Will Britney Spears Be Featured On Madonna’s ‘MDNA’?
Thu Feb 9 2012 by Idolator Staff
Is Madonna collaborating once again with her "Me Against The Music" pal (and onstage smooch partner) Britney Spears? Possibly! A leaked album sleeve was posted on Brit fan site Breathe Heavy, with the "Criminal" singer featured on opening track, "Girls Gone Wild". That's the same tune included in that recent MDNA megamix, as well as the one Joe Francis' is filing a lawsuit over. Chances are both parties will be able to benefit from the "Girls Gone Wild" phrase if Brit-Brit really does appear on the song. MTV reports that Madge's reps haven't confirmed or denied a new collaboration with Spears, so we'd say there's at least a 50% chance that this is actually happening.

When we recently celebrated the 15th anniversary of the release of Daft Punk's debut album Homework, we got even more antsy than usual for new music from the French duo, who haven't dropped a studio LP in seven years. Happily, we can report that Daft Punk are currently working with producer Nile Rodgers on a new album. "We were just jamming at my house [in New York], but it’s gonna be proper and real," Rodgers told music blog Faster Louder. "They came over to my today around breakfast time and it’s now evening I basically had to almost kick them out. We were having so much fun just in an informal setting that we decided to make it formal. And it’s very formal. It’s gonna be amazing." More »

Wed Feb 8 2012 by Robbie Daw
A week after Don Cornelius was found dead at his Mulholland Drive home, Coroner's officials in Los Angeles have ruled that his death was a suicide, and that the Soul Train creator had shot himself in the head. The agency made the determination after conducting an autopsy on Cornelius' body Friday, reports the Associated Press. Investigators are still awaiting the results of toxicology tests before issuing a final report. Police initially responded to an alert from Cornelius' son, Tony Cornelius, after he received a call from his father on Wednesday, February 1. Authorities were able to rule out foul play after arriving on the scene.
