Britney Spears is ready for the world to hear her new sound, which a source says will be "more energetic" than the last album.

A person familiar with the project tells X17online exclusively:

"Right after this year's Grammy Awards, Britney met with all of the producers for her next album to explain the vibe she's looking to capture. Brit, who is co-writing many of the songs, explained that she's looking to give the new album a vibe like the song Get Naked from Blackout."

Our source says that the pop princess, who we're told is "not only a hard worker, but an incredible mother," has recruited many of the same producers from her Blackout album like Bloodshy and Avant, Nate "Danja" Hills and Corte Ellis. According to the source, this new album "will be like Blackout times 100!"

X17online has learned that the album was set to be released this summer, but the project may now be pushed back. Our source says that very soon we'll be hearing some new Britney on the radio.

Calls to Jive Records were not immediately returned.

Yesterday we saw Nicole losing some hair, but later in the day she seemed to have gained something else: an entourage of muscle men!

Nicole's hunks escorted her out of the Andy LeCompte salon in West Hollywood.

Her hair didn't seem to have been did, but maybe she was just there discussing styles for her upcoming nuptials!

Nicole is staying pretty mum on the subject of the wedding. She recently told InStyle that “I have not decided on a dress,” in fact, “I haven’t even thought about it!”

We don't know if we believe that, but we're sure whatever she chooses, it will be fabulous!

Yesterday X17online spotted Britney climbing behind the wheel of her Mercedes where boyfriend Jason Trawick was waiting for her in the passenger seat.

Although we spotted Brit smiling earlier in the day, neither looked too thrilled to be in each others' company, especially not Jason, who hung his head!

Does this mean these two are definitely heading for a breakup? Or is it just a bump in the road?

Sandra and Sunny in 2008

Now that Jesse James has admitted to some kind of wrongdoing and Sandra Bullock has reportedly moved out of the house they shared in Huntington Beach, we have to imagine her relationship with her three step children, Chandler, Jesse Jr. and five-year-old Sunny, will become strained.

The two older kids may handle the situation a bit better than little Sunny, who may be impacted the most. Recently, Bullock had been in the process of trying to adopt the little girl, whose mom is porn star Janine Lindemulder.

Sandra and Jesse have been fighting for sole custody of Sunny, accusing Lindemulder of being an unfit mother who falls asleep following drug binges. These are claims that Lindemulder has denied.

Sandra and Sunny have been hanging out a lot together lately which may be an indication as to how close they've become.

Beyonce's new perfume, Heat, is recording stellar sales, with over 3 million bottles moving in just one month.

WWD reports that the outstanding demand for Beyonce's Heat makes it the number one seller at Macy's, where the scent was launched just last month. In addition, the department store sold 72,000 units on the day that B made her in-store appearance.

We always knew Beyonce was hot, but now she's got major Heat!

After dropping daughter Sunny off at school, Jesse James was in such a rush to get out of the public eye that he nearly ran over a paparazzo!

"Jesse gunned the engine as he was driving away and swung his car around so fast he nearly hit a photographer," says an X17online photog on the scene.

Jesse has been under intense scrutiny ever since news that he allegedly had an affair with Michelle "Bombshell" McGee broke.

James issued an apology yesterday saying he himself is "the only one to blame for this whole situation."

Last night, Madonna wined and dined her 23-year-old boyfriend all over New York city!

The couple started off the night taking in a showing of the musical FELA!, based on the life and music of world renowned musician Fela Anikulapo–Kuti.

Afterwards, they hit up restaurant Morimoto for dinner, but whereas most senior citizens would be calling that a night, Madonna didn't stop there.

In a red sparkly minidress and thigh high black boots, Madonna took Jesus to club SL later to dance the night away!

She may be fifty-something, but she's still fabulous!

One day after issuing an apology to wife Sandra Bullock and his family, Jesse James dropped his 5-year-daughter Sunny off at her Huntington Beach school this morning (mom is ex-wife and porn star Janine Lindemulder.)

No doubt Jesse isn't looking incredibly happy in the pictures. Do you blame him?

Although Jesse was looking glum and staying mum this morning, his son, Jesse James, Jr. had a different message for us yesterday:
