Jeremy Renner denies getting Jessica Simpson’s digits

82nd Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals

In the lead-up to the Oscars, there was significant buzz about who Jeremy Renner might be bangin’/dating. My money was on Charlie “Rose Boobs” Theron, who Renner has been friends with for several years. That is, until People Magazine reported that Renner and Jessica Simpson had been seen “flirting up a storm” at a pre-Oscar party, and that they had exchanged digits. Then, to make matters even more complicated, The Daily Mail reported over the weekend that Renner and Rose Boobs were definitely an item! So much confusion over Jeremy – it’s like people don’t understand that he’s my pocket (imaginary) boyfriend. Anyway, it seems that Jeremy denied the Jessica Simpson rumors when he spoke to Us Weekly:

The Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner is squashing a report that he recently made the moves on singer Jessica Simpson.

People.com reported that at a recent cocktail party for his movie at the L.A. home of Madonna’s manager Guy Oseary, Renner, 39, “spent the night hitting on Jessica like crazy. They were really flirting up a storm.”

But Renner – who brought his mom to the Oscars Sunday – told UsMagazine.com Sunday at the Governor’s Ball that he only met Simpson, 29, for “three minutes.”

“Her hair stylist [Ken Paves] did my mom’s hair so we were talking about that — and then all of a sudden we’re dating!” he told Us.

Asked if he’s seeing anyone, he told Us, “I’m single — and looking!”

But that doesn’t mean he’s a Hollywood player.

“I’m not a ladies man!” Renner told Us. “I’m a working man! That’s all.”

Oh, he’s “single and looking” is he? Look no further, pocket boyfriend! I’m not very tall (I‘m like 5‘6“), so I won’t tower over you like Rose Boobs. Of course, that’s not the only difference between me and Rose Boobs. But we can figure that stuff out later!

But seriously, poor Jessica. I was really hoping the rumor was true, just because I think Jeremy and Jess would be really, really cute together. It just seemed to make some kind of crazy sense. Turns out it was just some Ken Paves conspiracy. But how cute is it that Paves did Jeremy’s mom’s hair? Aw…

  3. RobN says:

    IMDb claims he is 5’10” tall. He seems so small; he can’t be that tall can he?

  4. Kaiser says:

    RobN – I’m thinking he’s like five foot six, something like that. He really is a small guy.

  5. meme says:

  6. meme says:

  8. Just a Poster says:

    Ahh come here Meme… it’s okay, we believe you hon.

    I loved him in the “Unusuals” too bad ABC cancelled that show.

  9. Lucy says:

    Tom Cruise is 5’8″ or slightly less.
    Btw, whomever could believe Renner daring date motorboat Simpson needs a standard check. Girl is HUGE. Never gonna fit no one of Hollywood taste.
    Sorry.

  10. meme says:

    He’s 5’10”. I just measured him in my mind.

  11. meme says:

    @just a cookie, thanks for the cookie. i gave it to Jer.

  12. lucy2 says:

    @just a poster, thank you! I kept trying to think where else I had seen him, it was The Unusuals!

    He seems like a good guy, I liked how the three actors all stood together in the back.

    “He is 5′10 like Tom Cruise is 5′10.” LOL!!! Too funny. Though he seems quite comfortable with himself, as I have yet to see him wearing giant, obvious lifts like Mr. Cruise tends to do. I still giggle when I think about those weird sneakers or whatever he wore not so long ago.

  13. lolo says:

    He’s not a ladies man. He means: I’m gay. Too bad for all of us ladies he’s cute!

  14. meme says:

    lolo, Jeremy is NOT gay. NOT NOT NOT. And I should know. He’s my imaginary BF y’know.

  15. Ella says:

    I met him and I’m 5’7, he was at least 2 inches taller than me…

  16. Kevin says:

    I’m not saying the boy is short, but he sure gets pissy if you mess with his Lucky Charms!

  17. meme says:

    *loses shit completely LEAVE MY IMAGINARY BOYFRIEND ALONE YOU FUCKTARDS. HE AIN’T SHORT AND HE AIN’T GAY.

  18. Kevin says:

    His eyes are exceptionally far apart also,,,kinda fishy lookin.

  19. meme says:

    *smacks Kevin upside head HARD. VERY VERY HARD.

  20. MMS says:

    meme you are hilarious.
    Pity he’s nobody’s BF, or pocket BF, he’s single, but looking, so ladies wear something bright, ‘cos he’s looking! I don’t know how tall he is but he doesn’t seem that tall, never mind Charlize and Kathryn, he was standing next to Mel Gibson, who’s had to take a lot of grief over the years about his height, and Mel was few inches taller than Jeremy… Don’t hit me meme! But I’m pretty sure he’s not gay, though.

  21. Just a Poster says:

    Good lord you guys, I Meme calmed down with a cookie!

    LOL
