Mariah Carey's smash comeback CD, "The Emancipation of MiMi," has won the distinction of the best-selling album of 2005. Mariah's offering beat out rapper 50 Cent by selling 290,000 during the Christmas stocking stuffer rush.

50 Cent reportedly slunk out of a Paris nightclub after being snubbed by all the pretty girls inside. The rapper was at a party thrown for him on Monday when he failed to attract the attention of any of the beautiful women enjoying the bash.

A partygoer in the VIP room told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "The party was thrown in his honor but instead of getting into it he just sat there looking sulky, drinking his free champagne."He looked as if he was waiting to be surrounded by gorgeous girls vying for his attention. But the girls pretty much ignored him."

50 Cent has spoken out about his feud with Robbie Williams - branding the British singer "a sucker." The pair allegedly fell out when they stayed at the same hotel in Berlin a few weeks ago.

The trouble reportedly started when fans at the swanky Ritz-Carlton mistook 50's car for Robbie's, and greeted him chanting, "Robbie, Robbie". It worsened when Robbie later told hotel staff the hip-hop star was keeping him awake.

50 Cent is set to be banned from Canada - because he attracts too many guns. The "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'' rapper has been shot nine times and the country's Junior Foreign Minister is worried his music promotes gun violence.

Dan McTeague is trying to stop the star from entering the country to performseven concerts next month.

Maybe he thinks he's Superman. Rap star 50 Cent reportedly tried to beat off bullets with his bare hands when hitmen tried to kill him.

The rapper was left badly injured after three gunmen pumped nine bullets into him in an attack in 2000. New details of the infamous shooting - which features in the rapper's new movie 'Get Rich or Die Tryin' - have emerged during the trial of Murder Inc. record label moguls Irving and Christopher Lorenzo.
