Beyonce 'back to work'

Beyonce fans will be pleased to learn that the bootylicious babe has returned to work following her wedding to rapper Jay-Z.

The newlywed diva has begun work on her new album, according to reports.

Beyonce has been holed up in a New York studio to record new material with production duo Chris 'Tricky' Stewart and Kuk Harrell, who are full of praise when it comes to the singer's work ethic.

Tricky told People magazine: "She's a professional. She loves what she does and works her butt off. Right now she's basically doing three to four songs a day and that's unheard of."

Of course the question on everyone's lips right now is, will Beyonce and her new hubby Jay-Z be collaborating on the new album?

Tricky said: "It's always a possibility. They worked together before, so it may be just a matter of getting the right record."

Jay-Z featured on Beyonce's 2006 single Deja vu, which was well received by critics and fans alike.
