Chris Brown wants Madonna on his next album.

The 19-year-old crooner says the Material Girl would be his dream duet for a track on his upcoming CD “Graffiti,” which is due out next year. He says he’d also love to work with Coldplay.

He’s collaborated with Jordin Sparks, David Banner and girlfriend Rihanna in the past.

Brown predicts that “Graffiti” will be a bigger project for him. Speaking from the red carpet at the American Music Awards, the platinum-selling R&B star said: “It’s going to be my stepping stone from Chris Brown to superstar.”

If he’s not there yet, he’s close. Brown took home trophies at the Sunday awards show for favourite pop-rock and soul-R&B male artist while his gal pal Rihanna won favourite pop-rock and soul-R&B female artist awards.

The celebrity couple have managed to avoid a Mills-McCartney style circus in the courts by agreeing terms on finances and the custody of their children.

A notice of their decree nisi will be published in the Registry of the Family Division in London on Friday and a formal announcement from the couple is also expected.

Madonna will keep all of her L300 million fortune after Ritchie – said to be worth L30 million – said he did not want any of her money.

Legally, he could have been entitled to half of the wealth earned during their seven and a half year marriage, which is estimated to be L120 million, and reportedly rejected a L20million offer.

The biggest concern was the children, with both parents wanting the two boys to live with them.

But the couple will share custody of their sons, eight-year-old Rocco and three-year-old adopted David, who will divide their time between New York with their mother and London with their father.

Madonna’s 12-year-old daughter Lourdes, from a previous relationship, will live in America with her mother.

Under the details hammered out by the couple’s lawyers, it is understood that Ritchie will keep the couple’s 1,200 acre estate in Wiltshire – reputed to be worth L12 million – and the Punchbowl Pub in Mayfair.

Madonna hired Fiona Shackleton, who represented Sir Paul McCartney in his acrimonious split from Heather Mills, while Ritchie took on Lady Helen Ward.

He also hired Stephen Cobb, QC, one of Britain’s top children’s lawyers.

The princess of pop teamed up with the reigning queen last night, as Rihanna hosted an evening of charity and fashion, attended by Madonna.

Celebrating the Gucci Tattoo Heart Collection to benefit UNICEF, the singers, who have both been avid supporters of the charity collaboration, joined Gucci creative director Frida Giannini for a star-studded evening at New York’s Plaza Hotel.

Making her first post-divorce red carpet appearance, the Material Girl looked better than ever, exhibiting a look that was pure old-school Hollywood glamour, with glossy blonde curls and a scarlet pout.

Her style, however, divided opinions, with some arguing that her green-feathered dress was more akin to Astroturf, while others commended the star for her brave fashion choice.

Rihanna, meanwhile, wowed in a floor-length lilac gown, co-ordinating her make-up perfectly with deep violet eyes and pale pink lips.

They were joined by the hottest stars of US TV, including Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively and Penn Badgley, Ugly Betty’s Eric Mabius and Becki Newton, and Entourage’s Adrian Grenier.
