They may not have an official name but they are the driving force behind one of the highest selling albums to date.

For it seems that when it comes to fan support, there is no greater fan base that of  Brit Soul diva Adele because much to the delight of XL Recordings, her album ’21‘ is the highest selling album in the world again.

Though still in promotion for her 4th #1 album ‘4’, Beyonce also made headlines with last month’s announcement of  her starring role in the Clint Eastwood-directed ‘A Star is Born’.  Production is not set to start until the end of the year, but the burgeoning pop icon speaks regularly on the film, calling it the ‘biggest opportunity’ of her life.

In a recent Reuters report the singer sheds more light on the upcoming project.  See what else Mrs. Knowles Carter had to say about this and more after the jump:

Upon sharing news that he and autotune abuse accomplice Ke$ha would be heading to the studio to record a collaboration, the ‘I’m Sprung’ singer sprang another surprise on fans (and non-fans) by announcing his plans to abandon the software.  While most would attribute T-Pain as its popularizing force, the ‘rapper-turnt-singer’ is determined to ditch the overused voice modification effect for his forthcoming, fourth studio album ‘rEVOLVEr’ (due September 2011).

Christina Milian may have a new reason to ‘Dip It Low’ as US Magazine has revealed the singer may be eyeing a spot on next season’s ‘Dancing With the Stars’.  While the cast is still being filled out, sources have revealed to the magazine that the former Mrs. Nash is definitely a ‘possibility’.

And, with two different versions of a scrapped album (originally to be released on Myspace Records), this arena may be just what the ‘A.M. to P.M.’ singer needs to reignite interest.  While fellow R&B stars Mario, Mya, and (to some extent) Brandy did not immediately capitalize on the buzz around their DWTS cameos, ask Nicole Scherzinger what the show can do for your career.  Even Lil’ Kim, to a degree, can attest.

And since Milian’s moves on the dancefloor are what partly brought her to fame, here’s hoping the stint leads to better opportunities.

In lieu of so-so sales of 2010’s ‘Calling All Hearts’, maybe the tried-and-true formula of the reality show (which has worked for Cole and pal Monica in the past) is the call she needs to make to regenerate interest in her career.  The ‘I Remember’ singer is presently an act on the R. Kelly ‘Love Letter’ tour featuring fellow R&B chanteuse Marsha Ambrosius.

Tidbit:  Did anybody else notice Keyshia’s absence from Monica’s wedding?

Prepare yourself for an autotune overdose as T-Pain has taken to Ryan Seacrest to reveal that he and pop sin-sation Ke$ha will be heading to the studio to ‘record’ a song.   The surely electronic electric song, which will probably sound like a duet between Mega Tron and Optimus Prime, has had few details revealed about it.  However, the ‘Buy You a Drink’ singer did say this:
