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.

He needs to put that beard in a baggy, STAT.
Lmao
Lol.
Is he A list though? I’d say solid B Lister.
I was gonna say the same thing, he is B list to me. The younger A list is bCoop, Leo, tom hardy and Chris Pratt.
Pratt is an accidental Alister and it’s not going to last. Let him open his mouth more of how he treats animals and criticises those who adopt his cat that he can’t be bothered to find a decent home for. How it’s more enjoyment than sport for him to shoot animals and not use them for anything. Just to shoot.
He is such a pile with great rebranding.
Hmm, I get your point. Ok cross out Chris Pratt. What about Ryan Gosling or joaquin Phoenix? I consider them A listers who don’t play the game but higher on the pecking order than Pine. Pine just doesn’t seem to have star power imo, like I can’t imagine him being any director’s first choice.
I consistently confuse him with Chris Evans. Or forget his name and come up with Chris Pratt but know that’s wrong. So yeah I know he’s in some blockbusters but since I find him kind of generic I’d agree with B list.
Chris Pine is definitely A-list.
It’s a shame about this new chick. I really liked him with Zoe Kravitz. 🙁
He’s not A-List. The general movie-going public don’t even know him, would often confuse him for Chris Evans. His name is not the sort that can open a movie or even get a film into production. All the while he has big roles in two franchise films and he’s still not A-Lister.
That being said he isn’t without talent, he definitely proved me wrong in Stretch and Into the Woods. He might not be an A-Lister now but he is on the right track.
Sounds like Clooney Pattern 2.0. Also that last pic with the cuufed jeans and flip flops. NO.
Yeah, Lainey commented yesterday that he seems to roll out a new girlfriend every year.
He changes gfs because he gets bored apparently. And calling them “girlfriends” might be a stretch.
Lord I hate men in flip flops. Women too actually. I just really dislike flip flops.
I hate men in flip flops too.
I only wear them to the beach.There are so many cute flat sandals to choose, why wear these?
I loathe man sandals (mandals).
LOL. I ADORE flip flops. Living in Boston, I don’t get to wear them that often. My feet always kill me and I get blisters- even in a lot of sandals. The best flip flop brand is Reef- I only buy them in the style”Ginger” which is fabric so no blisters and foamy cushion sole.
Ditto, Tiffany27. I have been known to dump imaginary celebrity boyfriends for inappropriate flip-flop use.
ugh totally agree he doesn’t date his level. don’t think he’s an A lister but he’s definitely not this level… shame him and zoe kravitz didn’t work out, she made him interesting.
I like the kitten story!
He’s A list? He seems like, lower B. Like, you’re not a phenomenal actor or anything but you’re in a bunch of movies and nice to look at, so here, come to the Oscars, but leave the waitresses at home.
But…is it me, or did he lose his sexy? WTF.
She looks kind of like Renee Zellweger.
She really does. She’s got that squished squirrel looking face.
I shamefully watch Vanderpump Rules at the gym. Vail is pretty gross. Supposedly she is Ivy League educated and acted on some soap. But she also had a terrible cocaine problem (that she freely discusses). Her scenes on Vanderpump Rules involve lots of hard alcohol and part of the story line was about her maybe or maybe not hooking up with that gross, sweaty Jax, whose hand I wouldn’t even shake in fear of catching something. This is worse than Clooney, but then, CP is no George Clooney.
I agree with you……….he’s way closer to Charlie Sheen than Clooney.
*guilty watcher of that show too*
I always found it a bit weird how she openly talked about her drug issues yet seemed to drink a lot, she mentioned blacking out and not remembering stuff.
Yes! The Jax thing. Just gross!! However, she, Sheena, and Katy are the only nice young ladies in that whole mix. I don’t mean nice as in the kind of girl you’d want to meet your mother. I mean nice as in not catty, not back-stabbing, and not trying to f_ck your boyfriend. That’s all I got.
Well in fairness she’s over 30 and has a university degree from Princeton, so I’d put her a touch above many of Leo’s flavours of the month.
That kitten story is true, please never tell me otherwise! 🙂
Closet case, mo.
Yep. He wants women who will “date” him because they want to advance their career. Then it’s break-up before marriage and babies talk in the tabs. I’m sad for him if this is true.
Bi bi bi, baby, baby, bi bi
He seems like he wants the upperhand in a relationship. Perhaps that why he sticks with reality girls/boobie models.
Oh my god, *Vail*??? I’m total #PumpRules junkie. She used to have a serious drug problem apparently and that may have ruined her soap career. Her wiki page says “she left on her own.” And also she may or may not have hooked up with *Jax*. And she’s allegedly 33 but on Bravo HD she looks near 40. I know we’re supposed to be proud of him for not dating starlets and models, but he could be with someone so gorgeous and amazing like Jessica Chastain or something. Even Stassi from VPR would be a better choice.
Stassi is NEVER the better choice… for anyone … ever! Vail seemed the most mature of the cast and that thing with Jax was just a made for TV thing. She seems to have learned from her past mistakes and that’s more than you can say for most other on VPR!
Stassi is a c***.
sorry not sorry.
Eeewww. Stassi? Really?! Ugghhh. All that woman does is dress up and slink around talking smack about other people. She has no talents, no education, no aspirations other than her junk jewely joke. She never misses an opportunity to somehow get naked for the camera and pretty much relies on Daddy and sugar daddies to support her. And I’m willing to bet, her real name is simply Stacy.
Love me some Chris Pine but the cuffed jeans and flip-flops gotta go.
Perhaps he’s not *quite* A List but a solid B+ maybe? Anyhow he seems very likable and down to earth.
I also used to love me some Daddy Robert Pine back in the day. 🙂
Man, he is making “beard” jokes literal. Too easy.
Can’t believe I missed this!
He’s such a crush and hotter in person. Ah If I wasn’t married…
He went to grad school with a friend. He was a crazy animal lover then so it sounds right he’d still be. And he’s so smart! He just likes to get around and not have a foundation for commitment.
By his films he appears A list.
A List…Really?
A show about waitstaff. No thanks.
B lister, Kaiser. He’s like James Marsden. You see him a lot in blockbuster movies and yet you wouldn’t know his name. Ask anyone who Chris Pine is and they would say, ” ah, that dude from American Pie movies”.
