Beyonce, Lady Gaga lead U.S. singles chart

Beyonce logged a fourth week atop the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart Friday, while near-record digital sales drove dance-pop singer Lady GaGa to the No. 2 slot.

Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," a track from her chart-topping album "I Am ... Sasha Fierce," sold a massive 382,000 downloads last week according to Nielsen SoundScan, a 157% increase.

But Lady GaGa's Grammy-nominated "Just Dance" featuring Colby O'Donis sold 419,000 downloads, the second biggest single-week sum of all time behind Flo Rida's 467,000 from the same week last year. It rose one spot from the previous week, swapping places with T.I.'s "Live Your Life" featuring Rihanna.

Kanye West's "Heartless" held at No. 4, and Taylor Swift's "Love Story" rose two to No. 5. Katy Perry's "Hot N Cold" remained at No. 6, and Britney Spears' "Womanizer" fell two to No. 7.

Rounding out the top portion of the Hot 100, West's "Love Lockdown," T.I.'s "Whatever You Like" and Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy" were are unchanged at Nos. 8-10.

Nickelodeon star Miranda Cosgrove's cover of Sugababes' "About You Now" was the top debut at No. 51. The song was released last June on the "iCarly" soundtrack but is now doing strong digital business after a performance on Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade; it sold 74,000 copies last week.

Victoria Beckham's educational style

Victoria Beckham loves dressing like a school teacher. The 34-year-old beauty - who has three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz with husband David - has an unusual inspiration for her unique sense of style.
She said: "My style hasn't changed since we moved to Los Angeles, not at all. I am very British in my style (think school teacher!) I love pencil skirts and fitted blouses, classic cut dresses and well-fitted jeans, mixed with classic tailoring. "

The 50s icons had such class too. I love the glamour and sophisticated style of Jackie O and Audrey Hepburn."

Victoria - who has previously made headlines by chopping her hair from long locks to a short 'Pob' and most recently into an elfin crop - also revealed she has no idea what is next in store for her hair.

She added to Company magazine: "To be honest, I never 'plan' my hairstyles. I don't wake up and think, 'Ooh, I'm going to do this'. Who knows? I guess you will just have to wait and see!"

Lindsay Lohan moving to Dubai with Samantha

Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan is on the lookout for a property in Dubai to shift in with her DJ girlfriend Samantha Ronson.

The pair fell in love with the Palm Island resort in Dubai after Ronson performed at the newly opened luxurious Atlantis Hotel in 2008, according to British tabloid the Daily Mirror.

A source tells the publication, "Lindsay and Sam loved the tacky glitziness of Dubai. There is so much money and opulence out there it really impressed Lindsay - she can be quite materialistic like that. Despite her fair skin, Lindsay loves the beach and sunshine. "

According to the contactmusic.com, Lohan is eager to capitalise on the lack of paparazzi in Dubai by purchasing a lavish $2.18 million worth property.
