Britney Spears revealed she has begun working on a new album planned for release this summer. Dropping by unannounced at a Los Angeles radio station, the 23-year-old pop diva brought along rough mixes of her new song Mona Lisa. The tune is expected to be the first single from the album, which Britney Spears has named The Original Doll.

"It has definitely the raw thing going on," said Britney, "I recorded Mona Lisa when I was on tour, right before I hurt my knee. It is going to get better; this is really a rough mix."

Britney Spears also demonstrated her talent behind the camera when she co-directed the promo video for her song Do Something. The tireless star revealed she's been writing a musical, which Britney also hopes to direct. The work, entitled Hollywood, takes aim at the Tinseltown scene and pokes fun at it from the perspective of an insider.
