{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Never one to mince words, Fran Drescher is a straight shooter.
“The Nanny” star, 62, said she’s doing just fine in her single life and can get what she needs whenever she pleases.
“You know I’m kind of dating myself and it’s going quite well. I’m not dating,” she told Page Six at the NBCUniversal New York Press Junket on Thursday. “I have my gay ex-husband who I love and he fulfills a lot of needs. I have someone on the side who is a friend with benefits.”
