So, Who Finally Topped The 2011 Best-Selling Albums Chart? Beyonce Or Rihanna?

Excerpt from:

Neither. Adele did! The results are finally in and 2011′s World Wide Year-End chart is available for all to see. The figures are based on the album sales made within the year – even if the album, itself, wasn’t released then. Holding the #1 spot is Adele , whose 21 album sold 15.3 million copies. (She also holds the #7 spot with her 19 album – despite it being released three years ago – with 2.8 million copies.) Lady Gaga technically nabbed the #2 spot, but she is still very far behind Adele in sales; her Born This Way album sold 5.4 million copies. Rihanna sits pretty at the #5 spot with her LOUD album selling 3.4 million copies. Beyonce , however, just made the cut. She achieved the final spot in the Top 10 with her 4 album selling only 2.1 million copies this year. See the rest of the Top 40 here! Rihanna & Chris Brown Subtweeting?

By Rob Markman, with reporting by Sway Calloway Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Flame Photo: MTV News Jay-Z and Kanye West aren’t the only rappers dropping a collab album this week. As soloists, Atlanta’s Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Flame have taken their Southern-drenched sound worldwide, and on Tuesday (August 9), the duo released Ferrari Boyz, an LP Waka said was inspired by the people. “Fans were like, ‘Man, y’all need to do somethin’ together, work with people in the industry,’ ” Waka told MTV News’ Sway. “See, we could agree with one of the statements: We’ll work together, but the industry folks, they industry, you follow me?” On Ferrari Boyz, the 1017 representatives keep everything in-house. The majority of the album was produced by Lex Luger and Southside, both of whom contributed largely to Waka’s first album, Flockaveli, in 2010.

Did NBA’s Rashard Lewis Sleep With LeBron James’ Girlfriend Savannah Brinson?

Here is the original post:

Looks like LeBron James’ lackluster performance in this year’s NBA playoffs may be related to some rumored off the court drama. Word on the street is that Rashard Lewis of the Washington Wizards slept with LeBron’s girl Savannah while he was visiting South Beach! Here’s what we found out : I have a very reliable source who clubs and drinks with all of the athletes that come through Orlando. He was all over the Tiger Woods issue and knew what all happened with Tiger prior to it being released publicly. My buddy has a place in Orlando, Lake Nona to be exact, and he lives among some athletes that live there in Orlando. Needless to say he golfs, drinks, and parties with some of the best people in central Florida. So when word got to him while at the bar last night, he called me. Word got out while drinking with friends, that Rashard Lewis slept with Lebrons girl while visiting South Beach. ESPN’s analyst Stephen A. Smith recently said on his radio show that Bron Bron is going through personal off court issues and that’s the reason for his poor play in the finals.
