JENNY MCCARTHY - MCCARTHY DODGES CARREY QUESTIONS

JENNY MCCARTHY uncomfortably dodged questions today (31MAY06) when she was asked about her new relationship with comedian JIM CARREY while appearing on US talk show THE VIEW. The pin-up, who is known for candidly discussing divorce, childbirth and motherhood, was uncharacteristically tight-lipped about her new relationship. She said, "No comment. Does that ever work? The funny thing is I've never said it in my whole life!" The View co-hosts STAR JONES and JOY BEHAR asked MCCarthy if she could confirm that she was dating "a well-known comedian who makes funny faces who is not JERRY LEWIS". MCCarthy deferred and said people who were interested in who she is dating could "look it up online", hastily adding, "Let's move on to the next topic." THE TRUMAN SHOW star was recently spotted enjoying an intimate dinner with MCCarthy on 20 May (06) at Los Angeles hot spot M Cafe de Chaya. The celebrity couple have been romantically linked since December (05), but have not confirmed they are dating.
