Was Zach Braff disappointed that he didn't make our Toxic Bachelors list? The Scrubs star has recently been making a strong run at the Most Toxic title, all but single-handedly ensuring that no woman under 35 can go for a drink in Manhattan without having her physique sized up, commented on, and, occasionally, groped by a real live sitcom actor.

Since his breakup with Mandy Moore a year ago, Braff has been trading on the sensitive-guy image he created with his tweemo touchstone Garden State to get women. (Was that the point of making it? One friend of Braff's from before the film remembers the actor drawing up a list of all the actresses he intended to bed once the movie came out.)

Having perhaps overextended his welcome among Hollywood's hotties, Braff has relocated to New York CIty for the summer, securing an apartment near NYU and becoming such a constant fixture on the nightlife scene that Gawker recently banned readers from sending in their sightings of him.

By day, Braff's usually hanging out at the Washington Square Park dog run, using his terrier, Roscoe, as babe bait; by night, he's haunting bars like the Beatrice Inn, deploying pickup lines such as "You have a nice bottom" and "You have a hot bod." (To ensure a steady stream of nubiles at such excursions, Braff often deputizes a friend of his, a local plastic surgeon, and instructs him to "line up some 9s and 10s for us.")

One young lass, out with friends recently, watched in shock as Braff told her companion, "You have nice breasts." To ward off his advances, the girl claimed she was seeing someone; Braff immediately turned his attentions to another member of her party.

"You'd be hard-pressed to find a celebrity who gets into ladies' skirts simply by being a celebrity," says the source. "He's the perfect combination of narcissistic and insecure."

Asked about the claims above, Braff's spokeswoman took issue with the idea that he kept a target list—"I would be shocked if that were true"—but let the others go. "Is he meeting people at bars? He's a 32-year-old single guy. I'm sure he is."

After getting off the phone with us, she evidently made another call to Cindy Adams for a bit of preemptive counterspin.
