Madonna arrives at JFK International Airport from Europe on Sunday (August 4) in New York City.

The 53-year-old entertainer, who jetted in with sons Rocco and David and daughter Mercy, was in Italy for the Venice Film Festival.

Madonna promoted her new flick, W.E., attended the 2011 Gucci Award for Women in Cinema, and also came out to support James Franco at the premiere of his new film, Sal.

During an interview with a Swedish TV program, Madonna also revealed that her 12th studio album will be released in the spring of 2012, with its first single out in February or March!

The Material Girl shared that she has “started a little bit of work in the studio” and will continue recording in New York “until the end of the year.”
