Do you remember Josh Hartnett? He seemingly disappeared from the mainstream Hollywood radar a handful of years ago, which also coincided with the final breakup of his long-term relationship relationship with Scarlett Johansson in late 2007. Of course, those two broke up more than once, and a Dlisted reader spotted him attempting to get over ScarJo during one of their “off” periods by getting a beej in a bar bathroom from some random chick. Guess it didn’t work.

Anyway, I always found Josh to be sort of geeky cute even though I unfailingly associate him with the womanizing character he played in The Virgin Suicides. And he might very well be a douche in real life too. He’s taken to dating models and has supposedly been in a relationship with girlfriend Sophia Lie for about a year. Did they break up? Who knows, but Star has him hitting up Amanda Seyfried now:

Opposites attract? Well, maybe. But gorgeous Amanda Seyfried, 26 — who recently split from regular guy Andrew Joblon, a real estate exec, after five months together — and hunky Josh Hartnett just might be a perfect match. When the double-dated with “Dexter” costars (and back-on couple) Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter at L.A.’s Chateau Marmont on Jan 28, “Amanda and Josh were so comfortable with each other,” and observer tells Star. He really seemed into her.” That might be why Josh, 33, has cooled it with model Sophia Lie, whom he was seeing for a year!

That’s a strange little tidbit about Hall and Carpenter, right? Us Weekly does indeed have a new story (with a cozy photo of him holding her) about their possible reconcilation even though an insider claims they’re merely “good friends.” You know, good friends who cuddle and hold each other.

Part of me wants to believe this story because I think Josh and Amanda would make a smashing couple in the looks department. Still, Amanda has made quite a commotion about not being promiscuous and not having sex with everyone she dates; and Josh is the guy who got a random bathroom beej, so he might not be into a lady of so-called virtue. However, Amanda really does have a weakness for douches as evidenced by her past relationships with Ryan Phillipe and Dominic Cooper, so maybe she’ll fall for Josh after all.

Also, both Josh and Amanda are dog people. That’s gotta count for something.

The socially awkward Amanda Seyfried covers the March issue of Glamour. While the cover shot (seriously, a hairdryer?) looks like it belongs on the cover of Teen magazine instead, the rest of the shoot (included below) is much better. As far as the accompanying interview is concerned, Amanda discusses her on-off again boyfriend Dominic Cooper, babies, and getting naked with her dog.

On dating non-celebs: You learn very quickly what people are so enamored with, and it’s not necessarily me. I think it’s all the bullsh-t of the idea of someone who’s famous, which seems more exotic than the fact. You have to be careful whom you date, but I had a great time this summer.”

On her ex, Dominic Cooper: “He was my last real boyfriend. We still joke about having kids, like, ‘If it doesn’t work out with other people, we might as well just have a child,’” Seyfried says. “And there’s a part of that that feels. . . possible.”

Is she going through a 20s slut phase? “No! I’m terrified of being promiscuous. I don’t like the feeling you get when it’s not something that you truly want to do, and I hate the emotional abuse you give yourself afterward. It’s just uncomfortable when you’re with somebody and you’re like, ‘I don’t really know if I’m even comfortable with this. Why did I? Eww!’ I think dating can come without sex. I think that’s a really fun way to do it. Right now I’m happy to not have someone’s naked body around me. Except for my dog’s.”

She’ll never date Justin Timberlake: “I think any female that meets him at first is like, ‘I want to date you.’ He seems so perfect, but you get to know him, and he’s a good pal. He’ll tell you what he really feels. But, you know, he’s really famous, which has its downsides.”

On having kids: “I think about kids all the time. I feel like the next person I commit to, that’s going to be the guy who I’m going to have kids with. That’s in my crazy female brain. So that’s why I’m like, ‘I can’t commit.’”

When Amanda insists that she’s not promiscuous and can do dating without sex, is she trying to tell us that she never slept with sort of ex-boyfriend Ryan Phillipe? I really hope that’s the case — not because I don’t want Amanda to get any action but because it’s so damn amusing to think of Ryan wining and dining a gorgeous chick (and taking her to Paris) and still not getting anywhere in the sack. Let’s face it, Ryan is a douche, and Amanda is better off without him.

As opposed to her personal life, Amanda seemingly has no problem playing loose women on camera. She’s currently playing Linda Lovelace, got super naked in Chloe, and made out with Megan Fox in Jennifer’s Body. So I guess she reserves her wild side for her acting career, which is fine. Here’s the rest of the Glamour editorial spread with Amanda. She’s so damn unmistakably beautiful, but it’s such a shame that she’s not terribly interesting as an interview subject.

It’s always interesting to me to see which stars in an ensemble get chosen to represent their film overseas. At the New York premiere of In Time, Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried shared the red carpet with Olivia Wilde and Matt Bomer, two of the other “names” in the film. And now In Time premiered in London last night – and suddenly there’s no Olivia or Bomer. For why? Did JT and Amanda not want to share? Or was it because In Time kind of bombed in the domestic box office and Olivia and Matt Bomer didn’t even feel like traveling to promote the damn thing?

Regardless, here are some of the photos from the premiere. Amanda wore this electric blue H&M tuxedo-shorts ensemble. I really, really dislike it. Well… I’ll give her some credit for trying something different, for wearing a bold color, and for having an amazing figure. But I will not give her credit for these shorts. These things do NOT belong on a red carpet. At all. Look at how her ass is hanging out (and don’t even start yelling at me – I’m looking at ass cheek shadow, and that shouldn’t happen on a red carpet).

Also: Amanda’s eyes look really druggy to me.

For some reason, little Saoirse Ronan was at the UK premiere too. She’s not in the film or anything, so I guess she just wanted to see the movie. I love her little outfit. Perfect for a teenager on a red carpet for a film that isn’t hers.

Last night was the LA premiere for In Time, and I’ve just figured out the biggest problem with marketing this film as I stared at the photos – the film doesn’t include a star who people are simply excited to see. Justin Timberlake is the “star”… but people don’t care enough about him to, say, “go to a Justin Timberlake film.” The other man-meat in the film involved Vincent Kartheiser, whom I adore but most people don’t know, and Matt Bomer, who is probably the most interesting person in the cast (he’s so interesting that I’m devoting a separate post to him later).

As far as ladies who will get asses in theater seats, we have Amanda Seyfried, one of the better young actresses in Hollywood, but still not really a “name”, and Olivia Wilde, who has become the Typhoid Mary of box office bombs this year. So let’s just do a straight-up fashion post about Olivia and Amanda, and how they can’t even wear anything attention-getting at the premiere. Amanda wore this cream and purple Prabal Gurung cocktail dress which is… pretty. Not amazing, not bad. I feel like it’s the wrong color for her? She might have been better off wearing all-purple, but this is okay.

Meanwhile, Olivia wore this Yigal Azrouël Spring 2012 gown. I think the back is sexy, but from the front… you miss the details, and it looks like she’s just wearing a black sack. Plus, I dislike her hair and her makeup makes her look really, really druggy. So, I guess Amanda wins.

I’m also including pics of Vincent Kartheiser and Justin. Vincent is so cute, and JT is so not. Justin always looks like such a dork to me. Do women ever actually get hot for him?

Amanda Seyfried covers the November issue of Glamour UK with a very 1970s-styled dress and hairdo. She usually does retro looks quite well — it must be those old-school peepers. Aside from her beauty, Seyfried is an odd case. Presumably, she has a fanbase (in some nebulous shape or form) because she easily pulls in box-office gold whenever she stars in those insipid romcoms (that she only does for the money), yet gossip-wise, she is a total bore except for the occasional paparazzi shots of her cute dog. She’s currently promoting In Time, which probably won’t fare well financially because Seyfried in a thriller doesn’t sound all that thrilling, and nobody wants to watch Justin Timberlake as a male lead.

At any rate, I stand by my previous assertions that Amanda is terribly socially awkward; and Amanda discusses her panic attacks within this interview. She also maintains that dating famous guys has contributed to her anxiety level, but that might also be because she’s only dated famous guys who are douches, which are certain to erode any girl’s sense of self worth. Sad, but true:

On Coping With Panic Attacks: [Therapy] has been such a great tool, and my therapist told me that I passed with flying colors, but we’ll see how things go. I still do get terribly nervous, and that’s partly due to the fact I think too much and overanalyze things. I’ll start worrying about my parents or my dog, and I’ll picture him opening the window of my apartment and falling out, even though I can’t get that thing open myself.

On Dating Famous Guys: Dominic [Cooper] and I were together for such a long time, so the coverage was always positive. But when you’ve just started seeing someone and that person is really famous, it’s more of a story. When I was with Ryan [Phillipe], people followed me so much more, and that’s probably one of the reasons that I’m not looking to date someone who’s famous now.

Although I think it’s easier to be in a relationship than be single, I just don’t know if I have the energy at the moment. You don’t have to check in with anybody except your mother, and there’s all this freedom. You realise how many pressures come from being with someone.

On Justin Timberlake: Oh, only a lesbian or a straight man could resist the Trousersnake. Justin really is unique, but he has a difficult life. I mean, he can’t walk down the street anymore and that’s such a shame because freedom is everything.

On Her Favorite Body Part: [N]o matter how much I’ve eaten and how little I’ve exercised, my legs will always be tiny and I don’t have any cellulite – yet. So trust me: you’ll never see me in trousers on the red carpet.

[From Glamour UK]

Panic attacks (with their requisite chest pain, sweating, and tunnel vision) are absolutely horrible to experience, and it’s good to hear that Amanda’s found help through therapy. As a strange little aside though, I suffer from OCD (much like Howie Mandel and quite unlike Megan Fox), which is also an anxiety disorder. However, I have been fortunate enough to only suffer from one panic attack in my entire life, and it occurred in my former shrink’s office. So I guess that tells you how little therapy did for me; but if it helps, especially in the case of an actress who substantially benefits from the privacy guaranteed by doctor-patient confidentiality? More power.

I am slightly puzzed about Amanda’s assertion that her relationship with Dominic Cooper only received positive press. She must have missed those stories about him banging randoms and shagging Lindsay Lohan. Still, I can completely understand her desire to date non-famous men, so hopefully she’ll find a nice non-douche to settle down with. Amanda was obviously (at least according to her) single at the time of this interview, but she is currently dating a real estate executive named Andrew Joblon, with whom she was photographed at the U.S. Open:

And here are those tiny little legs of which Amanda spoke during the interview. Yes, she was kind of bragging, but at least it wasn’t a Goop-styled humblebrag, right?

Amanda Seyfried and Justin Timberlake cover the upcoming issue of W Magazine to promote In Time, a futuristic thriller that hits theaters on October 28. Before we get into this interview, it’s necessary to recall the recent Interview Magazine piece where Amanda suggestively told JT that she’d “just stepped out of the shower” when he called so that he would know that she was naked. Yes, she was flirting with him like mad, and I think the girl has some serious self-esteem issues as well. Mostly, I base the latter opinion on a very uncomfortable Craig Ferguson interview where Amanda repeatedly calls herself “boring” and generally looks in danger of shrinking into the chair cushions at any given moment. Interestingly, she also mentioned being in the shower once while talking to Ferguson too, so maybe that’s her default “suggestive” line; but the fact remains that Amanda, while completely gorgeous, really is a pretty boring individual and is only truly fascinating in terms of her dog.

Amanda is a very pretty but odd bird, and Kaiser wanted me to mention that she’s got horrible taste in men, so it would make sense if she’s into JT. After all, she dated Ryan Phillippe and still nurses (as recently as this past June) an on-off relationship with Dominic Cooper, who not only repeatedly cheated on her but also hooked up with Lindsay Lohan while he and Amanda were together. Definitely, JT fits right in Amanda’s “type,” which consists of self-absorbed, cheating douches; yet I think that she could do so much better even though, in this interview, she admits to being fixated with the idea of dating her co-stars. She also brings up Megan Fox too, which makes me think that they got along pretty well while working together and might both suffer from the socially awkward dilemma in their interviews:

On Sex Scenes: Sex scenes are great. A lot of my costars have been sexy guys my age, and so, why not? I’m not going to pretend it’s not fun. Justin was great-he had come from doing Friends With Benefits, where he basically had sex every day at work-and so it was easy for both of us. We just kind of got it on, and then were like, “That was good!”

On Being A Closet N’Sync Fan: I went to four different proms in high school. I was addicted to the whole ballroom thing. But it was embarrassing to be an ‘N Sync fan in high school. I was into them in middle school. I definitely danced in my friend’s basement for hours and hours to ‘N Sync’s first album.

On Kissing Megan Fox: Jennifer’s Body is my favorite movie that I’ve done. It was overlooked in theaters, but it does have a DVD following. I can’t believe nobody wanted to see Megan Fox and me hitting it. They had an extreme close-up of our tongues, and I’m telling you, the thing about the scene is that it’s actually really sexy. For a young girl to say that about her own sex scene-it must be because it’s special. I think Megan and I kissed really well together. We have similar kissing styles and it worked. We got it done for the masses, and the masses still didn’t show up.

On Doing Romcoms: I love acting like I’m in love. It’s a very positive thing. Making a movie is, in general, romantic. It’s very special, very intimate. So you can see why a lot of actors get together. When you’re young, it’s hard not to get together with your costar. But I’ve been doing this long enough to know that it’s usually not the greatest idea.

Isn’t it weird how Amanda’s changed her tune on romcoms? Before now, she only claimed to do them for the money, but now she apparently loves acting like she’s in love. Well, she’s good at doing just that, which is about the extent of my feelings on that subject.

As for JT’s half of the interview, there aren’t many interesting quotes from which to pull, but he does describe his performance in the much maligned Southland Tales as “performance art.” Of course, I have unavoidably started assuming that every time one mentions “performance art,” it’s either a subtle or not-so-subtle dig at James Franco, but that’s probably not the case here because JT goes on to admit that he really didn’t understand the film at all. In all fairness, I don’t think anyone understood Southland Tales, and I only appreciated that movie because Dwayne Johnson was present in all of his overacting, buffed-up glory. Back to this W interview though, which features a few decent self-deprecating tidbits from JT:

On How The Acting Thing Started: In films, I didn’t crave the type of attention I had sort of stumbled into in my music career. And I do not audition well. I’m really not good at it. Early on, I did movies like Alpha Dog and Black Snake Moan because the directors didn’t ask me to audition.

On Planning His Every Career Move: It’s different now, but in the past I’ve had some accidents, for sure. I think I have to laugh about the fact that I grew up in public. All these weird stages in my teenage years are documented. Why did no one tell me how terrible some of those outfits were?

On Avoiding Typecasting: After The Social Network, I got two or three sociopaths pitched to me. I didn’t want to play that again. It’s the same for musicians-once you do a song that’s a big deal, you get pitched a similar song. But just like I didn’t want my second album to sound like my first album, I want all the characters I play to be distinct and different.

[From W Magazine]

The interview arrives with slightly overwrought photoshoot featuring JT and Amanda all dolled up as the “picture-perfect political couple.” Obviously, they’re not doing it yet, but Amanda is dropping hints like crazy that she would totally go there if JT was game. Oddly, Life & Style just published a report that JT and the long-suffering Jessica Biel are planning to marry, which was supposedly a condition to their limp-wristed reunion a few months ago even though he’s probably fooling around on Biel again. In Hollywood, it’s a sure sign that a guy won’t marry a girl when he takes his mom to the Oscars instead, right? So Amanda definitely still has a shot at the JT douche ride and definitely meets the height standards for admission.

Amanda Seyfried had a very pap-friendly moment with a gorgeous preppy guy who was so similar-looking to her that I had to make sure she didn’t have any brothers close in age. She doesn’t, she just picked a new man to roll out who looks just as pretty as she does. He reminds me a little of Prince William too.

Amanda looked deep in conversation with the guy over lunch, and they later went for a romantic walk on the beach. She told the paparazzi that her date’s name was “Nathan,” but we don’t know anything else about him. It’s safe to assume he’s not a construction worker I guess.

Nathan looks comfortable with the paparazzi but also like he’s really happy to be with Amanda and is into her. He doesn’t seem to mind that they’re getting photographed, but it’s not like he’s mugging for the cameras either. I hope he’s a nice guy. She likes the squirrelly types.

Update: A lot of you are commenting that this could be a gay friend. I bet you’re right, and I should have noticed!

Last we heard about Amanda Seyfried, she and douche supreme Ryan Phillippe had broken up again, and Kaiser was thinking that Amanda might possibly end up on Justin Timberlake’s radar since they recently filmed together. Clearly, Amanda had a bit of a thing for JT since she was shamelessly flirting with him while naked during an interview, but whatever. The girl definitely has a type, but JT (presumably) isn’t interested in hitting that because Amanda’s reverted back to a previous douche.

According to WENN, Amanda and her ex-boyfriend Dominic Cooper went shopping together at Burberry in Los Angeles, and these photos reportedly show Dominic waiting to be picked up after Amanda paid up with the parking garage attendant. Although I’m not sure why she’d ever return to a dude who acquired quite a reputation for cheating (including but not limited to fugitive Lindsay Lohan in Cannes) while they were together. Of course, Amanda and Dominic took a break after the Lohan incident, but now all is forgiven. This girl needs a new barometer, and fast.

Poor Amanda. She’s evidently a slave to her own admission, “I need to be needed,” but it’s still quite clear that — other than her appallingly awful taste in men — her own puppy is still the most fascinating thing about her.

I kind of forgot that Ryan Phillippe and Amanda Seyfried were a thing. They were dating on and off since last Halloween, but now, according to Us Weekly, they’ve broken up again. Seems like a pretty obvious decision considering that during the course of their relationship, Ryan’s dealt with baby-daddy drama from a brief hookup that may or may not have happened simultaneously to the start of his relationship with Amanda. Of course, Ryan has still been playing the field while still technically going out with Amanda this whole time – the stories are still out there about Ryan and Rihanna, after all. In case you might feel some sympathy for Amanda… don’t. She has a type. She loves the douches. She’ll find another one soon enough.

It was fun while it lasted!

After seven months together, Amanda Seyfried and Ryan Phillippe have pulled the plug on their relationship, a source tells Us Weekly.

“It was mutual,” the source says. “They were never fully committed.”

After meeting at Kate Hudson’s Halloween party last October, the pair first called it quits in February.

“They were always on and off,” adds the source. “They were always seeing other people.” Still, when reports surfaced in March that Phillippe, 36, was father of his ex-girlfriend Alexis Knapp’s baby, due this month, Seyfried, 25, stuck by him.

But it’s anything but acrimonious post-split, says the pal. “There’s no bad blood. They’re cool.”

Phillippe’s past loves include ex-wife (and mother to his kids Ava and Deacon) Reese Witherspoon and actress Abbie Cornish. Red Riding Hood star Seyfried split with British beau Dominic Cooper about a year ago, following a three-year relationship.

[From Us Weekly]

As I said, I believe Ryan was seeing other people, but I doubt Amanda was. And I wonder why she hung around for so long? I think when Ryan’s paternity drama exploded a few months ago, Ryan started being nice to Amanda in the hopes that she would stick around and make him look less like a womanizing douche who sticks it wherever he can without protection.

So… what is Amanda’s next move? My guess: Justin Timberlake. He’s just her type.

Ryan Phillippe is currently in Europe promoting The Lincoln Lawyer, and it looks like he brought along his on-again new girlfriend, the lovely Amanda Seyfried. There are new photos of Amanda and Ryan out in Paris yesterday and now Ryan is in Berlin along with Matthew McConaughey. Both of these men are attractive to me although they’ll never be at Matt Damon or Leonardo DiCaprio levels. McCoaughey needs to gain ten pounds and Phillippe needs to shave that beard. He’s probably trying to fight that sweet baby face that will stay with him the rest of his days.

I think Seyfried is gorgeous, I found her kind of captivating in that glurge fest Dear John, (she looks like a cartoon character with that hair and those giant eyes) but we know she has piss poor taste in men. From most reports Ryan has been stringing her along, but maybe he’s ready to play it serious now that his ex wife has so spectacularly moved on. (Or not, depending on your perspective.)

You get the sense with Ryan that he’s never quite satisfied, that the one he has on the hook will never be as interesting as the random girl in the bar, that he tries to suppress it and then feels guilt when he finally strays, when that itch gets too persistent not to scratch. (I went on too long with that, I know.) Or maybe he really does love and respect Amanda and he’s ready to show it. I doubt it, he also brought Abbie Cornish to events with him and he was stepping out on her all over the place.

Compare how Amanda looks while she’s out with Ryan to how she looks while she’s alone. It’s probably not fair to judge though as the paparazzi probably aren’t hounding her as much in the shots where she looks happy.
