Actor/director Vincent Gallo has laughed off reports he's dating an underage girl, insisting it's his "humanitarian duty" to befriend the sexy teen. The Brown Bunny star, 45, has been romantically linked to Los Angeles socialite Cory Kennedy, with the 16-year-old boasting of their close relationship on her internet blog. In it she hails Gallo as a "keeper" and posts photos of the pair together.

However, the actor insists their relationship isn't sexual and jokes he's merely following new mom Madonna's example by looking after the teen. He tells PageSix.com, "With the psychotic, middle-aged Madonna out there on the loose buying up all the stolen Negro babies in Africa, I felt it my social and humanitarian duty to take in any young, beautiful and sexy orphaned Jew teens running wild in Beverly Hills. Cory's a great kid, and I'm proud to be her daddy."
