October 11 -- While Tom Cruise didn't even wait until his divorce was final to hit the town with Penélope Cruz, his self-described "devastated" ex-wife, Nicole Kidman, has been slower to find romance

But find it, she has, in the somewhat unlikely person of Adam Duritz, the dreadlocked lead singer of the Counting Crows, reports Us Weekly. No details on how the two met, or exactly how long they've been an item, but music insiders tell the magazine that, yes indeed, the two "are dating."

Duritz, whose biggest hit with the Crows was "Mr. Jones," is actually something of a ladies man, having dated such primetime stars as Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lara Flynn Boyle, and Along Came a Spider star Monica Potter.

Kidman told Diane Sawyer in August, just before her divorce from Cruise was finalized, "I refuse to let it make me bitter, I still completely believe in love, and I'm open to anything that will happen to me."
