But we won't be hearing it until next year!

Tricky Stewart, the mastermind behind Rihanna's Umbrella and Beyonce's Single Ladies, is working with Christina Aguilera on her upcoming album.

He says:

"It's just great. I wouldn't say that it's alternative, I wouldn't say that it's different. Christina's always been an artist that moves the bar and that's what the great ones do. They don't stay in the same place for too long and this album is just another move for her. I really feel it's one of her best bodies of work that I've heard since Stripped."

Aguilera also collaborated with different artists on the album including M.I.A., Santigold, Sia, Le Tigre, Ladytron and Flo Rida.

Sounds like it's going to be good, but the pop star is concentrating on her movie career at the moment, working on Burleseque with the legendary Cher.

Tricky says:

"She's gonna do the film first. She didn't want to not be able to promote this record because it's going to be a big record for her. The album is finished. She's mixing. She hasn't made a final decision about what the first single is, but I know everyone feels good about their options."

Well that's exciting!

Are U looking forward to hearing Xtina's newest track?

M.I.A. is pissed!

Maya is scheduled to perform at the Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival, taking place in San Francisco on August 30th, but only booked the show because she thought the Beastie Boys would be performing!

Well, the Beasties have cancelled all tour dates due to MCA's cancer recovery, so Jack Black stepped up to the plate and he and Kyle Gass will be taking the Beasties' place at the festival with a Tenacious D performance.

And boy, M.I.A. is not happy with the lineup change!

Writes the performer on her official Twitter:

I ORIGINALLY BOOKED ON SHOWS COZ BEASTIES WERE HEADLINERS , BUT NOW THEY AINT DOING IT AND I JUS WANNA SAY , WE HAVE TO GO HARD!!!

CANT BELIEVE THEY REPLACED BEASTIES WITH TENACIOUS D ??????????????????????AND IF I PULL OUT THEY SUE! SO REALLY? TENACIOUS D AFTER ME ?

SO ME AND JACK BLACK ARE BACK TO BACK, BEASTIES GET WELL SOON!

YOUR ALL WELCOME ON STAGE FROM THE GET GO, FUCK IT! IM TAKIN BIRD FLU OUT OF THE SET ! JUS TO MAKE A POINT!

Yikes.

Not in a cross-dressing kind of way!!!

M.I.A.'s baby boy, Ikhyd, looks adorable in an outfit similar to the dress the singer wore while performing at the Grammys in February.

He's already 5 months and so cute!

We're trying not to sound like a Grandpa, but they grow up so fast!

Last night, the talented M.I.A. and her fiance attended Time's 100 Most Influential People in the World Gala at Lincoln Centre in New York City.

And it's hard to believe that she gave birth to her baby boy, Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman, just two months ago - cuz she is definitely looking HOT!

Check out those legs!

Wonder if she's getting in shape for an upcoming wedding?

M.I.A.'s little son, Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman, is already a jet-setter!

M.I.A., her fiance, Benjamin Bronfman, and baby Ikhyd were all spotted arriving at Los Angeles airport last night.

And, we got to say, Ikhyd's name might sound like Ickit, but her baby is nothing short of adorable!

The always eccentric Bjork was spotted in New York City shopping up a storm this past weekend.

Unfortunately, she was doing so without the help of a stylist. Clearly!

The singer, not a fan of the paparazzi, must not have noticed she was being hosed by the photogs.

Maybe those sunglasses blocked her vision somewhat?

Only Bjork would go out dressed like that!

Well, maybe M.I.A. would sport it too.

What do U think of Bjork's outfit?

And what about those sunglasses?

As we mentioned last week, Amy Winehouse will not be performing at this year's Coachella music festival. The reason? Not surprisingly, she's been denied a work visa due to all her legal troubles.

However, we do have some good news about Amy's replacement!

M.I.A. has been booked for the second night of Coachella and will take the stage on April 18th.

That's pretty surprising considering she just gave birth last month. But there's no stopping a real musician.

Thankfully she didn't retire, like she had mentioned last year!

M.I.A. and fiance Benjamin Brewer's baby's name has been discovered!

So what's the true name of the baby formally known as Ickitt?

Ikhyd!

Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman, to be exact.

Although the pronunciation is similar, we much rather prefer Ikhyd to Ickitt!

What do U think of M.I.A.'s unusual choice in name???

Contrary to a report from Latina magazine, M.I.A. did not name her baby Ickitt.

Sigh of relief.

The singer just posted the following message on her official blog:

BABY NAME!

I DIDNT RELEASE THE BABY NAME BECAUSE I DIDNT THINK IT WAS NEWS!!!!

BUT I WILL BE BACK WITH SOMETHING NEWS WORTHY SOON , TILL THEN GO PICK ON APPLE, SATCHEL AND MOON UNIT.

LOTS OF LOVE STICKIT!!
