Eminem Continues Reign Over European Albums Chart

Eminem is still in Recovery in Europe - his record has made it five weeks atop the continent's album chart.

The rapper's reign keeps Lady Gaga's The Fame at number two, while dance DJ David Guetta climbs one place to three with One Love.

Welsh crooner Tom Jones is a new entry at four with Praise and Blame.

Meanwhile, in the European singles chart, Shakira's official World Cup anthem Waka Waka (This Time For Africa) bumps Katy Perry's California Gurls into second place to return to the number one spot, while Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP's We No Speak Americano is at three.

Salt-N-Pepa Star Regrets Risque Shows

Salt-N-Pepa star Cheryl Wray regrets her risque antics at the height of her fame - because she's now a born-again Christian mom.

The hip-hop star, who was Cheryl James when the trio was at the top of the charts, admits she often went too far onstage when young fans were in the audience watching her every move.

She explains, "When you are young, in a group and you have management and a record company behind you, you can get pushed into things you wouldn't do otherwise.

"As a woman, as a mom, one thing I'd never have sung was the line, 'If I want to be a freak and sell it on the weekend/It's none of your business.' That's not a message I want to put out there."

Slim Thug's Producer Sued For Copyright Infringement

Producer Jim Jonsin is facing a copyright infringement lawsuit over rapper Slim Thug's 2009 single I Run.

Jonsin, the man behind Lil Wayne's Lollipop smash hit, is accused of failing to gain permission from another music maker, South Florida's Jason Jaggon, to use the beat from his track Just C U for Slim Thug's song.

Jaggon alleges he gave some of his beats to a friend in 2008 who had links to the hip-hop industry interested in buying his work.

But he was never notified of Jonsin's interest and is now suing for compensation.

Bosses at Rebel Rock Entertainment, E-1 Entertainment and Koch Entertainment have also been named in the legal action, which was filed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
