Avril Lavigne declared in a Web post late last year that her next LP, The Best Damn Thing, would be "fast, fun, young, bratty, aggressive, confident, cocky in a playful way ... all the good stuff."
In case you didn't believe the "fun" part, the singer recently told MTV she had an absolute blast recording the effort.
She didn't labor over songs, didn't write any serious ones — well, OK,
just a few — and made sure to indulge herself throughout the process.

"I'm so serious when I'm working and they were with me and we laughed and we're so goofy."
And Knowles hints at many more reunions, admitting, "I miss them so much."

 Pop singer, Michael Jackson, a near-recluse since being acquitted of child abuse allegations in
2005, is considering offers to perform in the US gambling capital of

Jackson "is currently reviewing and evaluating each proposal," but he
"does not believe that he is under any time constraint for making his
decisions."
The former 'King of Pop' is currently living in the western city of Las
Vegas "because he likes the city," and not "to shop a Vegas show," Bain
