Leona Lewis to hit the studio with Robbie Williams AND Kings of Leon
Leona Lewis' star just keeps on rising: she's recorded the theme song for the biggest film of the year, Avatar, and now the X Factor winner has lined up not one, but two A-list duets - Robbie Williams and The Kings of Leon.
Off the back of the huge success of James Cameron's flick, Lewis is reportedly set to re-release her hit album Echo, with some serious celebrity guest stars.
She's hitting the studio with Williams next week, The Mirror reports. A source told the paper, 'She loves Robbie and thinks he's a real laugh - and the love-in is mutual. They're just going to go in the studio and see what comes out.'
And if the sessions are a success, there's a chance we could see the pop superstars teaming up on stage next year, much to the delight of a certain Simon Cowell.
Referring to rumours that the X Factor mogul is hoping to recruit Williams as a fifth judge, the source added: 'Simon is really keen on the idea and hopes it will help Robbie come on board with the X Factor.'
And as if one chart-busting duet wasn't enough, Lewis also approached Kings of Leon herself, in the hope of teaming up.
