Rihanna and Katy Perry to work on collaboration?

Rihanna wants to duet with Katy Perry. ‘Rude Boy’ singer Rihanna has forged a close friendship with Katy, and even organised her bachelorette party in Las Vegas last month, and now wants to work professionally with her too. Rihanna told Entertainment Today: “We want to get in the studio and hopefully make something for an album, who knows - or maybe for her re-release. We want to do something together for sure. In this industry you don’t meet a lot of people that are genuine, but Katy is such a free spirit, she has no edit button. We just clicked. We have similar personalities and a similar sense of humour and from there she just seemed like a really down to earth person.”

Rihanna’s comments come only days after she described Katy’s music as “generic” when promoting her latest album, ‘Loud’. She said: “Every song was tailored to me. I wanted songs that were all Rihanna, songs that nobody else could do. I didn’t want the generic pop record that Ke$ha or Lady Gaga or Katy Perry would do.” Rihanna’s ‘Loud’ is scheduled for release on November 12.

VIDEO: Rihanna Talks VMAs, New Album and Acting Debut

Although Eminem will be performing “Love the Way You Lie” at the Video Music Awards tomorrow, his musical partner won’t be there during the opening number.

Rihanna, who is currently filming Battleship in Hawaii, will be too busy to make the annual event. But from the sounds of it, she doesn’t really care.

“I definitely wish I could be there for Eminem. He’s performing the song we did together. It would have been nice to do it, but he understands. Obviously right now I’m doing something that is a priority to me,” she said about her acting debut. “The VMAs will be there next year. I’ll have a lot more music out by then.”

Speaking of new music, Rihanna promises her upcoming CD will take us “through a really interesting ride.” “The name of the album reflects the attitude,” Rihanna added. “It really grabs your attention.”

Loud hits stores on November 16.
