The “Glee” cast has surpassed the Beatles for the most appearances on the Billboard Hot 100 chart by a non-solo act.
The cast of the Fox television musical series about a high school glee club has six debuts on the chart this week. That gives it a total of 75 songs on the chart to the Beatles’ 71.
The show’s soundtrack got a boost after this week’s episode featuring the music of Britney Spears.
Elvis Presley still leads overall with 108 songs to chart on the Hot 100. He’s followed by James Brown with 91, then “Glee.”
The Beatles are sixth, behind Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin. Lil Wayne, Stevie Wonder and Jay-Z round out the Top 10.
Nielsen SoundScan says the “Glee” cast has sold 2.8 million albums and 11.5 million downloads.

Lady Gaga has finished new album!
Superstar Lady Gaga has finished her new album, after her debut “The Fame” topped charts around the world.
Gaga is known for her flamboyant costumes as much as her records, plans to release the album early next year, according to Rolling Stone magazine.
“I think I’m gonna get the album title tattooed on me and put out the photo,” she told the publication.
“I’ve been working on it for months now, and I feel very strongly that it’s finished right now. It came so quickly. Some artists take years; I don’t. I write music every day.”
The “Poker Face” singer, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, hinted that her new music was likely to be more serious than her hit debut, which turned her into one of the pop world’s biggest stars.
“I have been for three years baking cakes — and now I’m going to bake a cake that has a bitter jelly,” she said.
“The message of the new music is now more bitter than it was before. Because the sweeter the cake, the more bitter the jelly can be.”
Do you think she can top her last album?!

Is Madonna Angry With Lady Gaga?

Apparently the Queen of Pop, Madonna, thinks that Lady Gaga is a copycat! According to Madonna’s friends, the legend is “annoyed” with Gaga and she accuses her of ripping off her avant garde style.
Madonna’s copycat claims have been further fuelled by Gaga’s controversial — or “blasphemous,” if Katy Perry is to be believed — video, “Alejandro.” The clip shows Gaga dressed in a latex nuns’ outfit, suggestively swallowing a set of rosary beads, and appears to include references to Madonna’s early ’90s videos for “Like A Prayer” and “Vogue.”
”It just bugs Madonna that Lady Gaga uses fashion and her performance style in a way that has so many people calling her ‘The New Madonna,’” One spy says. “Madonna thinks she is unique and there cannot be a younger version of something that is unique.”
The America’s Catholic League can see the similarities between Madonna and Gaga as well and here’s what they had to say about it all:
“Lady Gaga is playing Madonna copy cat, squirming around half-naked with half-naked guys, abusing Catholic symbols – they’re always Catholic symbols – while bleating out Alejandro enough times to induce vomit… She has now become the new poster girl for American decadence and Catholic bashing, sans (without) the looks and talent of her role model.”
Do you think Lady Gaga is copying Madonna? Or do you even care?! Haha
Christina Aguilera Wants Everyone To Know She Has Nothing Against Lady Gaga!

Christina Aguilera wants to make sure she clears up some rumors as well as dismiss reports that she is upset that Lady Gaga copies her looks.
She believes that her comments about Lady Gaga and the similarities between the two stars has been taken out of context. Fuel was added to this feud after Akon made a comment that Christina was copying Gaga’s image for the “Beautiful” singer’s comeback.
Aguilera writes, “I would like to take a moment to clarify something that has been brought to my attention… It is very easy for comments to be taken out of context and create unnecessary drama, especially between us women. So I would like to tell you all directly, so my words can not be misconstrued to sell someone else’s story.
“I have absolutely nothing against Lady Gaga or any other female artist in this business. I think she is great, and I appreciate any woman fearless enough to go against the norm.
“She has earned her success with hard work and a clear focus and I have nothing but respect for that. There is room for all of us on everyone’s iPods.”
“This is not the first time I have been unfairly pitted against another female artist, but it will be the last time I comment on the matter.”
Which side are you on?? Gaga or Aguilera! Or is it all just totally lame?!

Miley Cyrus is stepping up her efforts to help victims of the Haiti earthquake. She is planning on raising money by selling the dress she wore to Sunday night’s Grammy Awards.
Miley stepped out on the red carpet in Los Angeles wearing a teal-colored gown by Herve Leger. She has decided to put her dress on internet auction site eBay.com to raise money for charity efforts in Haiti, which was devastated by a massive tremor last month.
She tells USA Today, “I’m going to auction it (the dress) off on eBay for the Red Cross. It’s the little things you can do. I think it’s really important that everybody come (sic) together because disaster relief isn’t just now. It’s how we’re going to help years from now. We have to restore an entire place. It just can’t be one person, one foundation, one group of people. All people have to come together.”

Overall the 2010 Grammy’s red carpet fashion was a success.
I mean in a nutshell, Taylor Swift looks like a mermaid. Britney Spears forgot her pants. Katy Perry has the same bangs as my five-year-old sister. Lady Gaga obviously hired a stylist from MARS and Fergie was looking hot!
What do you think??
Rihanna Is Going To The Grammys “Alone”
“I’m going to the Grammys alone…I’m still single.” Rihanna dismisses reports she’s dating Los Angeles Dodgers baseball star Matt Kemp.
Matt has a controversial history – a former lover filed a restraining order against him. But the baseball star insists the court order, which was subsequently lifted, is a “non-issue.” His agent said, “Matt Kemp is a consummate Midwestern gentleman who has never displayed any act of violence towards a woman.”
Rihanna insists she won’t be taking the stage this year after she and Chris Brown caused the producers so much hassle in 2009. She says, “We messed their show up pretty bad last year. They might be a little mad at me.”
I think it’s a smart move for her to go to this years Grammy awards alone given it’s only been a year since Chris Brown beat her up.
