Fox’s smash hit, “Empire” soundtrack tops the Billboard 200 Albums chart. Whether you’ve been avidly watching, not watching, or just completely oblivious to social media, “Empire’s” success is hard to ignore. While the show’s been busy making people tune in, sparking debate, and growing an enormous fan base, it seems as if Lucious, Cookie, and Co. have reached yet another milestone. The “Empire” soundtrack debuted at No.1 (ahead of Madonna’s “Rebel Heart”) on the prestigious Billboard 200 chart. What does this mean for the shows longevity? It seems as if the cameras will be rolling for seasons to come.

Scott Aukerman | Kid Cudi

Let’s call a spade a spade, and admit things haven’t been going ideally for Kid Cudi in recent years. Suffering from depression, insulting fans at live shows, not enough music production, and ultimately leaving G.O.O.D Music certainly hasn’t helped his career, and while it seems like Kid Cudi is constantly struggling to find himself and his role within the entertainment industry, his summer at least looks a little more stable than usual as he will replace comedian and musician Reggie Watts as a regular co-host on Comedy Bang! Bang! Although this is somewhat surprising, Cudi has experimented with acting for some time now, landing a small role on Brooklyn-Nine-Nine, The Cleveland Show and a role in the upcoming Entourage movie. If you’re unaware, Cudi is really funny when he wants to be which could actually make Comedy Bang! Bang! a great fit for him along side Scott Aukerman. Check out Cudi’s recently released album SATELLITE FLIGHT: The Journey to Mother Moon, and look for him to takeover co-hosting duties early to late June.

Golf Wang’s captain decided to Lil Mama Gucci’s set. Security on hand didn’t take kindly to Tyler’s antics and choke-slammed him off the stage. Never one to be deterred, however, Tyler was back seconds later to continue wildin’.
