Four major matchmaking websites just issued a statement pledging to protect its users from predators and spammers. This should come as a relief to the increasing number of singles staying in and browsing the web to find a decent date.
The rising number of people looking for love doesn't just include creeps who have their hands down their pants all day or old cougars camouflaging themselves as college students. Even celebrities have used online dating platforms. That's right, sometimes the famous people everyone adores use the Internet to hook-up. Continue reading for a look at the big names you might run into next time you log onto your favorite dating site.
Orlando Bloom
Orlando Bloom
Dating Site: Facebook
Before Orlando Bloom landed Miranda Kerr, he tried to find a different type of girl. He used his friend’s photo and a fake name on the social networking site, Facebook, in order to seduce women without revealing his real identity as a super famous hearthrob. We understand why: If he used his real info, he’d probably get reported as a fraud.
Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston
Dating Site: Kelleher International
After a girl splits from Brad Pitt, where should she turn? Caught in that dilemma, Aniston reportedly paid a six figure sum to an online dating agency to find the perfect guy in 2010. However, when those rumors surfaced, Jen went on record saying she would never trust the online dating world.
Charlie Sheen
Charlie Sheen
Dating Site: Millionarematch.com
While Sheen and Denise Richards were moving forward with divorce proceedings, Sheen reportedly started to chat up girls on the Internet. We suspect his profile included this classic Sheenism to get the ladies: “I expose people to magic. I expose them to something they'll never other wise gonna see in their boring, normal lives.”
Matthew Perry
Matthew Perry
Dating Site: Richsoulmate.com
Matthew Perry has been rumored to use Richsoulmate.com, where wealthy, successful singles meet. It was reported that his online profile described him as “cute and adorable, though pained and lonely,” which in online dating speak roughly translates to “kind of chubby and desperate with a great sense of humor.”
Deborah Ann Woll
Deborah Ann Woll
Dating Site: Match.com
Deborah Ann Woll is what keeps Match.com in business. While her True Blood character, Jessica, may have vampiric charms to woo a man, she had a little difficulty in real life. She met her current boyfriend on the dating site in 2007, prior to breaking out on the show, and we are still clicking through profiles to find someone as gorgeous and potentially famous.
Rivers Cuomo
Rivers Cuomo
Dating Site: Unknown
It’s hard to find a decent girl in the real life dating world for a rock star, especially after two years of celibacy. Weezer’s frontman, Rivers Cuomo, signed up for an unspecified dating site but was notified by the service with, according to Cuomo, the following message: “We’re sorry, but there is no one anywhere in the world that is appropriate for you." Luckily for him, the Internet was wrong as he married a girl he knew in college in 2006.
Joan Rivers
Joan Rivers
Dating Site: Match.com
Joan Rivers said that the only parties she attended were funerals, which isn’t the best place to pick up men, so she signed up with her real name for Match.com. She was looking for younger, sexy men who enjoy pop culture and clearly don’t mind plastic surgery.
Halle Berry
Halle Berry
Dating Site: Unknown
Halle Berry has said that she chimes in every once and awhile to online dating and chat sites, which we’re sure gives creepers a nice grin when they picture talking to Halle Berry instead of another dude posing as a woman.
Chace Crawford
Chace Crawford
Dating Site: JDate
To prove that you can’t trust everything people say online, the Gossip Girl actor browsed JDate even though he isn’t Jewish. He explained that it’s hard to find a lady who isn’t distracted by his fame and that’s why he resorted to online dating and he’s got accounts set up around the internet. A source claims that he didn't actually utilize the online dating sites; he just browsed. But we suspect ladies will still be converting to Judaism just for the chance.
Carrie Ann Inaba
Carrie Ann Inaba
Dating Site: eHarmony
Inaba’s fiance, Sloan, really lucked out when he stumbled on Carrie Ann Inaba’s online profile. She didn’t post a picture, or the fact she’s the judge of Dancing With the Stars; she posted facts like “I need someone sexy” and “I love cats!” Normally, men would assume there was no profile picture due to six cats being in the shot.
