After Mila Kunis was spotted hanging with her former "That '70s Show" co-star Ashton Kutcher several times over the weekend, the rumor mill began to spin that the one-time onscreen couple began dating in real life.

Well, her rep is addressing the rumors and shutting them down. "They've been friends for years, and they had dinner with a bunch of friends," the rep told Celebuzz. "They're not dating."

The rep continued to Usmagazine.com that there's "definitely nothing going on there" and that "three other people" were with the twosome when they went out to dinner.

According to People.com, those other friends included "70s" co-stars Wilmer Valderrama and Laura Prepon. The former castmates will all be on hand this Sunday during Fox's 25th Anniversary special.

The friends without benefits were spotted furniture shopping and chowing down at a sushi joint for dinner in Studio City, California, over the weekend. They also were seen later hanging out at his L.A.-area bachelor pad. Adding fuel to the dating-rumor fire was the fact that Kunis tried to hide from photogs by riding in the backseat of his car.

"Ashton was touching Mila's hand, and Mila was all dressed up," observed an X17 Online photographer who saw Kutcher and Kunis at the Japanese restaurant Asanebo.

Whether or not the "Two and a Half Men" star is dating Kunis, it seems his dance card has been quite full lately. Kutcher's also been romantically linked to Rihanna, who later denied anything was happening between them, telling reporters, "I'm happy, and I'm single."

Segway Seg-Link kit hits the FCC, injects dreams of PC-based transporter tinkering

segway seg-link kit

Own a Segway? You're about to own something else, too. That "something else" is better known as the USB-enabled Seg-Link kit, a downright mysterious new product that has shown itself today tromping through the FCC's database. Details are exceedingly light, and even the user manual doesn't do a stellar job of explaining the device's true purpose; best we can tell, it'll enable Segway owners to connect their two-wheeled transporters to a PC. Beyond that, we're left to imagine a world of Dinan-like horsepower flashes, tinkering with compression calculations, adjusting gear ratios and implementing other tactics learned in one of the fourteen Fast & Furious films. We're guessing it'll be on sale in the US of A within a few months -- till then, feel free to drop your hypotheses on what it'll bring in comments below.

T-Mobile introduces the HTC One S live from New York

T-Mobile threw a little get-together high above New York's Meatpacking district tonight, and we were there to catch a glimpse at the star of the show: the HTC One S. The carrier was celebrating the launch of its cut of the One line, the 4.3-inch mid-leveler packing the same dual-core S4 processor and 8 MP camera as its big brother, the One X. We've already put the S though its paces these past few weeks, but we couldn't help fawning over it again tonight. While the screen isn't top of the line, the size, Sense 4.0+ Ice Cream Sandwich, and camera have us downright smitten. And while the S was the guest of honor, T-Mobile included some other goodies for its guests, including a look at its new ad campaign (yes, Carly was there) and a live performance from Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. 

You can check out our hands-on with T-Mobile's HTC One S here. It'll be available next week, April 25, for $199 on contract. Hit the break for some shots from tonight's gathering.

GSA grilled over 'appalling' spending

LIVE VIDEO ? Congress investigates the spending practices of the General Services Administration (GSA) following a $823,000 conference at a Las Vegas resort.

By Becky Bratu, msnbc.com

At a congressional oversight hearing Tuesday, Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif., ?said he was prepared to systematically pull apart the General Services Administration to the point where "we will make it a question to the American public whether the GSA is needed at all."

?I'm here to tell you the buck stops here,? said Denham, who heads the House Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management. "Where crimes have been committed, people will go to jail."

The hearing focused on the GSA's use of taxpayer money in the wake of recent revelations of lavish spending for a Las Vegas conference in 2010 that cost $823,000. It was the second day of hearings in the matter.

Ex-GSA head apologizes for $823,000 Las Vegas spending spree

Rep. John L. Mica, chair of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said that while the GSA's wasteful spending in Las Vegas is "appalling," it is only the tip of the iceberg.?

?The Republican?congressman from Florida?added that he and Denham have been discussing whether the GSA's culture of squandering can be purged or whether the agency -- "our government's landlord" -- should be replaced.

The GSA, which?manages federal properties, is also being investigated for how resources were spent on other outings and conferences, including trips to Hawaii, Atlanta, Ga., and Napa, Calif., and an intern conference in Palm Springs, Calif., attended by 150 people.?

In his opening statement, Bob Peck, former head of the agency's public building department, said the Las Vegas conference was an "aberration," and most conferences he attended were not lavish. He said he paid for some food out of his pocket in Las Vegas.

Peck also offered a personal apology and said he would not shirk responsibility.

Martha Johnson, who resigned this month as head of the GSA, apologized Monday in a different oversight hearing for the way the money was spent. Five other officials were placed on administrative leave after GSA Inspector General Brian Miller reported that lavish spending was an accepted part of the agency's culture.

The official at the center of the scandal, Region 9 Public Building Regional Commissioner Jeffrey Neely, was not present at the Tuesday hearing.

"Mr. Neely is not with us today. ... We had requested that he be with us," Mica said, noting his absence.?"I guess the only way we'll get to see him is in a video in the hot tub" -- referring to a widely circulated photo showing the former GSA official relaxing in his hotel room during the Las Vegas conference.?

"This guy set up a fiefdom," subcommittee member Timothy Walz, D-Minn., later added.

On Monday, Neely?repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent during a hearing by the?House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

In a memo included in the inspector general's report, Neely ? who hosted a $2,700 party at the conference ? allegedly wrote, "I know I'm bad ... but why not enjoy it while we can? It ain't gonna last forever."

Miller told the subcommittee the daily spending allowance per person in Las Vegas was $71 for meals, with $12 intended for breakfast. The report revealed that more than $40 per person was spent on breakfast, the subcommittee said. Employees got around spending limits by staging "fake awards," for which costly foods were purchased, Miller said. These awards were a "running joke" in the agency, he added.

?We smelled a rat and we asked for data," Mica said, adding that the subcommittee's previous attempts to investigate the GSA were delayed and "got stonewalled time and time again."

The subcommittee commended current GSA deputy administrator Susan Brita, who had asked Miller to investigate the 2010 conference.

"It could have been swept under the table had it not been for one person," Mica said.

In an email to Peck last year, Brita said conference expenses for a clown suit, bicycles used for a team-building exercise, and a mind-reader, among other things, were not justifiable.

Brita told the subcommittee it is not clear whether the excessive spending culture spread to the entire agency beyond Region 9.

?The culture of an organization is where it all starts," Walz said. "That is the piece that needs to be changed."

The GSA is made up of 11 regions.

?I think we?d be very na?ve not to see this in other regions,? Walz said.

The hearing revealed a lack of oversight for Neely, who also served as acting regional administrator. His only direct supervisor was Peck.

More than three hours into the hearing, Denham said investigations will continue into what he called a ?culture of fraud, waste corruption, cover-ups.?

Nas Toasts Rick Ross' 'Stay Schemin' ' Sample

'That's what hip-hop is — we take pieces of this and that and make it new,' Nas says of track featuring Drake, French Montana.

On Nas'classic 2001 battle track "Ether," the Queens, New York, rap great issues a challenge. Of course there's the one he threw to then-rival Jay-Z, but that's old news. In the song's first verse, God's Son declares that he's the "truest" and then dares rap fans: "Name a rapper that I ain't influence."

Nasir's artistic reach may be hard to quantify, but every now and then you can see the Don's musical DNA embedded in new rap material. Take Rick Ross, Drake and French Montana's "Stay Schemin,' " for example: The song's melodic hook is a direct lift from the unreleased "Stay Schemin' Stay Dreamin'."

"It's a big record," Nas told "RapFix Live" host Sway when he appeared on the show last month.

On the original Nas version, which was recorded in the late 1990s, the veteran MC sings of a jealous foe who's plotting against him. "Lookin' back at times, when I had on my shines, you were standing there/ I never tried to diss you, you didn't need your pistol, why'd you have to take it there," he starts off in the first verse.

For the updated version, Ross recruits Bronx rapper Montana to lay an interpolation of Nas' old-school hook. "Stay schemin', n---as tryna get at me," French harmonizes in homage.

Nas says that the new record reflects rap's sample culture, and ultimately he is a fan. "That's what hip-hop is — we take pieces of this and that and we make it new. That record's crazy."

How do you think Rick Ross' "Stay Schemin' " holds up against Nas' original? Tell us in the comments!
