Beyoncé Will 'Definitely' Release New Music Before Super Bowl, Says The-Dream
After co-writing five songs on Beyonce's 2011 album "4," The-Dream (real name: Terius Nash) tells Billboard that he's "involved in every part of the process" for her forthcoming fifth solo album. When asked whether or not Beyonce will unveil any new tracks prior to Super Bowl kickoff, The-Dream says, "Definitely. She's got her stuff going. She took the summer to start recording, and now she's in a place where she's ready to start gearing up to reveal her plan."
The-Dream adds that the follow-up to "4" is so far along that multiple song releases are possible in the two months prior to Super Bowl Sunday. "She's already gearing up to get ready to put stuff out," he says. "I'm sure there will probably be a couple records you hear before the Super Bowl gets here." http://www.billboard.com/news/beyonc...08037032.story

So this tweet from The Cataracs was spotted not too long ago. While Cryptic, we can see that the individual they are working with is a female and a "big B."
The Cataracs also posted a picture with Sia earlier today.
While it might just be possible that they're just hanging out with Sia, these tweets from Sia's account suggest she's also working with someone huge in NYC, and it's most likely the same "big B" that The Cataracs are working with. In fact, Sia has expressed a desire to work with Beyoncé in the past! http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com...22.html#cutid1

[Ryan Tedder] explains, "Conversations about [Beyonce's] next album literally just started (. . .) All I can say is that [when you work with Beyonce] you feed her the best that you have. She is like this phenomenal filter. She takes it all in and she can identify what the next thing is. She's not interested in 2012, [but in] what's 2013, what's 2014.

Pepsi + Beyoncé = Global NOW.
FOR its campaign with Beyoncé next year, Pepsi doesn’t just want to sign up the telegenic pop star for another TV commercial. It also wants to get into the Beyoncé business.
The campaign will coincide with a blitz of promotion for her next album, which has no title or release date so far but is expected in 2013. Sometime after she performs at the Super Bowl halftime show on Feb. 3 (also sponsored by Pepsi), Beyoncé will appear in a new TV ad — her fifth for the soft drink since 2002 — and her face will be on a limited-edition line of soda cans.
The less conventional aspects of the deal are meant as collaborative projects that indulge Beyoncé’s creative whims, and might well have no explicit connection to Pepsi products. They are still at the brainstorm stage, but could include live events, videos, “a cool photo shoot” or almost anything else, said Lee Anne Callahan-Longo, the general manager of Parkwood Entertainment, Beyoncé’s company. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/10/bu...tion.html?_r=0 http://www.pepsico.com/Article/Pepsi...W12102012.html

Yesterday's most important event: Beyonce joined Instagram
Election, schmelection! History was really made on Nov. 6 when Beyoncé revealed that she had joined Instagram. The countdown to the moment Bey decisively conquers the Internet draws ever closer to zero, people. Of course, in order to achieve true virtual domination, Sasha Fierce’s alter ego might have to send more than four tweets… but hey, one thing at a time. http://popwatch.ew.com/2012/11/07/be...ins-instagram/

Even if she's not going to release this stuff -- it's good to get all your emotions and feelings out while you still remember them...so when you do plan to record stuff to release, you can draw from the music you made as a reminder of the things you went through.
Albums inspired by pregnancies and childbirth are always the best

In an interview with late night talk show host David Letterman, Xtina reveals it was actually her two-year-old son, Max Bratman, that brought on the techno-driven musical styling heard throughout her new album, Bionic.
“He [Max] inspired me to be very playful on this record actually.”
Who better to inspire a song about getting eaten out than your son?
Hopefully this means Beyonce will make a song about condom-less sex.
