Cheryl Cole 'Planning Rihanna Duet For New LP'

Cheryl Cole's third solo album will reportedly include a collaboration with Rihanna.

After months of speculation regarding a duet between Chezza and RiRi, The Mirror claims that the popstar pair are planning to meet up and record together when the We Found Love star is back in London for award season next month.

Their track together is expected to feature on Cole's currently untitled new LP - with the Girls Aloud beauty hoping to release the first single from her new record in March.

The newspaper states that Cheryl and Rihanna 'really hit it off' after the Fight For This Love singer attended the Bajan babe's sell-out Loud tour at the O2 in London last month.

A source revealed: "Its a big year for Cheryl. She cant wait for her little soldiers to hear the music shes been passionately working on over the past 12 months.

She has struck up a friendship with Rihanna, who recently duetted with Brit star Calvin Harris. Rihanna thinks the world of Cheryl and will work on a party remix with her when they meet up on her next visit.

The album fuses pop, hip hop, soul and dance. It already has some pa! rty anth ems on it but Rihannas would get everyone up on their feet.

Cheryl has worked with the likes of Taio Cruz, Alex Da Kid, manager Will.I.Am, Patrizio Pigliapoco and apparently producer/songwriter Taley Riley on her forthcoming album.

The 28-year old Geordie has previously made no secret of her love for RiRi, admitting at The Brit Awards last year that the S&M hitmaker was her 'girl crush.'
