NeNe Leakes Shoots Down Rumors of a Romance with Star Jones' Ex

"I don't know him from a can of paint," she says.

Tabloids may be churning and Star Jones might be fuming, but NeNe Leakes says everyone needs to dial it back a notch.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star seemed to strike up a fast friendship with Star's ex, Al Reynolds, as the rift between the Celebrity Apprentice rivals exploded in the tabloids. Some even suggested that it might be more than friendship. So what sayeth NeNe?

"I don't know Al from a can of paint!" she tells Life & Style magazine. "I just met him. I don't know him." Pictures popped up recently that seemed to chow NeNe and Al out to dinner, but NeNe explains, "There were 15 of us that went out to dinner, and we took several pictures of the group, and I just jumped into the picture." So consider it a photobomb gone awry.

NeNe adds that although Al is a nice guy, she's just not that into him. "He was very kind to me when I met him, but is Al my type of guy? No," she said. "He's not the type of guy I would date." I guess this is at least one thing Star can rest easy over.
