Jesse McCartney eyes up Leona duet

Singer-songwriter Jesse McCartney has revealed that he wants to duet with Leona Lewis.

McCartney, who co-wrote the singer's number one smash 'Bleeding Love', told DS that he's already pursuing the X Factor star.

"I've tried to get my people talking to her people because I'd love to do something with her as a duet. I think we could do something pretty fresh," he said.

"People have seen the ballad side of her and they know that she can sing, so I think she needs something a little more rhythmic and fun now."

McCartney also revealed that he's working on material for other female pop singers, saying: "I'm hoping to write stuff for some of the divas actually. I'd love to write for Mariah, but we'll see how it goes."
