Michael Jackson‘s posthumous new album, Michael, was released December 13 and has already sold 228,000 copies in the U.S. and hundreds of thousands more overseas.

In addition to the purchased units, another 3 million copies were shipped abroad for sale so the numbers should pick up in the upcoming weeks.

While the numbers aren’t earth shattering, they’re still pretty impressive for any new release. Compare them to the sales for the album released by Crystal Bowersox during the same week and you get a better sense for this posthumous accomplishment.

Michael debuted at #3 in the U.S.  It came behind Taylor Swift’s Speak Now, (259,000) and Susan Boyle’s The Gift (254,000). 

The album did hit #1 in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Sweden. It also hit  was #3 and #4 in Japan and the UK, respectively.

VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY.

Remember Antoine Dodson?  He was a resident of the Lincoln Park housing project in Huntsville, Alabama, who gave an interview to the local news station about a window intruder into his home and whose interview became an Internet sensation. Remember? “Hide your kids, hide your wife…”

Well – seems like he can’t trust anyone since the home invasion and is warning anyone who comes in uninvited, including Santa Clause! 
“Come through my chimney and I’ll show you a nutcracker,” Dodson threatens Santa.
Dodson appeared on Lopez Tonight to debut his latest seasonal remix of the Bed Intruder Song. And it should scare Santa into running away real fast from Dodson’s zip code….
Dodson sings what is sure to become a yuletide classic: “All I want for Christmas is for you to keep your fat ass out of my house!”

Chelsea then asked if she likes to watch herself in her movies. Reese responded: “I can’t watch myself.  I don’t know, who feels good looking at themselves? Nobody, right? It’s torture. Why would you want to watch yourself being stupid and pretending to be somebody else?”

Forbes has yet another list, and has named Leonardo DiCaprio the highest-grossing actor of the year.

That’s to be expected for DiCaprio who had two monster movies this year: Shutter Island and Inception. Inception alone made $825 million, quite an impressive feat considering it lacked the benefit of high-priced 3-D tickets inflating the total.

Surprisingly though, newcomer Mia Wasikowska, the breakout star of Alice in Wonderland, came in second! Crazy.

Here’s the top ten: 

1. Leonardo DiCaprio $1.1 billion
2. Mia Wasikowska $1.03 billion
3. Johnny Depp $1.03 billion
4. Robert Downey Jr. $807 million
5. Daniel Radcliffe $780 million
6. Robert Pattinson $749 million
7. Kristen Stewart $698 million
8. Sam Worthington $494 million
9. Jaden Smith $359 million
10. Jackie Chan $359 million
