One of the things I’ve always loved and hated about Chris Pine is that he really doesn’t date at his “level.” He’s not a Leonardo DiCaprio-type in that Pine isn’t looking for some hot, up-and-coming model to be a perfect accessory. Pine is also not the type to date some total non-famous civilian, like Matt Damon did. Pine tends to go for C-listers, reality stars, lingerie models, that kind of woman (he notably dated Audrina Patridge, for example). Considering Pine is A-list, that is a little bit unusual. Like, he gets invited to the Oscars but he dates like he’s Brody Jenner.

So Chris has a new girlfriend. These are the first photos I’ve seen of them together – they were out in Hollywood on May 17th. Who is she? Her name is Vail Bloom and if you watch the Bravo reality shows, you might recognize her. She’s a hostess at SUR, one of Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurants, and Vail appears on Vanderpump Rules. Vail also appeared on The Young and the Restless. So… there you go. Chris Pine has a new girlfriend and she’s a player on a Real Housewife spinoff show.

Meanwhile, the National Enquirer had this utterly stupid story about Pine and a cat.

Studly “Star Trek”-ker CHRIS PINE, riding his bicycle around LA’s Silver Lake district, braked suddenly for a tiny kitten, scooped it up for an affectionate nuzzle – then blinked when a little girl nearby suddenly cried, “Daddy … that man is STEALING MY KITTY!”

Said My Cat Tattler: “Chris looked all embarrassed, but the tyke’s dad ran up and said, ‘That’s not her kitten. It’s just been roaming the neighborhood and she plays with it.’

“So Chris smiled and said, ‘Well, why not adopt the poor thing?’ And the little girl cries, ‘Oh, Daddy – CAN I?’

“So Dad shoots Chris a ‘thanks-a-lot’ look and tells Daughter, ‘We are NOT getting a cat!’

“So Chris says, ‘Sorry, no problem,’ tucks Kitty in his sweater and pedals it home!”

I would love it if this story was true. I would love it if Chris Pine picks up random kitties, brings them home and loves them. I would love it if Chris Pine was a crazy cat lady. Please let this be true!

PS… I love a man in flip-flops.
