Coffee Talk: Rihanna Earns First Number One Album with 'Unapologetic'

Check out why we’re having french toast with our morning brew:

• Despite having 12 number one songs to her name, Rihanna has never earned a number one album on the Billboard charts until today. The pop princess tweeted the good news to her Navy. “Wait!! What the F*CK?! #UNAPOLOGETIC just debuted at #1 in America! My first number 1 album there! Thank you Navy, u deserve it.” The news comes on the heels of bad press regarding her 777 tour that left many journalists hungry for a juicy story, food and sleep.

• Jamie Foxx received heavy criticism from Christians when he called President Barack Obama “our Lord and savior” at the 2012 Soul Train Awards. The president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights in the United States Bill Donahue issued a statement calling the comedian’s comments “startling.” “It just goes to show that even though Obama did not succeed in stopping the oceans from rising (as he promised to do in 2008), he did succeed in convincing Jamie Foxx, and no doubt legions of others, that God exists,” the statement read. “Whether God can survive an ACLU lawsuit accusing him of violating church and state grounds remains to be seen.” [E!
