Eminem is still the most popular musician on Facebook. It was a tight race, but ultimately, the Detroit rapper bested both Lady Gaga (53 million) and Rihanna (59 million) to reach 60 million Facebook fans.
Eminem has long been the most popular person on the social networking site, after taking the honor away from Michael Jackson in 2009. However, thanks to her Rihanna Navy, Rihanna is fast approaching 60 million fans herself, with approximately of 59.4 million fans.
Eminem's new milestone comes just a few months after announcing his latest solo studio album. "I'm kinda getting into my next record a little bit," the rapper told Hot 97's Peter Rosenberg in May. The album will be his first solo record since 2010's Recovery, and he confirmed that longtime friend and producer Dr. Dre will definitely "be involved".
The rapper-turned-actor even postponed filming "Southpaw" -- originally billed as "8 Mile" with boxers instead of rappers -- to focus on his new record.

On September 17 of last year, "As the World Turns" signed off for the final time after an astounding 54 year-run. The daytime drama was axed due to shrinking ratings and expanding budgets. The beloved soap left behind a legion of devoted fans and an enviable legacy at the Daytime Emmy Awards: four victories as Best Drama Series and 24 individual acting wins. This year, "Atwt" is certain to contend one last time in several top races, including Best Actress. Defending champ Maura West could well repeat although her co-star Colleen Zenk could be a formidable challenger. Zenk, a industry veteran, played the role of Barbara Ryan Montgomery on the series since 1978. She earned Best Actress bids in both 2001 and 2002; she lost the first time to co-star Martha Byrne and then to Susan Flannery ("The Bold and the Beautiful").
