14 years may have separated fans of Lil Kim from a new album, but now the wait has come to a close thanks to the arrival of her studio effort, ‘9.’

Coming as the first installment of a two part project (as we reported here), the set was kicked off by the warmly received ‘Go Awff,’ ‘Pray For Me,’ and ‘Found You.’

Blazing the promo trail this week to build awareness for the project’s October 11th arrival (as we reported here), look inside to hear just what Kimmy Blanco’s serving up.

As we reported here, Queen of Pop Madonna was royally ousted from the #2 spot of “most RIAA certified female artists in history [albums]” thanks to the updated certification of Mariah Carey‘s Christmas album, ‘Merry Christmas.’

Now 6X Platinum, which denotes sales equivalence of 6 million units in the United States, the holiday effort’s new status gave Mimi just the slight push needed to place her in history books only behind Barbra Streisand.  Fast forward to this week, the ‘Vision of Love’ beauty apparently has Babs’ position in her sights as a slew of her hit singles and albums – including ‘Fantasy,’ ‘Hero,’ ‘One Sweet Day,’ and more – saw their respective sales tallies verified and reported to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for update.

With the new numbers Carey comes that much closer to being crowned the best-selling female artist in U.S. history.  Details inside:

Earlier this week Lil Kim – hot on the promo trail in support of her new album, ‘9’ (due October 11) – got into a heated altercation with animal rights activists who not only invaded the rapper’s personal space, but shouted for her to stop wearing fur.

The protesters, who gathered outside Verizon Media Studios in New York City Tuesday (October 8), almost caught hands from the pint-sized rapstress as she exchanged words and had to be held back by her security detail.

In her first televised interview since the incident, Kim took to our friends at ‘Extra’ to address the hoop-la.  Dishing on that, her new LP, motherhood, and more, look inside to see what she said:

Now, it appears that distance isn’t just professional. It’s personal.
