Spears, Farrell officially an item?
By Cesar G. Soriano, USA TODAY
Holy hormones! Pop princess Britney Spears and Gaelic gigolo Colin Farrell are Hollywood’s hottest new item.
And just when we were getting used to the idea of Britney and Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst and Farrell and seductive older woman Demi Moore. But that was so yesterday.
Farrell, 26, and Spears, 21, made a grand red carpet entrance at Tuesday’s Hollywood premiere of The Recruit, which stars Farrell and Al Pacino and opens Friday. They held hands for flashing cameras and TV crews.
After the screening, Spears, wearing what could best be described as a camisole, hooked up again with Farrell at Chateau Marmont, where they snuggled and kissed into the wee hours.
It wasn’t their first date. On Saturday, the lip-locked lovers were seen at L.A.’s Troubadour nightclub, the New York Post reports. They met last week when Spears visited the set of Farrell’s movie S.W.A.T.
But why, Britney, why? Colin has made it no secret he’s a Tinseltown tomcat.
In the March issue of Playboy, Farrell says: “I’ve always been a firm believer that casual sex is a (expletive) good thing. Sometimes … all I’m looking for is the simple act of sexual intimacy. It’s like ordering a (expletive) pizza.”
The foul-mouthed Irish actor also brags about his love for porn, beer, Ecstacy and prostitutes: “I have never been with a prostitute that I haven’t been completely polite to and just treated like a (expletive) human being.”
Farrell, who was married for four months in 2001 to British actress Amelia Warner and still has her nickname, “Millie,” tattooed on his ring finger, says he has no interest in a serious relationship.
“Girl trouble, for me, is when you fall in love,” he told Playboy.
Farrell has been linked to a laundry list of women, including model Josie Maran, Playboy Playmate Nicole Narain and actress Maeve Quinlan (Tom Sizemore’s ex-wife).
“If I really slept with every woman they’ve said I’ve slept with, I’d be a happy man,” Farrell recently told USA TODAY.
So, are Farrell and Spears officially dating?
“They’re friends,” says Spears’ publicist Lisa Kasteler.
What about Durst? Or rumors that Britney was back with Justin Timberlake?
“That I can’t tell you,” Kasteler said. “She’s young, she’s single, she’s beautiful. What guy in his right mind wouldn’t want to date her?”
At Tuesday’s premiere, Farrell echoed the party line. “She’s just a mate,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “Seriously, we just met a week ago, (we’re) having a laugh.”
