Here?s some pretty amazing but hardly surprising news ? Lady Gaga?s debut album ?The Fame? is officially certified as diamond worldwide having sold 10,000,054 copies. As for the singer?s follow-up ?The Fame Monster?, it?s nearly double platinum in the United States. And if the charts are anything to go by, it won?t be long until that garners just as much success too. Congratulations to the princess of pop! She definitely deserves the title after all the achievements she?s gotten in such a short amount of time. And the best thing about it is that I doubt she?s even reached her prime yet. I?m sure there?s still much to look forward to with Lady Gaga.
It seems that the terrifying Earl of Exigency actually had his own fears about getting into the US market when he judged American Idol? or so he claims. This is what one of the show?s creators related about Simon Cowell?s initial reluctance to join the judging team: “We took it to Fox and Rupert Murdoch told his team, ‘You want Simon Cowell, he’s tough. I want it to stay tough.’ At first Simon didn’t want to come to America. We twisted his arm but he was worried they wouldn’t like him. Amazing if you’re going to be nasty that you still want people to like you.” Well, when you run so many ?talent shows?, you do kind of get the idea that people actually take a shine to you. However, it seems that Simon Cowell?s brainwashing techniques have not yet failed him? especially since he?s going to take The X Factor overseas.
