Sharon Stone Giving Up Being A Cougar?

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand rumors!

55-year-old Sharon Stone was photographed arm-in-arm with Hamptons hotelier Michael Wudyka, 46, so of course, the tabloids went crazy with the rumor.

RumorFix reached out to Sharon’s rep who tells us, “They are not dating. They are just friends.”

Sharon and Michael are working together on the Creative Coalition, which probably caused all the gossip.

They were first spotted in late April when they went to a Creative Coalition event in Washington, D.C.
