Cheryl Cole Wants RiRi, Minaj & Katy Perry Duets For US Album
Cheryl Cole is allegedly hoping to recruit a whole host of A-Listers to work with on collaborations for her debut US album.
According to M Is For Music, the Fight For This Love hitmaker is hoping to land duets with the likes of Rihanna, Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj for her first American release, ahead of her stint as a judge on The X Factor USA.
Despite having two hit albums in the UK, Chezza is yet to release any music Stateside, with reports suggesting that her management are hoping to comply a new LP to help launch her solo career in the US.
The website states that Cole's American album will feature new material, as well as the best tracks from her two previous UK records, 3 Words and Messy Little Raindrops - with sources claiming they will be "revamped" to appeal to a US market.
An insider told M Is For Music: "Cheryl’s management want her to become the next big popstar in America and are working on securing some A-List names for the album."
They continued: “A Rihanna duet is a certainty and Will.I.Am is trying to convince Minaj to work on the LP too. Katy Perry has also been in talks with Cheryl about a duet as she is a big fan."
The mole also added that Chezza is "desperate" to work with Beyoncé and Britney Spears, but understands that these sort of collaborations would "take a long time to achieve."
It is thought the 27-year old's new album will also feature tracks with her pal, Black Eyed Peas frontman, Will.I.Am, as well as her duet, Yeah Yeah, with rapper Travie McCoy.
While Cheryl continues her quest for world domination, allegations have suggested that Girls Aloud are planning to reunite WITHOUT the Parachute hitmaker.
Heat magazine claims the rest of the girls - Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts, Sarah Harding and Kimberley Walsh - are keen to reform the group, but Cheryl is said to be "too busy".
An insider told the publication: "The girls are very keen to reunite and start working on another album. Their main love is the band and they all feel ready to get back and start recording. But Cheryl can't commit to that right now."
"They're all very supportive of her, but they are concerned they could be left behind. They're also worried they might be hanging around forever if they wait for Cheryl.
They continued: "Obviously it's going to be very difficult without Cheryl. But they know they'll do well with another album and Cheryl could even join them for the tour next year if she's available."
The source added: "It makes sense and it doesn't mean that she's leave the band - she'd just be taking a break."
Girls Aloud without Chezza? Hmmm, we are not so sure...

It's been a minute since M.I.A. has been on the scene, but according to a tweet from music producer Polow Da Don, the British rapper/singer is in the studio recording with Chris Brown.
"In the lab with the great @ChrisBrown THE LAB WIT THE GREAT @chrisbrown and the incredible @_M_I_A_ Thank you, Dear Lord!” Polow wrote. “I’ve waited on this moment my whole career!!!! It's happening. Magic is upon us. Let's go!!!!"

M.I.A. is a rapper/singer of Sri-Lankan descent who crossed over into the mainstream with the monster single "Paper Planes" back in 2008. She rose to popularity within the hip hop community after a line from the song "Paper Planes" ("no one on the corner has swagger like us") was sampled and used for T.I.'s "Swagger Like Us" cut featuring Jay-Z, Lil' Wayne and Kanye West. She is currently in the studio; a date and title for the new project hasn't been announced.
