After weeks of speculation and concrete evidence, an actor close to Heroes’ co-stars Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia (see?) has denied rumors that the two are romantically involved and thinks that we should all just “let it go, and respect their privacy.” Which means, of course, that the two of them are romantically involved and this guy thinks we’re all fucking idiots.

From People:

“The rumor is not true,” costar James Kyson Lee, who plays Ando, told PEOPLE at Tuesday’s Lift Up America Meet Me in Miami premiere in Hollywood. “Let’s just end it there.”

He added about the romance talk: “I think we were just surprised because they’re 12 years apart – for people to even conceive that. I know there have been a lot of jokes, Hayden turning 18 and whatnot. At some point, you just have to let it go, and respect their privacy.”

I know this might come as a great shock to you, but I could honestly care less about whether or not these two are dating. What I do care about, however, are people lying to me. And, I guess, the high price of gasoline.

So, as a result, I will not be driving cross-country to kick this guy’s ass. Instead, I think I’m just going to send him a package to teach him a lesson. A package that I hope he opens up in front of his children so they, too, can learn a lesson and I can justify the cost of spending ten bucks on a book called “Sally & The Lie That Ate Her Whole Town”. Plus tax. And shipping.
