Oh those wacky tabloids and their imaginations. Can you imagine Rob Lowe and Gwyneth Paltrow getting cozy at the zoo?

A tabloid is reporting that Rob and Gwyneth were at the Santa Barbara Zoo over President’s Day weekend”

“They were having a great time and looked like a couple. They were playfully touching and whispering in each others ears,” a source tells the magazine.

Really? You’re talking about Rob, who has been married for 21 years and has two children, and Saint Gwyneth, who is squeaky clean and is happily married to Coldplay’s Chris Martin?

The RumorFix team didn’t believe this rumor for a second. And we were right.

We reached out to reps for both stars and they both said pretty much the same thing. Power publicist Stephen Huvane said it best, “[Gwyneth] has known Rob, Sheryl [Berkoff] and their family for almost 20 years. They are dear and close friends and he is like a brother to her.”

That’s what we thought!
