So is there any truth to the stories about Jake Owen dating Britney Spears? “No, not at all,” Jake told DJs Scotty and Carissa on Clear 99 Columbia, Missouri, last week.

Chuckling when the subject came up, explains that he was invited to Britney’s show about six months ago, and “I ended up getting a lap dance on stage from her, which was pretty interesting.” A video of the show hit the internet and fueled dating rumors, which are “totally not the case at all.” In fact, “I haven’t talked to her since,” he insists.

Despite the continuing questions – which he laughs off — he says he enjoyed meeting the sexy pop sensation: “She’s a great girl. She’s a nice girl and it was interesting to meet her and be in that whole different world.”

Jake has had his own share of attention for his sex appeal, of course, including being named one of People magazine’s Sexiest Men in Country, a designation he laughs off. “I got into this stuff to play music and sing songs, not to be on the cover of some glamour magazine,” he says.

While he may not enjoy the title, his family members seem to get a kick out of it. “I got a lot of crap for that from my brother,” he explains. “My mom’s always laughing at stuff like that. She gets to show her friends,” he adds.
