The rising producer of Kanye West and Jay-Z’s “Ni**as in Paris,” Kendrick Lamar’s “Backseat Freestyle” and other hip-hop hits is reportedly working on Spears’ follow-up to 2011′s “Femme Fatale.” However, Spears’ rep told the magazine that writer Elijah Blake ( Usher’s “Climax”) hasn’t worked with the singer, contrary to an interview in which he was quoted as announcing a collaboration. Joining Spears again will be Will.i.am, who produced “Femme Fatale” track “Big Fat Bass” and enlisted Britney for his own recent single, “Scream and Shout. – Read more at Billboard.com

    WTT was not my choice either but let’s hope that the choice will not carry over to Scotty’s upcoming album.

    Even though I am nervous about the singles which will be released, I’m betting a #1 on this album. New management, bright future.

    I agree that Brian’s tweet likely has zero to do with Adam. He has always worked with other artists, even while working with Adam.  Mostly likely he is playing for Kendrick Lamar on SNL on 1/26. 

  • mmb

    the next live SNL isn’t until 1/19…les mizgate will have been long forgotten by then….but a “Adam Lambert or Adam Levine” a la “Dermot Mulroney or Dylan McDermott” could be pretty funny

  • suenigma

    That would be pretty funny too, but I really think it’s maybe more of a bubble thing – the average SNL watcher wouldn’t get it, I don’t think. But you’re right, the Les Miz thing would be old hat by then, unless Jackman or Crowe were hosting. ;)

  • tripp_ncwy

    Kris Allen @KrisAllen

    Taio Cruz, Jason Derulo, John West, Andy Grammer. Keys 4 Rihanna, Lady
    Gaga, Katy Perry, Cee-Lo, Travie McCoy, B.o.B

    Then he retweeted:
    I Go By Many Names
    ?@igobymanynames

    @brianlondon so the debate raged through SNL w 1 of your singers to playing Viola in Twelfth Night and settled on The Saturdays’ US promo ;)

    Then tweeted:
    Brian London
    ?@brianlondon

    Some of u guys guessed it…ill tell u tomorrow!

    Maybe he’s talking about working with another singer that he’s working with. But whatever it is, we’ll know tomorrow:)

    Great idea!  I laughed more at that “Dermot Mulroney or Dylan McDermott” sketch than I’ve laughed at anything on SNL in a few years.  Plus, I think the general non-music obsessed world would be hard put to distinguish between the Adams.  That would work and be funny. :)

    #We are going to do something special for the #outalivetour. We are going to have a request song each night.

    #The deal is whoever is coming to the show that night and wants to hear a certain song (mine or a cover) tweet the name of that song that day

    #I will choose one each day and me and the band will learn that song that day.

    #Don’t worry we will remind you each tour date of the request song. So have your song ready. #outalivetour

    Awww….

    They said Brian was talking about a UK girl group called ‘Saturday’. This group will be promoted in the US and Brian will work with them while they are in States.
