'Twilight' Dethrones AC/DC

Twilight's taking over, well, just about everything. On Wednesday, its soundtrack debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. pop chart. I bet rock band AC/DC (which bested High School Musical 3's soundtrack) was irked to find its two-week reign on the top spot cut short as the Twilight phenomenon upped sales to 165,000 copies. Twilight, which boasts tracks from Linkin Park, Paramore, Muse and star Rob Pattinson, is the third No. 1 soundtrack of the year after Juno and Mamma Mia!, Reuters reports. As an avid music fan herself, author Stephenie Meyer may have spawned an ardent new fan base when she posted playlists on her blog to listen to while reading her book.

Hugh Jackman crowned People's `Sexiest Man Alive'

Hugh Jackman says wife Deborra-Lee Furness teased him after finding out he'd been named People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive."

Recalling Furness' reaction, Jackman says: "God bless her, she said, `I could've told them that years ago! And then she said, `Obviously Brad (Pitt) wasn't available this year.' And I said, `That was a joke, right?'"

The magazine's executive editor, Jess Cagle, said Wednesday on NBC's "Today" show that Jackman is a "surprising choice," but he'd been on the editors' minds "for a long time and it seemed like this was the year to do him."

Cagle pointed out that not only is Jackman's career at its peak, with the "X-Men" movies and his upcoming epic with Nicole Kidman "Australia," but he's "built like a tank."
