Ewwww! Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am confirms to Rolling Stone that he is executive-producing the eighth studio album of Britney Spears!

“After I did a song on ‘Femme Fatale’ — ‘Big Fat Bass’ — and then we did ‘Scream & Shout,’ she really liked the way we worked because of my approach. So they asked me to be involved in, not producing and writing every song, but to be an executive producer on the songs” he says.

Valentine’s Day brings us the premature release of Britney Spears and will.i.am’s remix video for ‘Scream & Shout’. Directed by Ben Mor once again, the star-studded visual features cameos from Diddy, Hit-Boy, Waka Flocka and Lil Wayne.

Britney certainly looked the part in her urban clobber but the most she could serve up was several poses, stiff hip swinging and constant tossing of ponytail. This was catered through a multiplicity of cheap video effects, alongside popping of bottles, exploding cars and scantily clad female dancers. In a nutshell, the video was just complete and utter trash and lacked creativity.

Shortly before the Hit-Boy remix to Britney‘s ‘Scream & Shout’, surfaced online, the hip-hop producer shared some details about the singer’s new album. Speaking to MTV News, Hit-Boy confirms that the music he’s submitting will combine hip-hop and pop elements, resulting in a global sound.

Working with the pop princess is new ground for Hit-Boy. It will really challenge him as a producer and whether he can actually break away from the “hip-hop” mold. This marks the first time they’ve worked together so what transpires from their studio sessions will be very intriguing to say the least. The 31-year-old is also working with Elijah Blake and will.i.am on the upcoming project.

will.i.am drops the official remix to ‘Scream & Shout’, his collaborative single with Ms Britney Spears. The pair are joined by Diddy, Lil Wayne, Waka Flocka Flame and Hit-Boy, who also produced the remix and laced it with a brand new beat.

This remix is so damn ratchet and trash at the same time. Why are there so many people on one track? And Diddy is so 97 that it aint even funny. With the song being complete and utter garbage, it’s not like it could get any worse. I’m here for urban Britney but not this. Hit-Boy had better come correct with her new album because her legacy is being ruined and I truly do blame will.i.am.

In news that we were already aware of, Britney Spears confirms that she won’t be returning to X Factor USA. The singer releases an official statement announcing her X Factor departure: “I’ve made the very difficult decision not to return for another season. I had an incredible time doing the show and I love the other judges and I am so proud of my teens but it’s time for me to get back in the studio. Watching them all do their thing up on that stage every week made me miss performing so much! I can’t wait to get back out there and do what I love most.”

I’m sure the “decision” wasn’t that difficult given the widespread speculation that such decision was made for her a while ago (we’ve all read the ‘sacking’ reports and seen the failed ratings). Now we can have fun reading Twitter bulletins about a desperate Simon trying to save his flailing show with yet another controversial signing. And as for the ‘miss performing’ bit, we WOULD be just as enthusiastic if her performances weren’t such a lethargic mess. I’ve seen my 68-year-old grandmother move with more life in her body. REALLY. But anyway, I’m definitely here for album number 8!

Much to Elijah Blake‘s fury, he found himself in defense mode after the rep for Britney Spears previously denied he’d had any involvement in her upcoming new album. The denial made him look bad because it left fans wondering if he lied about those claims. However, Rihanna‘s songwriter clarified on Twitter that he IS in deed contributing to album #8.

“Reps commenting on album process without even being allowed in the session is always funny to me” he wrote. “Worked yes, experimented yes, but truthfully, you never know what’s on an album till it’s out”.

It has become standard practice for anyone to get shut down by her team for claiming they worked with her, especially if they did so without her consent. Evidently, Darkchild had to find that out the hard way. You learn to keep it zipped. On a positive note, at least they’re ‘experimenting’, so that could only mean they’re cooking up something special!
