Black Eyed Peas To Play NYE Gig For Chelsea's Roman AbramovichBlack Eyed Peas will perform a special New Year’s Eve gig for Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich, it’s been reported.

Abramovich is set to fly the US group out to his 70-acre Caribbean property in St Barts.

The Russian, who is said to be close with singer Will.i.am, is also providing lavish food and drink for guests, reports The Sun.

Meanwhile, before Christmas, Will.i.am revealed that he was considering launching his own social-networking site to rival Facebook.

He was also reported to have offered X Factor contestant Cher Lloyd a recording contract.
