Weird Al Yankovic has enjoyed a long and storied career, with nearly four decades of parodying popular chart-toppers. Now, the beloved comic is breathing the same rarefied air as the artists he lampoons, as his 14th studio album, Mandatory Fun has officially debuted at number one! Given the hilarious nature of the lyrics and the ingenious marketing strategy of having Al release a song a day online for eight straight days, it’s no surprise that the album is Yankovic’s most popular to date. At 54, the spoof artist still has his finger on the pulse of popular music, and he kicked off last week’s promotional campaign with the debut of “Tacky,” a take on Pharell’s omnipresent mega-hit “Happy.” Al followed that up with a hilarious re-write of Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” and ” Foil ,” an aluminum-wrap-based ode to Lorde’s “Royals.” Yankovic has been characteristically modest about his stunning achievement, tweeting, “If you had told me 30 years ago that this would happen, I never would’ve believed it. If you had told me TWO WEEKS ago, I never would’ve believed it!” In honor of the man who made the accordion cool, please enjoy our video gallery of Weird Al’s greatest hits below. Congrats on the number one, Al. Here’s hoping for many more! Weird Al: 15 Unforgettable Hits 1.

Billy Unger joined an unfortunately non-exclusive club. The 18-year old Disney actor is the latest employee of this company to be arrested for a substance abuse-related offense, as TMZ reports Unger was pulled over late Saturday night on suspicion of drunk driving. The Lab Rats star blew a .08, which is just barely the legal limit… but special, harsh rules apply California drivers under the age of 21. Because he had any trace of alcohol in his system, Under – who was stopped around midnight on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu – was taken into custody and later released. Unger is included on a long list Disney stars with drug and alcohol problems. Others include Zac Efron , Mitchel Musso, Jake T. Austin, Orlando Brown… actually, know what? Just browse through this photo gallery. It’ll be much easier. 13 Disney Stars Gone Wild 1. Lindsay Lohan How many times has Lindsay Lohan been in rehab? Jail?

It’s safe to say a significant majority of parents out there are sick and tired of Frozen. But it’s even safer to say that the father featured in the following video is part of the minority. The very loud and very awesome minority, that is. In footage that’s as basic as it is awesome, Billy leads daughter Blakely in a lively rendition of “Let It Go,” encouraging the toddler to get really into the song and happily showing her how it’s done. NOTE: The mother filming this impressive duet ensures us that it took place in a parking lot. So put away that child safety concern, sit back… and enjoy!

Known woman beater Chris Brown has found a new duet partner. The singer, who has teamed up with Justin Bieber in the past and who bludgeoned the face of Rihanna a few years ago, will release a single in the near future alongside teen sensation Ariana Grande. The female star posted an Instagram photo of the artists dancing in the studio together, along with the caption: “#comingsoon #rehearsal.” As you might expect, a number of Grande’s followers are upset about the likely collaboration, considering Brown’s violent history toward women.

Oh, Lorde, the latest issue of Rolling Stone is a must-read. The magazine featured outspoken teenage sensation Lorde on the cover, someone who has feuded with Selena Gomez , who is nominated for a number of Grammys and who recently befriended Taylor Swift. Not long after totally bashing Taylor Swift . The Australian singer is on record as saying Swift is so “flawless and unattainable” that she actually sets a bad example for young girls… but Taylor still sent Lorde a bouquet of roses after “Royals” soared to number-one. “I was floored,” Lorde tells Rolling Stone of the gesture. The 17-year old went on to say Swift is one of the artists who possesses a “real teenage voices.” Among other singers who Lorde includes in this class? Herself! “There are very few of us,” she tells the magazine. “There’s Tavi [Gevinson] and the Rookie [Mag] group, King Krule, and, to an extent, Jake Bugg. The other teenagers sing other people’s songs, which is fine, but it’s not an authentic teenage experience.” Lorde has made quite the name for herself in only a year or so on the music scene. And not always in a positive manner. She and boyfriend James Lowe experienced some major Twitter heat last month. “[I’m] not completely impervious to insult,” she says. “I’m a human being.” Overall, the artist may come across as brash, confident and even cocky… but she has her moments of vulnerability. “I get paralyzingly nervous a lot of times, so I tried bravado,” she tells the publication. “The way I dress and carry myself, a lot of people find it strange or intimidating. I think my whole career can be boiled down to the one word I always say in meetings: strength.” And if you think Lorde is impressive… listen to her sister, India Yelich-O’Connor , now!
I love Hayden Panettiere as much as the next guy, but here she is at the CMT 2013 Artists of the Year celebration, apparently thinking she’s a real country star or something just because she plays one on TV. And not to burst Hayden’s tiny bubble or anything, but we all know the real reason she keeps getting invited to these events: to show off that giant little person cleavage of hers. So c’mon Hayden, it’s time to give your true fans what they came for. Photos: WENN.com
