A source told the New York Post newspaper: "They were definitely on a date.
They both looked super-skinny. He was looking very grungy - baggy jeans,
lumberjack flannel shirt and baseball cap. She had on a white button-down
shirt, glasses and striped pants. They were talking very closely and rubbing
knees."
Renée has said her New Year's resolution is to sort out her love life.
The actress admitted she wants to spend 2007 looking for love.
She said: "My goals for the year are to concentrate on doing a better job of
managing my personal life, to do lots of cooking and to focus on my cat!"
In September 2005, Renée had her four-month marriage to country singer Kenny
Chesney annulled by the Los Angeles Superior Court.
She cited "fraud" as the reason but later issued a statement saying the term
was "simply legal language and not a reflection of Kenny's character".
