Did Zach Braff Date Taylor Swift?

Speculation that director/actor Zach Braff was dating or has dated country pop star Taylor Swift began when he talked about her on "The Howard Stern Show."

The women of "The Talk" Wednesday said the actor had in fact dated the singer though he has denied it in the media.

Braff, who recently split from his model girlfriend Taylor Bagley after five years together, revealed he vowed never to date another celebrity after breaking up with "Saved" star Moore in 2006.

"When you date another famous person, that's when they really hound you. That's when the paparazzi are outside your house and that's when you can't ride your bike through Manhattan because they follow you," he told Stern.

"When my relationship with Mandy ended, (my publicist) said,'I'm going to give you a hint that you should know.

If you don't date these 25 girls, your life will be so much easier.' And she was kind of exaggerating because there's more than those 25 girls, but in so many words, if you can, don't date other famous people because then all the tabloids pretty much leave you alone."

Braff said that by not dating famous people he stays out of the tabloids.

"I could walk down the street, I don't get followed.

Well, if you're going to hook up with a famous girl, that might be fun for your ego, but you don't want to be out in public dating a famous girl because then they follow you everywhere you go," he said.
