Taylor Swift Sells 1 Million Albums In A Week

Taylor Swift joins the ranks of Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Britney Spears and N'Sync in the "Million in a Week" Club.

Her Speak Now is estimated to have made the mark, putting her in elite status made even more significant by declining album sales in the music industry overall.

Taylor Swift's record album sales are ...
well-deserved. She's great!
baffling. She's overrated.

Audrina: 'Heidi's Singing Career 'Disappointing''

She may be all for supporting her friends on The Hills, but when it comes to cheering on the budding musical career of Heidi Montag, Audrina Patridge isn't exactly her costar's No. 1 fan.

"I feel like Heidi, you know, she's doing it for fun, where a lot of singers and people, they work their ass off, and they actually have amazing voices and they can really sing and perform, and I feel like a lot of people don't get to experience what Heidi has, going on in front of a billion people and perform on TV," Patridge told PEOPLE while promoting her new movie Sorority Row over the weekend. "I just don't think she's taking it that serious, and that's what's kind of disappointing for me, for music lovers out there."

But the 24-year-old beauty – who says Montag's Miss Universe performance was "very Britney Spears-like" – has plenty of positive opinions about her own foray away from reality TV and into acting for the silver screen.



"On the movie, I went to my acting coach twice a week and I memorized all the lines," she says of appearing with Rumer Willis in the slasher flick Sorority Row. "On The Hills, you show up for an hour and say what you want then leave."

Of course, embracing the Hollywood life also means having to deal with some fairly outlandish rumors about herself.

"[They say] that I was pregnant. Another one, that I got a nose job, that I got a chin job, cheek implants, I mean my whole face," she says of false reports about herself. "You know sometimes, when they stick a video camera in your face and they try to provoke you with questions that are just really … sometimes I get like, 'What are you talking about?' But I'm very lighthearted and I just try not to take things too serious."

Spencer Calls Heidi "the New Michael Jackson"

Meet the new queen of pop?

Spencer Pratt tells MTV's The After Show that his wife is the "new, modern day, 2010 Michael Jackson."

When host Jessi Cruickshank points out Jackson is dead, Spencer gestures to Heidi and says, "Yeah, but here it is, it's living, like the holy spirit. "Like, Michael Jackson's in heaven," he continues. "The Holy Spirit now has Michael Jackson juice, so boom! For all we know, Heidi gets possessed with Michael Jackson's divine spirit."

"So Heidi is the new Michael Jackson?" Cruickshank questions. "Oh, way bigger," Spencer asserts.

Jackson isn't the only pop icon Heidi has been channeling.

"I grew up watching Britney Spears. That's someone I aspire to be, you know, like, career wise," Heidi said. "I think the world is ready for the next pop star and I'm ready to be the next pop galaxy, so here we go."

Spears vs. Montag: Who Wore It Better?

Heidi Montag Pratt's flesh-toned pants and bra combo from the Miss Universe pageant reminded us of rather famous outfit worn by Britney Spears.

During the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, the 'Circus' superstar ripped off a layer of clothing to reveal her very nude costume.

Now, we know that Britney Spears, even these days, can kick Heidi's butt when it comes to performing, but as far as the outfit goes..

Whitney Port was eliminated in Round 1 - beat out by Marisa Miller who had 90% of the vote. Well, that's understandable, she was on the cover of Sport's Illustrated! Better luck next time, Whit!

Lauren Conrad, you are.. SAFE! Lauren beat out talk show host, Kelly Ripa, for a spot in Round 2 where she will go head-to-head with 40-year-old, Helena Christensen.

As expected, Audrina Patridge is still in the competition. She won Round 1 against Katy Perry. On to Round 2: Eva Longoria Parker. That might be more of a challenge.

Heidi Montag just barely made it! She received 51% of the vote, Britney Spears got the other 49%. Next she will be competing against Ali Larter.
