Selena Gomez is starting to work on a new album, and she hopes to get into the studio by year's end and release a new record in 2013. She told MTV News that the album will be "very different" and that, "I want to go for producers that probably wouldn't want me to do their songs. I just want to knock on their door. I also want to work with fun. I want to work with just different styles of music." However, one thing she won't be doing is singing about her boyfriend, Justin Bieber. "It's not going to be necessarily, 'Here's my tell-all,'" Gomez told E! "It's going to be more of something that people could say, 'It could be that or it could be this or it could that.' At the end of the day I only make my music because I want it be really fun and if I could have people dance to it, relate to it, have a good time, that's all I want."

Keith Richards and Jack White recorded some tracks together back in 2009, and in a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Richards addressed the possibility of those recordings being released one day. "I don't know if [Jack] ever considered that it was actually, like, master cuts," Richards said. "But at the same time if Jack wanted to do it, I'd probably say, 'Yeah.'" He also explained that the Stones will meet up in July to discuss potential plans to record new material to mark their 50th anniversary, and Richards said there's a possibility that White could produce. "We're going to talk about that in July and see," he said. "I mean, I'd love to get some tracks down and see what songs we've got. And that goes along with part of getting the band back together and getting things moving. So I'd love to cut some tracks."
