If you prefer your Hollywood romance news with a healthy dose of wholesomeness, then prepare to be tickled by the chatter surrounding purity ring-sporting Disney teens Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez.

Rumblings of a G-rated hookup have been bubbling for several weeks, but they boiled over on Wednesday courtesy of Rolling Stone, which, as part of a cover story on the Jonas Brothers, ran a fuzzy photo of Nick and Selena engaged in a half-hug, with each wrapping one arm decorously around the other.

The RS reporter believes the photo, which a Mouse House publicist apparently tried to delete, clearly shows a "genuine affection" between the pop pinup, 15, and the "Wizards of Waverly Place" starlet, 16.

"They've been dating for months," a source tells People of the pimple-free pair, who reportedly "bonded" over their purity rings (hers, given to her by her dad, reads "true love waits" wink .

But Selena and Nick, who was previously linked -- in the most chaste way possible -- to Miley Cyrus, are doing their best to brush off any suggestion that their shared abstinence has made their hearts grow fonder.

"The Jonas Brothers are all sweet. They're so amazing to me," the apple-cheeked actress downplays to "Extra." "They've become really good friends of mine, but I'm not dating any of them."

That sentiment is echoed by a rep for the tight-pantsed, chart-topping siblings, who recently tapped Gomez to star in their "Burnin' Up" video.

"They are not girlfriend and boyfriend," the flack insists to People. "They're friends. All of the Jonas Brothers are friends with Selena."

And in that fickle teenage way, Gomez is already talking up her fondness for an older and slightly less virtuous star -- Shia LaBeouf, 22.

"I have a really big crush on him," she confesses to "Extra." "I want to work with him so bad. I think he's so cute."

Nick, for his part, was thrilled that Kim Kardashian recently declared him "so cute."

"The Kim Kardashian rumor was hilarious," he laughs to Rolling Stone. "I was honored, but I was like, '[Her boyfriend] Reggie Bush would kill me!'"
