Since 2004, hip-hop artist Kid Cudi has sold over 1.19 million units of music.
Both of the Day N' Night singer's past LPs sold 100,000+ units in the first week. So, yesterday when Cudi's label, Universal Republic, only shipped out 55k of his new (slightly random) rock album, "WZRD's," he got super pissed. Like, that is totes not enough physical copies of the album!
In his moment of furry, Kid did what any self respecting rapper would do: he bitched on twitter.
Cudi told his followers:
"Ok so just a heads up, my weak ass label only shipped 55k physicals cuz they treated this like some indie side project tax right off [sic]."
"So i apologize on behalf of my weak ass major label. And I apologize for the lack of promo, again, my weak ass major label."
Well, if his album sales are as dynamic and creative as his tweets, we understand Universal Republic's decision. LOL!

After his powerful performance in such a moving episode, we're not surprised that he's getting more work!
In the Glee winter finale, Max Adler played student Dave Karofsky, who attempted to take his own life after being humiliated and bullied by his classmates for being homosexual.
We were pleased to see that the show inspired RECORD TRAFFIC for The Trevor Project, and now we're happy to hear that the actor who took on that intense role has landed a new job!
Adler has just secured a role in The Shield creator Shawn Ryan's new ABC pilot Last Resort, which has been described as follows:
"The project...tells the story of a renegade submarine crew who go on the run after defying an order to fire nuclear missiles. The team, lead by Capt. Marcus Chaplin (Men of a Certain Age's Andre Braugher), find refuge at a NATO base where they declare themselves as an independent nuclear station."
No word yet on what role Adler will play, but we'll definitely be going into this one optimistically! He's SUCH a talented actor!
What do U think? Will U check out Last Resort when it premieres???

Star Jones dropped by her old stomping grounds in early February and when the subject changed to her departure, that stirred up a heap of BUZZ!
The former View gurl said she wasn't surprised by the tone of the questions, stating that she "was on The View for nine years" so she knows the deal!
In particular, some thought Babs was going below the belt when she fired questions at Star, but Jones has brushed it all off, saying the following after Walters visited her American Heart Association event:
She doesn’t need to apologize — that’s your problem, that’s their problem, that’s not our problem.
...Barbara and I have had ups and downs over the years...But the best part of this ‘up,’ is we’ve united to help other women and that’s what she taught me.
Under no circumstances will anyone ever get me to trash what she gave to me. What she gave to me got me into a place where I have a platform to advocate for women, so thank you Barbara and thank you for coming.
Awww!
Looks like Star and Babs are one big happy family!

Bernie Mac now has his own street, and we couldn't be happier!
The City of Chicago honored the late Kings of Comedy legend Tuesday by naming a one-block section of West 69th street Bernie Mac Street. The area in Englewood is near where Bernie grew up and attended school.
Mac’s widow, Rhonda McCullough, his daughter Je’Niece, and Jesse Jackson were among the 200 or so to attend the dedication ceremony.
Cheerleaders from his elementary school performed a routine, and Chicago comedians Reggie Reg and Tony Sculfield shared their memories of Mac and his work.
His daughter very poignantly stated:
"I hope this street naming is a beacon of light in this community...It should remind people that they can do whatever they want to do in life."
Well said. He was a warm soul and will always be missed!
