Beyonce and Jay-Z Pick Up Rihanna for Trio

The powerhouse R&B duo of Jay-Z and Beyonce is about to get a boost of star power. That’s right, the happy couple has invited a third party to join forces with them to dominate the airwaves. And that third party is none other than singer Rihanna.

"We're not sure yet whether it'll be a new track or a (remix) of one from (Rihanna's new album) Good Girl Gone Bad," leaked a label rep.

And the buzz is abounding for the collaboration. "Everyone's pretty excited about the collabo ... (Jay Z's) a genius for pulling this off."

This arrangement may come as a surprise in light of recent events. Last year Rihanna made headlines when she was rumored to have had an affair with the Def Jam president. Since then, she and Beyonce have reportedly been at odds with each other.

But it appears that everything is all good. We will look forward to the creative juices flowing from this musical threesome.
