Ack! Nooooo!

After all, we know how well received 'American Life' was. Esther, step away from the hip hop!

'Madonna's new co-worker

Madonna and Justin Timberlake are hoping to make beautiful music together. Or at least hip music.

The Material Girl and the former Mouseketeer are collaborating on her next album, her spokeswoman confirmed to The Scoop.

Madonna’s latest CD was a dance album, and she wants the next one to have a hip-hop feel, so she’s working with both Timberlake and his producer and friend, Timbaland.

'True indeed,' notes Madonna's rep, Liz Rosenberg. 'She was just in the studio with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland.'
