That’s what OK! magazine is reporting despite the official announcement made by the singer’s manager, Larry Rudolph. The magazine’s sources claim that they learned that Britney Spears’ recent trips to various L.A. recording studios won’t result in a new record. A source close to the singer tells OK mag, “There is no new album. When she [Britney Spears] goes into the studio, it’s therapy for her voice and her mental well being. These producers and songwriters talking about working on a new album with her are just trying to get publicity for themselves.”

What! So is the source saying Larry Rudolph is a liar?? That’s crap knowing that he has been nothing but with good intentions for Britney Spears! The source, however, said that the singer is indeed collaborating with Madonna. Rumors have been rife that the pop star has taped a cameo, in which she’s trapped in an elevator, as part of a video montage for Madonna’s tour. “In a way, it is sadly true to life,” the source spilled to the magazine. “But Britney is showing some real progress with her recovery, and everyone around her is encourage.”

It’s official! The pop princess’ manager Larry Rudolph has just announced that Britney Spears is *really, really* making a new album! The hard-nosed manager said in a statement released by Jive Records that his charge is hard at work on her yet-to-be-titled new album. He said, “Britney Spears is spending her summer in the recording studio, working on a brand new album. She’s working with a team of top-notch producers and songwriters, and we’re very excited about what she’s accomplished so far. No album release date has been confirmed yet.”

A few days ago, Britney Spears filmed a video segment in Hollywood that’s expected to be part of Madonna’s upcoming Sticky & Sweet tour. So I guess everything’s rosy in her life right now huh?? =) Larry Rudolph has also said that, “She’s got people around her that really care about her and are there to point her in the right direction in respect to the things she should be concentrating on – her life. Britney is getting back in touch with Britney. And she’s doing an amazing job at that.”

The pop princess’ comeback album is REALLY under way and according to the producer with whom she is working, its songs are “real aggressive”. Rodney Jerkins, who created hits with TLC (No Scrubs) and Brandy, is collaborating with Britney Spears for the first time in seven years. And he says the new material is “very dance-y, very up-tempo, in the clubs, real aggressive, and catchy…very, very hook-friendly.” He further adds that Britney Spears is a fast worker and that he plans to reinvent her sound for the 2009 release. Oh yeah!!! =)

Mr. Jerkins shared, “It usually takes people a long time to record songs and we just did a song. She walked in at 8:30 and was out by 10:30 — did the whole song — in and out. … I love working with her. I’m just trying to reinvent her and reinvent myself with her project.” They have been working together for four weeks and Mr. Jerkins says that Britney Spears is on a new path to success. “I was very happy to see that she was working on the positive side and she’s moving toward new things now. I think it’s about to be her time again.”

The pop star’s manager Larry Rudolph has confirmed that she will be hitting the streets of London to shoot the promo for her upcoming single “Radar”. Britney Spears is definitely all set to film the video in the British capital next week, and is determined to get her career back on track by taking a director’s role on-set. Yup, our baby is a director in-the-making! Mr. Rudolph tells the New York Post: “The theme is her [Britney Spears] and her girlfriends are going to be looking all around London trying to find a boy who she met in a club. Every time they think they have him, it’s someone else.”

As for the pop star’s director role, Larry says, “She will be behind the camera as much as possible; she wants to make sure it’s exactly right.” In April, the manager told reporters how Britney Spears is gearing up to make a triumphant return to the charts, saying: “She’s in an amazing position for a comeback right now. She could end up being the biggest comeback in history.” Well, the comeback is definitely on-fire right now! Go Brit!

Madonna has spoken out about the troubled pop star, and revealed she works out to the songs in Britney Spears’ new album Blackout. Shucks, the “Material Girl” is sooo nice isn’t she?? Madonna said in an interview with New York radio station Z100 FM, “I actually love Britney Spears’ new album. I usually work out to her record. I do a combination of Pilates and dance aerobics.” For sure, her revelation will increase Blackout’s sales records – especially among exercise enthusiasts =)

Madonna also told the media to stop pestering the mother of two. She said, “They (the media) need to step off. For real, let’s go save her. The singer-actress also said her daughter, Lourdes (11), feels the same way. “She knows Britney Spears, (but) she doesn’t really watch TV or read gossip stuff,” Madonna said. She further added, “I think she sort of gets the drift of what’s going on, and I think she feels very protective of Britney.” Now that’s nice to hear!
