How NEAT is this Archie MEETS Glee!
BuzzFeed has debuted Dan Parent’s cover for Archie #641, the first issue of a storyline in which the Riverdale gang meets the cast of Fox’s hit musical comedy-drama Glee. The image is kind of odd, in that it looks as if someone may have gone in after the artist to touch up the faces of Glee characters Rachel, Finn and Quinn. See the full cover below.
Announced in July, the crossover is penned by comics writer and Glee co-producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and illustrated by Parent, and arrives on the heels of publisher’s much-publicized “Archie meets KISS” storyline.
“If you go back to the beginnings of modern music, if you will, with Elvis and moving forward with the Beatles and [Bob] Dylan – they established culturally the tone of what’s going on in the country,” Archie Comics Co-CEO Jon Goldwater told Comic Book Resources. “That’s what I’ve been trying to establish in Riverdale. The characters stay the same, but Riverdale changes. And as musicians change in the culture, they can seamlessly integrate into comic books.”
Archie #641 arrives Feb. 27.
Sales Predictions Are In: Brandy’s ‘Two Eleven’ Set For #2
Brandy is making a beeline for the the Billboard 200 this week. The singer’s ‘Two Eleven’ LP was released this week to much critical acclaim.
Now, with a day’s sales under its belt, the first projections for the set have been released. And it looks like Ms. Norwood is on course for a high placing on the tally.
According to Hits Daily Double, the ‘Put It Down’ led album is poised to debut at #2 on next week’s count, with sales of…
65,000 – 70,000
Country star James Aldean is presently in the lead with his LP ‘Broken Bow’. The LP is set to open with blockbuster sales of 385-410k.
Granted some sects have been anticipating more, there are a number of facets to consider; the most prominent being that it’s an R&B album in 2012 (hence is impressive given the context) and that she has many a promotional stop left to go before the week’s end. These include Good Morning America, Wendy Williams, Bravo’s Watch What Happens Next, and more. So, there’s every chance – as seen with Pink last month – for the estimates to be revised higher.
And in the event they don’t, hey slow and steady wins the race, right? Given the nature and genre of the album, Gold is a reasonable goal-post, one Brandy could and should reach should the promotional push remain consistent over the next few weeks and months.
For now…Your thoughts?

DISGUSTING: California Woman Breast Feeds Her Pug Dog (Warning NSFW)
This photo may be offensive or graphic to some. Where in the hell is Peta when you need them? Terri Graham, a mother of two, didn’t breastfeed her children. But, doesn’t mind loaning a “breast” to her dog.
Via HP
In an interview published in the Oct. 20 U.K. edition of Closer magazine, Graham, 44, said that she knows some people might consider her a “freak,” but insisted that her breastfeeding nourishes the dog, and makes her feel like a better mom.
“Having Spider suckle on my boob means I finally feel complete and a better mother,” Graham told Closer.
Graham, who is from California, claimed that the dog developed a taste for breast milk in 2010 after licking the nipple of a bottle she had pumped for her then-newborn son. She says she has breastfed the dog for about 2 years.
Has Bravo Given Atlanta Hairstylists Their Own Reality Show?
Rumor has it that there's a fancy press release floating around that Atlanta has another Bravo reality show special in the works. Reportedly called, 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Hairstylists Tell All', the show features friends of 'The Realhousewives of Atlanta' — Lawrence and Derek J (who both regularly style Kim Zolciak and Sheree Whitfield). The way the rumored release is written, is that the special will be show, where:
well-known Atlanta hairstylists and friends of the Housewives, Lawrence and Derek J, take a trip back in time to showcase some of their favorite moments from the Atlanta women. Women tell their hairstylists everything and Lawrence and Derek J are ready to share their colorful insight, present their favorite clips, and spill the "tea" (beans) on the ladies before the November 4 season premiere.
Reportedly, it airs Sunday, October 28th, at 9 p.m. EST. What do we think? We think that it's probably a special that helps build buzz around RHOA and if the viewership is good enough–Bravo will create a spin-off (but hell, what do we know?). To date, no official announcement has been released from Bravo's PR camp, HOWEVER, we must ask–would you tune in?

Evelyn Lozada Dragged by Jump-off and Shaded by Chad Johnson's Mother
Chad Johnson was flirting on Twitter as usual when an Evelyn Lozada fan tried to come for Chad's potential jump-off for messing with a married man.
For whatever reason Evelyn joined the conversation and was promptly dragged by the jump-off and shaded to hell by Chad Johnson's mother...
"@EvelynLozada please pull up the heart monitor app on your iPhone & take a deeeep breath before you collapse a lung, grandma. You don't know anything about me or anything about what you think you're watching. It's healthy to see you're spending your "new" time, "new" energy, "new" growth & "new" outlook on Twitter all day, though. You're quite the muse. I literally don't have time for your character defects & your energy doesn't exist in my world. Best of luck to you, I mean that. #allthewaybye"
That's when Chad's mom jumped in to congratulate the jump-off for snatching Eve's wig.
Oh this is too much!

Back On The Grind: Brandy is on the cover of VIBE Vixen!
Brandy’s long-awaited album “Two Eleven” has finally been released. If I say so myself it’s pretty damn HAUTE!! The old brandy is back. I haven’t heard good music in a LONG TIME and her album is packed with hits. I was a little confused when she released “Put It Down” with Chris Brown because, I was unsure about the direction she’d go in… Would it be pop? R&B? Soul? What??!!
But, it’s safe to say she is on point this time. Brandy covered Vibe Vixen’s October cover issue.
In the lastest isssue of VIBE Vixen, Brandy said
“It’s amazing that people still have a love for me and still feel like they can relate to me. It really does keep me on my toes, just being a role model for young girls, but I am grown. I gotta sing for the grown people sometimes.”
Here are a few of the questions she answered:
What was the realization that you were ready to make a strictly R&B album?
That’s what my fans wanted from me. I felt like that was my way to reintroduce myself to them and introduce myself to people that don’t even know me. They’re supporting me and it feels good. I took my daughter to the Mindless Behavior concert and 10- to 16-year-olds are screaming to the top of their lungs when I’m walking in. I started doing music before they were born! I just remember asking some little girl, ‘How do you know me?’
It’s widely known that Two Eleven means a lot to you. It’s your birth date but also the date of Whitney Houston’s passing. What runs through your mind when you recall that day?
February 11th will never be the same. I think about her everyday but that day in particular, it’s different. I didn’t understand. I had just seen her the day before; I just spoke to her a couple days before she passed. It just didn’t seem right the way she passed. I was angry, I was confused, but as I started to process it all, I just started to feel like there was a responsibility that she passed on to me to stay true to [the music]. She gave me the dream and possibility, and I have to do that same thing for other people. This music thing is not just about me anymore. It’s about the people that I’m relating to. People need music.
Not only have you stepped back in the music realm, you’ve been exercising your acting chops as of late. How was the transition back?
It was scary and natural. When I impressed my acting coach [Tasha Smith], I felt like I could go forward. She really helped me rediscover that confidence in my acting. I was blessed with “Drop Dead Diva” then Chardonnay for “The Game.” I really had to get in there and do my thing if I was going to fit in with them. I just trusted my instincts, the same way I did with “Moesha.” To be able to trust that again was great, and I’m happy I get a chance to possibly go back to “The Game” full-time.
Are you excited to work with Lauren London?
Yes! I’m obsessed with Lauren London because she’s so damn cute. I’m excited to work with her and to see her new character, but I’m going to miss Tia [Mowry]. She was such the anchor and backbone of that show.
VIBE Vixen is on stands now!
