Returning to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart is Eminem‘s Recovery, selling 133,00 copies. Not since Susan Boyle’s I Dreamed a Dream claimed six straight beginning last December has anyone spent as many weeks in the top spot.

To date, Recovery has sold 2.1 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Behind Lady Antebellum selling 2.5 million units of their Need You Now, Em is the only artist to cross the double platinum line this year.

Last week’s chart-topper, Arcade Fire‘s The Suburbs falls to No. 2 with 52,000 albums sold. Disney Channel’s Camp Rock 2: the Final Jam debuts at No. 3, selling 41,000 copies. The second-highest entry comes from Black Label Society, whose Order of the Black comes in at No. 4 selling 33,000 copies. Blake Shelton’s second EP of the year, All About Tonight comes in at No. 6 with 33,000 units moved.

The final debut in the top 10 comes from Mike Posner with his debut effort 31 Minutes to Takeoff, flying low at No. 8 with 29,000. Sparked by the hit single “Cooler Than Me,” many expected higher sales. Justin Bieber‘s My World 2.0 climbs up two spots to No. 5, selling 33,000 albums.

Rick Ross’ Teflon Don falls two spots to No. 7 moving 30,000 sets. Kidz Bop 18 set rises up two places to No. 9 with 28,000 copies to their credit. And Avenged Sevenfold’s Nightmare rounds out the Top 10, falling seven places to No. 10 ans selling 27,000 copies.

Are Lindsay Lohan's Bon Mots Really Worth $1 Million?!

8/19/2010 12:04:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

If you're a celebrity looking for a magazine cover and a financial windfall, you pretty much have three options: get married, have a baby or be a hot mess.

Guess which one Lindsay Lohan's shooting for?

While OK! magazine isn't commenting on reports that they've offered the currently rehabbing actress a $1 million payday for exclusive rights to her most recent sob story, sources confirm to E! News that "there have been talks" for such a seven-figure deal.

And while it will be her first sitdown that garners the most attention—and, in turn, gives the biggest boost to her bank account—subsequent pit stops on the promotional circuit may prove equally as lucrative in the long run.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, if when LiLo returns to the Hollywood or, more likely, New York club scene, she could earn anywhere from $25,000-$100,000 simply for showing up. And trying not to drink.

Forbes ranks the richest rappers: Some guys named Shawn, Sean, and Aliuane top the list

8/19/2010 12:04:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Forbes has once again taken time from covering entrepreneurs who work with short-term CDs and gold-backed bonds to cover those who work with 12-track CDs and gold teeth. And again, Jay-Z has topped the business magazine’s annual list of highest-earning hip-hop stars, raking in an impressive $63 million over the past year. That’s over twice as much as his nearest competition, Diddy, and $28 million more than he made last year.

Kanye West experienced one of the bigger drops, going from third place in 2009 all the way down to 10th, right behind Pharrell (the only other artist in the Top 20 who uses his real name). Kanye’s drop could be a result of VMA backlash and his subsequent laying-low, but with a new album coming up, it’s hard to imagine that his estimated $12 million won’t increase soon.

Personally, I was surprised that a lot of the names on the list, like Diddy, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, haven’t had a huge hit in awhile. Also, where’s MC Hammer? I would have assumed that his Cash 4 Gold investment strategy would have paid off by now. I’m probably less surprised at the names on the list than I am at the names on the list. Calvin? Clifford? Aubrey? Lonnie? Somehow I think I now understand the need for their monikers. Here’s the full list:

Chrome OS tablet coming from Google and Verizon on Black Friday, November 26th ?

8/19/2010 12:03:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments


We've been waiting on pins and needles for Google to announce some official Android tablet plans for so long we'd almost forgotten about Mountain View's other operating system -- but from what we're hearing, Chrome OS is about to jump to center stage with a tablet debut on Verizon just before the holidays. Our friends at Download Squad are told by a reliable tipster that HTC is building a Tegra 2-based Chrome OS tablet for Google with a 1280 x 720 multitouch display, 2GB of RAM, at least 32GB of storage with the possibility of expansion, GPS, a webcam, and the usual wireless connectivity, including a 3G radio. Launch is pegged for Black Friday on November 26, and apparently the plan is to offer the device for extremely cheap or free on subsidy, which makes sense -- it is just a browser, after all, and "free" sounds mighty nice compared to the iPad's $499 entry point. (Of course, you'll undoubtedly be tied to a Verizon contract, but we'll just let that slide for now.) We'll see how much of this comes true in the next few months -- we're certainly intrigued.

Ariel Lin denies writing about Mike He in her book

8/19/2010 12:01:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

The popular actress was recently rumored to be jumping ship to SETTV after years of collaborating with its competitor GTV. At a press event yesterday, Ariel Lin revealed there will be an answer by the end of August. Her new photobook A Wonderful Journey was also released last week.

In a piece of writing titled “Regretful Beauty”, she wrote, “Me and You, once wandered in that dazzling love, the mischievous yet elegant you is now far away.” Some questioned if she was referring to her Love Contract costar Mike He, which she denied.

The presently single Ariel Lin said, “(I) never feel bored, but feel lonely once awhile.” When asked if the feelings mentioned in her book referred to a celebrity, she replied, “Maybe!” She worried people would start making associations and quickly changed her answer, “It’s about feelings toward idols, idols are celebrities.”

Ariel Lin said she is in good health and looking forward to take on her next project. She hopes to challenge herself with a complex character. The actress even revealed that she has done many bad things when she was young, “I’ve poked my brother’s hand with a pencil, and tore apart his homework.” Fortunately, the two now have a very good relationship and support each other through hard times.

Hilary Duff Injured On Wedding Day!

8/19/2010 12:00:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

HILARY Duff chipped a tooth on her wedding day.

The singer-and-actress — who married Mike Comrie in a sunset ceremony in Santa Barbara, California, last Saturday — had to be rushed to the dentist in secret just hours before she tied the knot.

“I started my day with a chipped tooth. My wedding planner snuck me out to the dentist! Thank goodness it was fixed within the hour,” she told OK! magazine

The 22-year-old star also revealed she and Mike penned their own wedding vows with a little help from the internet.

“We didn’t write our vows word for word. I researched on the internet for three days! I read about other people’s ceremonies, picking and choosing what I liked,” she said. “We chose a few poems and a ring blessing.”

Although Hilary loved every part of her big day, she admits her favorite thing about getting married was the huge variety of delicious food that was served.

“I wanted junk food — because I’ve been so good,” she said. “I said to my sister Haylie, ‘After the wedding is over, I’m going to eat 16,000 calories!’
