NELLY FURTADO - FURTADO SLAMS CLAIMS OF BASKETBALL BEAU

Canadian singer NELLY FURTADO has lashed out at rumours linking her to American basketball player STEVE NASH. In her new song PROMISCUOUS, Furtado fawns over the Phoenix Suns basketball hunk, singing, 'Is that the truth or are you talkin' trash, is your game MVP (Most Valuable Player) like Steve Nash?' Toronto, Canada, columnist SHINAN GOVANI claims they have been seeing each other ever since the I'M LIKE A BIRD singer performed at Nash's charity event in Canada last summer (05). Futado's rep hits back at the claim, insisting, "It's 110 per cent not true." The singer recently confirmed she has split from long-term lover JASPER GAHUNIA.
