0Way to go Loso.
Fabolous Leads TheWay On Billboard Chart
Loso's Way debuts at #1
Fabolous will have his way with theBillboard 200 charts next week, when his latest, Loso's Way, snags the top spot in a quiet week of album sales. According to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan, the Brooklyn MC will easily nab the top spot as the only debut in the top 10, with sales of almost 99,000.
The rest of the heap will remain largely unchanged, with Daughtry'ssophomore effort, Leave This Town, resting comfortably again at #2 (62,000), a resurgentMaxwell hanging onto the #3 spot withBLACKsummers'night (55,000), followed by the Now That's What I Call Music! 31 compilation (#4, 53,000) and the Black Eyed Peas'The E.N.D. (Energy Never Dies) (#5, 49,000). While most of the usual suspects in the top 10 suffered either double-digit declines from the previous week or marginal losses/gains, band of brothers (and cousin) Kings of Leon continue their upward march with Only by the Night, which saw a 21 percent increase in sales to 47,000 and will move up two spots to #6.
While Fab can celebrate his #1 debut in the top 200, over on the Comprehensive Albums chart, he'll have to settle for being #2, asMichael Jackson's Number Onesonce again leads the overall sales parade with sales of 114,000 in a top five still dominated by three of the late pop star's albums, including Essential Michael Jackson (#3, 69,000) and the iconic Thriller (#5, 59,000).

0G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra' Cheat Sheet: Everything You Need To Know
G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra' Cheat Sheet: Everything You Need
To Know
After nearly two decades in various stages of development, "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" is finally here. But will the adaptation fly like "Transformers" or fizzle like "Thunderbirds"?
Before you head to the theater to make up your own mind, don't forget to read over our cheat sheet — tracking the past, present and future of the franchise while giving some titular shout-outs to a few of our all-time favorite Joes.
Chuckles
Does anybody even remember Ripcord enough to know that he wasn't African-American? What's with Breaker's new Robocop monocle? For these and other laughs, check out this piece comparing the '80s "Joe" characters to their counterparts in the new film.
Cover Girl
All the stars of "G. I. Joe" claim they were fans of the cartoon as kids — except Sienna Miller, who admits she didn't have much knowledge of it growing up in Britain. Instead, she considered Action Man as her hero.
Breaker
Way back in 2006, producer Don Murphy broke some news (and a lot of fanboy hearts) by making it sound like there would never be a live-action "Joe" movieafter Sony had passed on it for fear of post-Iraq hostilities toward the U.S. military. Two years later, a movie was on the way — and executive producer and Hasbro COO Brian Goldner was revealing some big news about the tie-in toys.
Gung Ho
A lifelong "Joe" fan, Channing Tatum originally wanted to play Snake Eyes, but settled for Duke knowing the fans would be keeping a close eye on the film's authenticity and committed so fully to the flick that he even put his honeymoon on hold to promote it. Speaking about how hard-core all the boys were about playing their former toys, Joseph Gordon-Levittbased his Cobra Commander on the cartoon series.
Heavy Metal
Ever since the '60s, "G. I. Joe" has been about selling all those wonderful toys. It's no surprise, then, that the new film gives us such cool new props as Destro's mask and Snake Eyes' sword.
Mainframe
When we visited the set a little while back, we watched "G.I. Joe" filming — but saw little that was reminiscent of the "Real American Hero" incarnation from the '80s.
Quick Kick
The whole cast underwent extensive training, and it shows in such action scenes as the big Eiffel Tower attack and the "Wanted"-esque scene in which the rookie Joes experience their accelerator suits firsthand for the first time.
Roadblock
"The Rise of Cobra" has encountered many obstacles during its production that have so far kept it from rising very high. Among these was a Super Bowl ad that proved underwhelming (check out our shot-by-shot analysis of the ad), fear over the casting of funnyman Marlon Wayans and a disastrous response to the leaked images of a bondage-club-looking Cobra Commander. Oh, and those rumors about director Stephen Sommers' getting fired didn't exactly help matters. Ultimately, however, the reviews seem to be more positive than expected, and one of our resident experts has been liking what he's seen.
Sgt. Slaughter
One of the film's highlights is sure to be a girl-on-girl throw-down between Miller as an accent-less Baroness and Rachel Nichols as Scarlett. Who says "G.I. Joe" is only for boys?
Rock 'n' Roll
It all began with the likes of Dennis Quaid and Channing Tatum, and the "Joe" role call grew from there. Although the look of Duke, Ripcord, Heavy Duty and the rest had a decidedly "Matrix"-like appearance to them, some fans (and leather enthusiasts) have seen their outfits as more appropriate than those of the cartoon show.
Sci-Fi
From the accelerator suits to the heightened-reality stunts to the suits, gadgets, and high-tech action, this "Joe" never set out to be realistic — but then again, who knows what the military is secretly up to? Let's just hope that if there really is a Cobra Commander out there, his time is as occupied as Joseph Gordon-Levitt's was getting into costume every day.
Spirit
If "Joe" is a hit, the spirit seems sure to live on. Sienna Miller and Rachel Nichols are in for a sequel, as is Marlon Wayans — as long as it's not a parody. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, meanwhile, promises that the first film will leave us wanting more.
Thunder
The film has been thundering all over the world as it built buzz in Tokyo andLondon, but according to our weekend poll, the movie might have trouble outselling ... "Paper Heart"?
Major Bludd
The most popular character in the "G.I. Joe" universe has always been Snake-Eyes, so it's no surprise that genre favorite/ martial-arts expert Ray Park became a fan favorite for the role — and after landing it, he was determined to keep the black-clad badass tough, tender and silent.
Dr. Mindbender
Why was Joseph Gordon-Levitt so terrifyingly excited about "G.I. Joe" being "AWESOME"? Why did Gordon-Levitt and di Bonaventura compare Cobra Commander to Heath Ledger's Joker? Did Brendan Fraser dress up in a camouflage vest and put a tattoo on his chest? The answers to all this and more can be found at your local movie theater — and knowing is half the battle.

0America's Most Wanted Tour
Lil Wayne And Young Jeezy's America's Most Wanted Tour Adds 10 Dates
Tour, which also features Soulja Boy Tell'em and Jeremih, will now continue through September.
The extension could be bittersweet news for Drake. The lyricist might be tempted to hop onstage for the extra dates despite his recent leg injury. The breakout star was one of the original headliners on the bill, but after suffering a knee injury, he was dropped down to a special-guest spot during Lil Wayne's set. The Toronto MC joined his boss and company at the first two stops in Pennsylvania, but reinjured himself in Philadelphia. Video of his fall, which showed Drake writhing in pain, circulated online.
At the next stop, in New York, Lil Wayne announced to the crowd that his protégé further injured ligaments in his knee and would require surgery. Drake missed the New York date and the following stop in Virginia, but on Tuesday, the upstart surprised his hometown when he popped up during Wayne's set in Toronto. The singer was joined by Trey Songz for Drake's underground hit "Successful."
Drake spoke to MTV News prior to the tour's kickoff and admitted he was taking a gamble by performing, but he said he didn't want to let his fans down.
"I didn't really get any approval from my doctor, but I made a personal decision 48 hours ago that I'd be letting a lot of people down if I didn't show up and at least show them I'm there for them," Drake explained. "For the last two weeks, I've been really going hard, getting all types of acupuncture, trying to bring the swelling [in my knee] down. I'm walking around — no cane. I'll put a brace on it tomorrow night. No one will probably even know I'm injured."

010 things Men find sexxy in a womens purse.
Having a woman around is a great thing, mainly because they carry a purse. It’s not the purse that I love, it’s the stuff in the purse. A really resourceful date will have almost anything you need inside of her purse. Word of advice to the fellas, if you’re on a date w/ a woman and she doesn’t have something you need in her purse… dump her! LMAO Just kidding here are 10 things women carry in their purse.
10. Mints – You never know when you’re going to need a mint, or some gum. After dinner at your favorite restaurant you might need to freshen up a bit and sometimes the pocket of a man isn’t always built for gum or anything other than a wallet. So this comes in handy on a date. Hell I’ve seen women pull out mouthwash.
9. An Extra Pair of Panties - Some women keep them in their goody bag in the trunk of their car, but in the city, cars are optional. So an extra pair can come in handy if you decide to get it popping in a dark alley late at night.
8. Shoes - Almost every woman I know will keep a pair of comfortable shoes in her purse. Those sexy cinderella type of shoes she has on to impress him on a date will come off by the end of the night if the two of you had fun! Best believe she’s going to get comfortable and change her shoes.
7. A Bottle of Hot Sauce – Whether it’s franks, Texas Pete or Bull you never know when you’re going to need hot sauce or when your man will need some. So be a good wifey and keep some hot sauce on you.
6. A Rat Tail Comb – Because braiding hair, or a track malfunction can take place at any time in Urban America and with the price of gas so high you might have to do some hair on demand just to get home.
5. MAC lip Gloss – This is needed especially if you’re involved with a dude like me because you never know when you’ll have to re-do your lips. If you know what I mean
4. Smart Phone/Cell – For ordering Chinese food, checking your email or posting a blog, sending a tweet or making an emergency booty call. Hell you might just need to call for back up.
3. Wet Wipes - Some times a simple napkin won’t do the job and if you ever decide to have a mid day rendezvous then you’ll need to freshen up in a hurry and this can hold you over until you get to a sink.
2. Condoms - Lets face it a lot of these toddlers are here because there were no condoms available. That snot nose kid in your neighborhood that you know will grow up and try to impregnant, sell drugs to, or rob your child is a direct result of no condom-assness
1. Box Cutter - At some point of your life, you’re going to have to cut a flicker. Slice slice slash slash. A b*tch in your face? Cut em, she looking at your man? Cut her. Dude grab your booty in the club slash him. Play pimping in the parking lot? Slash his tires when he’s not looking. Remy needs company.
