CelebNews@Usmagazine.com! - Kevin: Dating Nicky Hilton Was "Normal"

In the new issue of Time Out New York, Kevin Connolly, 32, dishes on what it was like to date heiress Nicky Hilton and the rumors about his alleged fling with Haylie Duff.

There was some “extended online bonus” discussion about matters of cardio and a hot girl at his high school reunion that we decided to spare you from, but if you’re longing to read about Kev’s bi’s and tri’s, see the whole article here.

Otherwise, see excerpts below:

Time Out: You directed some episodes of Unhappily Ever After. How did directing a puppet compare with directing Lukas Haas?

Kevin: "[Laughs] Lukas Haas is great. He’s a great friend. The puppet, that was weird because it was Bobcat Goldthwait and he had stolen my girlfriend [Nikki Cox]."

Wow. How did it feel to lose a girl to Bobcat Goldthwait?

Kevin: [Sarcastic] "It felt great. Would it have been better if she’d left me for Brad Pitt? That’s what my mom said to me when all that happened. It’s an interesting point, right?"

Time Out: It’s like if someone cheats on you, would you rather it be with someone of the same sex or someone of a different sex?

Kevin: "Would you consider Bobcat someone of a different sex? Probably."

Time Out: He’s someone of a different species. What was it like going out with Nicky Hilton?

Kevin: "It was a pretty normal relationship. I mean, look, there’s a public end of it that can be annoying because people are in your business and that can be a pain in the ass, but that’s just kind of the territory."

Time Out: Are you single now?

Kevin: "Yes, I am—contrary to what people may think, I really am single."

Time Out: Is Haylie Duff going to be on your arm [at the premiere of your film, Gardener of Eden]?

Kevin: "No!...Haylie and I are really good friends. But I’m declaring myself single."

Time Out: See, I’m doing the same thing, trying to stay single for a while. I’m afraid of blinking and waking up in a relationship I don’t want to be in.

Kevin: "And it happens so quick. You turn around and all of a sudden you’re with somebody. I’m trying to just focus on the work end of it, and when that happens, it happens. The other things is, let’s face it, feelings don’t ask permission, you know, so when it happens, it happens."

Time Out: How are you like Eric and how are you not like him?

Kevin: "Eric kind of takes things in stride that I don’t know if I would take in stride. He’s a little wimpy with girls, which bothers me."

Time Out: Do you have more balls?

Kevin: "Maybe, maybe."

Time Out: You have more guts?

Kevin: "More guts. Yes, that’s a better word."
