CROSSING JORDAN'S JERRY O’CONNELL’S BACHELOR PAD

Rebecca Romijn-Stamos’s new guy takes Us on a tour of his West Hollywood home

- By Jed Dreben & Sarah Tomczak

Despite having had many famous girlfriends (including Sarah Michelle Gellar, E!'s Giuliana DePandi and currently Rebecca Romijn-Stamos), Jerry O’Connell hasn't applied a feminine touch to his Hollywood Hills home of nine years. The main features of the living room in his two-bedroom apartment are a treadmill and a ping-pong table! “A lot of times when I bring a girl back, they're shocked at how barren it is,” O’Connell, 30, tells Us. “There was a good six months when I didn't have a bed - I was sleeping on a towel!” Now the star has primped his pad with secondhand furniture from NYC's Housing Works (which he calls, “a cooler, hipper Goodwill”), perhaps the cozy condo is finally fit for a queen.

O'Connell's A.M. Choice? "Couple of eggs and coffee - you can't go wrong," he tells Us. "Eggs are a solid breakfast."

"There's a side of me that's the single guy and likes the fact that no one can really mess with my place."
