True Blood's Joe Manganiello Denies Dating Demi Moore

Sometimes the source of a rumor is completely understandable. Maybe two people have suddenly begun hanging out all the time, and whispers begin circulating they might be secretly dating. Then again, sometimes rumors start from almost a ludicrously small piece of evidence that’s foolishly extrapolated out. The following article of beauty school nonsense definitely falls in the latter category.

For the past week or so, rumors have been circulating about Demi Moore possibly moving on from Ashton Kutcher with True Blood star Joe Manganiello. The two were reportedly seen at a premiere, got really cozy, hit it off, attended a party after and were seeing where things might lead. It turns out only the first portion of that story is true. The two were at the same premiere, but they only talked for about three minutes.

According to The LA Times, Manganiello told Ryan Seacrest as much this morning on the American Idol host’s radio show. Apparently, he approached her to make a few jokes about both of them playing strippers in movies. They had a few laughs and parted ways, probably not to speak until the next time they happen to run into each other at another premiere.

As for what actually is happening in both of their lives, by all account Moore is continually improving following her rehab stint, and Manganiello’s profile continues to rise. He’ll next be seen in Magic Mike, where, of course, he’ll play a stripper.
