I don’t for one second believe that Ne-Yo and Nicole with the last name that I can’t spell – are a couple. But some people do think they are based on the fact that Nicole and Ne-Yo tried to slip past waiting paparazzi after lunching at the Ivy in West Hollywood yesterday.

This coming Sunday (5/11) Ne-Yo will hold a special Mother’s Day Brunch at a private location in Atlanta. John Legend will serenade the ladies with songs. People are flying in for the occasion and MTV’s cameras will be rolling, so I better get my hair and nails did.
