TV star Rashinda Jones is denying rumors that she and guitarist John Mayer are seeing each other. The online gossip mill said the two were spotted having dinner together Friday night (Oct 23) at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood. Supposed “witnesses” at the restaurant even said John borrowed a guitar from one of the restaurants’ performers and sung “Your Body is a Wonderland” to Jones, who plays Ann in the new NBC comedy, “Parks & Recreation.”

But a spokesperson for Rashida says she and John were NOT there together. They were there separately, each with their own group of friends.

“She was having dinner with friends – totally independent of him,” the rep told WENN. “He came over to the table she was at with her friends, said hello to everyone, (and) asked if he could play the guitar that her friends were already playing. (His) performance was not directed at anyone.”

Rashida Jones, whose father is musical genius Quincy Jones, is still dating presidential speechwriter Jon Favreau.
