Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber are now unlikely rivals: the two are soaring towards one billion views on YouTube, and whoever gets there will be the first star to hit the mark in the website's history.
Lady Gaga averages 2.5 million views a day on the site, whereas Bieber averages 4 million. In comparison, Kanye West gets 200,000 hits a day, and Michael Jackson nets 600,000 hits a day.
At this rate, Lady Gaga appears to have Justin beat thanks to her head start, and will surpass the billion hits mark around October 20. Justin could match the mark sometime in November. Of course, now that attention has been brought to the "race," fans of both artists will no doubt be vying to bring their chosen artist to the top first.
Jailed rapper Lil Wayne has reportedly been put in an "isolation cell" and had his privileges cut after he was caught with prison contraband for the second time this year.
The hip-hop star is serving a year-long sentence at New York's Rikers Island prison after pleading guilty to gun possession charges.
Wayne was reprimanded back in May when jail officials found he was hiding banned music equipment during a search of his cell. And the musician has been caught with banned items again - headphones and a charger were found in his room, according to TMZ.com.
The website claims Wayne will spend 23 hours a day in an isolation space as punishment and his only out-of-cell time is restricted to visits, religious services and 60 minutes of recreational time. His phone privileges have reportedly been reduced to one personal phone call a week.
Justin Timberlake may be starring in The Social Network, but that doesn't mean he is addicted to Facebook. It fact, it appears to be the opposite. Timberlake plays Sean Parker, who co-founded Napster before advising the creators of Facebook.
"I just don't have that time," Justin says of using Facebook, "And when I do, I'm probably watching Sportscenter."
