Rihanna Denies Dating Josh Hartnett

Despite rumors to the contrary, Rihanna has squashed the ongoing celebrity gossip stories that she's dating lame but good-looking actor Josh Harnett.

This is the widely-cited quote Rihanna supposedly gave about Josh Hartnett at the World Music Awards in Monte Carlo, Monaco, last weekend:

"I would be lying if I told you that [Josh Hartnett and I] were not more than just friends. I have so fallen for him, he is lovely. He is so hot and he is really sweet to me. When we hang out it feels right - even though it's still pretty new."

But Rihanna says that quote is pure crap.

"That is completely incorrect," Rihanna said. "People quote me on things that I never said. That quote is not a real quote. It's not right at all."

Here's a new interview with Rihanna where she confirms she's still single (high five, Chris Brown), and in which she writhes around looking sexy.
