Chris Brown lines up Rihanna collaboration

Chris Brown has penned a number of songs that he hopes to record with rumoured girlfriend Rihanna.

The R&B star is keen to team up with Rihanna on the follow-up to her 2007 album Good Girl Gone Bad.

"I actually have a couple of songs written already that would be dope collaborations between me and her," he told Billboard.

"And I'm writing for her new album now."

Brown, who won three gongs at this year's American Music Awards, was recently named Billboard's Artist of the Year for the second time.
