Rihanna, Cheryl Cole to record duet this week
The pair have been rumoured to be planning a collaboration for some time and Rihanna is said to have agreed to record a "party anthem" with Cole for the Girls Aloud singer's upcoming third album.
Fresh reports have since claimed that the singers will meet at an LA studio later in the week to work on the project.
"Cheryl's flown to LA to put the finishing touches to her album and is due to meet Rihanna to record their duet," a source told the Daily Star Sunday.

"It's been a long time coming and something both their management teams have been trying to arrange. But with their busy schedules and Rihanna's tour dates, they haven't been able to until now."
Cole is also said to be in talks to record collaborations with Eminem and Nicki Minaj for her new album, which was recently described as her best yet.
Cole's new single, which is rumoured to be co-written by herself and Taio Cruz, is apparently due for release in March.
