Amber Rose and Nick Cannon may be newly single and romance rumors have swirled about the two, but Rose insists they are just “best friends.”
Apparently, Cannon, 34, gave his pal a call before the People Magazine Awards Thursday to invite her to the ceremony.
“Nick called me like two hours ago and told me, so I stopped at Neiman’s,” the 31-year-old told People from the red carpet. “Literally this is the first dress I picked out, and it worked.”
Rose said she had high hopes for his role as MC of the inaugural PMAs.
“I think he’s gonna do great,” she said. “That’s my manager, I love him. He’s one of my best friends, so I’m excited to see how he does.”

Rose filed for divorce from rapper Wiz Khalifa in September and Cannon is separated from wife Mariah Carey.

Rumors of something more than friendship began after Rose signed on with Cannon’s management company, NCredible Entertainment, in September. However, Cannon denied those rumors, saying he’s not ready to date.
“Nick’s not a part of Amber’s relationship with Wiz. He’s got respect for both Amber and Wiz and was shocked when he himself heard the news they were breaking up just like everybody else,” revealed a source to HollywoodLife.com.

Later in the evening, Rose was filmed twerking it up with Chris Brown at the PMA after-bash at the Supper Club in Los Angeles.
Seems like Rose is just out to have a little fun for now, especially after it was reported that the divorce from her rapper husband broke her heart.
She was also linked in November with French Montana, whose real name is Karim Kharbouch, and a former flame of Khloe Kardashian, as well as Nick Simmons.
