If Usher has his way, absolutely.

The R&B star made no bones about the fact that he wants the derriere ogled round the globe—that of Pippa Middleton—to serve as the face (and, obviously, body) of his new lingerie line.

So what does Kate Middleton's little sis have to say about the offer?

Well, nothing yet. Because technically, no offer has yet been made. Though Usher is certainly testing the waters, apparently laboring under the assumption that flattery will get you everywhere with P. Middy (and yes, the British tabloids actually call her that).

"I don't think there's a more beautiful, more stunning, more talked-about woman in the world at the moment," Usher gushed to Look magazine.

Um, Usher, meet Kate. Kate, Usher.

"I'm going to be approaching her in the next few weeks and setting up a meeting this summer," he said.

"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."

Uh-oh. Sounds like Prince Harry's got some competition!

Still, while we doubt anything will come of this meeting (one would almost certainly not be amused by the idea of the sister-in-law of the future king getting photographed in her underwear), it sure will be fun watching Usher try his hand at royal courtship.

But he'd better hurry. His as yet unnamed lingerie line is expected to debut this summer.
