Iggy Azalea's 'Fancy' Hits No. 1 on Hot Rap Songs Chart

Coinciding with the April 22 release of her debut full-length album "The New Classic," Iggy Azalea's single "Fancy" (featuring Charli XCX) jumps 4-1 on Hot Rap Songs to end the reign of Pitbull's "Timber" (featuring Ke$ha) after 15 weeks. The last time a female with lead billing led the list was in 2011 when Nicki Minaj's "Moment 4 Life" (featuring Drake) ruled for nine weeks.

Iggy Azalea Set for Billboard 200's Highest Debut Next Week

Overall, Azalea is the 14th female to hit No. 1 on Rap Songs as a lead act.

On Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, "Fancy" jumps 11-6 with Airplay Gainer honors thanks to a 27 percent rise to 28.6 million listener impressions in the April 16-22 Nielsen BDS tracking week. Correspondingly, the Invisible Men and Arcade-produced track also jumps 12-9 on Rhythmic Songs, with a 24 percent gain, and 12-10 on Rap Airplay, up 27 percent, for her first two airplay top 10s. On Rap Digital Songs, the cut posts a second chart-topping week, growing 60 percent to a weekly high of 84,000 downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan (week ending April 20).

As if that weren't enough, "Fancy" also breaks into the top tiers of R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs and Rap Streaming Songs with a 38 percent lift to 2.4 million domestic streams (week ending April 20). On the former chart, it leaps 18-7 in its third week, while on the latter, it moves 11-4 in its seventh. Industry forecasters suggest "The New Classic" will be the top debut on the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums next week.

Former Barca coach Tito Vilanova passes away at age 45

Former Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova has died of throat cancer at the age of 45.

Vilanova led the Catalan club for a season after taking over from Pep Guardiola, but was forced to resign last summer because of ill health.

Barca said in a statement: "The club expresses their deepest condolences over the passing of Tito Vilanova , who died today in Barcelona at the age of 45."

Vilanova, a former midfielder who spent his playing career largely in the Spanish second division, was Guardiola's assistant for four years at the Nou Camp, the pair having previously worked together with the B team.

He was first diagnosed with parotid gland cancer in November 2011 and the disease returned in December 2012.

He was away from the team between December and late March as he underwent surgery and treatment, but still won the La Liga title before resigning in July last year.

Barca sent their "deepest condolences" to Vilanova's family and said they would be opening a space in the main grandstand at the Nou Camp for people to express their condolences.

The club's president said on Twitter: "Tito Vilanova was a wonderful person, and will never be forgotten at FC Barcelona. Thank you for everything you taught us. Rest in peace."

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho had several run-ins with Vilanova during his time in charge of Real Madrid, infamously poking him in the eye in one clash.

Mourinho said on Chelsea's Twitter account: "Tito Vilanova's passing is a sad day for football, for Barcelona and most importantly for his family and friends.

"On behalf of everybody at Chelsea Football Club I send my deepest condolences at this most difficult time."

Vilanova led Barca to their highest ever points total for a La Liga season during his single season in charge, their 100 points a joint record for the division with Real Madrid.

Barca midfielder Cesc Fabregas paid an emotional tribute on his Facebook page.

He wrote: "Tito, thank you for all you have given to football and Barca.

"Personally, I met you 14 years ago and I can say that there are very few people like you. Thank you for always trusting me to help me improve and overcome personal and professional obstacles.

"We will always keep a place for you in our hearts. Rest in peace Tito."

Madrid defender Sergio Ramos added on Twitter: "Lots of support to all of Tito's family and friends. An example of fighting and strength for all of us. RIP."

Madrid's former player Michel Salgado played alongside Vilanova for Celta Vigo, where Vilanova spent three seasons from 1992 to 1995.

"Destroyed over Tito Vilanova's death, my condolences to family and friends and such a big honour having played with him in Celta," he said.

England coach Roy Hodgson added his condolences.

He said on the Football Association Twitter feed: "It's deeply saddening to hear of the passing of Tito Vilanova. My thoughts and sympathies go to his family at this very difficult time."

Manchester United's Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea added: "A very sad day, Tito Vilanova has left us but his fighting remains as an example. RIP great hug to all his family."

Manchester United sacks Moyes

David Moyes is set to be sacked as manager of Manchester United.

The Glazer family has decided to dismiss the Scot just 11 months after he was appointed Sir Alex Ferguson's successor.

A United representative has denied that Moyes has already been sacked but, he is not expected to be in the dugout when United plays Norwich City at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Player-coach Ryan Giggs is expected to be placed in charge of the team until the end of the season, with the other members of the backroom team that Moyes brought with him from Everton — Steve Round, Phil Neville and Jimmy Lumsden — also set to leave the club. A permanent manager will then be appointed at the end of the season.

The Glazers, the Americans who own the club, regarded Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Everton, United's 11th loss in all competitions since the turn of the year, as the final straw in what has been a catastrophic season.

Moyes signed a six-year contract last May in the wake of Ferguson's retirement, but is soon likely to be told the news of his dismissal by executive vice chairman Ed Woodward.

It can hardly be a coincidence that the Glazers decided to pull the plug immediately after confirmation that United can no longer finish in the top four this season.

The U.S.-based owners have learned from the senior executives based in the UK of the widespread disaffection of senior players and the United hierarchy believes dressing room unrest, coupled with a season of disastrous results, has made Moyes' position untenable.

United is set to tie the record as the worst defending champion in Premier League history, matching the seventh-place finish of Ray Harford’s Blackburn Rovers in 1996. It is also likely to fail to qualify for the Europa League next season.

The United board has stood by Moyes following several disastrous results, most notably the home defeats last month to rivals Liverpool and Manchester City. But the scorelines have been matched by equally deflating performances, and the pressure on Moyes has grown thanks to persistent rumors of discontent in the dressing room.

Robin van Persie, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, Danny Welbeck, Javier Hernandez and Giggs, who has been marginalized despite his apparently senior role, are all believed to be unhappy with Moyes and the staff he brought with him from Everton.

The United match day fans have remained broadly supportive of Moyes, but anger has grown at what they perceive to be a negative style of play and the manager's continual failure to arrest the slump, particularly against high-quality opposition.

Lytro Illum: Lytro's New Light-Field Camera

A far cry from the toy-like appearance of its predecessor, the $1,599 Lytro Illum looks and feels like a genuine full-fledged camera meant for a more professional crowd. The innovation doesn't stop at just looks either, as the Illum is a much more serious effort at light field photography, with cutting-edge optics, a larger sensor and a whole lot of computational power that might make the Illum the most technologically advanced camera to land in consumer hands.

When Lytro first introduced its light field camera two years ago, it shook up not just the world of photography, but of technology in general. Bundled inside a tiny rectangular block was a groundbreaking image sensor that could capture millions of rays of light along with their color, intensity and direction -- a task that previously required hundreds of cameras and a supercomputer. That hardware, combined with some complex software, meant that you could not only get a 3D image from a single shot, but also had the ability to refocus a photograph after you take it. It's this latter trick that is arguably the Lytro camera's most identifying characteristic, and the one that put it on the technological map.  
More than just taking a good photo, however, Rosenthal and Ng believe that light field photography allows for living art. It's one of the reasons Lytro is also introducing something called Light Field Animations, which are video-like capabilities that essentially animate the effects of image refocusing. "If you think of how pictures work today online, it's as if we took our parent's photo albums, ripped out the 4-by-6 prints, and just shoved them up on the web," said Ng. "We're on this long-term journey of taking these advanced hardware and software capabilities to just make storytelling and photography more immersive, more interesting and more interactive." 

The Lytro Illum will be available starting July 15th for $1,599, which sounds expensive, but the closest professional camera with a similar lens will likely cost thousands more. And if you pre-order before that date, you can snag one for the introductory price of $1,499.

"If Camera 1.0 was film-based, and Camera 2.0 was the transition from film to digital, we're at Camera 3.0. It's about collecting very rich information about the world," said Rosenthal. "We're only just getting started. We can do much, much more in the future."

Palcohol turns vodka into a powdered condiment

Why sip on a nice glass of scotch when you can get tipsy on salad instead? A new product called Palcohol takes the pesky liquid out of your favorite drinks; turning them into a potent powder you can just sprinkle on your hamburger for an extra "kick." The company doesn't recommend snorting it (be honest, we know that's what you were thinking), but says it can be used most anywhere else. Powders are available in straight liquor form as well as premixes like Lemon Drop and Margarita, and if you'd rather drink your booze (as if!), Palcohol can be liquefied with water and consumed just like a bottle of Jack Daniels.
Sound too good to be true? US regulators have surprisingly already approved Palcohol for sale in the United States, but don't expect the product at your corner liquor store anytime soon. Individual states still have to approve the powder. And while the original idea for the product was supposedly booze that could be easily carried around by hikers and other outdoors-types, it also seems like it would appeal to a younger crowd (a no-no for many state legislators).
Palcohol's site originally suggested bringing your undercover "Pal" places like movie theaters where drinking isn't allowed or sprinkling a little vodka on eggs in the morning to "start your day off right." Neither sound like the most responsible of powdering (yes, we're coining a new term) choices. The site has since been updated to suggest better habits, but it's still pretty easy to see how something like powdered vodka could be misused.
Unfortunately, we haven't had an opportunity to taste-test the wares, but we imagine Palcohol is more on-par with cheap hangover-inducing booze than something you'd want to sip slowly with a cigar by the fire. It's unclear how much a package of tequila might run when it hits store shelves. However, the ability to have a margarita (no matter how bad) sprinkled on our nachos sounds priceless.
