Guess who's back? Eminem is notching his sixth #1 album in a row with Recovery, which sold more than 741,000 copies last week. Those numbers dwarfed the figures for the all of the rest of the top 10 on next week's Billboard 200 albums chart, as Slim Shady put up the best first-week numbers since 2008, far surpassing year's other big debuts (Drake, Lady Antebellum, Sade).

Proving once again that despite the album's early leak, his fans will still come out to support the Detroit MC, Em's massive haul pushes last week's #1, Drake's Thank Me Later down to #2. Sales for Drake's debut cratered by 65 percent to 157,000, but the melodic Young Money MC still passed the gold mark in just two weeks, according to numbers provided by Nielsen SoundScan.

Miley Cyrus had a rough landing for her more mature Can't Be Tamed, which comes in at #3 on sales of 102,000, less than half of what 2008's Breakout did in its debut week (371,000). And though he still hasn't reached his goal of snagging a #1 debut on the U.S. charts, metal legend Ozzy Osbourne's latest solo effort, Scream, lands at #4 after moving 81,000 copies. It's followed at #6 by the chart bow from the Roots' long-in-the-works How I Got Over (51,000).

In a relatively slow week on the charts, the rest of the top 10 include: Now 34 (#5, 55,000), Jack Johnson's To the Sea (#7, 44,000), Justin Bieber's My World 2.0 (#8, 43,000), Sarah McLachlan's Laws of Illusion (#9, 38,000) and the soundtrack to "Eclipse" (#10, 38,000).

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' Mojo crashes down nine spots in week two to #11, as sales dipped by 74 percent to 33,000. After 24 weeks in the top 10, Lady Antebellum's Need You Now has dropped to #12 on sales of 32,000. Meanwhile, Christina Aguilera's Bionic continues to struggle, as the singer's latest slips out of the top 10 after just three weeks, dropping to #22 as sales trailed off by 54 percent to 18,000.

One of Aguilera's collaborators, singer Sia, debuts at #37 with We Are Born (11,000), while soul mama Macy Gray is right behind at #38 with Sellout (11,000). As the world marked the one-year anniversary of his death, Michael Jackson's Number Ones collection rockets up more than 50 spots to #42 on sales of just under 10,000 (one of several Jackson titles to march back up the charts this week). Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil comes in at #47 with his solo covers album, Tattoos & Tequila, a title that might seem unfortunate given his arrest for suspected DUI this week in Las Vegas.

Over on the iTunes charts, Eminem holds down both #1 slots, topping the singles tally with the Rihanna duet "Love the Way You Lie" and the albums chart, after just missing the top spot last week following just one day on sale. Drake trades spots on the album list, dropping down to #2 as Cyrus settles in at #3, followed by the Roots, Johnson, Glee: The Music, Journey to Regionals, Osbourne, "Eclipse," McLachlan and B.o.B's B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray. (iTunes does not release sales figures.)

The former #1 on the iTunes singles charts, Katy Perry's "California Gurls," slips to #2, followed by B.o.B.'s "Airplanes," Travie McCoy's "Billionaire," Usher's "OMG" and newcomer Mike Posner's "Cooler Than Me." The top 10 is filled out with Jason Derulo's "Ridin' Solo," Em's "Not Afraid," Taio Cruz's "Dynamite" and Drake's "Find Your Love."

Eminem may be able to hold the Billboard crown for another cycle, as next week's contenders include The-Dream, 3OH!3 and Scissor Sisters.

'As long as Emma and Rupert weren't shooting up too quickly either,' star tells MTV News of falling few inches shy of Harry's height in books.

In J.K. Rowling's universe, Harry Potter isn't a giant but he's eventually described as slightly taller than average as the series progresses. So what did the actor who's become synonymous with the wizard think of playing a character whose proportions don't quite match his own? Daniel Radcliffe tells MTV News he wasn't too concerned — but with some conditions.

"I didn't get particularly worried because as long as Emma [Watson] and Rupert [Grint] weren't shooting up too quickly either, I'd look [fine]," he told us earlier this month at the opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios. "We'd all look relatively [the same height]. It was all going to be OK," Radcliffe added.

Still, Radcliffe admitted he wouldn't mind adding a few inches to his real-life frame.

"I was worried on a personal level because I wanted to be slightly taller than I am, ideally," he explained. "But I've now accepted it. Basically, I've came to the conclusion a while ago that you can either be really bitter about it or you can make loads of funny jokes."

What kinds of jokes, we asked.

"When I meet people now and they all say, 'God you're so much shorter than I expected!' I always say, 'No! I'm actually slightly further away than you think,' " he smiled, adding, "Which confuses them."

Can you imagine anyone besides Daniel Radcliffe playing Harry? Tell us your thoughts in the comments!

'I was actually in the studio with Chris Brown for a little bit,' Drake tells 'Extra'

With T-Pain keeping a relatively low profile and Lil Wayne midway through his yearlong incarceration, Drake has stepped up over the past year as the king of collabos: He's dropped bars on records by everyone from Jay-Z and Timbaland to Mary J. Blige and Trey Songz. The Toronto MC shows no signs of slowing down either, as the star recently disclosed that he's been "studio hopping" and even jumped in the lab with Chris Brown.

"Tonight, I've just been in the studio. I was actually in the studio with Chris Brown for a little bit," Drake told "Extra" on Tuesday. Fresh off of a big night for both stars at Sunday's 2010 BET Awards, it appears Drizzy and Breezy were not content to bask in the buzz and headed straight for the studio shortly after.

Drake didn't mention what, if anything, he and Breezy were cooking up but he did say that he went on the hunt for other possible collaborations. "Then I was studio hopping, seeing where I could lend my hand to whoever's project since I've done mine."

The studio session is not the first time that Drizzy and Breezy have crossed paths. Brown's ex Rihanna was once rumored to have rebounded with Drake following the pop couple's highly publicized split; a report that Brown once addressed in song and that Drizzy denied was true. However, Brown and Drake have also publicly appeared cool with each other, with Breezy showing up to Drake's Thank Me Later listening event earlier this year and briefly filling in for Drizzy during a 2009 Young Money tour date in Virginia.

Season two premieres on Thursday, July 29, at 10 p.m.!

"We're ready to come out and destroy this place!," Snooki says in the brand-new trailer for the second season of "Jersey Shore," which premieres on July 29. And from the looks of this footage, it seems these reality-show stars accomplished that goal in Miami.

There's the Situation and his boys fist-pumping in a strobe-light-filled club. There's Snooki and JWoww doing the robot in their private booth. There's Ronnie in a hot tub filled with scantily clad ladies. Punches are thrown, curses are unleashed — and what the heck is Snooki doing wearing a floppy sombrero on her head?

Who knows? The "Jersey" crew may be spending part of their second season in the sweat-soaked beaches and clubs of Miami, but their shenanigans are the same never-know-what's-gonna-happen-next stuff we came to love during the show's first season. And the only way to keep up with what's going on with everyone is to tune in for the second season premiere on Thursday, July 29, at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

This trailer promises that you won't want to miss what happens. Ronnie and Sammy have fallen into a tension-filled pseudo-relationship, with the muscle-bound dude calling Sammy his girlfriend one minute and making out with two girls the next. But as Pauly D says, "I love single Ronnie!"

The cast seems to have less love for Angelina, who dubbed herself the Kim Kardashian of Staten Island last season before bailing on the show. Now she's back, and at least at the start, no one is pleased. "You're the kryptonite to my f---ing tan," declares Snooki.

What else? Well, there are hookups, there are fights, there are family bonds, there are the Situation's abs. It's sure to be a crazy season. But no one can sum it up better than Snickers herself ...

"Pretty much every night it's a party," she declares. "You better buckle yourself in!"

Season two of "Jersey Shore" premieres Thursday, July 29, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. Be there!

Theaters from Finland to the Philippines held early screenings of 'Twilight' movie.

The wait ended at midnight, and as MTV News can attest, the lines fans eager to see "Eclipse" snaked around theaters in New York and Los Angeles.

Those two metropolises weren't the only places beset by "Twilight" fervor. Deadline Hollywood reports that theaters in Boston, Washington D.C., Detroit, Cleveland, Denver and Salt Lake City were mobbed at midnight. So too were the theaters holding early screenings in countries like Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Brazil, Mexico, the Philippines, Belgium, Netherlands, Poland, Hungary and Finland.

At this point, "Eclipse" ranks as the widest domestic release in history as it opens in 4,416 theaters in North America — besting the record set by "Iron Man 2" earlier this year. Four thousand of those theaters held midnight screenings, Deadline reported, and several theater chains also had 3 a.m. screenings to meet public demand. IMAX was expected to hold 3 a.m. screenings in 120 of its theaters.

In the run-up to release, fans were also taking precautions against widespread sellouts, as "Eclipse" pre-sales spiked. Fandango reported that the vampire flick accounted for 91 percent of ticket sales on Tuesday, after staying in the site's top five since the pre-sale started in mid-May.

By the end of the weekend, "Eclipse" should have a staggering box-office haul. Early tracking suggests a three-day-weekend gross of as much as $140 million, with a six-day purse of up to $180 million.

Those are monster numbers, no doubt, but when you listen to how excited fans are, it's really not that surprising at all.

"I'm really excited," Oladayo Idowu, told MTV News outside a theater in New York. "I'm here for [the midnight showing], so I'm surprised my mom even let me out! I've been waiting for this movie since I saw 'Twilight.' I'm going to see it again and again and again."

50 is 'surrounded by a lot of controversy like myself,' fighter tells Mixtape Daily.

Celebrity Favorites: 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather

50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather are as cool as Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh. The lethal combination recently hung out in Los Angeles and sat down with MTV News. Their friendship is so genuine that a lot of times, when they have a conversation, they cut each other off before a sentence can be completed.

"MTV should be actually paying me for this," 50 smiled, sitting next to Money May.

"50 Cent is one of my best friends," Mayweather said. "He's a great person, great guy. He's very controversial. He's surrounded by a lot of controversy like myself. In the rap game he's taking on all comers. In the fight game, I'm taking on all comers."

"All comers!" 50 added. "You know what people mistake about Floyd? When he says 'money.' When he makes reference to money, it's not like he doesn't have a passion for the actual art form of boxing or the skill, because he's obviously the best fighter out there. And they still can't find anybody out there who can beat him."

One man many boxing experts and fans feel can give Floyd a run for his money is Manny Pacquiao. They came close to fighting earlier this year, but the fight was canceled because the fighters couldn't agree on the drug testing. Mayweather has demanded Olympic-style drug testing for the fight and Pacquiao says no. All boxing fans, including 50 Cent, are hoping they can come to some sort of resolution.

"The thing about that situation is this," Mayweather began before 50 chimed in.

"We gon' beat him up. He gon' beat him up!" the Queens MC exclaimed.

"If we don't take the test, if the athlete is cheating, then we're cheating the fans," Mayweather said.

"Why would that [drug testing] be a problem if you wasn't cheating?" 50 opined. "I smell something dirty."

"If you clean, then take the test," Mayweather said. "I'm a clean athlete. [Sugar] Mosley stood up, he took the test. So of course we want him to stand up and take the test. You do your homework on him. I wish him nothing but the best. Me, myself, I'm living my life. I'm comfortable, I'm happy."

For the record, Floyd says his "next fight is life." As for what Mayweather is listening to right now, we defer right back to the G-Unit camp. The champ says he's a fan of Lloyd Banks' "Beamer, Benz or Bentley."

"That's the hottest record out right now," Mayweather insisted. "Something different. It made me go out and buy the Supersport Bentley."

This holiday weekend in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Mayweather is hosting an All White Celebration with Vibe magazine.

50 Cent is continuing to work on new music.

We track the progress of 'Paranormal Activity' sequel, from first film's debut to new teaser trailer.
By Josh Wigler

You thought the cameras were off. You thought the ghosts were gone. You thought the nightmare was over.

You were wrong.

The first teaser trailer for "Paranormal Activity 2" premiered online on Wednesday (June 30), offering a startling way to start the day for working stiffs across the country. But even though it feels like the horror sequel is emerging completely out of left field — indeed, it was less than a year ago that the lucrative cult phenomenon first hit theaters — there have actually been several moves behind the scenes to bring "Paranormal 2" to the big screen.

The real surprise with "Paranormal Activity 2" is the fact that the film even exists. The original Oren Peli-directed film was nothing short of an astonishing Cinderella story, filmed on a shoestring budget of $15,000 and going on to make close to $200 million worldwide. "Paranormal Activity" caused such a stir that ancillary merchandising unspooled almost immediately after the film's release, with talk of a sequel following shortly thereafter.

Of course, getting the "Paranormal" sequel off the ground wasn't without some false starts. The sequel was first announced with Michael R. Perry tackling the script and Kevin Greutert directing the film, while original director Oren Peli moved on to film a new horror film, "Area 51." But Greutert was soon removed from "Paranormal 2" due to his contractual obligations to direct "Saw VII 3-D." Rumors ran rampant regarding Greutert's successor, with "Scarface" director Brian De Palma connected to the job at one point. Ultimately, Tod "Kip" Williams won the role.

The director's chair wasn't the only vacant position that needed filling — the "Paranormal" sequel needed stars, too. Actress Katie Featherston, who was nominated for an MTV Movie Award this year for her "Paranormal" performance, expressed some skepticism about returning for the sequel when she spoke with MTV in May.

"I don't know. I'm waiting to hear," Featherston said. "If they had a way to put me in there in a way that would be reasonable and make sense — I don't know how they'd do that — I'd definitely be down for it. If I get that phone call, I will be there. I will be scared or happy or whatever they want me to be."

Actor Micah Sloat seemed to know much more about the status of "Paranormal 2" than his co-star, despite his character's tragic fate at the conclusion of the first film. "I know a lot I can't tell you," Sloat told MTV News in March. "All I can tell you is I'm very excited for the project, it's really cool, it's gonna be really interesting and it's not gonna suck, which most horror sequels ... would. This is gonna be good."

Sloat touched on a key difference between the two "Paranormal" films: while the first movie was filmed cheaply as a necessity, "Paranormal Activity 2" has access to a far greater budget thanks to its predecessor's success. "We we have money now, but we're staying true to the heart of the movie, to the spirit of it, to the vision," he said at the time.

Judging by the recently released trailer, it's clear what Sloat meant in terms of staying true to the vision: the franchise's unique camera perspectives remain intact, if evolved. The scares are sure to deliver as well. Certainly, there are several key details remaining to be filled when it comes to "Paranormal Activity 2," but there's one thing that requires no explanation: The sequel's very existence owes everything to the first film's outpouring of fan support.

"If our fans didn't go online and 'demand' that the movie expand to their own cities, it wouldn't have gone anywhere. If you didn't spread the word on Twitter and Facebook, and tell your friends and family they had to see it for themselves, no one would have cared. It was because of you that 'Paranormal Activity' expanded from city to city, and eventually — when a MILLION of you demanded that it open nationwide — it finally got the wide release we'd been dreaming about for years," director Oren Peli said in a statement released to MTV earlier this year. "Looking back on everything, I can truly say that it was your passion and enthusiasm that made it all possible."

Twilighters at the movie's midnight screening call this the best of the three 'Twilight' movies.

We're not sure if you've heard, but "Eclipse" is out now. Fans all across the U.S.A were already lining up for midnight screenings on Tuesday night to be some of the first to catch the third film in the "Twilight Saga." MTV News caught up with New York City Twi-hards before the show, and we were also on hand to talk to Los Angeles fans as they streamed out of the theater.

The consensus among the West Coast Twilighters we spoke to is that David Slade's take on the vampire tale rocked.

"Best movie! It was actually the whole tent scene. Love the tent scene; it was a battle between Edward and Jacob. It was amazing! I loved it," Elisse Mendez raved to MTV News. "I would actually have to say this is one of the top films that has come out so far. 'Twilight' was good. 'New Moon' was good, but I think this was better. Jacob — this time around he was such an amazing actor."

Patrick Seitz said he had been hoping Slade would bring his prior vampire expertise to the film, and he wasn't disappointed. "I actually surprisingly liked it. I think this is the best of the bunch. I did [like the end], although I feel bad for Jacob because every time he does stuff, I know what's coming," he said. "I like the love triangle. I like the tension. I thought it was a good ending."

Morgan Jones admitted that the end made her cry. Her pal Heather Jones added, "Loved it. This one's so much better! I wish I could watch it again right now. The acting was better, the writing was better. There weren't so many long pauses. It was like it moved. It was an action film."

Fans named the long awaited tent scene and the film's conclusion as highlights. "The ending of the movie was really great," Carissa Odenberg said. "I want to see 'Breaking Dawn.' It makes you want to see the next one."

Her friend Anthony Ortiz continued, "It had a lot of action. Best movie so far of the 'Twilight Saga.' I like the details. All the detail was good. I really enjoyed it."

"It was awesome," Cary Lockwood said. "It was better than I thought it was going to be."

Angie Llorena added, "It was better than the first two combined. It got my adrenaline pumping. It was very cool, exciting."
