Andy Cohen -

Andy Cohen is a busy single father of two young kids, but he's no stranger to browsing on his down-time. “I’m on a lot of dating sites,” the TV host told Page Six on May 16 at the 2022 NBCUniversal upfront. But it's not in some great pursuit of love. "I really use them more as video games,” he shared. “I use them more as I’m home killing time. Like, ‘This is fun to look at.’ It’s more fun than playing Scrabble online, let me say that." That's one way to put it!

Alicia Silverstone -

Alicia Silverstone appeared on 'The Drew Barrymore Show' to talk about her less than fruitful experiences with online dating, including when she was banned from the same app twice: first when she made a fake account, and then again right before she was going out on a date. "A few years ago I tried to get on one of the dating apps and I put a fake profile, because I wasn't comfortable yet being me and then I got kicked off, I got banned. And then I tried again, I got the courage up because I heard that you were on, and I heard that Sharon Stone was on, so I was like, 'Well, if they can be on, I can be on,'" she told Barrymore, as per Too Fab. "So I went on as myself and it took a lot of courage to do it. And then I did it and I had a date with someone planned and the day I went in to find out about the date where we were meeting or whatever, I had been banned. Poor guy. I got kicked off as myself too." What luck!
