Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong will face even more questions about their rumoured romance at the upcoming Espy Awards - both have signed on as presenters.
The rumoured couple will both hand out prizes at the 20 July sports awards, which will be hosted by golf and basketball enthusiast Justin Timberlake.
David Beckham, Zac Efron, Kristen Bell and Luke Wilson are also among the early presenters confirmed.
Hudson and Armstrong have both resisted answering questions about the state of their relationship in recent weeks.
Cyclist Armstrong appeared on U.S. magazine show The View last week (ends20Jun08) and politely avoided giving an answer, stating, "I know you have to ask that question. And it's
my right not to answer it... I think when you're happy about something or proud about something, I think it's natural in human nature to talk about it. But I'm not going to answer it. Next question."
Hudson deferred to Armstrong when she was asked the same question on the same show a week before.

Actress Kristen Bell has harboured a crush on hockey star Chris Osgood since her youth - and insists she would pick the Canadian goaltender over Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt any day.
The Forgetting Sarah Marshall star grew up as a hockey-obsessed tomboy in Detroit, Michigan and admits her "first crush" was on the Detroit Red Wings sportsman, reports People.com.
Bell, 27, says, "Brad Pitt be damned - he had nothing on Osgood's rookie skill and sad eyes.
"There was actually a day in high school when I wrote on a name tag 'Mrs. Osgood' and wore it the whole day. I really thought we were perfect for each other. I'd love to meet him - and probably apologise that things never worked out."

Kristen Bell says there's one person she's never forgetting: Detroit Red Wings star Chris Osgood. Maybe not a household name to non-hockey fans, but Bell says that growing up as a tomboy in Detroit, she considered Osgood "my first crush."

"There was actually a day in high school when I wrote on a name tag 'Mrs. Osgood' and wore it the whole day. I really thought we were perfect for each other.

British comedy Three And Out has flopped at the box office, failing to reach the top ten in its first week of release.
The movie follows the story of a train driver - played by Mackenzie Crook - who discovers he will be fired if he has three fatal accidents within a one-month period.
But the film - directed by Jonathan Gershfield - has attracted controversy in the U.K, with drivers of London's Underground trains picketing the premiere, claiming it trivialises suicide.
The movie has taken just ($378 908) GBP189,454 to open at number 12.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall - starring Kristen Bell and Russell Brand - topped the chart, taking $3.5 million (GBP1.75 million) in three days.
Jessica Alba's The Eye is in second place with takings of $1.4 million (GBP704,655), while Kevin Spacey's gambling drama 21 dropped from the top spot to number three.
Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey's treasure-hunting adventure comedy Fool's Gold was in fourth place, down from number two taking ($952,532) GBP476,266.
In Bruges, a black comedy about two hitmen starring Colin Farrell and Ralph Fiennes, was at five with takings of ($816,096) GBP408,048.

The Forgetting Sarah Marshall star is currently single, despite recent reports she is dating Kate Hudson's ex boyfriend Dax Shephard.
But she'll have no shortage of willing suitors after confessing she still has the outfit she wore every day to Catholic school.
Bell says, "I tucked that away when I was 18. I'm going to wear it on my wedding night."

"Dax is a gem – one of my closest friends," Poehler told People at the comedy's premiere Wednesday night, as it kicked off the 7th annual Tribeca Film Festival in New York.

Actress Kristen Bell came to the rescue of a dog hauled from the wreckage of Hurricane Katrina.
The Heroes star couldn't resist taking in the pooch after the pair was introduced - even though she already had two dogs in her care.
But Bell admits the dog has a few bad habits: "She's an 11-year-old black Labrador with no teeth, one ear and she breathes like Darth Vader.
"And she eats random objects. She has eaten a carton of cigarettes; a pack of cards. She once knocked a jar of salsa over and ate the salsa and the broken glass."

With such variety this week, we could be tempted to go nuts and combine them into one super movie. Osama Bin Laden would have 88 minutes to paint an anamorphic picture that disproved Darwinism while riding the winner of the Kentucky Derby through ancient China with his gay lover who is also an Oscar nominated composer moonlighting as a zombie stripper...we smell a Golden Globe!
"Anamorph"
Utilizing the painting technique of anamorphosis, whereby the nature of an image changes depending on the viewer's vantage point, filmmaker Henry Miller marks his directorial debut with this intricate and cerebral thriller that reads like "Saw" by way of "The Da Vinci Code." Willem Dafoe stars as the dogged but haunted Detective Aubray, on the trail of carefully placed clues and elaborate puzzles, trying to catch a serial killer whose crimes bare a striking resemblance to an old
