Now that Jay-Z‘s new album, The Blueprint 3, has reached #1 on the Billboard chart, a whole huge deal is being made about how Jay has surpassed Elvis’ long held record for the most #1 albums. Guess that was definitely worth coming out of retirement for. But, uh, how does Jay-Z stack up to Elvis in other regards?

It’s new release Tuesday, so it’s time to take the latest tunes for a spin! But first, we’d like to wish Pink a very happy birfday. And ladies, if there’s one thing you do today, it’s gotta be letting Josh Homme and Dave Grohl rock tease you with their new super-group trailer. Man, we can’t wait for them to whip it out! Err, the record. OK, now let’s focus on today, cause it’s got some pretty sweet releases. This week Jay-Z kills it, Mayer Hawthorne is our soul man, A Fine Frenzy drops a bomb, Yo La Tengo has us wanting more, Sondre Lerche makes us like the kinda nova you can’t put on a bagel (aka bossa), and the Vivian Girls rule, boys drool, obvi. So, let’s get into the groove, after the jump!

In an interview with Los Angeles Confidential that just came out, Beyonce says that Jay-Z “is my first relationship.” We were curious about whether she meant he was the first guy she was serious about or if he’s the first guy she’s ever been with, period, so we did a little investigating. According to an interview last year, Beyonce had “one romance when I was 13 to 17, but we didn’t, you know…” And since then, she said she’s only had one boyfriend. At first, we were shocked, but then we weren’t humping everything in sight when we were in high school, either.

Since Beyonce is married to her supposed one-and-only, she probably won’t have to deal with the backtracking other stars have done after making similar statements (not that Beyonce ever said she waited until they were married to jump Jay, but the girl didn’t get around). After the jump, a few famous “virgins” who recanted (or got their words misstated by magazines).

Yesterday, we told you Rihanna supposedly plans to testify on behalf of Chris Brown, but everyday we learn more and more (rumors) about this surprising incident. I wholeheartedly believe she has gone back to him, and they will embark on a tumultuous and violent on-again-off-again relationship. I predict people will eventually stop caring about this pair, but until then, we’ll continue updating folks.

The rumors surrounding Chris Brown’s alleged assault on Rihanna are getting out of control. It’s like all of Hollywood is potentially involved in whatever blowout occurred before the supposed incident, as everyone from Jay-Z to Leona Lewis has been mentioned as somehow “involved.” After the jump, we break down all the rumors—yes, they’re just rumors—surrounding RiRi and Chris Brown’s weekend scandal.

Today on “The Tyra Show”, Ty-Ty had on Beyonce/Sasha Fierce and conducted one of the most annoying interviews of all time, filled with puns and inane questions. But Beyonce did perform both “If I Were A Boy” and “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)”—which Tyra tried to ruin by dancing along—and was such a good sport when Miss Crazy Lady gave her a belated wedding present. Clip above!

“I really don’t believe that you will love the same thing when you’re 20 as you do at 30. So that was my rule: Before the age of 25, I would never get married…. I feel like you have to get to know yourself, know what you want, spend some time by yourself and be proud of who you are before you can share that with someone else.”—Beyonce in the December issue of Seventeen

One of The Frisky staffers is insanely obsessed with what she calls “man noses”—noses that are distinctive, large, masculine, and rugged looking. The antithesis of what Michael Jackson has going on with his beak, basically. Can you identify the man noses above? Cheat sheet is below. Once you think you’ve got it figured out, click past the jump to see our slideshow and find out if you’re right…

Celebrity Man Noses (in no particular order): Tommy Lee Jones, Denzel Washington, Mark Wahlberg, Daniel Craig, Adrien Brody, LeBron James, Cameron Diaz, Harrison Ford, Jay-Z, and Javier Bardem.

As the whole world knows by now, Lindsay Lohan was spotted last Thursday wearing a diamond-encrusted, heart-shaped ring on her left ring finger, fueling rumors that she plans to marry girlfriend Samantha Ronson. Celebrity engagements—and, more importantly, celebrity engagement ring—fascinate us commoners. Because we live vicariously through our favorite celebs, and we’re not ashamed to admit it, dammit! So we decided to take a trip down memory lane to ogle the most notable engagement rings in history.

Ugly can be so cute.  Case in point: Trolls! What girl can resist one of those cuties?  But now that we’re grown up, our tastes have gotten more sophisticated and translated from dolls to men.  We’ve all found ourselves drooling over some piece of ass of our friends would call a “butterface.” Who cares?! So to the guys who are so weirdly sexy they break all the rules of attraction, here are The Top 10 Sexy Ugly Guys We’d Love To Love…

Sometimes, it’s kind of difficult not to be jealous of celebrities. They attend a-list events, get free stuff and usually have someone at their every beck and call. However, we came up with a list of girlfriends and wives that we don’t envy because being in a relationship with their men is way more work than we’d ever want to do in the name of love.

I get that this is to prevent the paps from getting a good picture, but one of my biggest pet peeves is when my fiance walks faster than I do. It’s rude. [New York City, 8/1/08]

It seems that some couples in music, including Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, see a drop in record sales after getting married. Do Jay-Z and Beyoncé need to worry about being less successful now that they’re married? Um, no. Faith Hill and Tim McGraw’s record sales are but one example of a successful marriage coupled with solid record sales. The quality of the album is so much more important than the artist’s relationship status. [Reuters]

As if we already didn’t know that famous people are allergic to birth control and condoms, the New York Daily News is reporting that Beyonce may be pregnant with Jay-Z’s love child and that may explain why they rushed to wed this past weekend. B’s sister Solange famously did the same when she married her now ex-hubby after she got knocked up. Fertile ovaries run in the family! [NY Daily News]
