Pop princess's YouTube clip beats low-tech hero to the top

He is a motivational speaker from Ohio who wears an orange T-shirt and loves to dance. She is a guitar-thrashing pop princess and icon for millions of angst-ridden teenagers. Together they are locked in a David and Goliath struggle for the crown of the world's number one internet video – and the accolade of being watched 100 million times.

After more than two years at the top, Judson Laipply's low-budget video, Evolution of Dance, has lost its status as the most watched clip of all time on YouTube. It has been overtaken by Girlfriend, a glossy music video that accompanies the hit record by millionaire singer Avril Lavigne.

Amid allegations of dirty tricks, fans of both artists are trying to make their favourite the first to achieve the landmark in internet history, given that YouTube was only launched in 2005. The battle also reflects the split within YouTube's content between amateur film footage and slick commercial clips. The site's top 20 most viewed list features professional music videos by stars such as Leona Lewis and Alicia Keys, but also home-made footage of a baby laughing uproariously from a high chair.


Rapper DMX arrested for drugs, animal cruelty

PHOENIX - DMX was arrested on drug and animal-cruelty charges following an overnight raid on the rapper's house Friday, authorities said.

The 37-year-old rapper, whose given name is Earl Simmons, initially tried to barricade himself in his bedroom but emerged when a SWAT team entered his north Phoenix home during the 3 a.m. raid, sheriff's spokesman Capt. Paul Chagolla said.

The arrest and search warrants stemmed from indictments for felony drug possession and misdemeanor animal cruelty charges. He made an initial court appearance Friday where bail was sent at $7,500, said his local attorney, Cameron Morgan. Morgan said he expected bail to be posted quickly.


Victoria Beckham analysed the past year on her website as a mother, wife and Creative Director of dVb - but snubbed the Spice Girls.

Victoria earned a reported £10m from the Spice tour and spent half of the past year with the girl troop but curiously made no mention of them in her analogue on the dVb style site.

She says: "This past year has been amazing, not only as a mother and wife but as the Creative Director of my label 'dVb by Victoria Beckham'".
