Though denying rumors of her dating Adrian Grenier, Ashley Greene has nothing but praise for the small screen actor. "I have only met him once. But he's very smart. We actually started talking about environmental stuff. He's a very go-green guy," the Alice Cullen depicter in "Twilight" told People at the 2009 NBA Championship Victory Celebration hosted by the L.A. Lakers on June 18. "I think he's a really sweet guy," she added.

Last week, rumors emerged that Ashley Greene and Adrian Grenier were seen getting cozy in Santa Barbara, California, which then prompted rumors that they were dating. They were said taking surf lessons together, flirting and dancing close to each other all night long.

Contrary to the story, Ashley insisted she isn't dating Adrian. "I don't know where that started from!" she complained to US Weekly. "We ended up being at the same event and we were surfing, and we chatted and of course there happened to be a picture taken of that. And now we are dating!"

Love life aside, Ashley has just finished shooting "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" and is enjoying a break before the vampire drama's cast ensemble reunite to start production on the next movie, "Eclipse".
