Once you’ve reached the top, there’s no place to go but down. But, just how low can you go? In the case of Madonna’s recent MDNA, the descent was a fairly great drop – from 359,000 sales at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 to just 48,000 the week after. This roughly 86-percent decrease gives MDNA the biggest drop for a No. 1-debuting album and the second biggest drop for a top 10-debuting album.

MDNA now holds the negative distinction once given to Lady Gaga’s Born This Way. […] Read more »

Becoming a mother for the first time is an exciting experience but it’s also physically draining.  Not only do you have to recover from childbirth but many women are learning to breastfeed and cope with sleepless nights.  It’s exhausting!  No wonder doctors recommend that women give themselves at least six weeks to recover but, of course, every person is different so it’s important to listen to your own body and go at your own pace.  Imagine, therefore, how horrifying it would be to have strangers criticizing your progress!  Hilary Duff now has first-hand experience with this.

After giving birth to a baby boy on March 20, 2012, Duff has been slowing easing into a routine and hasn’t felt the need to rush anything.  She said:  “I don’t have a project waiting on me that I have to bust my butt to get into shape for so it’s more about how I feel.  I like wo[…] Read more »

Lil Wayne has been signed to Young Money/Cash Money since he was 11 years old and he’s not planning to change a winning formula any time soon.  He has signed a renewal with the label, committing him to deliver at least four more albums.

The label is behind huge acts like Drake, Mystikal and Busta Rhymes and is currently enjoying the success of Nicki Minaj’s hugely successful Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, which debuted on the Billboard 200 last week in the #1 spot.

Weezy is gearing up to release I Am Not Human II, his first effort since last year’s The Carter IV which yielded the huge hit “How to Love.”   In an interview, he explained a bit about the process: "Contract-wise, I only get paid for 12 songs. Maybe on a Carter album, you probably only gonna get 12 songs, maybe a bonus 13 but on this I Am Not a Human Being thing, I really don't care... […] Read more »

Someone needs to disable Courtney Love’s Twitter account.  Many social media users have been guilty of oversharing but when you’re a highly visible celebrity, those unsavory moments are really amplified – especially if you are directing your hate at another famous person.

Recently, Courtney tweeted:  "I hear from frannies roommate that @davegrohl hit on frances, and that she was curious, I'm not mad at her, him I am about to shoot, dead."

She goes on to say that this rumor was confirmed by three people, one of which claimed Grohl "had his hands all over her" in his car and added: "If Bean did have sex with Dave Grohl which I've now heard reliable sources and a driver 3rd time, its fine on her part, he's insane.  It could be a rumor the actual sex and its not beans fault she's not slutty in any way, at all, HES OBSESSED."[…] Read more »

When hockey players in the NHL make the playoffs at the end of the season, it is not uncommon (in fact, it’s expected!) for them to grow out their beards.  They refuse to shave until their team wins the Stanley Cup or is eliminated from the playoffs for superstitious reasons. 

Country singer, Carrie Underwood, is learning all about this tradition the hard way since her husband, Mike Fisher, will be growing out one of these beards.  His team, the Nashville Predators, are taking on the Detroit Red Wings in the first round and he’s determined to give the Preds their best chance by playing hard and proudly displaying his scraggly facial hair. 

While at a promotional event for Olay, Underwood said:  "I'm not looking forward to the playoff beard.  [The players] all grow out their facial hair during the playoffs. […] Read more »

A video has recently surfaced of Bobbi Krisitina Brown, daughter of Whitney Houston, smoking from a bong, and with the death of her mother who suffered at length with a drug problem, this certainly comes a disappointment. Bobbi, who is 19 years old, was reportedly partying some friends who attend college in Statesboro, Georgia.  The video is said to be from March of 2012.

A source says, “Bobbi Kristina was staying with friends at the school and she brought along a big bag of pot for the party. Between tokes, Bobbi was drinking shots of Grey Goose and Skyy Blue vodka and sipping a mixed vodka drink. She’s obviously a seasoned partier.”[…] Read more »
