On the – œHow To Know You’re Now A Pop Star’ chart, this one ranks pretty highly. New York wonder kids MGMT have had to issue a statement denying rumours one half of the pair, Andrew VanWyngarden, is dating actress Kirsten Dunst. The claims were made by none other than bottom-feeding UK rag The Sun, who also suggested VanWyngarden was “romantically linked” to singer/tabloid plaything Fabiola Gatti.

“Not only is Kirsten Dunst NOT dating Vanwyngarden, she was in Los Angeles during the festivals the Sun claimed she was attending in Europe,” the statement reads. “VanWyngarden never dated Fabiola Gatti, also mentioned in the piece. We find it funny there could be so many things factually wrong in such a small amount of column space.”

If further proof was needed of MGMT’s hot property status, the duo has comprehensively sold out all its upcoming Australian shows – even up-sizing venues in Sydney and Melbourne to meet massive demand.
