I guess I’m an old lady, because I barely know who JC Chasez is, and have absolutely no idea who this Chace Crawford person is. All I know is, he has a soap opera name and he is prettier than most girls I know. Anyway, these two marginally famous pretty boys insist that they are nothing more than straight friends, despite rumors circulating to the contrary.

Get it straight: JC Chasez and Chace Crawford aren’t dating.

The former NSYNC singer, 31, debunked Internet rumors linking him to the Gossip Girl hottie, 22, on Kiss-FM 104.7 on Wednesday.

“For the record, we’re both straight,” Chasez declared. “We’re not dating.”

Chasez — who called Crawford a “super nice guy” — said he understands why people may think they’re an item.

“The only time people usually see us together is in some type of photograph, so they just assume that it’s like that,” he said.

“If I’m dating a girl and I’m standing next to another girl, I’m having an affair,” Chasez went on.

“So now, since there hasn’t been any of that smoke out there, if I’m hanging out with a guy, they’re going to make up a rumor.

“It’s just stupid.”

I’ve never seen Chasez standing next to a girl– unless you count Justin Timberlake. Anyway, Chace’s relationship with beard- uh, American Idol Carrie Underwood, is over.

Carrie Underwood and Chace Crawford have split, sources confirm to Usmagazine.com.

The American Idol winner, 25, and the Gossip Girl star, 22, had been dating since last July, but did not go public with their romance until October.

Underwood had spent Thanksgiving at his parents’ home in Dallas and part of her Christmas break with his relatives.

An insider told Us Weekly in December, “His parents are fond of her… they believe ‘Carrie Crawford’ would be a great addition to the family!”

“She’s a classy girl,” Crawford told Us in October.

I’m sure all of you in CelebitchyLand will sleep better tonight knowing that these two are straight, and that Chace is, in fact, available. Here’s my question: how in the world did these two meet- at a day spa or something? Also: when did anyone start caring about either of them? I can’t remember the last time JC Chasez did anything relevant, and this Chace kid is on a brand new CW show that I’ve never even heard of.

Gorgeous Gossip Girl actor Chace Crawford, 22, was seen trying to quietly slip in and out of a poolside cabana he was thought to share with N Sync singer JC Chasez, 31, at the Roosevelt hotel in LA. Defamer had a tipster send in the sighting along with a faraway photo of Crawford. Maybe these two are just “good friends,” but this week’s Globe suggests it’s something more. I know the Globe isn’t the most reliable source, but they have photos of the two out together in New York, Hollywood and Miami across several months.

Globe says that Crawford’s girlfriend, country singer Carrie Underwood, has already lost him to the handsome boy bander, and that the two guys have moved in together in LA:

Has American Idol turned country star Carrie Underwood lost her hot actor boyfriend Chace Crawford to another guy?

While cowgirl Carrie has been touring with Keith Urban, rumors are mounting that she could be headed for a mess of Brokeback heartbreak as Crawford has been popping up on both coasts with former ‘NSync star JC Chasez!

And there are even reports the Gossip Girls hunk has moved into JC’s Los Angeles pad…

The Globe notes all the times these two have been seen out together, including Elton Jonn’s Oscar party, New Year’s Eve at the Raleigh hotel in Miami and in September at the Gramercy Park in NY. They say they’re “inseparable.”

If they’re more than friends and are together that’s great for them. These two are both attractive young guys and they make a really cute couple. It’s too bad that Underwood may have been dumped and/or cheated on, but she’s a country singer and I’m sure it would make a useful subject for a song. She could change “Before He Cheats” to “Before He Cheats With His Best Friend.”
