Britney Spears is working on a new album and has reportedly been in the studio laying down some tracks. According to UsMagazine.com, she's teaming with vocal producer and co-writer Jim Beanz, who has collaborated with Timbaland and linked up with Spears on her last album, Blackout. Things seem to be going well for the troubled pop star. Beanz said, "Everyone has personal stuff, but a true professional doesn't bring it into the studio. Britney is amazing."

Meanwhile, Spears has been in Louisiana, spending time with her younger sister, Jamie Lynn, who just had a baby.

Spears recently shot a video for her next single, "Radar," which finds her looking for a guy she met at a club.

As of now, Spears' father is still in charge of her legal affairs, but the issue is scheduled to be reviewed in a Los Angeles court on July 31st.
