Dating the pop star is far from a Cruel Intention of his.

Actor Ryan Philippe has determinedly slammed rumours that he is dating Katy Perry.

The two were rumoured to have been 'totally flirting' when they bumped into each other at Elton John's 70th birthday party in LA on the last weekend of March.

Katy recently broken up with Orlando Bloom after a year of dating. Ryan parted ways a few months ago from law school graduate Paulina Slagter who he had been engaged to. He was previously married to Reese Witherspoon.

Needless to say, Ryan is not at all happy with the latest in showbiz as he tweeted the following yesterday:

 

As we all know, all caps means seriously annoyed.

When responding to a fan who said they wished to be linked romantically to Perry, Phillippe added, "don't mind 'people' thinking that. don't want low flying pervs hovering periodically."

Mind you, as much as he’s having a Roar about the whole thing, he does seem willing to have a little laugh about it too:
