Rihanna 'still wants Cheryl Cole collaboration'

Rihanna is adamant that she would like to work with Cheryl Cole soon, despite the former X Factor judge's recent US career setback, reports say.

The 'Man Down' singer is allegedly clearing her schedule so she can fly to LA to go into the recording studio with Cole and give her the American welcome she should have received first time around.

"Rihanna called Cheryl and told her she's going to call on all her contacts and they should do their planned duet sooner rather than later," a source told Look magazine."What's more, she reckons Cheryl should face the music and come to stay with her in LA - she's determined to give her the amazing American experience she should have had all along."

Cole recently insisted that she feels better off out of The X Factor and that it was never her ambition to try to crack the US.
