Arsenio Hall rules out dating Paula Abdul

Washington (ANI): Comedian Arsenio Hall has dismissed rumors that he is dating Paula Abdul. It was reported last week that the former pair had started seeing each other once again. However, the Coming To America star insisted he was just friends with the former American Idol judge.

"We are friends for life, and we love hanging out and laughing together, but we are not involved romantically," Contactmusic quoted him as saying. The couple had parted ways in June 2008.
