Britney has signed former Destiny’s Child producer Jonathan “JR” Rotem to work on her new album. Rotem revealed…

“It’s definitely Britney, but the next level. With songs like Toxic she was very innovative, and we’re trying to top it. Push it to the next thing.

She’s been a mother and she’ll still be doing that, but she’s very much into her music.

She literally can’t go anywhere without her privacy being invaded. Everybody is trying to get information. So the record we wrote, it addresses the ‘who do you trust’ kind of thing. Not rap rap, but talk rap.”

Here’s an interesting though…

Blender mag asked Federline what he’ll do if his upcoming album fails. “I’ll be at your local strip club, but I’ll be the one dancing,” he replied.

Kevin has been speaking to Newsweek, complaining about the critics putting him down and bragging that his first single, released via his website generated 2 million hits in 8 days.

“‘He hates his children, he treats his wife like dirt, he gets high all day,’ [say critics]. If I was that bad, you think anyone, let alone Britney, would put up with it?”

Talking about the songs Britney had worked on with him he said “I’m not going to put the songs on this album because it’s like, ‘Respect me first; then I’ll show you what I’ve done with my wife.’”

Britney has said she wants to get back to work and re-claim her pop queen crown because she is so tired of the current pop crap being produced.

She told People magazine “I haven’t seen anybody out there who has had a performance where I’m like, ‘That’s f**king awesome.’ It’s been boring.”

“This may sound weird, but I miss travelling. I miss the road… I needed a break. I needed to be hungry again.”

“I used to listen to blues music and all that stuff. I would like to try to have more influences of that sound. Not that I’m going to be like frickin’ Tina Turner, but you never know.”

According to Post Chronicle, Britney is furious at Kevin for downing down an offer from her record label, Jive Records, to promote his debut album.

According to updated figures from the IFPI, Britney has now sold over 85,000,000 albums making her the 55th biggest selling artist ever.

Kevin has recorded a series of new songs with Brit but says that he is only going to release them if his debut album is a success to avoi record labels signing him with the sole intention of getting access to the new material featuring Britney.

Apparently, Brit is going to be doing some of the back-up vocals on Kevin’s debut album. According the the rumour she will be singing but will not be rapping.

In late December last year one of the tracks from Kevin’s debut album was leaked on the internet. He also recently launched his website at KevinFederline.com.
