- South Park are on our new cover, on stands everywhere on Friday! Go here to peruse our picks for the top 25 moments from the show, and be sure to come back tomorrow to read excerpts from the feature story, including the semi-scandalous photo that’s gonna rock Tom Cruise’s world.
- Former American Idol contestant Chris Daughtry continues to triumph with his debut solo album Daughtry. The album reached the Number One spot on the charts this week, selling 89,901 copies. Norah Jones is still up there (at Number Two) but we won’t talk about that. Akon is now up at number three with his album Konvicted — it sold 73,457 copies this week. Meanwhile, the Silversun Pickups album, Carnavas, sold 9,937 copies this week, jumping from 118 to 80 on the charts, and increasing sales by 38 percent, which is, you know, a lot. They sound exactly like the Smashing Pumpkins, but it’s a good way to sound.
- Joel Madden is apparently accosting photographers. According to TMZ the rocker shoved a photog who got too close while Madden and his girlfriend Nicole Richie were trying to leave Mr. Chow.
- Awww, Nikki Sixx has apparently spoken out with words of support for poor post-partum-suffering, substance-addicted, custody-battling Britney. Sixx expressed confidence in the pop star’s ability to get better, saying, “We all rise out of the ashes. Either that or we die right?” Well put.
- Matt Wachter, who plays bass in 30 Seconds to Mars, apparently announced his departure from the band. The bassist wants to spend more time with his family, (which is French for “I can’t look at Jared in eyeliner anymore.”)
