Aw shucks.Even though Russell Crowe is separated from his wife of 9 years and is free to get intimate with other ladies, it seems that he is NOT romantically involved with Dita Von Teese…Even though they reportedly enjoyed a couples massage together just last month! Russell has not claimed the actual massage never happened, but he did write in a since deleted tweet: "@DitaVonTeese is brave,smart,sweet and elegant. She is a friend of mine. Who wouldn’t want friends like that? Friends, not lovers."Ok, ok, so it was a buddy massage then…Cause that's totally a thing!HA!Ah well, perhaps one day Russell and Dita's friendship will sail into lovers ocean, and the Les Mis star will finally receive an expert rubdown from one of the seXXXiest women in Hollywood!Lolz![Image via WENN.] Tags: couple, dating, denial, dita von teese, friends, friendship, hollywood, love, romantic, rumor, russell crowe, sex, together, tweet, wifeRead more http://perezhilton.com/2013-01-16-russell-crowe-denies-dita-von-teese-dating-rumors
