Cole to collaborate with Scherzinger??
 

Cheryl Cole is reportedly trying to team up with Nicole Scherzinger for a new track.

The Girls Aloud star is believed to be in talks to collaborate with the Pussycat Dolls singer in a bid to break the US.

"Nicole's manager wants to look after Cheryl's American campaign," a record label source told the Daily Star. "He knows anyone who has the backing of will.i.am and Simon Cowell will be huge and they want in on it.

"She's moving away from R&B to a sound very similar to Cheryl's, so it makes sense for them to record together."

The insider also claimed that Cole is receiving high praise from Derek Hough, Scherzinger's partner on Dancing With The Stars who is rumoured to have gone on a date with the singer after she flew to Los Angeles in the wake of her split with husband Ashley.

"Derek is constantly raving about Cheryl to Nicole and vice-versa. It's early days yet but it would make sense," the source added. "Nicole's involvement would guarantee a big hit in America, while Cheryl's would guarantee a smash hit back here."
