      - The Go-Go's have completed recording their first album in more than 15 years and
      have begun mixing in Los Angeles. The yet-to-be-titled project is due in May from Beyond Music.

      The album is being produced by renowned alt-rock producers Paul Kolderie and Sean Slade, whose
      co-resume includes work on Hole's Live Through This, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones' Let's Face It, and
      Radiohead's The Bends and Pablo Honey.

      Meanwhile, Go-Go's frontwoman Belinda Carlisle has reportedly been busy on another front -- showing off
      her 42-year-old self for a photographer of Playboy magazine, according to a report in New Yorker
      magazine. The New Yorker cites an industry source in reporting that the lead vocalist did a photo shoot
      for the men's magazine in late November. A spokesperson for Carlisle would not confirm the story, but
      did tell the New Yorker that Playboy had been "after her for years."

      And in other Go-Go's news, Jane Wiedlin and Charlotte Caffey are a hit on the country charts thanks
      to "But For The Grace Of God," a song the duo co-wrote with country artist Keith Urban. The track,
      from Urban's self-titled 1999 debut, clocks in at Number 26 on the current Billboard Hot Country
      Singles & Tracks chart. And crossover success might not be far behind. The tune debuted this week at
      Number 14 on the publication's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.
