Lindsay Lohan Denies She And Tom Hardy Are More Than Friends

Lindsay Lohan finally decided to address our exclusive story that she was dating Inception's Tom Hardy, saying they're nothing more than platonic pals.

"Tom Hardy is just a friend of mine.... The tabloids are wrong," the rehabbed actress tweeted Monday afternoon.

But why bring this denial up now when we broke the story weeks ago? Could her delayed protestation mean there's some truth to her having feelings for Hardy after all?

Lindsay and the British actor, who was recently cast in the next Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, first connected after Lindsay left Betty Ford earlier this month. Hardy, who conquered his own addictions, was said to have been something of a sober companion for the troubled starlet. That's when, a source tells us, things got more serious.

Of course, Hardy is reportedly engaged to actress Charlotte Riley! It's possible she wasn't too happy to hear about her man getting cozy with Lohan, prompting Lindsay to tweet her denial!
