Jay-Z to help Cheryl
Nov 17, 2009, 9:38 GMT
Jay-Z wants to launch Cheryl Cole's pop career in America.
The hip-hop star - married to singer Beyonce Knowles - is in talks to work with the Girls Aloud beauty who last month launched her solo career.
Cheryl - whose debut album '3 Words' entered the UK album chart at number one - has told pals having Jay-Z as her new mentor is "beyond her wildest dreams".
A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Cheryl is the biggest fan of Jay-Z and Beyonce. To hear the feeling is mutual has totally made her year.
"She never imagined her album would have taken off like this. To get Jay-Z's support is beyond her wildest dreams."
The collaboration has arisen after Cheryl met Beyonce on last year's series of UK TV talent show 'The X Factor', on which Cheryl is a judge.
The 'Sweet dreams' singer teamed up with Cheryl's contestant Alexandra Burke for a show-stopping duet.
After the programme, the two pop stars hit it off as they hung out in the dressing rooms together.
But at the time, Cheryl was convinced she had acted like a crazed fan when she met her idol.
She said: "I turned into a fool when I saw Beyonce, I couldn't speak to her. I really embarrassed myself."
