NGL_11Coldplay5.JPGArty British rockers Coldplay sit pretty at the top of Billboard's pop albums chart for a second week. Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends sold 249,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. In fact, the Top 3 discs stay put: At No. 2, rapper Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III sells 209,000 copies while at No. 3, the Jonas Brothers-fueled soundtrack to Disney's Camp Rock moves 169,000 copies. The highest new entry on the list is Motley Crue's Saints of Los Angeles which sells 99,000 copies, good enough for a No. 4 debut.

Shakira_Subasta.JPGColombian superstar Shakira is in talks with Live Nation about a multi-leveled, $70 million contract that would encompass touring, merchandising and recording, reports billboard.com. The bi-lingual singer-songwriter still owes Epic Records two studio albums, one in English and one in Spanish, but if she inks with Live Nation the huge conglomerate could eventually be her new label. A similar deal has already been signed between Live Nation and Madonna for a whopping $120 million.
