Hard as candy

EW.com just broke the news about Madonna's new album title. It's set for release on April 29 and will be called "Hard Candy." But inquiring minds want to know - what's the meaning behind the new album title?

"She loves candy," says Liz Rosenberg, Madonna's publicist.

Wow, stop the presses. What insight! But at least the album wasn't called "Electrolyte Replacement" because Madonna loves to chug Gatorade after doing Bikram yoga, or something.

Anyway, the album will feature production from Timbaland, Pharrell Williams, and Nate "Danja" Hills. And you can bet that many Jolly Ranchers were consumed during the recording sessions. But here's a little more scoop from Madonna's rep about the album's inspiration:

"It's about the juxtaposition of tough and sweetness, or as Madonna so eloquently expressed 'I'm gonna kick your (butt), but it's going to make you feel good.'"
