A lawyer for acting legend Warren Beatty is denying that that the screen star with a reputation for bedding leading ladies gave his blessing to a new tell-all that claims he bedded nearly 13,000 women.

In Star: How Warren Beatty Seduced America, longtime Hollywood writer Peter Biskind claims to have befriended the 72-year-old actor and convinced many of Beatty’s high profile former lovers to open up about their relationships with him.

The book dishes details on Beatty’s dalliances with Jane Fonda, Natalie Wood, Joan Collins, Julie Christie, Madonna, Diane Keaton, and singer Carly Simon — who has long been suspected of writing the hit single “You’re So Vain” in honor of the cad. Biskind estimates that by “using simple arithmetic” Beatty seduced “12,775 women, give or take, a figure that does not include daytime quickies, drive-bys, casual gropings, stolen kisses and so on,” according to excerpts featured in The New York Post over the weekend.

“I wasn’t the Warren Beatty type, but there I was,” Keaton told the author, according to The Post. “He was just so . . . overwhelming in every way. I remember looking at his face and going, ‘How am I here with this?’ The brilliance and the talent, you get caught up in it.”

In a statement to The Huffington Post, Beatty’s lawyer, Bertram Fields, denied his client consented to Beskin’s biography:

“Mr. Biskind’s tedious and boring book on Mr. Beatty was not authorized by Mr. Beatty and should not be published as an authorized biography. It contains many false assertions and purportedly quotes Mr. Beatty as saying things he never said. Other media should not repeat things from the book on the assumption that they are true or that the book is an authorized biography.”
