Jeremy Renner: Didn't Have Time To Flirt With Simpson




(Undated) -- Oscar nominated actor Jeremy Renner of "The Hurt Locker" says he didn't have time to flirt with singer Jessica Simpson when they met before the Oscars. UsMagazine.com quotes the actor who says a previous story about him hitting on Simpson is false. Renner says he only met the singer for about "three minutes." The two met at a pre-Oscar bash held by Madonna's manager Guy Oseary, who happens to live next door to Simpson. But the conversation was really about Renner's mother's hair. He says, quote, "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!" Renner took his mother as his date to the Oscars Sunday, where "The Hurt Locker" won six awards including Best Picture. The actor says he's "single and looking" but that he's "not a ladies man."
