Strangely enough, the headlines are true.� Singer/Songwriter/Producer Ne-Yo doesn’t get a lot of rest, and fresh off the release of his latest (3rd) studio album Year of the Gentleman, he’s jumping right back into the studio on the arm of one of music’s most shocking artists.� Marilyn Manson is teaming up with the “Miss Independent” crooner for his own new album (after a disappointing turn on his own latest, lazily-selling album) after the R&B singer publically said how he’s been anxious to team up with the Godfather of goth.

�We�re about to go into the studio together. I�ve wanted to work with him for ages and his people reached out to me when they heard,� the Year of the Gentleman star revealed in a recent interview.

�I have no idea what the music will sound like or what direction we�ll take, but it will be really cool. We�re obviously two separate sides of the musical extreme but that�s what makes it exciting.�

Ne-Yo added: �People might think it�s a strange collaboration, I don�t. But don�t worry � you won�t see me adopting his style. I don�t think you�ll ever see me in make-up.�

Am I the only one that thinks a little makeup on Ne-Yo isn’t .. really… a bad thing?
