Three weeks after getting cozy in New York over New Year’s Eve, Jessica Simpson and John Mayer made another cute-couple appearance, this time in Miami.

On Monday, the pair worked out together at their hotel’s Sports Club/LA gym, taking a yoga class and then lifting weights a deux, sources said.

That evening, they arrived hand-in-hand at The Shore Club’s Nobu restaurant, where they sat and talked for more than two hours over sushi and bottled water, she in a revealing black dress, he in a black sweatshirt and jeans.

Simpson, 26, and Mayer, 29, longtime friends who’ve been linked off and on since the summer, chatted easily, and at a few points she leaned forward and he reached across the table to hold both her hands.

“They looked really cute together,” says one witness at Nobu. “They were talking and laughing the whole time. She was constantly fixing herself to make sure she looked her best for him.”

When the check came, she reached for her bag and he reached for his wallet. She, however, pulled out a lipstick while he grabbed the bill. After the meal, she took a trip to the ladies room, and when she came out, wrapped her arms around the much-taller Mayer and stood on her tiptoes for a kiss on the nose.

How long will the couple be in the Sunshine State? Mayer, at least, should be sticking around: He’s performing in Jacksonville on Thursday, Miami on Friday, Orlando on Saturday and Pensacola on the following Monday night.

Jessica Simpson was told to stay away from a supermarket because she was distracting customers.

The sexy star can’t even go grocery shopping without being followed by paparazzi.

Now one frustrated store manager has had enough and asked Jessica not to come in during store hours.

Jessica told Britain’s Glamour magazine: “Two weeks ago, I was at Whole Foods and probably about 100 photographers were outside waiting for me.

“The manager gave me his card and said, ‘Jessica, I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t come in during store hours. Give me a call and I’ll open up early or you can come in after we close. But this is very distracting for all my customers.

“I looked at him kind of shocked. Then I was just mad, not at him but at the situation. I couldn’t even live my normal life anymore.”

The ‘Employee of the Month’ actress is increasingly concerned by the level of attention she receives from the paparazzi, especially when they chase her while she is driving.

Jessica, 26, said: “Seriously, it does get dangerous. I don’t think I could deal with it, if something happened to somebody else because of my being chased by all these assholes running red lights.”

Jessica Simpson is refusing to turn her back on a turbulent 2006, insisting the last 12 months have taught her more about herself than any other experiences to date. The pop star and actress enjoyed mixed fortunes last year after finalizing her divorce from Nick Lachey and, in December, making headlines by messing up a rendition of Dolly Parton’s hit “9 To 5″ during a Kennedy Center Honors tribute.

But despite the emotional turmoil and bad press, Simpson is putting on a brave face. She says, “This time last year, I really thought I knew myself completely. But I didn’t at all. I was in this place where I wasn’t going up or down or figuring anything out. I was so complacent.

“Everything that happened last year made me realize what I want from life and what’s important. I’ve learned so much about myself and I’ve taken on a whole new perspective.”
