Oh boy! This is happening, everyone:

Britney Spears' manager Larry Rudolph has finally confirmed the pop star is currently recording a new album.

Spears was rumoured to be hard at work in the recording studio with music producers Jim Beanz and Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins earlier this month.
…
But Rudolph has confirmed Spears "is spending her summer in the recording studio, working on a brand new album."

He adds, "She's working with a team of top-notch producers and songwriters and we're very excited about what she's accomplished so far …"

Wonderful! By the way, did you notice that Mr Rudolph didn't at all mention a team of top-notch mental health professionals or the stability of a loving family? This is what anyone with eyes and a brain calls "a vicious cycle." But hey, look on the bright side: new, mediocre dance music!
