Decade's best: Eminem tops in sales; Beatles get No. '1' album
The race to dominate the decade in music has come down to Eminem and The Beatles in the stretch. The winner?
Both. The rapper emerges as the top-selling artist of the past 10 years, and the Fab Four have bragging rights to the best-selling album.
With 32.2 million copies sold, Eminem leads the pack in overall album sales, followed by The Beatles with 30 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan, which releases its decade tabulations today. Data were tallied through Nov. 1, and though figures could rise through Dec. 31, they won't alter the rankings.

Brits stop being bloody shoots!
The Facebook campaign to make Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name” the U.K.’s Number One Christmas single has gotten so much attention Rage are carrying a slim edge heading into the December 20th deadline, and now even Paul McCartney is commenting on the race.

The Late Peter Sellers
The call came on Christmas Eve, probably 1977. 'What are you doing tomorrow?' asked Peter Sellers. 'Not a lot,' I told him. 'Would you like to come and do not a lot with Lynne and me?'
'I'd be delighted,' I said. 'Please, don't be delighted; be depressed,' said Peter. 'That way, there's room for improvement.'
'When would you like me to come?' 'It's not really that I'd like you to come, John - though I've nothing against you, of course.

Thank you Chris and each one of you for remembering George today. The love we feel for him grows and grows.

Facebook Privacy Controls
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has just written an open letter to Facebook users regarding a privacy overhaul that is due to hit the site in the next few weeks. Soon, users will be able to selectively choose, on a per-post basis, who can see the content they post to the site. Facebook is also going to remove regional networks entirely, largely because some of those networks (like China) consist of millions of users, which makes them useless from a privacy standpoint.

Shinan: Me, Morocco and Jennifer Aniston
Well, poor you! You weren't aggressive enough to just say hello Jen...you have a beautiful hair! Why the 'ell chasing her and not knowing her in person! You are scared--I guess, you have no confidencein yourself I understand, or, you were not so very good looking enough to face Jen and gorgeous Salma Hayek? Paltrow is okay having kids and married but I still like her as an actress. So, what’s the hold up, eh?
Ha ha ha how funny! Jen was playing her hair. I guess she has nothing to play with and at 40, she still looks pretty and beautiful but that somber look! However, hey, you don't know what fate waits you, Jen...10 more years Jen! Ha ha!

On Nov. 24 -- the day before reports of his alleged infidelity first surfaced -- Tiger Woods, 33, phoned his off-and-on girlfriend, 24 year-old Los Angeles cocktail waitress Jaimee Grubbs, and left a message in which he begged her to change her voicemail greeting.
Unforgettable sports scandals: see the slideshow
"Hey, it's Tiger," he says in the voicemail, obtained by Usmagazine.com (listen above). "I need you to do me a huge favor. Can you please take your name off your phone? My wife went through my phone and may be calling you. So if you can, please take your name off that. Just have it as a number on the voicemail. You got to do this for me. Huge. Quickly. Bye."[...]
I'm sorry Tiger Wood--ya got caught! Lie lie liar! You are a shame to your wife who is so devoted to you and look what you did! A**H****! You have no conscience and no respect to you children! A cheater is always a cheater. Shame on you!
Julian Lennon and partners start music company
“I had to be very much at a certain point in my life to be able to accept this and feel it was right to do it now,” Lennon told Spinner. “As many out there know, for a long time I wouldn’t say that I shunned dad or the Beatles, but I certainly side-stepped them and wanted to carve my own path, so to speak. “I think it was coming to terms with a lot of issues I felt I needed to deal with. I went through quite a few issues with dad.” Julian Lennon
That's great Jules! I admire you for doing this and I am sure it is going to be fab!
