Usher wants Pippa Middleton to model new lingerie line

Pippa Middleton has found herself an unlikely admirer in Usher, who has revealed that he wants the almost-royal and her famous rear to star in his new lingerie campaign.

The OMG singer will release his debut collection later this summer and has said that he is planning to approach Pippa about modelling for the brand in the next few weeks.

"I don't think there's a more beautiful, more stunning, more talked-about woman in the world at the moment," Usher told reporters. "I'm going to be approaching her in the next few weeks and setting up a meeting this summer."

He went on to say that he thinks securing Pippa for the campaign would be a smart business move, adding: "The great thing about her is that she would be a global brand. Everybody knows her now, she would be perfect.

"I am sure everybody is trying to sign her up and she won't be cheap, but she has the looks and the popularity to really establish a new product."

Usher first revealed his plans to launch his own lingerie line in July 2010, after admitting that he was a particular "fan" of items that show off a woman's curves.

It was recently reported that Pippa Middleton enjoyed a stint as a fashion model during her time at Edinburgh University.
