It's the news we've all been anxiously waiting for!
Justin Timberlake announced on Twitter today that he will be releasing his first album since 2006's FutureSexLoveSounds. "To whom it may concern... I think I'm READY!" he wrote, attached to a link to a video.
In the video, JT arrives at a recording studio and explains his long break from making tunes.
"Someone asked me the other day... 'So are you just done with music? [Music] means more to me than anybody else in the world. I've only done two albums in the past decade. What does the next decade mean to me? I don't want to put anything out that is... something I don't love. You just don't get that every day. You have to wait for it," he muses in the clip.
More details about the album's release are rumored to be revealed on Jan. 14, but a source told Us that the Grammy winner is "almost done" recording.
This development just made every girl in the world's day!

Conan O'Brien is movin' on up!
The talk show host has spent a pretty penny on a massive estate in Pacific Palisades ... but it's not quite ready yet. And get this, he bought the lot next door to extend his property even more. The renovating process has been taking over 5 months, and the home wasn't very old to begin with!
Last June, Conan sold his L.A. mansion for $9.25 million, so we knew he had his sights set on something even more spectacular. Mission accomplished.
After signing a contract for more than $10 million a year to host his talk show on TBS, the red-headed funny man can definitely afford to live in this type of pricey neighborhood.

Â
Emma Stone made an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to chat about her new flick Gangster Squad, and the 24-year-old starlet also dished about working on the new Spider-Man movie opposite beau Andrew Garfield.
Emma revealed that shooting begins in about a week, and Ellen joked, "You worked with, I forget his name, Andrew….Garfield?" Emma replied, "Right, something like that."
Ellen was definitely fishing for a few tidbits about their relationship, and she jokingly asked, "Do you keep in touch? Do you ever call and go, what’s up? Let’s have lunch or something?" Emma's response? "It depends on the day…I usually just mind my own business." Guess some things are best kept private!

Beyonce obviously knows how to keep her man happy.
The 31-year-old songstress, who's gettin' down and dirty in the pages of GQ's February issue is opening up about being a major influence to millions.
Jay-Z's wifey tells the mag: “I now know that, yes, I am powerful. I’m more powerful than my mind can even digest and understand.â€
Beyonce, who will be performing at the Presidential inauguration and at this year's Super Bowl halftime show, added:
"One of the reasons I connect to the Super Bowl is that I approach my shows like an athlete. You know how they sit down and watch whoever they’re going to play and study themselves? That’s how I treat this. I watch my performances, and I wish I could just enjoy them, but I see the light that was late. I see, ‘Oh God, that hair did not work.’ Or ‘I should never do that again.’ I try to perfect myself. I want to grow, and I’m always eager for new information.â€
After seeing the GQcover that was released yesterday, and knowing what kind of images are inside, we have a feeling this issue is going to be selling quite well!

Break out the bubbly and cigars!
Lily Allen recently gave birth to a baby girl named Marnie Rose at a London hospital, her rep confirms. This is the second child for the British singer and her husband Sam Cooper. Their other daughter Ethel Mary was born in November 2011.
The new mom is basking in baby joy, and she shared the good news with her Twitter fans today, writing, "Quite overwhelmed by all the well wishing going on. THANKYOU everybody xxx."
The "Smile" crooner hinted she was close to giving birth earlier this month, tweeting, "Thought I was in labor but I just need to fart." TMI Miss Allen!
It's been a long road to parenthood for the married pair. Allen was four months pregnant with her first child when she miscarried in 2008, and was six months pregnant with her second child when she miscarried again in 2011.
We couldn't be happier she has been blessed with two healthy baby girls after such hardship!
