Jesse McCartney Joins Jewish Online Dating Site

As Jesse McCartney prepares to release his new album ‘Departure’ on May 20th, the singer tells In Touch magazine that following his split with Katie Cassidy, he’s joined the Jewish dating site jdate.com. “One of my best buddies is a conservative Jew and his sister had met her boyfriend on JDate,” said McCartney, who isn’t Jewish. “I actually hadn’t heard of it before. He was like, ‘You should try JDate.’ There are a lot of different people of all religious backgrounds on that site. My screen name is jbagel07 and a lot of people see the pictures of me and say, ‘Who are you? Why are you pretending to be Jesse McCartney?’ And I say, ‘It’s me – I just decided to meet somebody online.’ And they’re still like, ‘Why are you doing it?’ I have to admit I have a pretty cheesy profile – I just had fun with it.”
