Audrina Patridge: Not Dating Benji Madden

Well, that didn't take long.

After far-fetched rumors that Audrina Patridge and Benji Madden are dating began surfacing online, The Hills star took to her blog to shoot them down.

Audrina has been pals with Benji - and even dated his best friend Tal Cooperman briefly - for some time, but denies anything romantic ever took place.

In fact, they haven't seen each other in awhile. The same report also linked Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt. Here's what Audzo had to say about it:

I'm getting a lot of calls today about a story that ran in a New York paper saying that I am now in a "romantic" relationship with Benji Madden.

I find it highly amusing, since I haven't seen him since December.  I think Benji is a sweetheart and we're good friends, but we are definitely NOT dating!

Just wanted to clear that up!

xoxo,
Audrina
