Three Kanye West albums have landed on Rolling Stone magazine's revamped "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list.

The Chicago MC's albums The College Dropout (2004), Late Registration (2005) and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010) joined the authoritative list, with Late Registration placing highest at 118.

In all, 30 albums were added and 30 albums were taken away in the overhaul, which the mag is publishing in 'bookazine' form for sale on newsstands until July 25.

Other albums added include Arcade Fire's Funeral, Arctic Monkeys' Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, Radiohead's Amnesiac and In Rainbows, Jay-Z's The Black Album, Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III and Amy Winehouse's Back To Black.

Many of the cuts were albums deemed 'lesser' works by already well-represented greats, such as The Beach Boys' Sunflower, David Bowie's Changesonebowie, Elton John's Elton John and Madonna's Music.

The Beatles continue to dominate the Top 10 with four albums: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (one), Revolver (three), Rubber Soul (five) and The White Album (10).

When I tell ya’ll s*** be real, s*** be real. I don’t sleep. I make sure my team is good. My family good. I take on other people’s problems. I deal with a lot of s***. This ain’t no rented bus."

A member of boy band The Wanted has apologized for calling The Voice judge Christina Aguilera "a b----."

After the group performed on the singing competition series, member Tom Parker (pictured, third from the left) apparently had an unpleasant encounter with the pop star. "She’s a b----," he said later in an interview with New York radio station 92.3 NOW FM. "She might not be a b---- in real life, but to us she was a b----."

An online flap ensued and, in another interview with TMZ, Parker apologized for the remark. "We shouldn’t have said it, to be honest with you," he said. "We just think manners cost nothing, you know what I mean? The rest of the judges were really nice. She didn’t really look at us or talk to us."

"We apologize for the comment," he added.

Nearly four months after giving birth to daugther Blue Ivy Carter, Beyoncé has publicly reacted to rumours that she faked her pregnancy.

Not long after the pop singer revealed that she was with child during a red carpet interview at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards last summer, persistent reports spread that she and husband Jay-Z hired a surrogate.

"That was crazy. It wasn't hurtful, it was just crazy. [I thought] 'Where did they come up with this?" she told People.

Although Beyoncé brushed aside the conspiracy theories, the rumours upset her mother Tina Knowles.

"I thought it was very unfair and very cruel that someone would think that someone would be that diabolical to keep up a charade like that for nine months," she told People. "As a mother it was painful for me to hear the crazy rumors. And I even had people ask me, which was so ridiculous."

In response to accusations that Beyoncé wore a prosthetic baby bump during a television interview in Australia, Knowles said: "It was a fabric that folded — does fabric not fold? Oh my gosh, so stupid."

What could possibly tempt audiences to catch yet another The Fast and the Furious sequel on the big screen? How about Rihanna?

According to NME, the tabloids are rife with rumours that the pop star has been cast as the villain in the sixth instalment of the popular car chase film franchise.

A source told U.K. newspaper The Sun that producers were impressed by Rihanna's performance in the action flick Battleship and offered her the part.

"Rihanna impressed with her acting debut in Battleship," the unnamed insider said. "Writers think she’ll be perfect for the role. Her character has plenty of bite and doesn’t take any prisoners — just like her in real life. It’s a step up the ladder for her and could lead to bigger action roles."

The sequel will take place in the U.K. and production is set to begin in London and Southend this summer.

Sales of late rapper Tupac Shakur's music jumped significantly in the wake of his virtual appearance at the Coachella Festival.

Billboard reports that his 1998 Greatest Hits album saw an 571% increase in sales with 4,000 copies sold after footage of a hologram of the MC performing during Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's headlining sets went viral.

His albums All Eyez On Me and Me Against the World also saw gains, as did the two songs performed by the hologram: "Hail Mary" and "2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted" (with Snoop) and his Billboard Hot 100 number one hit "California Love."

There have been reports that Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg are in talks to take the hologram on tour, but Dre sought to dispell the rumours during Coachella's second weekend. “It was strictly for Coachella. Get it right,” he said in a video statement. “If a tour happens, we’ll see.”

• Johnny Marr denies The Smiths are reforming

Brandy has premiered a new single featuring Chris Brown. "Put It Down" is produced by Bangladesh and Sean Garrett and will be included on her sixth studio album Two Eleven, which is due out later this year.

The album will also feature collaborations with producers Timbaland, Danja, Mario Winans and Rico Love, hitmaking songwriter Ester Dean and R&B singer Frank Ocean and is her first LP since 2008's Human.

Brandy recently re-teamed with Monica for the single "It All Belongs To Me," the sequel to their 1998 Grammy-winning smash "The Boy Is Mine." The R&B vet was also the subject of an episode of VH1's Behind The Music.

LMFAO have called rumours that they are feuding behind the scenes and on the verge of breaking up "completely false."

Earlier this month, The New York Post reported that tensions over money had arisen between dance-pop duo Redfoo and Skyblu. The cause of the supposed rift was Redfoo getting more $100,000-per night DJ gigs than Skyblu as well as the ginger-coiffed one naming his Las Vegas club residency "Pary Rock" after their number one hit single "Party Rock Anthem."

In a conference call with reporters ahead of their forthcoming North American tour, the duo brushed the rumour aside, Rolling Stone reports.

"It's completely false. We're family at the end of the day. Blood is stronger than anything," Skyblu said, alluding to the fact that he's Redfoo's nephew.

An unverfieid report that seminal British indie band The Smiths are in talks with a "well-known promoter" to reform and tour this fall is untrue, according to guitarist Johnny Marr.

On Thursday (April 26), the British site Music-News.com sent Twitter into a frenzy by reporting that the group would put aside their differences and reunite. The band's chief songwriters Morrissey and Marr have reportedly been offered millions by promoters to reform and tour following their acrimonious split in 1987 but have steadfastly maintained that they have no plans to do so.

As this week's rumour picked up steam, Marr took to his Facebook page to put an end to the speculation. "The rumour of the Smiths reunion is untrue," he wrote. "It's not happening."

In February, Marr told the NME that he would reform the group of the UK's coalition government stepped down - a jab at Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron who is a big Smiths fan.

"We won't be reforming this week. Maybe if the government stepped down. If this government stepped down, I'll reform the band. How's that? That's a fair trade, isn't it?" he said. "I think the country would be better off, don't you? I'll do it if the coalition steps down."

• Brandy talks fatal car crash on 'Behind the Music'

Brandy will open up for the first time about the impact a 2006 fatal car accident she was involved in had on her life during Wednesday's (April 25) episode of VH1's Behind the Music.

"I would hear what people would say, and still to this day they know that that's a button," the R&B singer said. "They know that they can call me a murderer or call me someone that killed someone. They know that is a button for me. A murderer is someone who premeditates it. I didn't wake up that day to be involved in a fatal car crash. I didn't plan for that. And if I could take it back, I would."

In December 2006, the singer and actress was involved in a car acccident on a San Diego freeway that resulted in the death of another motorist, Awatef Aboudihaj. The following year, investigators with the Los Angeles City Attorney determined there was "insufficient evidence" to charge her with manslaughter.

The victim's family members and other motorists involved in the incident later filed a series of lawsuits that she settled out of court.

"I just wanted people to know that this wasn't news. It's not something that should be talked about like it's gossip," she added. "You don't like me? Fine. But don't use this situation to try to hurt me, because the guilt of being involved is enough. It's something that I'll never truly, truly get over. Ever."
