Superstar Madonna has laughed off reports she will collaborate with Christina Aguilera and Gwen Stefani on her eagerly-awaited new album.

After her politically-themed 2003 album American Life, the singer is returning to dance music with "Confessions on a Dance Floor" - which hits music stores in November.

After Aguilera and Madonna were spotted leaving the same West Hollywood, California recording studio, reports suggested they were planning to collaborate.

However, Madonna's spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg tells gossip site The Scoop: "Christina is working on an album in the   same building as Madonna, but they have not seen each other.

"Gwen Stefani is not guesting on the record either. It's all Madonna, all the time - a total dance record called Confessions On A Dance Floor."
