Taylor Swift's new album, "Speak Now," is expected to be the biggest seller of the year, and it's off to a good start: It sold more than a million copies in its first week, the first time that's happened in more than two years.

Rolling Stone looks at the plan that led up to the sales milestone, and the Los Angeles Times has a pretty good analysis of her popularity.

Other entertainment news of note online today:

TELEVISION

• Well, this isn't quite as interesting as it first sounded. When Gwyneth Paltrow appears on "Glee" Nov. 16, she's going to sing Cee-Lo's smash neo-soul hit "F You" — but she's going to do the G-rated "Forget You" version rather than the R-rated original. Still, I think that's something I need to see.

• One of the Chilean miners will appear on the "Late Show with David Letterman."

• It turns out Conan O'Brien and Jack White have known each other longer than Conan realized.

MUSIC

• The sequel to Eminem and Rihanna's "Love the Way You Lie" has leaked online.

THEATER

• Jerry Bock, the musical theater composer behind "Fiddler on the Roof," "Fiorello!" and "She Loves Me," has died at age 81.

"Fiddler" is part of our collective subconscious at this point, so in tribute here's something a bit more offbeat: "Little Tin Box," a song from "Fiorello!," here on a TV show ... including Raymond Burr.
