*Ashley R., one of the roommates on BET's "College Hill: Atlanta," has released a statement denying rumors that she is dating rap star Bow Wow.

      For months, the black blogosphere has been rife with talk that Bow Wow is gay and dating R&B singer Omarion. According to blogger Sandra Rose, someone in Bow Wow's camp denied the rumors and stated that Ashley R., a 21-year-old marketing major, is Bow Wow's girlfriend.

      Not so, says Ashley.

      "The rumors are false.  Bow Wow and I went out a few times as friends several years ago, but it was nothing more than that," Ashley R. said in a statement released Monday by BET. "We did not date then and we're not dating now.  My boyfriend Michael and I have been together for over a year now.  We are very much in love and remain deeply committed to one another.  Like I said on the show, there will be no cheating.  Our relationship is true, and no rumor can change that."
