WEST TEAMS ESTELLE WITH HIS PROTEGE

Hip-hop star KANYE WEST is determined to see his protege MR HUDSON top the charts - he has paired the singer with ESTELLE for a new duet.
West joined the singer on her hit record American Boy, which won her three Grammy Awards at this year's (09) ceremony.
And the rapper is determined to repeat the success with the newcomer, who he has signed to his G.O.O.D. label.
West is producing Mr Hudson's second album, Straight No Chaser, and has teamed him up with pal Estelle to give him a good shot at chart stardom.
And Mr Hudson is delighted that the Gold Digger hitmaker is going to so much trouble to help him out.
He says, "We are doing a duet (with Estelle) and it's amazing. I'm also helping to write and produce some of the tracks. I'd like to work with Mariah Carey next."
