AVRIL TO APPEAR IN "CHEERS" VIDEO?

ABC News Radio seems to think so! They say:

"Rihanna's video for her new single "Cheers" is scheduled to premiere on iTunes at some point in the next few days -- she tweeted that it may delayed because of the earthquake that hit the East Coast on Tuesday. But when it does finally hit, fans may see a familiar face in the clip: Avril LaVigne. A source close to Avril tells ABC News Radio that Avril did film a cameo for the clip -- whether it made the final cut is not certain.

As to why Avril would be in a Rihanna video in the first place, it's because "Cheers" heavily samples Avril's song "I'm With You" -- the female voice singing "yeah-yeah" in the chorus is Avril's. Avril told ABC News Radio last year that she thought it was "awesome" that Rihanna had sampled the track, adding, "She is a really great singer. I think she's really talented and I love all of her songs, and it's really cool."

Stay tuned!
