“I’m recording my next album right now, and I’m really excited because I find myself in a very introspective stage of my life,” she said during an interview to promote the upcoming season of her reality series The Voice.  ”I’ve learned so much, have experienced so much, in leaps and bounds. It’s a journey of growth for me, continuously throughout my career. I’m excited to put it all down on paper through my lyrics and my voice.”

The album will be a follow up to 2010′s Bionic.

The singer, along with boyfriend Matt Rutler, headed to California’s Legoland to celebrate Max’s fourth birthday.  The threesome, along with about 16 others, spent around five hours at the amusement park, and enjoyed time in Miniland Las Vegas and Hideaways. They also rode Treasure Falls and Lost Kingdom Adventure, and Max drove a car in Volvo Junior Driving School, an onlooker tells PEOPLE.

The singer shared her fond memories after the trip: “Spent today at Legoland with the love of my life. Happy bday Max!” Aguilera Tweeted.

To top off the day, Legoland created a vanilla cake with vanilla frosting and LEGO brick décor on it for Max. The birthday boy also got a birthday button when he got there – and he wore it the entire time.

The new season of The Voice kicks off on February 5.

Have you noticed how clogged information networks have become with celebrity endorsements? It seems everywhere you turn, a notorious rapper is subtly hawking minivans on Twitter or an actress is imploring you on television to purchase their new fragrance. And that doesn’t even include the enormous ranks of professional athletes from Tiger Woods to Anna Kournikova who are pitching products daily.

So far reaching has the celebrity endorsement business grown; there are now start-up firms whose sole purpose is to match celebrities with brands to advertise. Some celebrities are known to command as much as $10,000 per 140-character tweet. But, clearly, businesses see this practice as a viable investment as it continues to grow unabated.

Celebrity endorsements have been around since the dawn of the entertainment business. P.T. Barnum was said to be one of the most prolific hucksters history has known. There were, of course, many others; especially professional athletes who have – since the days of Ted Williams and Babe Ruth – had a penchant for sales as a significant salary adjuster.

And the Academy Award winning actor and director apparently sees something he likes in former Godfather’s Pizza executive, Herman Cain.

Cain rose out of nowhere to become a frontrunner in the primary race after Texas Governor Rick Perry’s shooting star exploded after several awkward – at best – gaffes that were broadcast worldwide. But just as quickly as he emerged as a front-runner, Cain started having his own problems – namely several women accusing him of inappropriate behavior during his pizza days and several of his own misstatements regarding foreign policy. And then there is the now (in)famous YouTube campaign advertisement featuring his smoking (and we don’t mean hot) campaign manager.

Big names that have been spotted there include Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, James Dean, etc (although you surely wouldn’t see them coming again!). Among those alive and breathing big stars that have been seen there include Bono, Nicolas Cage, Britney Spears, Jodie Foster, Kevin Spacey, an more.
