Billboard.com reports that the last album with "pimp" in the title that charted was Pimp C's "Pimpalation," which hit No. 3 in 2006. The site also notes that "butterfly" is a rare word for a No. 1 album, last seen in Mariah Carey's "Butterfly" and Bob Carlisle's "Butterfly Kisses (Shades of Grace)," both of which came out in 1997.
Released March 16, the acclaimed "To Pimp a Butterfly" is Lamar's first No. 1 album. 2012's "good kid, m.A.A.d city" peaked at No. 2, selling 241,000 copies. "Butterfly" debuted with 363,000 equivalent album units, which represent copies sold as well as individual tracks purchased and streamed via services like Spotify and Google Play. Lamar saw the year's second-highest debut to date, behind Drake's surprise mixtape, "If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late," which sold 495,000.

I am doing as well as can be expected and I will work hard to make a full recovery.”
The Pacers organization said in an accompanying statement that the 31-year-old forward is in “stable condition” in New York City. He has already undergone surgery for the injuries he sustained during the attack. (ESPN's Chris Broussard has separately reported that Copeland has fractured his elbow during the incident.)

MTV Is About to Get Fancier! Iggy Azalea Named New House of Style Host

Iggy Azalea Iggy Azalea may be having the best year ever! MTV has just announced that the breakout artist has been named the new host of MTV s iconic fashion series House of Style. After years of honing her signature style on hip-hop’s underground circuit, Azalea burst onto the charts in 2014 with her smash hit Fancy  featuring Charli XCX. The song currently holds the record on the Billboard Hot 100 as the longest-leading No. 1 song by a female rapper, after it topped the chart for seven weeks.
Not only is Azalea a star in the music world—collaborating with the likes of Jennifer Lopez, T.I., and Ariana Grande—but she has hit it off with the fashion crowd as well. Azalea emerged as a sartorial star both on and off the red carpet, rocking looks by Elie Saab, John Galliano, Emilio Pucci, Roberto Cavalli, Alexander McQueen, Moschino, and more. Clearly, she will be a fitting host for House of Style, which explores the relationship between music and fashion and connects fans with celebrity style setters and designers to explore new trends.
The biggest impact that House of Style had on pop culture is its ability to make fashion fun and interesting to fans who are both diehard fashionistas or not at all, Azalea said in a statement. I am so excited to bring back this iconic show for another generation of teenagers.
On the series, the rapper will take viewers everywhere from L.A.’s best vintage stores to a music video set with Rita Ora and designer Jeremy Scott. The eight-episode digitally driven season will kick off on Aug. 4, and will culminate during the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards (in which Azalea is up for seven awards).

Check Out Carrie Underwood s Adorable Baby Bump at the CMA Awards

Carrie Underwood is radiant on the red carpet!
Underwood—who announced via Instagram back in Semptember that she is expecting her first child with husband Mike Fisher, didn t let her pregnancy stop her from going all out at the Country Music Awards. The co-host (alongside singer Brad Paisley) and nominee for Female Vocalist of the Year, chose a shimmering golden beaded gown by Lorena Sarbu to debut on the carpet, showing off just a mere peek of a baby bump. For her hosting duties, she changed into a plethora of other gowns, proving that her pregnancy is perhaps even adding to her outfit ADD.

The country star, 31, and Fisher, 34, (an NHL player for the Nashville Predators) married in 2010. This will be their first child together.

Is This Jennifer Aniston s New Signature Color?

Jennifer Aniston in Giambattista Valli See All Photos Move over, LBD! Jennifer Aniston has a new sartorial love—the LWD (little white dress). After an impossibly chic streak of super-glam outfits, like her sequined high-slit Saint Laurent gown at the Globes or her daring one-shoulder Antonio Berardi dress, Aniston went and did a 180 on us with a design unlike anything we ve ever seen her wear.

At the Los Angeles premiere of Cake, our February cover girl went the girly route and stepped out in an achingly sweet (as sweet as cake!) cut-out Giambattista Valli LWD with a darling bow detail at the neckline, scalloped edges, and a floral-print skirt. For the finishing touches, she accessorized with delicate Jennifer Meyer jewelry and patent black Christian Louboutins.
Is the the beginning of the end of Aniston s LBD streak? Or was this a one-off thing? Only her next red carpet appearance will tell. Either way, can we all agree she looks exceptionally stunning?
