Kris Allen Sells 80,000 First Week, Earning Weakest Debut Of Any “American Idol” Winner

Kris Allen may be an American Idol, but his debut album sales are nothing to idolize.

The Season 8 champ’s debut album sold a disappointing 80,000 in its first week, landing at No. 11 and earning Kris the weakest debut of any Idol winner, Billboard has learned.

In fact, last season’s Idol runner-up, Adam Lambert, is expected to outsell Allen with his own debut. Lambert’s For Your Entertainment is reportedly on its way to a 225,000-selling release following the star’s controversial performance on last weekend’s American Music Awards.

Is Adam Lambert Too Hot for TV?

After his racy American Music Awards performance, Adam Lambert is at the center of a new controversy over sexuality and censorship. As he said on "The Early" show today, "It's up to the parent to watch the television, maybe TIVO it and watch it before your kids ... I'm not a babysitter, I'm a performer."

Dog works at Florida gas station. Seriously.

I love animals. I have pets, I enjoy scratching dogs under the chin and saying things like, “Who’s a big man” to them. But one place I don’t want to see a dog? Working at the convenience store in a Florida gas station, like this furry gentleman.

An unsuspecting customer pulls up to the drive-through window. But instead of a store clerk, up pops two paws, deep brown eyes and the tongue-flapping grin of a happy chocolate Labrador retriever named Cody.

Kids in the back seats of minivans often squeal with joy.

Even the usually stony faces of gruff construction worker-types can’t help but crack a smile under the dog’s unpretentious greeting.

“He hears the bell and goes running. When he pops up, that sets it off,” said Karim Mansour, the store’s and dog’s owner. “Uncontrollable giggling.”

“Oh, he’s adorable,” said customer Candy Thompson when greeted at the window by Cody. “Oh, he’s such a big lover.”

That is fairly adorable. But is this dog taking jobs away from hardworking Americans? We can’t allow that. What next, a dog coming up with pithySource: Blog of Hilarity RSS Feed

Michael Phelps Tax Debt $23,289

Champion swimmer Michael Phelps has landed himself in hot water again – this time the Golden Boy is facing the wrath of the Tax Man. A tax lien filed last year has revealed that Phelps, 24, owes the State of California $23,289.16 for returns filed in 2005 and 2006.

It looks like Phelps is going through a rough patch.

Last February, a snap of the Charm City native smoking marijuana through a pipe was leaked to the British press. The athlete later apologized and was slapped with a 30-day suspension. In August, Phelps was fined $40 for carrying an invalid driving license after a motorist plowed into his Escalade in Downtown Baltimore.

Nicole Kidman’s weird lips, boobs & attitude freak people out

The other day, I mentioned that I thought Nicole Kidman was looking better than she has in while. She was showing off her classic red hair and a less severe looking face, which I was happy to see. I did, however, note that she’s still doing some crazy junk to her lips, but overall, I gave her, in my mind, a “most improved” sticker. Of course, that was before Nicole appeared with her husband at the Country Music Awards on Wednesday night. Apparently, Nicole may be photographing lessSource: Cele|bitchy RSS Feed

Victoria Beckham Buys David A Micro-Pig, Apparently

In a story we’ve had to read a few times because it’s so unlikely-sounding (while also checking the date to absolutely make sure it’s not April Fool’s Day), apparently Victoria Beckham has bought a pet pig. Yes, the woman who doesn’t “do” casual, and who’s so impeccably groomed at all times we imagine her kids are terrified of getting a sticky hand on her skirt, has given a miniature pig as a present to hubby David.
