Lady Gaga might have recently tweeted that she's basically wrapped up production on her May album, Born This Way, but the singer shared that there's still work to do on her piano ballad "You and I," which it seems has made the final cut.

"I can't tell you who yet, but someone legendary is producing this next song," Gaga told the crowd at her tour stop in Anaheim, California, on Thursday night, an eyewitness confirms to MTV News. "I'm so excited." The singer added that she "can't wait" for fans to hear the May 23 release.

Whoever the person is she hooks up with, they will be joining previously announced producers RedOne, Fernando Garibay and DJ White Shadow, who all have contributed tracks to the highly anticipated release.

With the album's first single, "Born This Way," still burning up the charts, fans have been hungry to know more about the album's next single, "Judas." With some lyrics already floating around the Internet, it's only a matter of time before Gaga and her creative director, Laurieann Gibson, get to work on the video for the track.

"It's no surprise, I'm sure, to many of you, that Judas is a man of the biblical senses, so expect to see some symbolism in this video," Gaga explained. "You have to look into what is haunting you, and you need to look into forgiving yourself in order to move on. And it's really fun to dance to and sounds like it could be a pop priest record."

Tell us your guesses who the "legendary" producer of "You and I" will be in the comments below!

'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Returning for Season 2!

'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Returning for Season 2!

If you're a fan of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, then you're probably rejoicing over Bravo's announcement yesterday that there will, in fact, be a season 2. (With the future uncertain for the D.C. and Miami Housewives, multiple seasons for these franchises don't seem quite so automatic anymore.) But are all the Beverly Hills gals returning for a second go-round? And is anyone new entering the fray?

An inside source tells E!'s Ted Casablanca that all the key players -- Lisa Vanderpump, Kim Richards, Kyle Richards, Camille Grammer, Adrienne Maloof and Taylor Armstrong -- began shooting the second season on Tuesday.

In an interview with E!, Kyle Richards -- who famously bickered with her sister Kim on the show as well as Grammer -- says she's ready to be less of a parent her sibling and to "just love her... Boundaries, I need some boundaries." (The siblings' fight in the limo during the season finale almost came to blows, so that sounds like a good thing.)

And here's one more tidbit: Kyle Richards' pal Faye Resnick may be joining the cast as a series regular. Resnick's name was bandied about during the O.J. Simpson trial because she was friends with Nicole Brown Simpson. Capitalizing on the notoriety that the case gave her (she testified that Brown Simpson felt physically threatened by O.J.), Resnick posed nude for Playboy in 1997.

Last season on RHOBH, Grammer (who has her own Playboy past, though pointed out she never posed nude) offered her opinion about it: She referred to Resnick, who came to her house with Kyle during the dinner party from hell episode with Grammer pal (and psychic medium) Allison DuBois, as "morally corrupt." So, it looks like there's already one strained relationship in the mix for season 2. No doubt there will be many more!

Robert Plant And Alison Krauss Win Grammy Album Of The Year

Raising Sand, from Led Zeppelin vet and bluegrass superstar, wins five Grammys on Sunday night.

"I'm bewildered," Robert Plant said onstage as he accepted the Grammy Album of the Year award with Alison Krauss on Sunday night. "In the old days we would have called this selling out, but it's a good way to spend a Sunday."

He was probably one of the few who were surprised, because Raising Sand, which won five trophies at Sunday night's show, is in many ways the perfect Grammy album. It features two respected veterans, a critically lauded producer, some sandpaper-and-velvet vocals and a baker's dozen of time-tested standards.

You're probably familiar with Robert Plant from his Led Zeppelin days, and you might be aware of producer T-Bone Burnett's work on the "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack (it won the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2002). And if you don't know who Alison Krauss is, she possesses a haunting set of pipes and is one of the meanest fiddle players in the world. Oh, and she's won 21 Grammys, more than any other female artist and the seventh-most in history.

Really, she's the key to Sand's success, and not just because of her voice (or her fiddle playing). She and Plant first met in 2004, at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tribute to legendary bluesman Leadbelly, and the former Zeppelin man was amazed by her knowledge of American Roots music — so much so that they began kicking around the idea of recording an album together. Three years later, Sand was released.

And while Plant possesses the more famous voice, the album's finest moments radiate from Krauss. Whether she's getting bluesy on Little Milton's "Let Your Loss Be Your Lesson" or entwining with Plant's husky voice on songs like "Please Read the Letter" and Roly Salley's winsome "Killing the Blues," she more than carries her end of the bargain.

And perhaps that's also due to producer Burnett, who handpicked the 13 songs the duo cover on Sand. His arrangements are sparse — giving the two voices ample room to breathe — yet dense, warm and crackling at the same time. It's a testament to his work that he's often given just as much billing as Plant and Krauss on the project ... and it's certainly justified.

To date, Sand has sold more than 1 million copies, heaped tons of acclaim and actually earned a Grammy last year — "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)" took home the award for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals.

One expert was surprised not by the album's success, but by the fact that it's actually quite a good album.

"At first, the album seemed like a vanity project. ... Two names, clearly a one-off record, didn't have to be any good, you know?" New York Times music critic Jon Caramanica said. "Led Zeppelin fans would buy it because of Robert Plant, Alison Krauss would get a check. But it actually turned out to be a really thoughtful, really good record. So when you combine all that with the fact that the Grammys love to lionize one of their own, I could really see it taking home some awards."

Like most artists, Britney Spears has certain rituals when she hits the recording studio. And when she was putting down the tracks that made the cut for her latest release, the dance-floor-friendly Femme Fatale, Spears reveals what she needed to get into the mood.

"I love vanilla candles ... and I love my tea," she explains in "Britney Spears: I Am the Femme Fatale." "My assistant always has some hot tea, little things like that just to make me feel at ease and comfortable, just girly things."

In the special, Spears is filmed getting some of that beloved tea with her assistant, and later she hits the studio with "Big Fat Bass" producer will.i.am, who shows her the final cut of the booming track.

"I did some tweaking to the 'Big Fat Bass': The bass is even bigger," he tells her as she dances along to the song, which eventually is featured in her live show at Rain Nightclub at the Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

The special is a mixture of behind-the-scenes footage of the singer as she wraps up production on her album, which dropped this week, as well as an inside look at her life and fans. In addition, those who couldn't make Spears' recent Vegas show will get to see her as she takes the stage in her latest pop incarnation.

Don't miss "Britney Spears: I Am the Femme Fatale," airing Sunday (April 3) at 9 p.m. ET on MTV.
