Madonna's new album will be 'amazing', and that's according to one of the world's most in-demand producers.

Timbaland's 'The Way I Are has held on to the number one spot in the UK singles chart for a second week, keeping Kate Nash at two today (August 5).

Now that Celine Dion has abandoned the Vegas strip (and also evidently, threatening to retire) she's turned her attention to making a new album. The gaunt crooner plans to join Fall Out Boy, Nelly Furtado, Missy Elliott, Madonna and Justin Timberlake on the list of artists who've employed the skills of production superman Timbaland.

Duran Duran have named their album Red Carpet Massacre. According to posting on duranduran.com, the band is putting the final touches to the record with producer Nate "Danja" Hills. The band also worked with Timbaland and Justin Timberlake on some tracks.
