Shania Twain NOT Doinking Billy Joel

Glad we got that settled... hey, we didn't start the fire!

Well, it's a slow news day around the BLURT compound so we think we'll slip out early this morning and take in a 4-martini lunch and... wait, this just got slipped over the BLURT transom by one "Erin Kane, Publicist, EXTRA TV":

Shania Twain and Billy Joel are not making sweet music together.

The National Enquirer reported that Twain, 44, and Joel, 60, have been going on secret dates, but Twain's rep tells "Extra" that the "story is not true." Twain has been romantically linked to Frédéric Thiébaud since splitting from husband Robert "Mutt" Lange, who reportedly was cheating on her with Marie-Ann Thiébaud -- Frédéric's ex!

Joel introduced "Extra" to girlfriend Deborah Dampiere on the opening night of the Metropolitan Opera back in September.

Er, on second thought, it's STILL a slow news day around here, and now we definitely need those drinks. Meanwhile, the rest of you may ponder: why do industry publicists feel compelled to send us this kinda garbage? Or is it possible they don't even bother to take a look at our site and get a sense of what we cover? After all, we are a music site, and neither of these two celebs are really... oh, never mind...
