EDIT: Brit and Scoop? Definitely a dream team, but it's not gonna happen. Just an April Fools joke...;-D
Britney Spears shocked the press today with an announcement that her next album will be released next month already. According to the singer the new music will be a total oppisite to her songs on just released album "Femme Fatale":
I just wanted to be more underground, you know, so I just thought, well, fuck it, do it one more time, new producer and all. That's why I called Scoop, cause I've heard he's the best when you wanna do something like, uhm, underground hip hop, and he is. We're already working on some new shit. You're gonna see a different Birtney! There'll be lots of collaborations with some great underground rappers, like...uhm... like, well, I don't remember their names, but they are really cool and underground....

Countries which continue to use the death penalty are being left increasingly isolated following a decade of progress towards abolition, Amnesty International has said today in its new report Death Sentences and Executions in 2010.
