Missy Elliot has reunited with long-time collaborator Timbaland for her upcoming untitled seventh studio album, which is set to hit stores this spring.

Timbo provided production for Missy's first five albums (Supa Dupa Fly, Da Real World, Miss E...So Addictive, Under Construction and This Is Not A Test), but the two haven't collaborated on a full length project in over four years.

An eight-song preview of the upcoming release revealed that Timbaland has produced three songs so far, including "Shake Your Pom Pom" which appeared on the Step Up 2 The Streets soundtrack, "Like When You Play The Music," and the soulful, "Love."

On "Love" Timbo and Missy attempt to evoke the old R&B sounds of Aaliyah and Ginuwine. "I ain't no R&B singer like Beyonce but I can hold a note, so don't laugh at me," Elliot said during the listening session.

In addition to Timbaland, Missy also accepted beats from the Souldiggaz, Point Guard, T.Gooch and Timbaland protégé DanjaHandz. Danja produced the first single, "Best Best."

Elliot expects to add two or three more tracks to the line-up before wrapping the album, which is expected to hit stores in late May or early June.

NEW YORK - Paris Hilton is looking for a new best friend.

Hilton will choose from 20 potential confidantes on a new MTV reality series in the United States, tentatively titled "Paris Hilton's My New BFF," premiering later this year, the network announced Thursday. "BFF" is an abbreviation for "Best Friends Forever."

Production is scheduled to begin in Los Angeles at the end of May, MTV said. The contestants will live together in a house - drama! - and try to prove themselves worthy in the areas of loyalty, endurance and "girl politics."

Hilton, an executive producer on the show, will "teach the secrets of celebrity living - how to turn your enchanted life into a multimillion dollar brand, how to manage public feuds and always rise above, how to survive scandal and then make it work for you, all the while wearing six-inch heels."

A casting call has kicked off on ParisBFF.com, where visitors can vote for Hilton's aspiring hangers-on.

The 27-year-old hotel heiress continues to command attention despite speculation her star power would diminish following her jail stint last June for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless-driving case.

Hilton - flanked by her current boyfriend, Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden - sat in the front row Tuesday at the L.A. Fashion Week show for 24-year-old sister Nicky Hilton's Nicholai line.

Madden's twin brother, Good Charlotte singer Joel Madden, and close Hilton pal Nicole Richie are the parents of a two-month-old daughter, Harlow Winter Kate Madden.

Halle Berry and her boyfriend, model Gabriel Aubry, welcomed a baby girl Sunday.

"Everyone is doing great!" her rep tells Usmagazine.com.

"I've accomplished things I never thought I would," she told Parade magazine. "Now my sights are set on a different chapter in my life, which is motherhood. That's the goal I have very clearly set for myself."

Berry met Aubrey, 32, at a Versace photo shoot in November 2005. They went public as a couple three months later. Of her relationship, she told Hello magazine: "I have someone who is putting a spark in my eye. I have never been in better physical and emotional shape, and I'm happy in my personal life - what a novel idea!"
