Meanwhile, the Queen of Pop will be heading to the US for a tour in 2008 to promote her forthcoming album.

A source is quoted as saying: "One of the ideas she loves is to do Central Park on her birthday.

"She came up with it and has been discussing it as a serious possibility. She doesn't like getting older but she knows there's no way she can pretend her birthday isn't happening.

"She is planning to kick off a world tour next June in America to promote her new album. Playing at Central Park would be the highlight. She sees it as a huge televised event."
