There’s nothing like a good beef to force Hip-Hop heads to take sides. Over the years disagreements between raprers have almost become as important to the culture as the music itself. If they’re lucky, rappers can turn their disagreements into album sales. But it’s much more interesting when the opposite effect occurs. Since the Common vs. Drake’s rift has been holding our attention this week, Hip-Hop Wired decided to count down the ‘Top 10 Hip-Hop Beefs Gone Wrong.’ Click here to see who made the cut…
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?
We know there’s no accounting for taste, but COME THE EFF ON! Men’s Health Magazine just published their list of the 100 hottest women ever, topped by Jennifer Anniston who had to admit herself that she probably shouldn’t have won that title. The list is made up of countless pin-up girls, porn stars, in addition the usual models, actresses and singers one would find on this type of list. Now, we know that this list wasn’t made for “us”… But when Pam Grier , Tina Turner, Jennifer Lopez , Halle Berry , Shakira and Beyonce all rank below Britney Spears, we HAVE to call shenanigans. Flip through the pages below to see which Black and Latina women made the cut and where they ranked on this travesty of a list.

It was the weekend of the MMVA’s 2011 in Toronto and all though it was not announced Justin would be making an appearance, we all had our fingers crossed he would be there. Soon enough the show’s co-host Selena Gomez arrived at Toronto’s Four Seasons Hotel so we knew if Justin was to come, he would probably be staying there too. The morning of Saturday the 18th of June I saw Bruce & Diane Dale walk out of the hotel which for me, confirmed that Justin was definitely coming. A friend and I went up to them and just said hello and asked them how they were. A few hours later, a paparazzi told me the license plate number of the car bringing Justin back from the airport and where to wait to see it. I stood on the side of the street and a few minutes later saw the car with the outline of Justin in the car and for me…that was enough! Later on in the evening, just before the red carpet, a friend and I were waiting to see Lady Gaga outside of her hotel but decided to go for a walk around the other side of the Four Seasons. On the way there, we bumped into Ryan Good who was super sweet and got a picture with him. Once we got on the other side of the hotel, we saw Justin’s car with his driver standing outside. Being my crazy self I decided to ask him if he was Justin’s driver and he was! He took my printed photos of Justin to try and get signed (they didn’t get signed in the end though but that’s ok!) and told us where to stand if we wanted to see Justin. So off to Starbucks we went to wait to witness a glimpse Justin Bieber. We waited for about ten minutes and soon enough, out came the car and Justin quickly rolled down the window so the small group of us there could see him and Ryan Butler! Once the MMVA’s had started we took a walk downtown and saw Justin’s driver once again. My mom thought it would be cute if I got a picture in Justin’s seat and he let me! Justin’s water bottle was on the seat, so obviously he moved it, but I got my picture taken and it was as if the seat was still warm for Justin was sat there moments before myself! My mom thanked the driver for being so kind. That night we got home and got up to try to see Justin at the airport. Justin ended up going into a different entrance but I have to thank my mom for being crazy enough to do that, I love you mommy! After waiting at the airport for an hour we decided to go back to Yorkville and saw Ryan Good again. This time I got an autograph for my best friend and myself as well as an autograph on my home made Bieber shirt from the One Time days. I wish I could have actually met Justin but my experience was crazy enough for me and I know I got a lot closer to him then a lot of people! -@rebeccamayxo Read the rest here: It was the weekend of the MMVA’s 2011 in Toronto and all…
I would never think I would be writing MY own Bieber experience, but I guess that’s why Justin always tells us to never say never. Always follow your dreams and never give up. It took me awhile to get to this place in my life and I’m glad I worked so hard to get here. My friend had told me about Justin coming to New York and having a perfume launch at Macy’s. I did everything possible to make this happen. I camped out on June 21 since 8pm the day before so I could get meet and greets and then stayed there till 2am the next day. The city floors were disgusting but I knew this would be my only way to meet him. The next day, June 22, they gave out cards. I was number 117 out of 325 tickets so I knew I made the cut! It was the best feeling in the world. We soon went into Macy’s and payed for our perfume and a whole lot of other stuff that came along with it. The next day, June 23rd was the day I met Justin Bieber! I was 6th to last on line and it was the best feeling in the world. I couldn’t believe this perfect 17 year old kid I obsess over was standing right next to me. He had a beautiful smile and just that amazing voice I couldn’t resist. I told him that I loved him and he said I love you too. I am so blessed to even had this opportunity! Love you & thank you bieber experience! -@jessbieberdel See the original post: I would never think I would be writing MY own Bieber experience,…

Here is a song from Justin Bieber that recently hit the web. The song is titled “Heartache,” and it’s uber cute! Although, it does sound like Justin may have recorded the song a while ago, so maybe it was meant for one of his first albums, but it never made the cut. Listen to Justin’s song “Heartache” below and let us know if you hope Justin re-records the song and puts it on his next album, which is set to release sometime later this year.
