NICOLE SCHERZINGER - SCHERZINGER DEMANDS KEANE COLLABORATION

Singer NICOLE SCHERZINGER is such a fan of British rockers KEANE, she demanded the band's songwriter TIM RICE-OXLEY pen a track with her. The 29-year-old Pussycat Doll constantly begged the Everybody's Changing hitmaker for a collaboration - until the he finally agreed to step into the studio. She says, "I've always been a fan of Keane and followed them for a long time. So one day I physically put myself in front of Tim and said to him: 'Get in the studio with me or else.' So we found a piano and began to write." The two eventually produced a track called American Girl, which the pop star has set aside for an upcoming project.
