Only days after rumors surfaced that the on-and-off relationship between Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson had switched back to Off, the Stallion was seen preying on new anonymous blondes in New York City while lovelorn Kate was allegedly recuperating from the split. So naturally, the news that Hudson picked herself back up and found a new paramour in the fit form of one-ball wonder Lance Armstrong is slightly comforting. But after reading the details surrounding the pair’s so-called dates and blooming “romance,” we aren’t biting. The three clues in particular that leave us seated while others jump to conclusions, after the jump.

1. Group Dates Do Not A Romance Make: The "cozy dinner date" on Friday night that started all the rumors was actually a gathering of six people, not to mention four kids running around. Plus, the new couple didn't even sit next to each other.

2. Happy Livestrong Day! Lance is a proven expert when it comes to attaching his name to Hollywood names. He's already been linked to Sheryl Crow and Ashley Olsen, nabbed cameos on the big-screen (including You, Me And Dupree, the Wilson-Hudson rom-com), and gone on jogging dates with fellow shirtless enthusiast Matthew McConaughey. So it's hard to ignore the fact that he is once again making tabloid headlines during the same week as Livestrong Day, his annual bike ride held to raise awareness for cancer. Excellent cause, and an excellent way of calling attention to it?

3. Who Eats Tacos On A First Date? Hudson reportedly downed fish tacos on their "date," and Armstrong went for nachos. We're just sayin'.
