Jessica Simpson & Jeremy Renner seen “flirting up a storm”

Jeremy Renner arrives at DGA Awards in Los Angeles

I think these two may have gotten Oprah’s blessing! Yesterday, both Jessica Simpson and Jeremy Renner appeared on Oprah-related shows, and then they hung out together and “flirted up a storm” at a pre-Oscar party in Hollywood last night. Gah! Jess and Jeremy? It could happen, I suppose. I don’t really know anything about my guy or his type, and the only other woman he’s been associated with publicly is Charlize Theron. So maybe he likes blondes. And Charlize is too statuesque for him, so he decided to go for a pocket blonde, like Jessica. Here’s more, from People:

Was there a love connection? Jessica Simpson, chatting with The Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner during a cocktail party for his movie at the L.A. home of Madonna’s manager Guy Oseary.

Simspon, who lives next door, arrived with hairdresser Ken Paves. But she spent most of her time with the Oscar nominee.

“Jeremy spent the night hitting on Jessica like crazy,” the source says. “They were really flirting up a storm.” Paves encouraged the two and, the source says, “Jessica loved it!”

When the party was over, the two exchanged numbers, entering them into their phones.

As I said, I could see it. They would make some kind of strange sense together, and Jeremy does seem like a pretty nice guy. He’s musical too! Jessica will like that. And Jeremy will like her boobs.

Regarding their appearances on Oprah-related shows, Jessica actually got to sit down with The Oprah and talk about John Mayer and the mom jeans, et cetera. Oprah had most of Jessica’s quotes online yesterday (which we already covered), but I enjoyed watching the full interview. Jessica came across well, I think. True, she never seems very bright, and yesterday was no exception. But she seems like a sweet girl, and a young woman who is struggling to be a good person, and to be strong and resilient. I liked her even more after the interview.

As for Jeremy’s interview (done by Ben Affleck) on Oprah’s pre-Oscar special, I was a little “meh” on him. He seems like a sweetheart, I guess, but the whole thing with Ben Affleck just seemed very uncomfortable. I’m guessing that the two guys are actually quite friendly, but they had never really hung out, buddy-buddy. Here’s a short clip from it:

    YES! I was waiting for you to post this. I think these two look great together. I’m, like literally crossing my fingers hoping they’d be a couple soon. I don’t personally know Jeremy Renner, but something about his aura makes me believe him and Jessica just mesh together.

  2. Kevin says:

    Better wrap it up JR. No need to get napalm on your wanker. Since she opened up Coochie City she has more dates than she can keep clean panties for. I bet Nick is at home fuming, “Bitch made me beg and marry her to get the keys to Tuna Town!”

  3. MymaJane says:

    I actually think they’d be really cute together.

  4. e says:

    Finally! A guy I can get on board with. I hope this is true.

  5. QB says:

    She is already looking for the next boyfriends!!!!!!!! She needs a break from the boyfriends and give her full attention to her career because it has tanked.

  6. prettytarheelfan says:

    Yay for Jessica! Bless her heart, she seems so sweet but just a bit dim. Ridiculously pretty, 10lbs up or down, and I hope this guy is a sweetheart to her. Billy scared me, Mayer is a douche, and if she truly hooked up with Johnny Knoxville and whoever else, all I can say is ewww.

  7. Allison says:

    I think they would be great together. He is the kind of guy who would treat Jessica with love and respect (unlike her douchey exes like John Mayer and Tony Romo) which she deserves. And he needs a girl he can depend on- shes such a beautiful and sweet girl, she has always come across to me as being very loyal and loving in her relationships on. I hope they get together!

  8. Goosie says:

    Aw, I kind of like this. I don’t know anything about Jeremy Renner aside from the scattering of press and interviews I’ve been reading/seeing lately, but he seems funny and smart.

    I think Jess needs to have a litmus test…if a dude is willing to hold hands with her in public (and look cheerful about it) then we have liftoff. She’s been with too many guys who think she’s “sexual napalm” but are embarrassed as hell to be in public with her. She deserves much better than that!

  9. meme says:

    but Jeremy is supposed to be with mememememememmemememeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  10. guesty says:

    just loved her on newlyweds. too bad she doesn’t even realize she can’t recreate who she was then.

  11. elina says:

    why do so many people hate on Jessica? i think shes sweet and shes a grown ass woman and can date and talk to whoever she wants to. they would be cute together.

  12. Goosie says:

    Am listening to the recent Fresh Air w/ Renner right now. Terry Gross makes anyone she interviews like 1000% cooler.

    eta: Kaiser & CB, a few days ago Chloe Sevigny was on Fresh Air and if you are at all interested in her, I highly recommend it…it was a great interview!

  13. Maritza says:

    Yeah! Now we’re talking! These two would look really cute together. Jeremy and Jessica that even sounds nice too.

  14. Carrie says:

    I could see it.
    I don’t hate Jessica- she’s a little vapid, but harmless and sweet and she seems to be trying to be more than blonde hair and big boobs.

    Jeremy Renner is a cutie, and he could do worse than a hot blonde with a sweet personality.

    Personally, I’d be all over Charlize, but whatever!

  15. no way says:

    He’s with Charlize Theron.

  16. chariliz Charm says:

    Did you watch the whole interview he
    said that he is not into dating right
    now… and he is bringing his mom not
    a DATE to the Oscars.. Just like how
    fake it was that he was with Charlize
    Theron so is this he does not date
    ditzy women..!!

  17. meme says:

    jeremy and charlize are very good friends and i think they’d make a great couple if he’s not going to me with meme!!!! boo hoo.

  18. LindyLou says:

    Hope Jeremy doesn’t mind when Princess Farts-alot drops one at the dinner table LOL Jus kiddin’. I love these two!

  19. Ethel says:

    I actually think they would make a cute couple.

  20. jess says:

    Erghh noo, I hope his smoking makes her hate him, I wish he would pick someone talented and pretty, smart wouldn’t hurt either.

  21. Aitch says:

    no no no!!!!
    Hoping for an upset on Sunday with JR for the win.

  22. meme says:

    Aitch – not gonna happen though i think JR deserves it. jeff bridges is going to get the best actor oscar because he’s been around forever and has given a lot of terrific performances.

  23. california angel says:

    Cute write-up, “he will like her big boobs” lol

  24. MMS says:

    As long as he doesn’t expect her to read any of his scripts, or a book, or the back of a napkin it should work. She seems sweet, but a bit dim and you can’t deny she’s a very attractive woman. If he is not big into the brain department but big into the chest department, we have a winner. Although, I totally agree with Carrie about Charlize. And Kevin, spot on about Nick.

  25. Aitch says:

    very true Meme about Bridges– but the same (almost) could be said for Colin Firth.

  26. Glow says:

    Now that’s better. Charlize is too pretty for this guy. He’s better of with Yessica. I think all this Charlize thing is just publicity.

  27. Me says:

    Bullshit, Renner would never deta such a stupid bimbo like her, and the rumors about him and Charlize weren’t true either.
