Great news for fans of Britney Spears who are dying for some new music from the once pop princess, now queen of pop … according to a new report from MTV, Brit‘s next album is really taking shape now that she is working with a new crop of amazing producers. AND GET THIS … we are hearing that Britney‘s new album might be out by the Summer (June, to be exact) … we can only hope. Here are the deets from MTV on Britney‘s new album and a NEW behind-the-scenes photo from Brit‘s Candie’s photoshoot with Terry Richardson:

If Brit-Brit’s too-brief appearance at the Grammys wasn’t enough to whet your “Toxic” appetite, then get ready to chow down on some new music from Spears this June. For all those Circus freaks out there, you’ll be stoked to hear that Britney is re-teaming with K. Briscoe, part of The Outsyders production team, who penned Spears’ comeback hit “Womanizer.” Plus, our pop princess is also hooking back up with Corte Ellis from Soul Diggaz, who previously worked with Britney on the songs “Naked” and “Get Back” off Blackout. Finally, color us flattered that Spears took our advice and decided to collaborate with our fave new French hitmaker DJ David Guetta on new tunes. Ooh, la la! Briscoe, Ellis and Guetta join a heap of producers who have already been tapped for the project—like Danja, Max Martin, Darkchild, Sean Garrett. Guess it’s just a matter of time until we hear whose tracks make the final album cut. Hope we don’t blackout from anticipation!

Dang!! Britney is bringing out all the heavy-hitters … I’m hoping this new album will be more of the Blackout variety rather than the Circus variety. Trust me, I love Circus but Blackout had a much cooler edge … if this new disc is an amalgam of both albums, I’ll just die. And HELLOOOOOO, are we really talking about a June release? Please sweet baby Jebus, this this news be true … I would LOVE a new album to drop in 4 months time :) Ok … be for real … who’s excited?

Yesterday we got to check out some new promo photos from the new Candie’s ad campaign, titled Britney Spears: Through the Lens, and today we get to check out a bunch of behind the scenes photos AND video from the various photoshoot sets. Among the behind the scene photos are the promos that were photographed by Annie Leibovitz, Terry Richardson and Mark Seliger. Here the first batch of campaign photos culled together and some info from the latest press release:

Iconix Brand Group, Inc. unveiled today its spring 2010 marketing campaign for its junior brand, Candie’s®, which is exclusively available at Kohl’s Department Stores and Kohls.com. The campaign entitled, “Britney Spears Through The Lens,” showcases international superstar, Britney Spears, as seen through the lens of three famed photographers, Annie Leibovitz, Mark Seliger and Terry Richardson. Each iconic photographer shot Spears at Paramount Studios in Hollywood late last year. Britney Spears, commented, “Annie, Mark and Terry are three of the biggest photographers in the world, I am honored to be working with them for my Candie’s Only at Kohl’s ads. It was an amazing shoot and I know my fans are going to love the cool images.” The campaign, a series of photographs of Spears as seen through the lens of each master photographer will debut with a four page insert in the April issue of Seventeen Magazine as well as online at candies.com and Kohls.com. Each photographer has their own unique and trademark style. Annie Leibovitz’s photograph features Spears against an industrial backdrop, Terry Richardson photographed Spears on a plain white set with colorful props, while Mark Seliger created elaborate sets. Seliger’s first set was a French burlesque inspired pink dressing room and the second was a custom designed pink Harley-Davidson motorcycle against a perfect blue sky and green grass background. “This is the most exciting shoot we have ever produced for Candie’s. We have three master photographers; Annie Leibovitz, Mark Seliger and Terry Richardson shooting the biggest pop star in the world, each in their own iconic style,” stated Dari Marder, chief marketing officer, Iconix Brand Group. Julie Gardner, Kohl’s executive vice president and chief marketing officer, stated, “The new Candie’s spring advertising campaign is innovative, authentic and provides a unique brand expression in the marketplace. We are confident this will resonate with our junior shoppers who trust Candie’s to provide style and value.” The “Britney Spears Through The Lens,” campaign will be seen in fashion magazines, outdoor billboards, in-store, circulars, online and direct mail. The Candie’s Only at Kohl’s marketing campaign was created by the Iconix in-house marketing team in partnership with Annie Leibovitz who is famous for her celebrity portraits, Mark Seliger who is recognized for infusing music and fashion in his photography and Terry Richardson who is known for his ability to capture the true essence of his subjects.

When taken as a whole, this campaign looks very strong, very solid. These photographers do amazing work all on their own … in combination, they’ve come up with a campaign that should really do well for Candie’s. Our dear Britney looks FANTASTIC!! After the jump, check out a few behind the scenes photos from the various photoshoots and check out some fun behind the scenes video as well …

Jared Leto, who has been sportin’ a mound of big sexy hair lately, went and did the unthinkable yesterday … he went and got a haircut:

Folks, he didn’t just get a haircut … he shaved off all of his hair! Photographer Terry Richardson, who is one of the photographers who shot Britney Spears for the new Candie’s ad campaign, is the one who shaved Jared‘s head for him. Check out the haircut in progress after the jump …

Last month we learned that Britney Spears had re-signed with Candie’s to be their celebrity spokemodel for another year and earlier this month we got our first look at the first promo photo that went on display at Kohl’s discount department store featuring the 2010 campaign (photographed by Annie Leibovitz). Today we get to see a few more photos, newly released, from the Candie’s Spring/Summer 2010 ad campaign … featuring our dear Britney:

As you can see, this photo is the full-size version of the first photo released last month. I think it looks much better in this full-size incarnation, don’t you? We also learn today that Leibovitz is not the only photographer employed to shoot the new Candie’s campaign. After the jump, check out a few more promo photos including one photographed by famed fashion photographers Terry Richardson and Mark Seliger …

At the risk that it might be too early in the day for nekkid penis, I feel incumbent to share a completely NSFW image (courtesy of Made In Brazil) from the Tom Ford Spring ad campaign that was shot by photographer Terry Richardson and features the fully frontally nude Brazilian model Alex Schultz:

Much like the Abercrombie & Fitch philosophy that one can sell more clothing by featuring hot, nekkid models in your ad campaigns, Tom Ford seems pretty confident that a lack of clothing on the right person might inspire shoppers to buy his designs. Eh, who am I to judge? After the jump, check out the TOTALLY NSFW uncensored image above …
