Emmy Rossum: I Get Why Chicks Dig Adam Duritz
Originally posted 10/11/2009 09:15AM
Emmy Rossum "really can't say" whether Adam Duritz is officially her boyfriend, but she will happily dish on why women love him.
"I get why chicks dig him," Rossum tells PEOPLE at the grand launch of the W Hotel in Washington, D.C. "He's extremely kind, incredibly intelligent, thoughtful, creative and respectful."
Rossum, 23, who filed for divorce from her husband last month, has been seen recently on multiple dates with Duritz, 45, who has previously dated Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox Arquette.
"I don't discuss my love life because it's always misinterpreted or put under the microscope," she says. "It's especially annoying when you're dating someone else who's well-known, which is why I normally would never go out with a famous guy."

Emmy Rossum may be suffering the end of a secret marriage, but she and the new man in her life, Adam Duritz, are already making sweet music together, Duritz tells PEOPLE.
Rossum, 23, whose husband Justin Siegel recently filed for divorce, was all in white at the American Ballet Theater Fall gala at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall in New York on Wednesday. She was there with Duritz, lead singer of Counting Crows, with whom she's been seen smooching in Manhattan and Beverly Hills lately.
"I like to dress up," said tuxedo-clad Duritz, following a broadly smiling Rossum, wearing a Marchesa gown, into the gala. "I like bow ties." Asked if she enjoyed herself this evening, Rossum replied, "Very fun, thank you." The two held hands on their way to dinner after the performance.

John Mayer's high-profile relationships with Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Simpson, Minka Kelly and Jennifer Love Hewitt may have grabbed headlines, but there's another serial celeb dater who's been a bit more under the radar – until now.
Adam Duritz, the Counting Crows frontman famous for both his dreadlocks and dating record, is back in the spotlight with new gal pal Emmy Rossum, who split with her husband Justin Siegel in August and is the latest actress to be romantically linked with Duritz.
The singer-songwriter-producer, 45, got cozy with Mary Louise Parker in the '90s – they remain good friends and even attended the Tony Awards together in 2008 – before dating not one but two Friends stars.

Adam Duritz Talks About His 'Downward Spiral'

It hasn't been an easy road for Counting Crows lead singer Adam Duritz. While touring the world and performing onstage for adoring fans, the "Mr. Jones" singer was battling severe depression and an inability to connect with people, he reveals to PEOPLE.
"I've been dealing with mental illness," Duritz, 43, says. "But I didn't want to say anything for a long time. I went crazy. It was scary."
After years of not knowing exactly what was wrong with him, he recently found a doctor who diagnosed him with a disassociative disorder, which can distort reality for those who have it.
"Being crazy is bad," he says. "It's scary when the world isn't real to you. You come untethered. Everything seems imaginary. You look around the room and nothing seems real. You don't feel pain. I stopped letting myself feel."
