Lady Gaga Breaks Records In Sales, Video Viewings

Gaga’s videos have exceeded 1 billion views online. By Jocelyn Vena Lady Gaga Photo: Florian Seefried/ Getty Images Lady Gaga is having quite a week. After revealing she’s about to start work on her next music video for her “Alejandro” track comes news that she’s broken two records, one for video views and one for music sales. First off, the singer is now the only digital-era artist to top the 5 million sales mark with her first two hits, according to Yahoo Music . Gaga broke the record when her single “Poker Face” reached 5 million in sales after her debut single, “Just Dance,” accomplished that feat last year. The only other act with two songs at or above 5 million is the Black Eyed Peas, according to Yahoo. And if selling millions of records weren’t enough, Gaga also reached the 1 billion mark in video views. According to Mashable , with numbers and analytics compiled by Visible Measures, Gaga is the first artist to have her videos reach 1 billion views. Three of her music videos hold spots in the 100 Million Club, including “Poker Face” (374,606,128), “Just Dance” (272,941,674) and “Bad Romance” (360,020,327). Most of the streams are through Vevo and YouTube. Following close behind Gaga’s record are “Twilight” (980 million) and Soulja Boy Tell’em (860 million). Last weekend, Gaga celebrated her 24th birthday and showed off one of her gifts online. In a photo posted on Twitter , she held up a red teacup and wrote, “Nothing like a communist-red teacup to make for the perfect Birthday gift. Last words are for fools who haven’t said enough.” Related Videos The Top Secret ‘Telephone’ Video Related Artists Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga’s ‘Telephone’ Video: Pop-Culture Cheat Sheet, Part II

From Andy Warhol to ‘NCIS,’ there are plenty of references we didn’t spot the first time. By James Montgomery and Eric Ditzian Lady Gaga in her video for “Telephone” Photo: Interscope It is perhaps tribute to Lady Gaga’s sprawling, spot-the-references “Telephone” video that, even after we published a fairly comprehensive Pop-Culture Cheat Sheet on Friday, there was still enough ephemera left over for a second piece. Seems there was plenty we missed in our first go-round, so we’re back for round two, with special note of thanks to the intrepid readers who pointed out many of the following to us. Without further ado, here’s our Pop-Culture Cheat Sheet, Part II. Once again alphabetized and cross-referenced for your perusal. ‘Telephone’ Cheat Sheet Photos Blue, Alektra : American porn star. A former Penthouse Pet of the Month with credits to her name like “Housewives Hunting Housewives” and “Tease Before the Please 2,” Blue shows up as a leather-clad inmate welcoming Gaga to lockup with a suggestive roll of her eyes. “Chicago” : Musical based on a sensational 1924 murder trial. The play’s “Cell Block Tango” number (and its “Six Merry Murderesses of the Cook County Jail”) are nodded to in the “Telephone” prison dance sequence. “Command & Conquer” : Long-standing video game serious with both real-time strategy and first-person shooter iterations. One of three fictional ingredients in Gaga’s Cook ‘N’ Kill lunch special is a cup of Tiberium, a valuable yet toxic resource within the series’ gameplay. Dal

Corey Feldman, Agent Don’t Believe Corey Haim Died Of Drug Overdose

Actor was reportedly dating ‘Daisy of Love’ star Daisy de la Hoya at time of his death. By Gil Kaufman Corey Feldman and Corey Haim Photo: Frazer Harrison/ Getty Images Corey Haim’s agent doesn’t believe his client died of a drug overdose, as has been speculated amid reports that prescription drug bottles were found near the actor’s body. On Tuesday, the day the 38-year-old “Lost Boys” actor died in his mother Judy’s Hollywood apartment, Mark Heaslip told TMZ that Haim had a fever and was having trouble breathing, so a doctor was called to the apartment to check up on the actor. Heaslip said that Judy fell asleep Monday night and woke up at around midnight to find her son standing over her just before he collapsed. She called 911 immediately, but Heaslip — who said he doesn’t believe Haim died of a drug overdose — said it took an ambulance 20 minutes to arrive at the apartment, by which point it was too late. Haim’s good friend and frequent co-star Corey Feldman also told Larry King on Wednesday night that he doesn’t believe his frequent co-star died of an overdose. The actor had been on the comeback trail, according to the producer of one of the final films he worked on, “The Dead Sea.” Producer Rick Tucker said Haim insisted on a drug-and-alcohol free set on the movie he was filming when he died, TMZ reported . Another reported bright spot in Haim’s life before his death was a new relationship with a fellow reality star who allegedly tried to help save him from his addiction demons. E! Online reported that Haim began dating 27-year-old “Daisy of Love” star Daisy de la Hoya after recently being introduced to the VH1 star by Feldman. “I’m sooooooo devastated right now,” de la Hoya reportedly tweeted on Wednesday on her protected Twitter page according to E! “This is the worst day ever I can’t believe this.” An unnamed source close to de la Hoya told the site that the romance between the two was new, but that it had its roots in a longtime crush. “Daisy loved ‘The Lost Boys,’ and she always had a crush on Corey,” the source said. “Their first official date was two weeks ago, but they’d been hanging out a little while before that. Corey invited her to the Playboy Mansion. Corey Feldman came, too.” The dating-show veteran apparently wanted to help Haim with his drug-dependency struggles. “Daisy knew Corey was doing a lot of drugs — especially prescription meds,” the source said. “She thought he was kind and talented, and she wanted to rescue him. She became his confidant over the last few weeks.” Though the relationship was new and they weren’t exclusive, a rep for de la Hoya said she was “bawling and inconsolable” when she got the news about Haim, tweeting, “Why do I always fall for the lost soul? We could of been lost together, now your lost forever … I’ll miss you.” Although police reportedly found a number of prescription drug bottles at the apartment where Haim was found, authorities have not declared a cause of death pending an investigation and pending autopsy .

T-Pain Says Lil Wayne’s Jail Time Put T-Wayne Album On Hold

‘We just gonna wait until he gets out to really get in on that,’ he tells Mixtape Daily. By Shaheem Reid T-Wayne Photo: Young Money The O.D.: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive Despite naysayers’ talk that the duet album between T-Pain and Lil Wayne will never happen, Mr. Pain says the project is very much still alive, just on hold. “The T-Wayne album, we’re actually gonna wait until he gets out,” Pain said about Weezy’s jail time . “He has so much going on. He has Rebirth out right now. I don’t wanna interrupt that. We just gonna wait until he gets out to really get in on that. We recorded a bunch of songs. But, right now, it’s time for him and his personal sh–. We definitely got an album’s worth of material, but it’s only an album’s worth. It’s nothing to pick from. We just got an album. We can put out whatever we feel like and say, ‘Hey, this is T-Wayne’s album,’ or we can actually try to make it good. Like we’re actually trying to make an album and say, ‘This is the good T-Wayne album.’ Rather than just record 12 songs and say, ‘Here you go, mutha—-as! I know you want it. You gonna buy it anyway, just ’cause you think it’s good.’ ” Pain, who always has a joke up his sleeve or in his top hat, had a lighthearted response when asked what he thought of his supergroup teammate having to go to prison. “It happens, man,” the singer said. “People go to jail. That’s something he’s gotta go through. I’m happy it’s not f—ing 10 years. That’s just something that’s going on. I know his commissary [prison store] is ridiculous. He’s got so much money in his commissary. You think Baby is gonna let him sit up in there and eat Doritos? Wayne got [his food] coming with steaks. … I know what’s going on there. “Young Money is still there also. He’s in the studio 24/7,” Pain added. “It’s gonna be like Tupac. You still gonna get 1,000 songs from Wayne. You ain’t gonna miss nothing. It’s gonna be like he never went to jail. I’m pretty sure they’re gonna put out a gang of songs. I’m pretty sure they’re gonna do a ‘Free Lil Wayne’ campaign. That’s how it goes.” For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines .
