Madonna set to play Olympics gig?
Madonna is to play a huge concert in London next year to coincide with the 2012 Olympics.
The 53-year-old singer will perform to 60,000 fans in Hyde Park next July when the UK capital will host the prestigious sporting event.
A source close to the ‘Hung Up’ hitmaker – who recently took a break from music to direct new movie ‘W.E’ – told The Sun newspaper: “Madonna is planning a huge comeback and was determined to do it at Hyde Park while the Olympics are on.
“She’s been out of the limelight musically for a while but is ready to jump back into the saddle and thinks there’s no better time to do it than when London hosts the Olympics.”
Earlier this week, it was also revealed Madonna is to perform at next February’s Super Bowl.
In headlining the prestigious sporting event, Madonna is following in the footsteps of stars including the Rolling Stones, Black Eyed Peas, Justin Timberlake and the late Michael Jackson.

Adele: "I'd love to collaborate with Mumford And Sons"
Adele has revealed that she wants to collaborate with Mumford and Sons frontman Marcus Mumford.
The singer said that working alongside the folk star would be the perfect team-up. She told The Sun:
"In terms of singing on a track alongside someone, I'd love to collaborate with Mumford and Sons because Marcus Mumford's voice goes straight through me. It reminds me of the first time that I heard Etta James and how that made me feel."
Adele also said she had a soft spot for Justin Bieber adding that: "If I was 14 or 15 I think I would be well on it. I'd get on it."
The singer has been dogged by illnesses this year with her most recent haemorrhage in her vocal cords forcing her to cancel her US tour earlier this month. She has since drafted in a vocal therapist to help repair her voice.
"My vocal therapist is amazing – she looks like a Brazilian Shirley Bassey – but she's given me all of these new exercises," Adele added.
"Now I have to sing my songs through a straw to get my diaphragm going. I have to do all of these facial movements to get my face going and it makes me look butt ugly because my whole face vibrates. But the worst thing is that I've got this massive thing that looks like a sex toy and I've got to stick it into a bottle of water and blow. It's awful."

Adele Live At The Royal Albert Hall album and DVD to be released
Adele is to release a live album and DVD featuring her performance at the Royal Albert Hall last month.
The entire 90-minute concert at the prestigious venue will feature on the Live at the Royal Albert Hall CD and DVD collection as well as tracks from the singer's two wildly popular albums, renditions of Bonnie Raitt's I Can't Make You Love Me and If It Hadn't Been for Love by the Steeldrivers will be featured.
Behind-the-scenes footage shot throughout the day of the concert on the DVD will make for an extra treat for fans.
The director behind the film is Paul Dugdale, who has worked with acts including Florence and the Machine and The Prodigy in the past.
Adele fans keen to get their hands on the new offering will have to wait until the release date on November 28th, but it can be ordered in advance from the singer's official website.
The DVD and CD combo may go some way to satisfy the unlucky US fans, who missed out on their chance to see the soulful songstress after she cancelled her tour of the States due to illness earlier this month.
On October 4th she wrote on her blog: 'Guys, im heartbroken and worried to tell you that yet again im experiencing problems with my voice. its ridiculous i know! i cant believe it myself.' (sic)

Justin Bieber Enlists Drake, Kanye West for New Album ‘Believe’
Justin Bieber’s love for hip-hop is extending to his next album. The teen sensation has called on two of hip-hop’s biggest stars for Believe, the follow-up to his 2010 album My World 2.0.
In an interview with Capital FM, Bieber announced that Kanye West and Drake are among the contributors to the album, due in early 2012. “I’m working with a lot of cool people. I’m working with Kanye. Drake is gonna work on the album with me and a lot of different artists,” he said.
Kanye expressed interest after collaborating with the pop star on the Raekwon-assisted remix to “Runaway Love,” while Drake has remained close with his fellow Canadian, who remixed his song “Trust Issues.”
Usher’s protégé has also been in the studio with hitmakers including Bangladesh, Kevin Cossom, and Danja. “What I’m creating for him I think is definitely a more mature sound. That’s where he’s headed now,” Danja previously told Rap-Up.com.
On November 1, Bieber will drop his Christmas album Under the Mistletoe featuring Mariah Carey, Usher, Busta Rhymes, Boyz II Men, and Chris Brown, who penned the sexy “Christmas Eve.”
