Photos of the two “That’s 70′s Show” Alum were recently captured by the papz on a cozy dinner and furniture shopping date, which led us all to believe that the almost-divorced Ashton and his former co-star were doing the pants dance.

BUT no worries Rihanna, you’re still in the running! Mila‘s publicist released a statement squashing the rumors, explaining that the stars “have been friends for years”.

Friends eh? Might we remind you of Friends With Benefits and No Strings Attached? Could it be that life is imitating art?

The speculations about Ashton’s love life have taken their toll on his not-yet-ex-wife Demi, whose strong Twitter presence took a hiatus while the two were on the outs. She’s made a triumphant(?) return today however, tweeting an awkward emo picture of herself lying in bed.

Stop looking at us with those sad rehab eyes.
