Susan Boyle Eyes Duet with Rihanna and with McCartney

That Scottish singing sensation, Susan Boyle, has an eye out for a duet with R&B singer Rihanna. Susan is a big fan of the Umbrella hitmaker, and is anxious to try her R&B talents with the singer. She says, "There are certain types of music that you're good at and certain types that you're not. I mean, would I be good at R&B? I suppose you never know. Maybe I and Rihanna could get together."

Rihanna's not the only music star Boyle is considering for a duet. She previously told Britain's The Sun newspaper her most exciting dream would be to sing a duet with Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney, adding, "If he ever wanted to perform together, I'd have no problem with it. Here I am, baby!"

Susan tells The Sun, "The Beatles are still around now, their records live on. I hope to be in the same caliber one day."

"I know I've got a lot to do yet though. I'd like to meet Paul and perhaps one day get together."

Susan Boyle is buying a new car - and she's even paying for a chauffeur to drive her around, as she can't drive. Although she is living on a meager $450 weekly allowance from her management team, she is planning to use some of her money to buy a new car. However, she has no plans to take to the wheel herself. She tells Britain's The Sun, "Me on the road? Aaaargh no! I'd rather be driven. They'd be saying, "Get her off the road now!"

"A car is purely a necessity - I can't drive and I'm not going on buses. When I go on buses, there are always problems with people going, 'Oh, there's that lass (woman) she used to be on the telly'."
