Miley Cyrus, star of Disney’s hit series Hannah Montana, makes her solo debut with the release of “Breakout” on Disney’s Hollywood Records, with her biggest sales debut, scanning over 372,000 units. Cyrus co-wrote 8 of the songs of the smash album.

“Breakout” is the third debut at # 1 for the 15-year-old superstar.

It is now triple platinum with over 3 million units sold worldwide. The highly anticipated follow-up, Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus, a two-disc set from Walt Disney Records and Hollywood Records, debuted at # 1 less than a year later, scanning over 325,000 units, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Miley Cyrus is the youngest ever recording artist with three # 1 albums in less than 2 years.

The build up to the release of Breakout started with Miley’s first single and video “7 Things.” The single soared to # 1 at Radio Disney, and top 5 at iTunes. The video, directed by Brett Ratner, debuted on ABC’s Wonderful World of Disney, rotates on Disney Channel and leapt into the top 5 at MTV’s TRL.

Digitally, “7 Things” has sold over 700,000 units. Eleven songs from Breakout debuted in the Top 200 Digital Tracks chart, with 891,000 digital tracks sold over all.

A woman who will tell you her age will tell you anything.

I’ve gotten a couple of little notes calling me Ms. McSteamy, which is kind of funny.

My beauty routine is basically plenty of sleep and lots of water.

Sometimes I wake up and think, how did I get here?

I love being married more than anyone. It’s what I always wanted. I found the person who’s perfect for me and we have a great time and a great partnership.

Since I was little and wanted to be an actress, I always dreamed of being on Broadway.

Rebecca is just beautiful in Kaufman Franco’s yellow maxi dress. It’s actually getting getting hot in here Ms. Steamy. She knows just what kind of clutch to use and what kind of shoes to wear. Right on!

People Magazine is reportedly the big winner in the battle for rights to publish the first pictures of the Jolie-Pitt babies.

Just Jared claims that People forked out $10-$15 million for the photographs of the couple’s newborn twins.

According to JustJared.com, “People magazine has drummed up the winning bid for the first pictures of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s twins - Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline. It is rumored that the winning bid is between $10 million and $15 million.

“The pictures will come up in a future People magazine issue (but not this week!). The money paid to Brad and Angelina has already been earmarked for charity.”

Nice Matin, the French newspaper that broke the news of the twins’ birth, reports that the handsome payout will benefit the couple’s two charitable organizations: the Jolie-Pitt Foundation and the Make it Right Foundation, a group created to assist in the rebuilding of Hurricane Katrina-ravaged New Orleans.

After spending 173 minutes in a jail cell for DUI-related issues, Khloe Kardashian has now officially developed a flair for spouting advice on drinking and driving.

Which she’s gladly directing at recently-arrested Shia LeBeouf, who was involved in a vehicle mishap in the early hours of Sunday morning in West Hollywood after a night of boozing.

The reality actress was jailed last week for violating probation stemming from her drunk driving arrest in 2007.

According to Us Magazine, Kardashian, 24, tells the Transformers star, “Just be smarter. Think about your actions and get a driver! It’s so much cheaper in the long run!” Cheaper than what?

Coming from a Kardashian, famous for ‘behinds,’ it’s wise advice that should also be given to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.

What does an 18-year-old country sensation have on her mind? Why, same as just about every other teen, of course – school, love and the Jonas Brothers!Taylor Swift vehemently denies the rumors that she and cute crooner Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers are dating. Although, she tells People Magazine, “We’re all friends.”

What has got Taylor more excited about these days is her recent graduation from high school. “Graduating high school is really, really cool,” she says. “I’m so proud of it because I stopped going to high school in 10th grade, but I started home-schooling.  It’s really good to know you don’t have to give up on your dreams to graduate high school, and you don’t have to quit your education to live your dreams.”

Very well said, Taylor! You definitely deserve an A!
