Lady Gaga is perhaps the busiest monster of them all. Just six months after dropping her chart-topping Born This Way, the Mother Monster is already hard at work on its follow-up.

"I've started writing it and I have the name for it and all the concepts are beginning to flourish and take place," she told MTV News at Jingle Ball in Los Angeles, where she also talked about her Grammy nods and "Marry the Night" video. "I'm excited to put it out, but it's not done yet. So I'll put it out when it's done."

BTW contributor Fernando Garibay recently stopped by the MTV News offices in Santa Monica, California, and shared the vision he has in mind for Gaga's next release.

"I get a little bit of anxiety thinking about that right now," the producer said of plans for the album. "I wanna just always try to outdo ourselves, our songs.

"They're already incredible songs. But I feel like she's so young," he said, adding that the record is in its early stages and that "there's a lot of room to grow."

While Gaga will hit the road on the Born This Way Tour next year, Garibay said that won't halt the recording process. "The last record we made in bus stops and hotel rooms," he said. "Wherever she's at, we'll make it."

However the recording schedule pans out, Garibay knows he and Gaga will continue experimenting with new sounds. "She's the perfect platform for me to express myself," he said. "You can do stuff with her that you can't do with anybody else. It's amazing."

gleejcoDec9 Rapper Pitbull To Join Glee?

The rapper known as Pitbull may be joining Glee.  Typically, I like to start off a news post with a little joke, but I felt like that opening sentence just couldn?t be topped in terms of hilarity.  Apparently, the rapper who nabbed the #1 spot on Billboard?s Hot 100 this summer with his hit ?Give Me Everything,? is in talks to join the worst television show ever.  So now you have another reason to watch.

?Pit is currently in discussions with producers to play Santana Lopez?s older brother on an upcoming episode,? that is slated to air in January, in which Gloria Estefan would play his mom (sigh).  Ricky Martin was originally slated to guest in the episode (oh my God), but has been pushed back to later in the season.  So there?s something to look forward to.

You can currently hear ?Pit? promoting his latest single, ?International Love,? in which he is joined by none other than pop-sensation/domestic assault enthusiast Chris Brown.  Whether or not this will lead to Chris Brown showing up on the set of Glee in a jealous rage and punching half the cast, well, only time will tell.

What do you think of the Glee/ Pitbull news?

Jennifer Garner Is A Bundled Up Beauty

Expectant actress Jennifer Garner was spotted after a trip to a local Williams Sonoma store in Santa Monica, Calif. on Monday (December 12).

It looks like the weather may be getting a tad crisp in California these days judging by Jennifer's recent clothing choice. She looked beautiful as always donning a warm Columbia jacket, animal print scarf and a pair of jeans while she toted a bag and beverage across the street. It also looks like the mama-of-two swapped out her black ballet flats today for a pair of comfy running shoes.

Florence And The Machine, Black Keys Rock Out For Charity

UNIVERSAL CITY, California — As impressive and rockin' as the lineup was for night one of KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas, night two of the Los Angeles-based rock station's popular event was equally action-packed, with the likes of Foster the People, Florence and the Machine, Mumford & Sons, the Black Keys and six other acts who came together under one roof for a one-night-only sold-out concert engagement at Universal's Gibson Amphitheatre on Sunday night.

Native Los Angeles band Grouplove kicked things off with a festive bang, which included the performances of and lots of dancing to their most recognizable and catchy tunes "Colours" and "Tongue Tied," which is featured in the latest Apple commercial. They were followed by New Zealand-based electro-pop group the Naked and Famous, who kept things grooving with a series of smoothly synthesized upbeat tracks, the crowd-pleaser being the popular anthem-esque "Young Blood."

2011 heavy-hitters Foster the People killed it in the #3 slot. They fed off the very enthusiastic reception from the crowd with just as much energy and as many of their Torches chart toppers as they could fit into their half-hour set, which included "Houdini," "Call It What You Want," "Helena Beat" and an extended version of "Pumped Up Kicks."

Following Foster were two relatively new bands: Cage the Elephant and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. Cage delighted the crowd with hits like "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked" and "Aberdeen," as well as several stage dives. Gallagher and his High Flying Birds kept things cool with a few more-mellow tunes that, much to the delight of Oasis fans in attendance, included "Wonderwall" and "Sally."

After their exit, a surge of excitement filled the crowd in anticipation for Florence and the Machine to take the stage. What a difference a year makes: Though Florence played last year's Acoustic Christmas and received a huge welcome from the audience, it was clear Sunday night that her fanbase has increased tenfold. Florence's presence has such a transformative effect on her fans — her movement during the songs, the shy smiles she sends out to the masses and that powerhouse voice all have the power to move people to tears. And they did on songs like "If Only for a Night," "Never Let Me Go" and "No Love, No Light."

Florence was a hard act to follow, that's for sure, but just as the audience's energy swelled with anticipation before Welch's vocals rung out in the air, the excitement levels stayed strong for breakouts Mumford & Sons and the Black Keys.

Mumford rocked out so hard during their opening song that lead singer Marcus busted several strings on his guitar. "For those of you who can count, that was three strings I broke. Three," he told the crowd, pleased with himself. "Yesss!" The spirited folk rockers had the crowd eating out of the palms of their hands with electrifying performances of "Awake My Soul," "White Blank Page," new tune "Ghosts That We Knew," and hits "Little Lion Man" and "The Cave."

Continuing with the hyped-up energy and momentum flowing through the Gibson toward the end of the evening, the Black Keys rocked the house with a perfect mix of old and new. From the familiar "Howlin' for You," "Next Girl" and "Tighten Up" to the brand-new "Milk and Honey," "Sister" and current hit "Lonely Boy," the guys could have converted almost anyone in attendance to the Church of Keys with the way the audience hung on to every word and guitar stroke. We watched a group of three male fans continue to lose their minds after each song.

"This is so sick!" they said. Again and again and again. And frankly, we have to agree. It was sick. Even better? The proceeds from the 22nd annual event will benefit Al Wooten Jr. Heritage Center and Para Los Ninos.
