One of the biggest sex symbols of the '90s has signed up for online dating. Former Playboy model, Jenny McCarthy says she's signed up on dating website Match.com.

And thousands of men just completed their profiles.

"I have checked the men I like between 35 to 48," McCarthy says.

The actress ended her two-month romance to sports agent Paul Krepelka back in Febraury. And since then, the dating pool has been pretty shallow. Jenny told Hollyscoop:

"Yes, I'm single. It's so hard out here."

She added that most of the dudes she meets in Los Angeles "are like chicks."
HOLLYSCOOP EXCLUSIVE
Jenny McCarthy's sex kitten status has stood the test of time, and she's still as hot now as she was in those Candies magazine ads in the 90s. Hollyscoop caught up with the actress to talk love and work.

"I'm single," McCarthy revealed to Hollyscoop at the World Series of Boxing Presents LA Matadors Vs Astana Arlans event. So we asked Jenny what she likes in a guy, and the actress told us: "Just a nice guy, you know?"

Which seems easy enough to find, since dudes are always complaining that they're so nice and women don't like them because women like bad guys, and they're just so nice.

But it's harder to find a nice guy than it looks, according to McCarthy.

Jim Carrey is hilarious on screen, but in real life, he’s kind of a downer. Jim has opened up about his failed relationship with Jenny McCarthy and his fear over being “erased” from her memory.

Jim and Jenny dated for over five years before splitting in 2010. And now that Jenny has moved on, Jim feels lonelier than ever.

He said: "I've been erased and I know what it's like to erase someone. You know the feeling when you loved somebody and it ends and you feel as if they've moved on or maybe even none of it ever mattered? It's a terrible feeling...

Jenny McCarthy is horny all the time and she doesn't care who knows it.

Jenny started dating sports agent Paul Krepelka in December after her sister set them up, and apparently it's the best thing that's happened to her in a really long time. Not only is he a great beau, he's helping her stay skinny.

She said: “I didn’t have to work out before 35 but now I have to so it’s treadmill, bikram yoga, watching what I eat and of course great sex. Lots of great sex!”

Her body has always been amazing, so either she's always been super horny or she's just giving her boyfriend a confidence boast by telling everyone he's rocking her world in bed.
Leave it to Oprah to get to the bottom of Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey’s severed relationship! Jenny opens up to Oprah on tomorrow’s episode, and according to People, tells her the real reason they split up.

Oprah asks McCarthy, "Tell me, when did you know it was over?"

She replies, "You know, the simple word I can give – and there's a few, so let me say a few. The first thing is, when it's not fun anymore, you need to start investigating and do an inquiry into the relationship."

Jenny also talks about her new book Love, Lust and Faking It, in which she addresses her image while she was dating Carrey. "I've learned that," McCarthy says, "and this is why my identification wasn't caught up [in] being a celebrity's … girlfriend."

"It wasn't?" asks Winfrey.

"It wasn't at all," insists McCarthy.

Oprah then presses Jenny on whether she’ll get back together with Jim. "Okay, I'm gonna ask this … Just because I have to … Any chance you'll get back together, do you think?" Oprah asks. .

"God, another good question," replies McCarthy.

"That's sort of a simple one," says Winfrey, to which McCarthy says back, "I know. I didn't even think about that one, though."

Guess that’s a no?? We hear Jenny has moved on with new guy Jason Toohey and is living in Vegas with him. We don’t see a reconciliation any time soon! We definitely need to get our hands on that book of hers though!

McCarthy also confirmed they were I fact an item, which was obvious enough since the two were kissing all night at the Midsummer Night's Dream bash at the Palms Casino.

Jenny seems really happy! “I feel really good," she said. "I'm really happy [and] I'm looking forward to the future."

Jenny McCarthy is loving the single life! The 37-year-old blonde bombshell stepped out this weekend at the 4th Annual Midsummer Night's Dream at Palms Pool & Bungalows in Las Vegas looking younger and happier than ever!

When asked how single life is treating her, McCarthy responded, "I'm enjoying it tremendously!"

She told Us Magazine, "Look at me in this outfit. Would I not be hitting this? Come on."

Jenny donned a skimpy white two-piece Cleopatra-esque number on the red carpet. Girl’s got confidence! She added, "I have one more year to pull off an outfit like this, so I better hit it while it's hot."

And speaking of hot, Jenny seems to be loving her new town of Las Vegas, where she recently moved with her 8-year-old son Evan. "I really love it," she said. "I was never really a fan of Los Angeles. Coming out [to Las Vegas] believe it or not, I feel more peaceful."

She said Evan can’t get enough of his new surroundings. "Evan has seen every single show and he's gone to every casino, every arcade," she said. "There really is only so much you can do with a kid."

We’re still upset about her split from Jim Carrey a few months ago, but based on the way Jenny looked and acted over the weekend, she’s obviously a lot happier!

The saying goes, “The best way to get over a man is to get under a new one," and that’s exactly what Jenny McCarthy did.

As we reported earlier today, Jenny was spotted letting loose and hooking up with a guy while on a recent trip to Vegas. Many wanted to know who her new mystery guys was and it seems like Jenny would like to know the exact same thing.

“Yes, I kissed a mystery man in Vegas,” McCarthy posted on Twitter. "Everyone wants to know who he is or what his name is.... So would I. Lol."

Jenny McCarthy Has a New Man

Let’s hope Jim Carrey didn’t read that Tweet because he has been acting a bit odd after the break up. He even went as far as telling his fans on Twitter that he was not having a mental breakdown.

Jenny on the other hand seems to be doing great, so we’re assuming she was the one who initiated the break up.

Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey just split and she's already moved on with a mystery man.

Jenny was spotted yesterday getting "very cozy" to a new guy while on vacation in Las Vegas with her sisters and friends.

A source said: "After dinner, Jenny headed to the Playboy Club for some martinis and was seen getting very cozy kissing an unknown guy."

Jenny previously revealed her break-up from Jim was amicable and she was "grateful" for their time together.

She said: "I'm so grateful for the years Jim and I had together. I will always keep Jim as a leading man in my heart."

After five years together, you would think it would take more than a month to move on, but not in Hollywood! Wonder how Jim feels about this?
