women of intelligence rarely enter into this kind of occupation because they tend to have much better options.
‘Intelligence’ being a dating prerequisite Chris himself highlighted in his interview, he has given us a carte blanche to parse his choices, based on available evidence.
This. If one likes floozies, that’s fine. At least DiCaprio doesn’t hide his superficiality.
LOL, fair enough. Although as I sit at me desk and begin each long day doing my (very respected) profession and earn a fraction of what these girls can earn in a day….I sometimes have to wonder who the “intelligent” ones are. 😉
@Mia
I will make you feel better.
NYMag has done a number of articles (‘exposes’ is too heavy of a word but that’s what they are) on what models REALLY make. Basically this isnt the 80s-90s any more. When it comes to cash, most models make less than an administrative assistant – that’s why almost all of them have off-season jobs such as waitressing.
When you take away the model-moguls like Tyra/Heidi/Giselle who make most of their income from non-modeling activities, & the Victoria’s Secret gang, it takes something like $200k/year to make it onto the list of 20 HIGHEST PAID MODELS IN THE WORLD! Out of literally thousands.
Often models are paid in last season’s clothes; the highest-profile campaigns usually pay nothing or bare minimum bc the brands laud the benefits of ‘exposure.’ Highest-paid gigs are catalog work for high-end brands (Saks, etc).
Of course the biggest reward is non-financial, it’s exposure & opportunity – to travel, to mingle with celebs, to have your picture taken and hopefully become a celebrity yourself, and then monetize THAT.
being this type of model does not pay anywhere near as well as high end models who do campaigns for big fashion houses. They are not especially well payed.
There was another article which said alot of these models are escorts on the side.
@Mia
And just in case you thought we might be too harsh and judgmental of this ‘nice girl’ – just hours later she’s gone on Twitter to confirm that she’s having a sleepover with Mr. Pine. A class act indeed.
She is one of the those trashy skin models featured in fhm or maxim. Calling her swimsuit model is a nice touch.
I’ve been saying all along that I feel a very strong douche vibe from him. Trust me, I can recognize the Hollywood douches from afar…And let me tell you, he has not entered my favorite Hollywood douches list that includes Franco and Butler.
He said he was mentored by Alec Baldwin and someone said here that he said he would like to be like George Clooney (Something like that). Helloooooo…
Enough said.
I love that you have a douche-radar. That’s brilliant. I should have had you around when I was dating.
@T.Fanty: Well, sometimes having a douche-radar doesn’t help in the dating scene. There are some douches that you cannot resist, :). You just know they are douches, hahaha.
ah love.. I really want to know who appears in your list, it must be very interesting.
I feel you Miss M! I hate when my douche radar goes off when a man is really cute hahaha.
I don’t understand all the fuss, this dude is about as interesting as a paper plate.
@ops:Sorry, I won’t reveal my full list. The only thing I can say some of them are interchangeable. For example, Gerry (Butler) went to a porta-potty with a stranger, automatically out of my list. Then, he gave an interview confirming his hook up with that d-list and he was shocked she opened up about that. So, he was back on my list. See? even some douches have principles. Franco never left my list.
@Tiffany27: I like the paper plate comparison = usable and discardable.
She looks a bit like a brunette Blake lively in the first pic. Also someone needs to love the pretty dum dums, they are people too.
What happens to swim suit models once they pass their expiry date? Do they make tons and can just retire?
The dude dated Audrina Patridge. Enough said.
And he was also with that trashy famewhore Olivia Munn. Remember the texts she leaked?
Why has no one mentioned her shorts? She probably leaves trace vaginal fluid on any surface she sits on. Gross.
Lainey pointed out that she had some interesting tweets after these photos came out. Certainly seems more calculated than stupid.
She seems like the attention-craving type, though. And he may value intelligence, but not as the first priority.
She was tweeting about “someone” being in her bed snoring and retweeting any compliments that people were making on her body. She comes off as a vapid, thirsty attention seeker. It’s a surefire way to get kicked to the curb fast.
Does he have a replicator at home or something, because all of his girlfriends look the same. Amazing.
Because they go out a few times, does that make them an item?
Oh Chris, just when I was starting to get a proper crush on you, you do this.
*SIGH*
I never understand those men who date airheads (I don’t mean a one-night stand, I mean dating). It must be so boring. Like, what do they even talk about?
I know plenty of airheads in my life and they all bore me to tears. Why even bother?
What’s with celeb men who CONTINUOUSLY go for this type??? These are the so called *cough Instagram* “models” who always manage to “accidentally” fall pregnant and/or mysteriously begin to get papped constantly mere minutes after beginning “relationships” with these dumb dudes. (I put that in quotes b/c since when do one night stands or calling paps on yourself to get photographed exiting clubs together=a relationship?)
I truly love my fellow women (for the most part) but you can spot these ubiquitous fame-seeker/gold digger types a MILE away, plus they’re everywhere. (If we can see it, why can’t the men?). If you’ve ever had the misfortune of being on the Hollywood nightclub scene, they all even look exactly the same too: Hair extensions? Check. Collagen lips & huge implants? Check. Spray tan, pale lips and smokey eyes? Check. (Seriously. Just take a look at Jeremy Renner’s baby mama or queen of the B-list celeb chasers, Jasmine Waltz. They’re both completely interchangeable with this girl!) I’d like to think that as a sex we’ve come a lot further along than making mockeries of ourselves this way, but the whole thing just majorly gives me the creeps. Why ladies? Why?
Agreed. He also “dated” jasmine waltz..he loves his z-list famewh0res, I mean “models”
I just looked at this Waltz girl’s twitter page, and guess what? She’s friends with/twitterer follower (however you say it) of Pine’s latest. It shows what he wants…she’s just downright trashy. It does make me despair of my generation. Whatever you’re willing to do for an extra buck, I guess.
Really?? Shows what kind of crowd pine runs with. Someone needs to clue him in that you dont parade your booty calls. keep it on the down low pine!
For a second I thought it was Renner’s special lady and did a WTF isn’t she still nursing a baby back home in Casa de Renner?
Step aside Leo, Renner is the new mentor in town.
