Yep, he’s moved one step closer to working on the Girls Aloud star’s highly anticipated new album.
I can reveal Chezza’s US management have started talks with Scooter Braun, who catapulted Justin, 17, to stardom.

And Justin’s mentor Usher and Cheryl’s manager Will.i.am have, of course, already worked together. So what are they waiting for? I’m told: “Cheryl is beyond excited about her new album and Bieber’s team are deep in talks with her’s to make a hit. They already see Cheryl and Will.i.am as part of the family. Will’s got a vision for her album, and now the biggest and the best names are keen to be part of it.
“Usher and Will got together to make O.M.G – just think what they could do with their proteges.”

While we ARE talking purely about work, Justin’s Chezza lookalike girlfriend Selena Gomez may want to clear her diary during the hook-up. Who can forget all the winking Justin did when he appeared on X Factor last year? And the beeline he made for Cheryl at the Brits earlier this year?

After seeing his latest 3D movie, Cheryl, 28, tweeted: “I know I’m a bit late in the day but I have just watched @justinbieber Never Say Never. It just confirmed everything I always thought.. This kid was born a star!! @scooterbraun I salute you.”
