Ne-Yo turned down Spice Girls

Ne-Yo says he turned down writing songs for the Spice Girls' comeback album because he was busy recording for Rihanna.

Not like that, o ye of filthy minds. Apparently Ne-Yo was asked to write a track for The Spice Girls, but had to turn down the job because he was too busy with Rihanna. Not like that, writing songs for her, you animals. The singer and songwriter told the Daily Star: "Spice Girls asked me to write some songs but I couldn't find time. They wanted something to put on their comeback album but I never got round to getting it done. I was recording songs for Rihanna at the time".

He's apparently a bit of a fan, though: "Scary Spice is my favourite all day long, although I like Posh too. She and Beckham are a real power couple in the US. Even if they just go to dinner it's a big thing".

Ne-Yo's own album, 'The Year Of The Gentleman', is out in June
