Miranda Kerr is planning to release an Elvis Presley cover.
The 30-year-old model has teamed up with Jersey Boys' Bobby Fox and recorded their version of the late singer's 'You're the Boss', which featured in the 1964 movie 'Viva Las Vegas'.
However, the brunette beauty - who also wants to try her hand at acting - insists she's not planning a career change and only set up the collaboration for "a bit of fun".
She took to Twitter yesterday (23.02.14), writing: "I usually just sing in the shower but @thedancingfox convinced me to record a duet with him, not a career change, just a bit of fun! (sic)".
Miranda - who has three-year-old son Flynn with estranged husband Orlando Bloom - was persuaded to do a duet with Bobby - who is based in Australia - for his debut album.
The 31-year-old singer flew to New Zealand, where Miranda was working on a shoot, and they recorded the song in one night.
A spokesperson for Bobby told the MailOnline: "Miranda was amazing to work with.
"She didn't take herself too seriously - she just got into character and had a ball recording it."
'You're The Boss' is set to be released on iTunes on March 14.

Victoria Beckham won't design the kits for husband David's new soccer team.
The sportsman is launching a Major League Soccer (MLS) side in Miami, and is reportedly in negotiations with his long-term sponsor Adidas - who he is global ambassador for - to come up with the logos, strips and accessories, rather than giving the job to his fashion designer wife, much to the astonishment of his investors.
A source said: "Victoria won't get the job even though she is one of the world's leading designers. It has surprised many in Miami and among his investors that he would not ask his wife to design the uniforms. Not only would it be the most stylish kit ever, but it would help sales.
"Becks has been having talks with Adidas about them providing a kit deal. They are keen to work with him, as they have had such huge success over the past two decades."
Though David insists he hasn't yet chosen his team colours or style, it is claimed he is planning a "vintage Manchester United"-type kit, and will still ask Victoria - with who he has children Brooklyn, 14, Romeo 11, Cruz, eight, and Harper, two - for "input" on the designs.
The source added to the New York Daily News newspaper's Confidenti@l column: "Knowing David, he will show Victoria and ask for her input, but they will not be partners on this project.
"Victoria is focusing on expanding her fashion ranges in New York."

Alec Baldwin is ready to leave New York.
The '30 Rock' actor is beginning to "crave" Los Angeles after over 30 years in the Big Apple because he thinks he would be able to give wife Hilaria and their six-month-old daughter Carmen a more peaceful and private life.
He said: "To be a New Yorker meant you gave everybody five feet. You gave everybody their privacy. And now we don't leave each other alone. Now we live in a digital arena, like some Roman Colosseum, with our thumbs up or thumbs down...
"I probably have to move out of New York. I just can't live in New York anymore. Everything I hated about LA I'm beginning to crave. LA is a place where you live behind a gate, you get in a car, your interaction with the public is minimal. I used to hate that. But New York has changed.
"I want my newest child to have as normal and decent a life as I can provide. New York doesn't seem the place for that anymore."
Last year saw Alec's MSNBC talk show axed following allegations he had used homophobic slurs, while his Broadway run in 'Orphans' ended early and experienced a cast change before opening following his tensions with co-star Shia LaBeouf.
Though the 55-year-old actor - who also has 18-year-old daughter Ireland with ex-wife Kim Basinger - had a "great" 2013 because of the birth of his youngest child, he admits professionally, things were "pretty awful".
In a lengthy essay for New York magazine, he wrote: "I've read where a number of people have felt that 2013 was a s***ty year. For me, it was actually a great year, because my wife and I had a baby. But, yeah, everything else was pretty awful. And I find myself bitter, defensive, and more misanthropic than I care to admit.
"And I'm trying to understand what happened, how an altercation on the street, in which I was accused -- wrongly -- of using a gay slur, could have cascaded like this. There's been a shift in my life. And it's caused me to step back and say, 'This is happening for a reason.' "

Emma Thompson offered "freshly baked meat pies" to the cast of 'Heathers: The Musical'.
The 54-year-old actress is currently rehearsing for the New York Philharmonic's upcoming production of 'Sweeney Todd' and couldn't resist calling in on the stars of the off-Broadway show in character as Mrs. Lovett, the neighbour of the 'demon barber', who helps dispose of his victims by baking them into pies.
A source at the rehearsal studio where both productions are preparing told the New York Post newspaper: "Thompson has been rehearsing upstairs. And she paid a surprise visit on Thursday to the cast of 'Heathers' to welcome them with some 'freshly baked meat pies' in her full Mrs. Lovett costume."
According to the insider, Emma curtsied and said in a cockney accent: "I've brung you some pies . . . I don't think you know anyone that's in 'em. But you never know!" And, "I thank you with all my heart -- not my hips -- but my heart."
The 'Sense and Sensibility' actress then broke character to praise the 'Heathers' cast.
She told them: "We hear you warbling in the most wonderful ways."
'Sweeney Todd' opens on March 5 at Avery Fisher Hall, while 'Heathers' - based on Winona Ryder and Christian Slater's 1988 movie - debuts March 15 at New World Stages.

Kylie Minogue admits Michael Hutchence opened her "eyes to the world".
The 45-year-old singer dated the 'Never Tear Us Apart' hitmaker for two years from 1989 until 1991 when he left her to embark on a romance with Helena Christensen, and the blonde beauty insists her former lover is responsible for so many of her life experiences.
She said: "Let's just say I was 21 and my eyes were open to the world.
"You want to experience everything and I couldn't think of a better person to, you know, take those first steps into the big wide world with."
The former couple remained close friends until the INXS frontman committed suicide at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Sydney, Australia, in 1997 while under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
Kylie explained to Australia's GQ magazine: "I remember thinking that at the time, that of course his was the first funeral and the first kind of thing like that because Michael was just so many firsts in my life ... He was. Yes, he was."
After Michael's romance with Helena, he went on to date Paula Yates and fathered Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof - who is known as Tiger Lily - in 1996, but she was raised by Bob Geldof following Paula's death in 2000.
However, Michael's INXS' bandmate Kirk Pengilly claims he had "planned to leave" Paula - who he started dating in 1995 following the breakdown of her marriage to Bob - before his death and the group don't think the rocker would approve of his little girl being raised by her half-sisters' father.
Speaking to Australia's Channel 7, guitarist Tim Farris added: "Michael hated Bob in the end so much, to think that he would end up as the sole parent of Tiger Lily would have been the most horrific thing he could have imagined. But luckily for Tiger she had Bob at the end."

Mike Tyson has cancelled his UK tour.
The former heavyweight boxing champion - who was convicted of rape in 1992 and served three years of his six-year sentence - has been forced to scrap his 'Undisputed Truth' gigs next month due to a change in the UK's immigration law which means he is no longer allowed into the country.
Mike said: "With great disappoint I have to cancel the UK portion of my European tour. Because of new immigration laws, my status for entry is no longer eligible.
"However, I have taken every possible step within the parameters of UK law to regain entry. I am truly grateful for my UK fans and have always considered this country my second home so it is disheartening that I am no longer granted entry.
"I hope at some point I will be allowed entry back into the country that has afforded me so many cherished memories. In the mean time, I send my sincerest apologies to my fans that purchased tickets and have been inconvenienced by this due process.
"Please understand this is all out of my control. I was looking forward to performing and meeting you all. I hope in the near future I am still given the opportunity to do so."
A full refund will be available from the point of purchase.
The 47-year-old star also had to cancel his book tour last year after he was banned from entering the country due to his criminal record.
Mike was expected to fly into London in December to promote his autobiography 'Undisputed Truth', but he took a detour to Paris, France, after being refused access to the UK.

The cancelled UK tour dates are as follows:
March 21 - Hammersmith Eventim Apollo, London
March 22 - Hammersmith Eventim Apollo, London
March 23 - Hammersmith Eventim Apollo, London
March 25 - Clyde Auditorium - Glasgow
March 26 - Manchester O2 Apollo - Manchester

Simon Cowell has hired a dog expert to help his pets adjust to his baby son.
The music mogul and girlfriend Lauren Silverman had doted on puppies Squiddly and Diddly since welcoming them into their home in October, so the 'X Factor' boss didn't want them to feel snubbed following the arrival of baby Eric earlier this month and enlisted the services of Edward Alava to ensure they weren't upset by the infant.
A source said: "Edward advised Simon on how to familiarise the dogs to Eric, telling Simon to put one of Eric's blankets in the pup's basket so they could get used to the newborn's smell."
Eric was also asked to take care of the Yorkshire terriers in the days following Eric's birth and he bought some special gifts to keep the dogs comfortable when they went walking outside in New York.
The source added to the New York Post newspaper: "Edward would come to Simon's hotel, the St. Regis, to care for his two dogs and would walk them three times a day. Because of the snowy weather, Edward brought cashmere sweaters for the dogs and leather snow boots."
The dogs won't have been worried about the weather this weekend, as they were seen with Simon, Lauren and Eric enjoying a break in Miami, Florida.

CNN have axed 'Piers Morgan Live'.
The news network have confirmed the nightly show - which was previously known as 'Piers Morgan Tonight' - is coming to an end after over three years, though the exact date of the final programme is yet to be determined.
The British presenter told the New York Times newspaper he and CNN president Jeff Zucker had discussed the future of the programme last week and decided to cancel it following "painful" ratings, which he believes is due to a failure to "connect" with American people.
He said:"It's been a painful period and lately we have taken a bath in the ratings.
"Look, I am a British guy debating American cultural issues, including guns, which has been very polarising, and there is no doubt that there are many in the audience who are tired of me banging on about it. That's run its course and Jeff and I have been talking for some time about different ways of using me."
The former 'America's Got Talent' judge is hoping to stay with the network in a show that is "better suited" to his skills.
He added: "I think I can credibly do news and the ratings reflect that, but it is not really the show that I set out to do. There are all kinds of people who can do news here.
"I'd like to do work - interviews with big celebrities and powerful people - that is better suited to what I do well and fit with what Jeff is trying to do with the network."
Piers, 48, began hosting 'Piers Morgan Tonight' in January 2011, with the show changing its name in March 2013.
A replacement for his 9pm weeknightly slot has yet to be announced.

Sir Paul McCartney is learning to ski.
The Beatles legend has been taking to the slopes every day with a personal instructor during his winter break in the French Alps in a bid to master the art of snowy activity.
However, while the 71-year-old singer has been making his way down the slopes, his wife Nancy Shevell, 53, has been keeping away from the icy conditions by staying in their private lodge.
The skiing trip couldn't have come at a better time for Sir Paul, who has been busy in the US for the past month making a special TV show 'The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to The Beatles' to commemorate 50 years since the group first appeared on American television.
During the show, Paul and his bandmate Ringo Starr paid tribute to late Beatles, John Lennon - who was shot and killed in New York in 1980 - and George Harrison, who died of lung cancer in 2001.
Drummer Ringo 73, told the audience during the programme: "We were in a band called The Beatles and whenever we play George and John are always with us."
The show aired on CBS on February 9 and featured performances from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Keith Urban, Katy Perry, John Mayer and Alicia Keys.
Paul's ex-wife, Heather Mills, is a paralympic skiier but was forced to pull out of the 2014 games because of an injury she suffered to her leg, which she later blamed on the equipment she was required to use by governing body IPC.
