Shakira wants to sing with vampire star

SHAKIRA has said she would like to do a duet with actor Robert Pattinson.

The Colombian singer said she fell in love with his vampire flick Twilight after bosses at her record label introduced her to the film, the first in the series based on Stephanie Meyer's best-selling books.

They told her there were many similarities between the film and her upcoming album, She Wolf.

Speaking to MTV.com, she said: "The president of my label said, 'Have you checked out Twilight? It's about wolves and vampires and things.' And I'm like, 'Ah, that's up my alley. I mean, where is it?' And I watched it and loved it."

She said she would love to collaborate with Pattinson, who played piano and recorded vocals for two songs on the Twilight soundtrack.

She added: "I've heard he's a great singer and a great musician. If those rumours are true - yeah, of course, why not?"
