Lady Gaga was the queen of the music charts this year, and with two top-selling albums, the eccentric performer has been named Billboard's top artist of 2010!
Not since Chris Brown's chart-busting success back in 2006 has a performer risen from new artist to top artist that quickly. Leave it to Gaga to break even more records. Loves it!
The rankings are based on Billboard's year-end music recaps, and Bad Romance is only one of four Gaga songs that made the Hot 100 Songs roundup.
Taylor Swift is Billboard's #2 artist of the year. We have a feeling she's celebrating, and sharing, her success with new beau, Jake Gyllenhaal. Cute!
The Top New Artist award has been given to Ke$ha. Her trashtastic tune TiK ToK spent nine weeks at #1 on the weekly Hot 100 list.

Let's hope Joel Madden is ready for his big wedding day because we have to admit, he looks mighty worried.
The Good Charlotte frontman is walking down the well-protected aisle with his ladylove and mother of his two children, Nicole Richie. Joel seems focused on getting his last minute shopping done in Beverly Hills before this weekend's lavish ceremony ... set to take place at Lionel Richie's estate.
As for the vibe of the wedding, sources close to the couple tell us exclusively that Nicole and Joel have requested rental furniture from Revelry Event Designers with a "vintage and earthy" vibe. Also on the list of rentals ... "lots of wood pieces and leather."
Sounds rockstar chic ... perfect for the happy couple!

Who knew Halle Berry was such a big fan of popcorn?
The gorgeous 44-year-old actress visited Jay Leno and was given a huge tub of a caramel corn cheese mix from her favorite place in Chicago, Garrett's ... and it was enough to give her an orgasm! Well, at least it was a good attempt at the real thing.
After munching on a few pieces of popcorn, Halle tells Jay:
"I can polish off that in one movie, you have to take a caramel and a cheese together, it's a mix - it's orgasmic."
Something tells us that Garrett's is going to see a rise in sales! We'll just call it The Halle Effect. Hopefully beau Olivier Martinez was already on to this.

Our poor girl Brit didn't look that happy yesterday, despite having a Happy Juice in hand.
Even her best bud Starbucks couldn't put a smile on her face after her "best birthday ever" in Puerto Vallarta with her "boyfriend" Jason Trawick over the weekend.

Jennifer Lopez and crew shot a spot for an upcoming American Idol episode yesterday in Westwood. And as hot as this girl looks, we're told she is anything BUTT a diva.
Our snapper said, "Jennifer was just chill -- she was joking and laughing with Steven Tyler and the crew. She was air kissing Randy Jackson but it was cute. She was totally a regular girl who just clocked in to work and was ready to have fun."
Wha wha what?! In silk pants, $500 sunglasses and a fur jacket? Hey, if she can keep it real in an outfit more expensive than most people's mortgages, go for it!
Oooh, and check out J Lo's new album cover for Love. Loves it!

Kate Hudson's kinda rocker-girl, hippie-chic, boho-beauty and we all know what that means ... she doesn't wear a bra!
We caught up with Kate after she'd had lunch at a Beverly Hills cafe yesterday and the actress was looking sweet in her heart rhinestone-embellished aviators and striped top.
Sure, an off-the-shoulder number like this could be supported by a strapless push-up but come on ... would Kate Hudson really bother with that? Even though she's got those two new accessories on her chest, she's still letting them weigh her down with something as unnecessary as a brassiere!

It may not be a Harley, but Orlando Bloom sure looks hot on this two-wheeler! Who knew the Aussie hunk knew how to do stunts?!
Orlie took his new super-expensive Santa Cruz Nomad bike for a spin yesterday. While the base price is around $2000, our source at the bike store tells us Bloom got at least $1000 in upgrades.
I doubt we'll see him parking that thing outside of Starbucks!
