Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - J.C. Chasez, former member of the boy band 'N Sync, is finally speaking out about all of the rumors surrounding him and actor Chace Crawford.

Chasez claims he is tired of all of the tabloid reports that have been romantically linking to 'Gossip Girl' star Crawford.

Reports surfaced several weeks ago linking the two and even stating that they were living together. Crawford, 22, and girlfriend Carrie Underwood, former 'Idol' star and county singer have also reportedly called it quits.

Chasez, 31, says, "For the record, we're both straight. We're not dating. The only time people usually see us together is in some type of photograph, so they just assume it's like that."

He continues on to say, "If I'm dating a girl and I'm standing next to another girl, I'm having an affair. 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."
