Extra! has a video interview (link leads to video) with the male stars of the upcoming film He’s Just Not That Into You, and like their femal co-stars you can tell they have a great camaraderie and have fun together. Ben Affleck, Justin Long, Kevin Connolly and Bradley Cooper joked around and laughed at some of the questions, with married man Affleck and known ladies man Connolly giving the most revealing answers when it comes to how they use modern technology to keep in touch with the opposite sex:

Affleck admitted he keeps in touch with wife Jennifer Garner via text message — and that’s how Jen keeps the father of two in check! “I correspond with my wife that way,” Ben said, laughing. “She’s like, ‘Get over here. Pick this s*** up! It’s time for you to go get our daughter!’”

Ben didn’t initially raise his hand when asked if he was romantic, but later admits he’s a sucker for romance. “I’m definitely romantic. I didn’t raise my hand because I didn’t want to be the guy who started talking about how romantic he was on TV. I wanted to dodge that bullet and I did dodge it.”

Co-star Kevin Connolly chimed in when the conversation turned to breaking up — using modern technology! When the men were asked if it’s okay to end things via text message, the “Entourage” star joked, “Oh yeah. That’s the best way.”

As for playing hard to get, Justin Long exclaimed, “Yeah, Connolly does. You play the game.” Kevin responded, “I don’t play hard to get. I’m very easy to get.”

It’s hard to tell from the video if Connolly is saying that text messaging is the best way to break up or keep in touch. Hopefully he’s at least sort-of joking if he says it’s the best way to break up. Have you ever called it off with someone in a text message or e-mail or been the recipient of one? It seems cruel to say the last, but it’s certainly easier for the dumper if not the dumpee.

This movie looks like a lot of fun even though it’s likely to be predictable. I enjoy films that are made up of a lot of different stories pieced together, even if they can feel rushed – like Love Actually – they’re often worth seeing.

Here’s Kevin Connolly grabbing a bite to eat in West Hollywood on the 13th. Images thanks to Splash.

Drew Barrymore, 33, is said to be interested Kevin Connolly, 34, who is featured in her film He’s Just Not That Into You. Connolly is playing hard to get with Drew, though, and while it sounds like there may be some spark of romance between them there’s little chance it will turn into something long term, according to the National Enquirer. It sounds like this story is based on someone seeing them together at a bar, where Drew was putting the moves on Kevin and getting only a cold response:

Hollywood cutie Drew Barrymore fell for “Entourage” hottie Kevin Connolly on the set of their upcoming film, “He’s Just Not That Into You.” But while Drew is looking for a serious romance, insiders tell The Enquirer that the happy bachelor just wants to have fun…

Drew, 33, and Kevin, 34, were spotted having drinks together at the Laurel Tavern in Studio City, Calif, on Dec. 21. While Drew poured on the charm with touchy-feeling gestures, Kevin played it cool and barely showed her any affection at all.

“Drew was practically throwing herself at Kevin,” an eyewitness revealed. “They were at the tavern for almost two hours, and Drew was definitely the one initiating all the physical contact.”

While the two have been friends for a while, Drew is now falling for Kevin, and thinks there’s a real chance they’ll be together long-term.

You can see Drew falling for someone and hoping he returns her affections. She’s a woman who seems like she’s in love with the idea of being in love and throws herself fully into a new relationship. Once the spark wears off, though, she has trouble sticking around and weathering the inevitable issues that come up. She was way too revealing with the press in her last relationship with Justin Long and the next time she gets in a serious relationship she’ll hopefully keep it closer to her chest. Maybe Connelly isn’t that “into” her, or maybe Drew is just super flirty and hoping for a good time.

I don’t know what to believe about Aniston’s love life at this point. Two weeks ago she was supposedly pregnant and said to be living with Sex and The City hottie Jason Lewis, who had flown his mother into New York to meet her. We were on the pregnancy bandwagon and even thought there was a bump visible in those far-away photos of her in Mexico, where she had a post-holiday vacation with her BFF Courteney Cox and her family and a “mystery guy” who was rumored to be Lewis.

Star Magazine, not the most reliable source I know, is reporting that Aniston met up with Kevin Connolly in Los Cabos and that he was seen rubbing suntan lotion on her back. These two were said to be set up by Tobey Maguire, and although they got along ok they weren’t a love match. What happened to Jason Lewis then?

An insider reveals that Jen, 38, and Kevin, 33, were set up by mutual friends Tobey Maguire and his wife, Jennifer Meyer, while on their New Year’s vacation. However, although Jen seemed to enjoy Kevin’s company, things never went beyond a little flirting. “Tobey and his wife knew it was a long shot,” said the insider, “but think they could have made a love connection…”

The pair were part of a group that included Courteney Cox and David Arquette and their daughter, Coco. “Courteney and David know and love Kevin,” says Jen’s pal. “They think he could be perfect for Jen.”

So was Kevin Connolly the unknown guy seen in Mexico with Aniston and/or did he just meet up with her unexpectedly? Was Jason Lewis there too? Star conveniently forgets that she was even linked with Lewis, despite the fact that they reported that Aniston and Lewis were living together just three weeks ago.

Kevin Connolly was last linked with Dancing With The Stars winner Julianne Hough and even gave her a ring last November.

This article sounds suspicious to me and maybe Connolly just happened to be at the same resort as these two. Other reports have her dating David Spade so it sounds like the tabloids are desperate to pair her with anyone.

Here is Aniston on the set of “Travellers” in Vancouver, Canada yesterday thanks to Splash News.

Nicky Hilton’s boyfriend, “Entourage” star Kevin Connolly, smacked Brandon Davis after he insulted him at one of Paris’ parties. When Davis freaked out after getting slapped, Connolly punched him twice in the face to get him to shut up.

The Post goes on to say that Lohan and her gang crashed the party too, but not much must have transpired or they would have given more details.

Davis is crying out for some kind of intervention. He was reportedly staying at Paris’ place after his folks cut him off, and some recent candids of him cozying up to her make it seem like they’re friends with benefits. Connolly must be annoyed that he’s hanging out with his girl too. Usually I don’t condone violence, but Davis had it coming.

Here are Brandon, Paris and Nicky outside of Barneys on 9/2. [via] Tell me that Paris and Brandon look like they’re just friends.
