Justin Bieber, Chris Brown collaboration reportedly in the works

At this point, we imagine Justin Bieber is on many-a-songbird's collaboration wish list. So who will the Biebs honor with his presence?

Apparently bully Grammy award nominee, Chris Brown. 

Brown tweeted, "ME and @justinbieber got a BANGER/SMASH record for all the fans out there at the top of the NEW YEAR!!! 2011 #BREEZYTAKEOVER" on Christmas day. 

No word from Team Bieb on the collabo in question, so it looks like we'll have to wait and see what happens early in the new year. 

Despite any personal feelings about the "Yeah 3X" singer, we do think that these two could make a killer combination in the studio -- not to mention on stage. Between their knack for catchy verses and scene-stealing dance moves, they're kind of a match made in heaven. 

Brown has made good with the law, completing a domestic-violence class after pleading guilty to assaulting ex-girlfriend, Rihanna, in 2009. Biebs on the other hand, narrowly escaped assault charges after allegedly punching a 12-year-old in the face at a Laser Tag park. 

It remains to be seen whether the new tune will appear on Brown's album or Bieber's, but either way we suspect that "BANGER/SMASH" was the appropriate terminology.
