I know some of you have heard the rumor that Dwyane Wade is dating Star Jones. They've been spotted hanging out with each other a number of times and the interwebs are ablaze with rumors.

Well, we can probably put those rumors to rest now, because D-Wade appeared on TNT last night and went in front of the Charles Barkley firing squad. It didn't go very well. By the way, Barkley is not saying Jones is a "cool girl," he's saying "cougar." Which she is, although not a very attractive one. Here's the first clip, where Wade doesn't actually deny dating Jones.



And here's the second one, where he gets much more serious in talking about Jones. I think this one explains all we need to know. They're "friends." Right Dwyane.

By the way, Wade is 26 and Jones is 46. Good God, that's almost as bad as Karl Malone. Almost.
