I was more than a little disturbed by rumors that Katy Perry had been canoodling with Benji Madden over the week end and that the two might even be a new couple. I would have honestly lost a bit of respect for Katy, who seems so cool and above falling for wannabe rocker posers. Thankfully it has come to light that those rumors are false, with sources on both sides in denial.

From Katy’s camp: “Nothing romantic happened whatsoever. They were with a huge group and Katy said he isn’t her type.”

And a source close to Benji is backing this up saying “He has no interest in her whatsoever. Benji is very good friends with her ex-boyfriend, fellow musician Travis McCoy.”

And just to make sure things were crystal clear, Kat even blogged about it on her website:

“Oh kittens! It’s two pseudo famous people sitting next to each other, doesn’t mean we were bumping uglies! You know I don’t just do that with anyone! That’s just how the media works, as you can tell.”

And it’s a good thing, too. Dating Paris Hilton’s ex Lord knows what Katy would have caught.
