  • Will Pippa Middleton Become the Newest 'Today Show' Correspondent?

    Apparently, Pippa Middleton made such an impression on NBC after sitting for an interview last summer that the network has been courting her for a job. Kate Middleton's younger sister taped an interview with Matt Lauer for "The Today Show" that aired in June and the ratings were spectacular. The numbers confirmed what the network had already known: Americans love royals, even if they are only a married-in extension of the monarchy. Kate's marriage to Prince William has caused enormous interest in Pippa and NBC is hopeful that they will be able to add her as a new correspondent to Today.According to a new report by Page Six, Pippa has been working on a test piece in Utah and, if all goes well, then it will sign her to do special reports on subjects like health and fitness.

  • T-Pain Drops the Autotune for New Track 'Let Me Through' Featuring Lil Wayne [LISTEN]

    Even though T-Pain recently proved to the world that he can in fact sing without the use of his signature Autotune —and quite well — he drops the singing entirely for his new track “Let Me Through,” which he raps his way through alongside none other than Lil Wayne, sans-Autotune. The track premiered on "Sway in the Morning" — which explains the annoying “Sway in the Morning Exclusive!” interjections throughout — and features some refreshingly minimal and unfussy electronic production.You can check out T-Pain and Lil Wayne’s “Let Me Through” here, via "Complex":“Let Me Through” is the just the latest in a long line of T-Pain/Lil Wayne collaborations, which includes hits such as “Can’t Believe It” and “Got Money.” It is not yet clear if this is a standalone single or if it will be included on T-Pain’s upcoming studio album "Stoicville: The Phoenix," which still has yet to be given a release date.

  • Taylor Swift Is the First Artist to Sell 1 Million Albums in 2014

    2014 has been a down year for record sales, and that is putting it lightly. While the industry has been moving toward streaming as computer technology heads up into the cloud, 2014 was poised to not have a platinum album released. In steps the music industry's pop/country queen bee Taylor Swift to the rescue, who not only beat expectations for what her first-week album sales would be with "1989," but absolutely crushed them. She is the first artist to sell 1 million albums in 2014.As per Swift, industry experts predicted she would move 650,000 copies in the first week, but she almost doubled that mark. According to "Billboard," she shot her way up to the top of the Billboard Top 200 chart with an astounding 1.287 million copies sold.

  • While the Republican Party Swept the Midterms, the Political Canvas Will Likely Swing Toward the Democrats in 2016

    The Republican Party was hopeful heading into yesterday's midterm election — with good reason. President Barack Obama's approval rating has hit an all-time low with even those who voted him into a second term often wondering if it was a mistake. Americans tend to favor making big, sweeping changes, and by late last night, as the numbers across the country were tallied, the Republican sweep was being referred to as a "wave."The GOP was able to seize control of the U.S. Senate by picking up at least seven seats previously held by Democrats, a wishful goal that had previously eluded them since 2006. The Republican Party also won 13 U.S. House of Representatives races, expanding its already sizable majority to at least 241 seats. That is the most seats the party has held since the days of President Herbert Hoover. The number of Republican governors will also greatly outnumber that of Democrats when Inauguration Day rolls around. People wanted change, and for now they will have it.Here's the thing: Since Americans like change so much, and it is going to take more than two years for our nation to feel different, there is a good chance that for every seat a Republican flipped last night, a Democrat will flip it back in 2016. Basically, the GOP has two years to pull off a miracle or people's rallying for change will actually put the Democrats in great shape for having serious control.

    Teresa Giudice has spent years turning her family into a money-making brand only to lose it all because of her purposeful deception. "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star got the shock of a lifetime last month when not only was she sentenced to 15 months in prison, but she also learned that she would have to serve her time before her shady husband Joe Giudice serves his. Teresa now has to turn herself in to authorities Jan. 5 and she has purposely devoted the weeks leading up to that date to her family, putting up a unified front.

According to a "Radar Online" report, Joe's admitted alcoholism has gotten considerably worse since sentencing: He is reportedly drinking with friends and avoiding being at home.
