Emmy Rossum and Adam Duritz split up two months ago

Emmy Rossum is single again. The actress has revealed she split from her boyfriend, Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz, two months ago.

“We’re still very close friends,” Rossum, who who divorced her music producer husband Justin Siegel last year, told the USA Today newspaper.

Meanwhile, Rossum says she was delighted when she was offered her role in the upcoming Showtime series Shameless — because she’s been waiting for ages for the right part to come along.

In the show — which premieres January 9 — Rossum plays Fiona, the oldest of six children of a narcissistic, alcoholic single parent, played by William H. Macy.

“Hollywood doesn’t provide you with tons of opportunities if you’re a woman,” she says. “I don’t want to go run around in my underwear and be chased by a guy with a knife. When you’re 22 and 23, there’s not much that’s not either, like, silly teen comedies or horror movies.”

Instead, she’s chosen “to work on material that inspires me — where I feel like I can add something to world, even if just little bit.” Getting cast on Shameless, “this is happiest I’ve ever been in my whole life.”
