Updated – Back to work!

The Queen of Pop is getting ready to get back to work and give the final touches to the promotion for the kick off single from her 11th album.

Madonna and her family have been spending some quality time travelling during this past Xmas holidays – although reporters and paparazzi increasingly chased the Ritchies making their private holiday not so private.

The Ritchies have been spotted boarding a flight today, sparkling reports that their holidays were over and they were leaving Asia today, but later reports suggest they will spend a little more time there. Other unconfirmed reports also hint that Madonna would head to LA once her holidays are over.

As MadonnaTribe readers know from our exclusive reports from the last weeks, Madonna worked on the cover of her upcoming album with Steven Klein and Giovanni Bianco in December. The photoshoot took place in a couple of days span the week before Xmas, with some additional preparation work on the set that took place earlier in the week with no Madonna in sight.

She is also expected to shoot the video for the first single, 4 Minutes To Save The World this month. As M-Tribe exclusively reported in mid-December, the video will be directed by Jonas Akerlund and both Justin Timberlake, with whom Madonna duets in the song, and Timbaland, who co-produced the song together with Justin and also provide his signature voice sounds on the track will appear in it.

Just to wrap up the lates info about the new album, the 13 track CD has been already mastered at Sterling Sound last month.
