Taylor’s new album swiftly goes platinum

Taylor Swift’s new album is called “Red,” but its true color is a brilliant platinum. The 22-year-old singer sold 1.2 million copies of her latest album in its first week – the largest sales week for any album in a decade.

“Red” marks Swift’s second straight album to sell more than 1 million copies in its first week; “Speak Now,” her third album, sold a little over 1 million copies when it was released in 2010.

Swift has the opportunity to celebrate for a second time this week: As the reigning “Entertainer of the Year” at the CMA Awards, she has the chance to capture the trophy for a second time Thursday in Nashville.

Octomom checks herself into rehab

“Octomom” Nadya Suleman has checked herself into a rehabilitation center, citing anxiety, exhaustion and stress, a spokeswoman for the mother of 14 said Tuesday.

Suleman had been taking the medication Xanax under a doctor’s care to deal with her problems, but she felt she needed a treatment program to help with her recovery, spokeswoman Gina Rodriguez said. Suleman checked herself into Chapman House Treatment Center on Oct. 23 and “will be in treatment for 28 days or more if needed,” Rodriguez said.

Meanwhile, three nannies and two of Suleman’s friends will care for her octuplets, who will be 4 years old in January, and her six older children.

Suleman, who has been in the media spotlight since giving birth to the octuplets in 2009, lived in Orange County until she moved her brood to the Palmdale, Calif., home earlier this month.
