Janelle Monae Makes MJ Fave By Charlie Chaplin "Smile"

Said to be one of Michael Jackson's favorite songs, and sung lovingly at his memorial a year ago almost exactly by his brother Jermaine, this week's Mashup Monday goes all the way back to 1936 to famed silent film comedian Charlie Chaplin's bittersweet "Smile" as sung sweetly with a jazzy twist by hip-hop/R&B/pop mashup-unto-herself Janelle Monae.

Composed as a theme for a key moment in Chaplin's classic Great Depression-era movie "Modern Times," the last of the great silents and a commentary on the pitfalls of fully industrial 20th century life, "Smile" is one of those few songs that became a standard, recorded by everyone from the big-band era well into the age of hip-hop.




"Emotionally, I've been connected to this song for quite sometime," says Bad Boy artist Monae of why she chose to cover this song written nearly a half century before she was born. "It's one of those classic standards, it's been sung by a lot of the greats, Stevie Wonder to Nat King Cole to Judy Garland to Frank Sinatra."

It was Wonder's version, recorded in 1962, that was her introduction to the song; it made her cry the first time she heard it.

Michael Jackson, of course, also covered the song on his 1995 album "HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I." And the song was so important to the King of Pop that it was sung at his memorial.

Katy Perry Remains Parked At No. 1 On Hot 100

Katy Perry holds at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a second week with "California Gurls," featuring Snoop Dogg, and further distances herself from the pack as the title takes both the Airplay and Digital Gainer awards. Downloads improve 11% to 353,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan, while listener impressions surpass the 100 million mark (105.2, up 18%), according to Nielsen BDS. Perry is the first female artist to claim simultaneous gainer awards while residing at No. 1 since Alicia Keys, with "No One" on the chart dated Dec. 1, 2007.





Usher remains at No. 2 with "OMG," while maintaining its No. 1 standing for a third week on Radio Songs. Also holding in place on the big chart is "Airplanes" by B.o.B featuring Hayley Williams at No. 3.

Travie McCoy and Ke$ha swap spots as the former's "Billionaire" bounces 5-4 and the latter's "Your Love Is My Drug" dips 4-5. Meanwhile, Lady Gaga's "Alejandro" returns to its highest ranking (7-6). "Break Your Heart" by Taio Cruz featuring Ludacris falls 6-7.

When you start your chart life at No. 1, there's nowhere to go but down, but Eminem finds a way to rebound (11-8) with his former chart-topping debut "Not Afraid." Digital pre-order placement for the June 21 release of his album "Recovery" spurs downloads (up 11%) for the set's leadoff track as does increased radio play (up 7%), lifting the song back into the top 10 of the Hot 100 after a one-week respite.

Rounding out the top 10 are The Black Eyed Peas' "Rock That Body," which hold at No. 9 and Drake's "Find Your Love" which improves 13-10. "Love" is Drake's third top 10, all as a lead vocalist. He also visited the region with "Best I Ever Had" (No. 2 peak last July) and "Forever" (No. 8 in October).

Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith, star of the nation's No. 1 box office film "The Karate Kid," team up on the chart's top debut, "Never Say Never," at No. 33. The song, which plays during the closing credits of the film, sells 76,000 and opens at No. 15 on the Digital Songs tally.

The "Glee" season has come to an end and the cast goes out on a consistent note for the year, with five more entries on the Hot 100, led by "Faithfully" at No. 37. The troupe's first Journey cover, "Don't Stop Believin'" also re-enters the chart at No. 59 as the "Regionals" rendition performed during the season finale accounts for 84% of the title's 50,000 total downloads. "Believin" debuted at No. 4 on the Hot 100 in June 2009 and re-entered the list once before in September. In total, the song has spent seven weeks on the chart.

While some may ultimately remember the constant blaring of the vuvuzelas as the sound of the 2010 FIFA World Cup being contested in South Africa, a pair of songs emanating from the tournament are making chart noise. The competition's official song, "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)" by Shakira featuring South African group Freshlyground debuts at No. 44 with 56,000 downloads. The track was performed during the Kick-off Concert in Johannesburg, broadcast by ABC on June 11, as was K'Naan's "Wavin' Flag" which moves 26,000 and re-enters at No. 90.

With her album "Bionic" now at retail, and opening at No. 3 on The Billboard 200, Christina Aguilera debuts at No. 66 with the title track, while re-entering at No. 75 and No. 99 with "Not Myself Tonight" and "WooHoo," respectively. She performed the three tracks medley-style on the MTV Movie Awards June 6 and collectively they sell 96,000 downloads.

Lil Jon returns to the Hot 100 as a lead artist for the first time in over four years as "Hey," featuring 3OH!3, hops on at No. 70. The rapper last helmed an entry when "Snap Yo Fingers" peaked at No. 7 in May 2006.

Other debuts dotting the chart are Ne-Yo's "Beautiful Monster" (No. 67), "If It's Love" by Train (No. 89) and OneRepublic's "Secrets" (No. 98)

2010 FIFA World Cup Teams - Uruguay

Uruguay will be playing in its 11th FIFA World Cup in 2010 in South Africa. Uruguay hosted and won the first FIFA World Cup tournament in 1930. Uruguay also won the 1950 FIFA World Cup in Brazil (beating the hosts by 2 goals to 1 in the final). Uruguay also played in the 1997 FIFA Confederations Cup tournament in Saudi Arabia and finished in 4th place. Uruguay is currently ranked at number 19 on the FIFA rankings. Uruguay have played in 40 Copa America tournaments. They competed in the competition for the first time in 1916 and have won the Copa America trophy 14 teams over the years.

The Uruguay national football team has 3 nicknames, "Charrúas", "La Celeste Olímpica" (The Olympic Sky Blue) and La Celeste (The Sky Blue). The current head coach of the Uruguay national football team is Oscar Tabárez. This former player has been managing football teams in Europe and South America since 1980. He took up the Uruguay coaching position in 2006 after a spell of 4 years at Argentinian football club Boca Juniors. Rodolfo Rodríguez is the most capped Uruguayan footballer in history. He played for Uruguay in 79 matches between 1976 and 1986. He does not have a single goal behind his name because he played in the goalkeeper position. Héctor Scarone is the highest scoring Uruguayan footballer in history. He scored 31 goals for his country in 52 matches between 1917 and 1932. He was also the manager for Real Madrid (in Spain) between 1951 and 1952.

Uruguay achieved its biggest win in footballing history in 1927 when the team beat fellow South Americans Bolivia by 9 goals to 0. The country suffered its biggest loss in footballing history in 1902, losing by 6 goals to 0 against Argentina. Uruguay will be one of the teams to watch in the 2010 FIFA World Cup in my opinion. They should not be underestimated. They should make it into the last 16 stage of the competition. Uruguay will play in the following 3 group matches in 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa:

* 11 June 2010 - Uruguay vs France @ Cape Town Stadium - Kickoff at 20:30
* 16 June 2010 - Uruguay vs South Africa @ Loftus Versfeld Stadium, Pretoria - Kickoff at 20:30
* 22 June 2010 - Uruguay vs Mexico @ Royal Bafokeng Stadium, Rustenburg - Kickoff at 16:00

Miley Cyrus Pantyless Pictures Fake, Says Perez Hilton

Billboard News
http://www.billboard.com/news

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton on Tuesday sought to defuse a media furore he created by posting a picture on his Twitter account that seemed to suggest teen pop star Miley Cyrus had been photographed without wearing underwear.





The snapshot showed the "Hannah Montana" Disney idol, 17, climbing out of a car while wearing a short, white dress. The space between her legs was pixilated and carried a "warning" notice in Hilton's Twitter posting, which has some 2 million followers.

Although the photo was later removed, it sparked a flurry of news reports and talk among celebrity watchers over whether L.A.-based Hilton could be prosecuted for distributing child pornography, given that Cyrus is still a minor under U.S. law.

In a video riposte, Hilton said the controversy was as fake as the photo because Cyrus was "clearly wearing underwear."

"Do you think Miley is that stupid to be out in public without panties?" he said. "Do you think I am stupid enough to post a photo of Miley if she is not wearing any underwear down there?"

Hilton said he had posted the photo to highlight the "very unladylike fashion" in which Cyrus was getting out of the car.

The blogger's stunt coincides with moves by the teen singer to shed her squeaky-clean Disney image by releasing a raunchy music video for her new single "Can't Be Tamed," pretending to kiss a female dancer on stage and wearing figure-hugging black bodices.
