MISS TLC SAYS: So in total, Michael Jackson has sold another 810,616 albums in total this week alone (788,019 in the top 10 listed above, and the 20K+ throughout the rest of the chart). He now holds every spot in the top 10 on the catalog chart, and there has even been an unprecedented jump in sales in 6 of those albums since last week! The #1 album listed above (Number Ones) has made a 215% increase in sales by itself (yes you read that right). Wow.
[SIDENOTE: Catalog Albums are any album that has been out for longer than 18 months, so unfortunately, even if they're selling the same amount as current albums on the regular top 200 chart, they are listed on this chart instead.]

A Miss TLC New Video Alert: Britney Spears - "Radar"
MISS TLC SAYS: Nothing special, but it's still good to see her making normal videos again (not bizarre low-budget "Gimme More" kinda stuff).

A MISS TLC BREAKING NEWS ALERT!!!
Diprivan found in Michael Jackson's home! So sad, tragic, major, and scary. The Attorney General is now involved because Diprivan is a powerful sedative that can not be distributed in a pharmacy and can only be administered in a hospital.
Story developing. You can read it from the Associated Press here.

Me In A Cab
MISS TLC SAYS: It was VERY cool of NBC to do that and get those out so quickly. Aw. I agree!
For past editions of "Me In A Cab", just type that whole phrase (with quotes) into the search bar at the top of this page. Each of those posts shows a pic taken by Miss TLC in a cab with a random thought to go with it. Believe me, it's worth it. ;)
A Miss TLC New Video Alert: Drake - "Best I Ever Had"
Directed by Kanye West and filmed @ Bishop Ford High School in Broooooooklyn:
MISS TLC SAYS: I think the speech part is hilarious. "'The Mighty Ducks' didn't embarrass Emilio Estevez!" Of course, the boys probably won't even get the humor in this vid, and the girls will just hate on the blatant eye candy, but I think it's hella funny. "But you only ever taught us to stretch!!!" Ha.
PS.....
I thought this was Rihanna for a hot second at the beginning at the video and was like "WHAT?!?!?! He got her sprung like that?!?!!!?" 
Ha.

A Former Best Friend Of Michael's Speaks "Today"
MISS TLC SAYS: This is all so interesting. His kids REALLY seemed to be well-adjusted in these photos and videos. And EVERYONE who knew him well always stresses that he was a VERY good father, and that those children were his life. It makes it all even sadder. I actually watched this live on the "Today" show this morning, and the way that Michael spoke and seemed so grateful in the video they showed of him grocery shopping (when Alan got them to close down a supermarket for him) was so touching. It's nice to know that he had somewhere to escape and feel safe with "normal" people though, even it was just temporary. This guy really seemed to care about him too, trying to give him everyday experiences and all, and letting him let his guard down when he stayed at his compound. Aw.

Who's That Girl?
MISS TLC SAYS: It's Mariah Carey on the set on her new video "Obsessed". Hmm... I'm guessing the character in the hoodie is supposed to represent Eminem in some ways??? Maybe...
Jackson Worth
MISS TLC SAYS: Who knows if this is true but I'm hoping for the best here. They say Jackson was dead broke when he passed away, but with his share of the Beatles catalog, his "antiques and collectibles", and the lightning sales of his own vast catalog since last Thursday, I'd think that was impossible. Then again, he was quite a spendthrift so you never know. We shall see what happens as this drama continues to unfold...
A Miss TLC New Video Alert: Cobra Starship featuring Leighton Meester - "Good Girls Gone Bad"
MISS TLC SAYS: I think this takes Leighton's well-known character Blair Waldorf to the next level. She still uses some of Blair's cute glances and looks as a singer, but you can tell that Leighton is more fun, carefree, and loves to dance (Blair seems a little too uptight for all of that). Then again, we do know that Leighton can be a bit of an exhibitionist as well (*cough* alleged sex tape *cough*), so I'm not surprised. Very good look for her though!
A MILLION Dollar Score On "Antiques Roadshow"
Excerpted from a Reuters piece on Yahoo.....
NEW YORK (Reuters) – A woman who inherited some Chinese carved jade from her father has scored the first $1 million (601,557 pounds) appraisal from experts on the U.S. television program "Antiques Roadshow," the producers said on Monday.
In a record for the show, four pieces of Chinese carved jade and celadon from the Chien Lung Dynasty (1736-1795), including a large bowl crafted for the Emperor, were given a conservative auction estimate of up to $1.07 million.
MISS TLC SAYS: Wow. I would love to inherit a random item worth a million dollars. This is a really interesting show if you ever get the chance to watch it.
