Chloë Grace Moretz thinks she's too young to have a serious boyfriend.
The 'Equalizer' star admits she usually takes her mother, Teri, or brother Trevor to red carpet events, as she doesn't want to "waste away" her youth in a relationship and worries about hurting boys.
She said: "It's a tough age to fall in love: people change so quickly."
She added: "I don't want to have to feel like I have to watch my step, 'cause I'm 17 and I shouldn't have to."
The 'Carrie' star, who is close friends with Taylor Swift, isn't happy that so many of her pals are already in long-term romances.
She told the September issue of Flare magazine: "I'm like, 'Dude, you're wasting away your entire high-school years, and now you're going to waste away your college years. You're going to spend your entire life in a relationship and then you're going to get married...and then you're dead! So you lived your life in a relationship!' That's not my style."
The blonde beauty insists she doesn't find it hard to have a private life despite her fame.
She said: "When you're with someone who's just your friend, then they [the paparazzi] take photos, but when you're out with your boyfriend, they never find out. It's like, 'You guys are so dumb; you're missing your opportunity!'"

Kanye West wants to put his plans to have a second child with Kim Kardashian on ice.
The 'New Slaves' hitmaker, who has 13-month-old daughter North with the reality TV star, is reportedly stressed out by his wife's desire to expand their family as soon as possible, as he wants to embark on another world tour after the release of his upcoming album.
A source told gossip website RadarOnline.com: "Kim has made no secret for her desire to get pregnant right away with another baby. However, Kanye is resisting because he is going to be going on a worldwide tour after the release of his upcoming album."
The duo, who got married in Italy in May and are still living with Kim's mother Kris Jenner in Calabasas, California, are also gearing up to sell their lavish mansion in Bel Air, as they are fed up of waiting for their extensive renovations to be completed, and the insider added: "The couple doesn't even have their own house to live in! It's just too much chaos for Kanye to handle."
But Kim, 33, is said to be desperate to have more children.
An insider previously said: "I think Kim will definitely have another baby soon - she wants to."
Speaking in an interview with Ryan Seacrest earlier this year, the brunette beauty also confessed she wanted more kids but said she couldn't "do more than three tops".

Zac Efron admits he was "going crazy" at home before seeking help in rehab.
The 'That Awkward Moment' star, who sought treatment for an alleged cocaine addiction twice last year, says he realised he had a problem when he could barely get through Monday and Tuesday without using a "social lubricant."
The 26-year-old actor opened up about his troubles on the new NBC reality series, 'Running Wild with Bear Grylls,' and confessed he previously struggled to cope with fame.
Speaking about finding success at an early age, he said: "You know it was just so quick, it's shocking, you know what I mean.
"The challenging part was never the work, it was sort of the in between work, the social aspects outside of it."
He added: "You spend a lot of time in your house going crazy, you know pretty soon you need a social lubricant. Once I needed that, it became to go anywhere. It was getting to the point where I was caring less about the work and waiting more for the weekend, where I couldn't wait to go out and sort of let loose and have fun. But then when Monday and Tuesday were too difficult to get through, then I was like, 'Oh, this is bad.' "
Zac is trying to embrace a more relaxed lifestyle in a bid to stay sober.
He said: "I just really never again want to have to take anything from the outside in to me to feel good about my outside, [I want] to be comfortable in my present skin, and that takes a lot of work. It's just meditation and stopping, slowing down your brain."

Hayden Panettiere's fiancé Wladimir Klitschko thinks she's going to be "an amazing mother."
The heavyweight professional boxer, 38, is thrilled the 'Nashville' actress, 24, is expecting their first child and is looking forward to their lives changing forever.
The Ukrainian athlete told E! News: "When you're going to become a father or a parent, your life is going to change. So I look forward to having my life change for the good and I heard, just recently, somebody said, 'You don't know what love is until you have your first baby, then you know what love is.' So I think I know what love is, but I look forward to getting more knowledgeable about that."
Asked about his fiancée, Wladimir said: "She's an amazing person and I'm more than sure that she's going to be an amazing mom."
The blonde beauty, who previously claimed she was born to be a mother, was very vocal about her desire to start a family to Wladimir.
He said: "Her wish to become a mother and have a child [was something] she's been mentioning and telling me about a lot. You know, every dream will eventually come true and she's going to be more than an amazing mother."
He also hinted they are planning to keep the sex of their baby a surprise until the birth, saying: "It's not important where the baby is going to be born, it's not important [whether it's a] boy or girl, what's important is that the baby's healthy."

The 'Black Swan' star, who is expecting her first child with fiancé Ashton Kutcher this year, attended a top secret party in her honour in Los Angeles, where she was joined by a small group of close female friends.

She said: "I never wanted to get married. From the age of 12, I prepared my parents for no marriage. Then things changed--I found the love of my life. Now my theory on weddings is: Don't invite anyone. Do it privately and secretly. My parents are okay with that. They're just excited that I said yes."
She added: "We all get movie star crushes. I'm marrying mine."

The 'Poker Face' hitmaker, who is gearing up to release a jazz album, 'Cheek to Cheek,' with the legendary singer, 87, in September, recently had a special trumpet inked on her body to help her remember working with him.
The 28-year-old star, who is believed to have 15 other tattoos, told PEOPLE.com: "I asked Tony to draw me a trumpet, and he sketched me Miles Davis' trumpet. Then I had it tattooed with his last name, Benedetto, underneath. Just so I would always remember this time together."

She said: "We were fast friends - friends ever since [our first meeting)."
Recalling the gala, she added: "When we were there, I sang a jazz song, 'Orange Coloured Sky.' Tony heard me sing it, and he asked to meet me after the show. And I said, 'Oh my gosh! Tony Bennett's here!'
"I fixed my hair, and my mom was fixing her makeup, and then we went back to meet him. He said, 'Do you want to do a jazz album together?' And I said, 'Yes, of course I do!' "

James Garner's death certificate has revealed he died of a massive heart attack.
The 86-year-old legendary actor passed away at his home in Los Angeles on July 19 from acute myocardial infarction.
The legal document also indicated the 'Rockford Files' star had been suffering from coronary artery disease for some time, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
A number of the late actor's former co-stars and colleagues paid tribute to him following his death.
Mark Gatiss, showrunner for 'Doctor Who' and 'Sherlock' described him as a "wonderful" man.
He wrote on Twitter: "Goodbye, Jim Rockford. The wonderful, amiable James Garner has gone. Had the honour of meeting him at the AFI twenty years ago. RIP"
Chat show host and journalist Piers Morgan echoed the sentiment.
He tweeted: "RIP James Garner - a wonderful actor. #GreatEscape #RockfordFiles #Maverick"
After making his film debut in 1956, James appeared in a huge range of movies and TV shows, including more recent projects like 2004's 'The Notebook' and US sitcom '8 Simple Rules', which he starred in for three years until 2005.

Freddie Prinze Jr. has been blasted by a former '24' star for calling Kiefer Sutherland "unprofessional."
Louis Lombardi, who co-starred on the series in 2005, has accused the 38-year-old actor of being "jealous" of the leading actor, 47, after Freddie recently claimed he almost quit acting completely because he "hated" working with Kiefer on the TV series in 2010.
The 46-year-old 'The Usual Suspects' actor said: "My experience with Kiefer was absolutely the opposite. He was one of the most professional actors I've ever worked with. He wanted the best out of everybody. I have nothing but great experiences with him. He's a gentleman."
He also told UsMagazine.com: "Maybe he [Freddie] was jealous, maybe Kiefer did something to him--who knows? But Kiefer's one of the most professional and most likable people! Kiefer is the most professional actor. I'm baffled about [that] kid's comments and baffled why he would say this years later! I'm all for Kiefer. I think he's a great dude and I have nothing but love for him. Everyone loves him, all the actors around him, the crew. Everyone!"
Kiefer previously insisted that he wished Freddie "the best" after his former co-star branded him "the most unprofessional dude."
A spokesperson for the star said: "Kiefer worked with Freddie Prinze Jr. more than five years ago, and this is the first he has heard of Freddie's grievances. Kiefer enjoyed working with Freddie and wishes him the best."

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden don't want to follow the example of their own parents.
The couple - who have children Harlow, six, and Sparrow, four - both saw their parents divorce when they were younger so vowed as soon as they learned they were expecting their first child to work hard as a "team" to provide their kids with a "healthy family life".
Speaking on 'Oprah: Where Are They Now?', she said: "We met and we were partners from day one.
"And from the second we found out we were going to parents together, we looked at each other and we said, 'OK, both of our parents are divorced. We both have had ups and downs with our parents and we don't really have a strong example of what a healthy family life is. But, we're recognising that now, so let's work at it and let's go through this together as a team.'
"It's been great. And I would say that's the easiest and hardest part."
The 32-year-old beauty - who married Joel, 35, in 2010 after four years together - likes to "explain" things to her children and be as honest and open as possible, offering them a "voice" in return.
She said: "I have to always come from a place of love and compassion with them.
"My kids operate best when I let them have a voice. I really explain things to them, because really, kids want to be told the truth. They just do. They just want you to be truthful.
"They can feel it and they know you. And they know you more than you know yourself."

Justin Theroux gives eggs as gifts.
The 'Leftovers' actor and fiancee Jennifer Aniston keep chickens at their Los Angeles home but he admits his kind gesture actually does him a favour as the birds lay more eggs than they are able to use.
Speaking to friend Chelsea Handler on 'Chelsea Lately', he said: "We have chickens at the house. There's one cock in the house. I don't want them keeping me awake in the morning.
"We have too many of them. We have about 10 chickens and each of them lays a couple a day, so we have too many eggs. But they always think we're being really sweet, like this farm and table thing where you bring a bunch of eggs. We're just slipping on eggs at the house."
The 42-year-old actor recently admitted his life has "changed a lot" since he started dating the former 'Friends' actress three years ago, and he initially struggled to cope with the scrutiny their romance receives.
He said: "More people are like, 'Hey, man!' And I don't think that's from my role in 'John Adams'. But it only changed as much as I engaged with it, and I learned very quickly: don't ever engage with it. It was a learning curve, but it wasn't as traumatic as you might expect.
"It's [press coverage is] just annoying. Occasionally you'll get a stewardess congratulating you, on, I don't know, whatever, some three-headed baby we just had."

Kelly Osbourne's new boyfriend dreaded meeting her parents.
Ricki Hall, 27, was thrilled to find rocker Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon to be "really welcoming" as he was feeling intimidated ahead of their first encounter.
He told Heat magazine: "It's terrifying enough meeting your new girlfriend's parents, but imagine them being Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne! I've grown up playing Ozzy's records.

"It was all so normal. I thought she'd be scary, but she was so lovely."
