The `Rude Boy` singer`s mentor thinks the sexy venture would be perfect for her because she is so well known for her curvaceous body and racy stage outfits.

A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "All the top people think she`s smoking hot. They`re desperate to make her the face and body of a new burlesque club. Jay sees it as a great business opportunity."

Rihanna`s style has already inspired one fellow pop star - her new friend Pixie Lott.

The pair have become inseparable as Pixie supports Rihanna on the European leg of her `Last Girl on Earth` tour, and have been swapping fashion tips backstage some of which Pixie wants to incorporate into her Lipsy fashion range.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "All Pixie and Rihanna talk about backstage is fashion. Pixie loves Rihanna`s style and would love to incorporate it into her designs."

Rihanna is set for a busy year, with a book deal in the pipeline and a new fragrance, Route 22, scheduled to come out in the summer.
