 NEW YORK (AP) — After incorrect or unprovable statements made by Republican President Donald Trump and some White House aides, one truth is undeniable: Sales of George Orwell's "1984" are soaring. 
  
 First published in 1949, Orwell's classic dystopian tale of a society in which facts are distorted and suppressed in a cloud of "newspeak" topped the best-seller list of Amazon.com as of Tuesday evening. The sales bump comes after the Trump administration's assertions his inauguration had record attendance and his unfounded allegation that millions of illegal votes were cast against him last fall. 
  
 Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway coined an instant catchphrase Sunday when she called his claims about crowd size "alternative facts," bringing comparisons on social media to "1984." 
  
 Orwell's book isn't the only cautionary tale on the Amazon list. Sinclair Lewis' 1935 novel about the election of an authoritarian president, "It Can't Happen Here," was at No. 46. Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" was at No. 71. 
  
 Sales also were up for Hannah Arendt's seminal nonfiction analysis "The Origins of Totalitarianism." ||||| Sales are soaring for George Orwell's "1984" in the wake of incorrect or unprovable statements made by President Donald Trump and some White House aides.

– If George Orwell were alive today, he would probably be less than thrilled to find that his vision of a dystopian future at the top of best-seller lists. Orwell's 1984, first published in 1949, is now at No. 1 on Amazon.com's best-seller list and publisher Penguin is planning to print another 75,000 copies to meet demand, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The surge in sales follows Kellyanne Conway's claim that the Trump administration was presenting "alternative facts" instead of falsehoods, an assertion critics described as distinctly Orwellian. The book hit No. 6 on the list on Monday and reached No. 1 Tuesday night, reports the Telegraph, which notes Conway's comments inspired social media users to share 1984 quotes including: "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." The AP reports that Sinclair Lewis' 1935 novel about an authoritarian president, It Can't Happen Here, is at No. 46 on Amazon's list, with Aldous Huxley's Brave New World at No. 71 and Hannah Arendt's The Origins of Totalitarianism also performing strongly. Trump's Art of the Deal, meanwhile, is at No. 31. (Orwell's classic also surged during the 2013 NSA surveillance controversy.)

 The IRS Demands a Couple Mil from Nelly 
  
 EXCLUSIVE 
  
 Nelly might wanna tighten his belt, he's staring down one of the biggest celeb tax liens we've ever seen ... topping the $2 mil mark! 
  
 Uncle Sam nailed Nelly with a $2,412,283 federal tax lien in August. The tab is so big, the IRS could start seizing his assets and property. 
  
 He's also got state tax trouble -- earlier this year, the Missouri Department of Revenue said the St. Louis rapper owed $149,511 in unpaid state taxes from 2013. He originally owed a mere $113,533 ... but interest is a bitch. 
  
 Sources close to Nelly tell us he's already working with the tax authorities to resolve the issues. |||||



– Cornell Iral Haynes Jr. is in trouble with the taxman, but you may be able to help. You also might be more inclined to lend a hand if you recognize Mr. Haynes by his stage name, Nelly, and realize that it would take just a few minutes on Spotify to help dig the rapper out of his IRS mess. TMZ reported Sunday that Nelly was slammed with a $2,412,283 federal tax lien last month, added on to a Missouri state tax bill from earlier this year of nearly $150,000 (he originally owed just $113,000 and change, but the interest racked up). Spin magazine calls his financial conundrum "tragic" and says the singer "deserves better"—and it suggests a way everyone can help. The magazine's grand plan: Get as many people as possible to stream his hit song "Hot in Herre"—or "Ride Wit Me" or any other tunes from the Nelly discography—to generate funds for the artist. Based on Spotify's estimation that the average "per stream" payout to the owner of a song's rights is between $0.006 and $0.0084, Spin calculates Nelly would need, at minimum, 287,176,547 streams to help him pay down the federal tax bill, with an additional 17.8 million streams to appease Missouri—and that's if we assume he's on the $0.0084 end of things and that his labels and publishers, who would also get a cut, will be generous. Still, hope springs eternal: People are responding in a generally positive manner to the #HotInHerreStreamingParty and #SaveNelly hashtags. "I couldn't save Harambe but god----it I'm saving you @Nelly_Mo," writes one fan. (Last year wasn't a good year for Nelly on the legal front.)
