You Are The Worst dot Com

After weeks of public rivalry between 50 Cent and Kanye West about whose Sept. 11 album release would sell more copies, West’s “Graduation” has pulled into a six-figure lead over 50’s “Curtis” (G-Unit/Interscope), based on projections from representatives at the four major labels. Read our initial coverage of the album debuts here. That data indicates “Graduation” leads with 781,000 units, followed by “Curtis” with 603,000.

More than a week ago 50 Cent had claimed he would retire from making solo albums if West won the sales battle, but he maintains the race is still early and there is no concrete winner just yet and speculates that sales of “Graduation” will falter after the initial hype.

Fast-forward one week now, 50 Cent has now changed his tune about his threat to stop rapping suggesting on the Hot 97 radio station, if West outsells him he would instead go round for round, matching G-Unit releases with Def Jam’s. Oh have the table turns and I guess he isn’t a man of his word after all.

In likely fashion, he fails to blame himself for his mediocre release yet directs his attention to the lack of promotional prowess of his label Interscope.

“As far as the VMAs were concerned, Kanye received the upper hand. I ain’t going to front,” he continues. “He had four looks — his song “Stronger,” his new record “Good Life,” he had a performance with Soulja Boy, “Crank Dat,” and then he came out with me. So I feel like Def Jam is doing a better job of promoting the CD than Interscope. Interscope is just relying on my base and the actual music. I was on the VMAs for one minute and 20 seconds. I should’ve just stayed home.”

Kanye Defeats 50 Cent On U.K. Album Chart

Kanye West won the U.K. battle in the worldwide war of the rap superstars as “Graduation” entered at No. 1 on the album chart ahead of 50 Cent’s “Curtis.”

Meanwhile, country star Kenny Chesney has failed to outsold either artist, as many estimated would be the case, dishing approximately 232,000 copies out. Poor Kenny Chesney.

Final sales figures will be published on Wednesday (September 19) and stay tuned for further updates.

It’s been a great week long learning experience starting up this blog especially dealing with the difficulties of learning the Wordpress interface. I have had prior web designing experience so all things are coming together slowly and updates are becoming easy and breezy. As my blog’s intention is to attempt to show you, the reader, how to profit off the internet all the while being entertained with the latest news, it is my duty to list every Friday my earnings for the week.

I am still tinkering with the placement of the ads however from general feedback, the advertisements do not seem to bother most and the majority found the ads to neatly blend in with the content and layout. I still have not submitted my site to popular sites nor have applied any search engine optimization techniques and any marketing campaigns at the moment are non-existent as I am relying strictly on word-of-mouth referrals to generate traffic for the time being.

Items to be addressed in the next short while:

• Fix RSS feeds issue.
• Fix sidebar display error with Internet Explorer due to the MistyLook template’s unique layout.
• Submit the website URL to popular search engines.
• Add links after each blog entry for users to bump to popular social networking sites: digg, technorati, etc.
• The most important issue would be writing more detailed articles dealing with money.

Total Payouts to Date Since September 9, 2007:

• AuctionAds: $25.00
• Google Adsense: $4.62
• Bidvertiser: $3.81
• Text Link Ads: $0.00
• AGLOCO: 7 Signs-Ups to date
• Grand Total: $33.43

I expect this number to dramatically improve as traffic and the site grows complementing an effective affiliate and marketing campaign. Stay tuned for regular continuing status reports on my earnings.

Furthermore, be sure to check out the “Make Money Online Now” tab at the top of the screen to begin your journey into capitalizing off the internet and feel free to leave comments and suggestions!

The Toronto International Film Festival is in town and the town is abuzz with all the celebrities on hand for the festivities. Commonly written stories include star appearances in and around town, at their movie premiers and at fancy shmooze parties. Not often will you hear of a feel good story such as this recent story which has generated a lot of press due to the sheer charity and compassion given.

Megastar Hollywood actor, Colin Farrell, basically took a street pan handler with him (to which they’ve only met once before) and went out to spend $2,100 on clothing and related apparels at an upscale store but also goes out of his way and pays rent for an entire year to an apartment in a highly concentrated part of town. Talk about a life changing experience and being there at the right time.

What I’ve learned and thoughts regading this story:

• Hollywood Actors/Actresses are rich as hell.
• Being a bum actually pays well?
• Colin Farrell isn’t as big of a douchbag as the media portrays him to be.
• Colin Farrell and his PR firm know how to generate great publicity.
• Its sad that there aren’t many other stories like this being told.
• Street pan handlers know how to survive as witnessed by his purchases at the store.
• This will get you a lot of female fans (not that he needs anymore).
• Stress is now unemployed as no one will give anything to a nicely dressed bum.
• Other homeless folks will take notice and try to capitalize on similar techniques in order to strike gold.
• Colin Farrell and his PR firm know how to generate great publicity.

I’m pulling for the homeless man but is it truly better to change one person’s life entirely than to have a small effect on a larger number of lives by donating to charity? Colin did the right choice changing a man’s life instead of purchasing that $35,000 Jaeger LeCoultre Watch. If you think hard about it, its a win-win situation for both individuals in many more ways than one.

What are you saying?

For those living “the good life,” potential Aston Martin DBS owners will now have the opportunity to remotely start their $330,000 sex-on-wheels with their time piece and more. Famed watchmaking company, Jaeger LeCoultre, just released their limited edition $35,000 AMVOX2 chronograph model boasting “over 200 parts to its casing and an equal number in the watch movement itself,” along with transponding electronics giving the owner the ability to lock, unlock, and remotely start their vehicle through their svelte wristwatch. Potentially millionaires take notice, your automobile of choice should be approximately 10 times the price of your current wrist watch.

All I have to say is that the watch is simply breathtaking however I will have to pass on this particular model and will wait for version 2.0 with the laser and flame-thrower add-ons.
