Amy Winehouse Scores Best-Selling Album of the Century With 'Back to Black'

Roughly a month after her shocking death, Amy Winehouseclaimed a posthumous record. Her second studio album "Back to Black" was named the biggest selling album of the 21st century in the U.K. by the Official Chart Company which tracks the sales of music in the country.

Winehouse snatched the accolade from previous record holderJames Blunt. The "You're Beautiful" hitmaker got the title with his 2005's debut album "Back to Bedlam" which sold around 3,259,100 copies so far, but the "Rehab" singer surpassed it by garnering 3,241,118 copies of "Back to Black".

Amy rose to the top spot on the U.K. album chart since her passing last July. She even denied Kanye West and Jay-Z the No. 1 place last week. She remained at the penthouse of the weekly rundown for several weeks before finally being pushed down from its throne by Nero this week. She is currently sitting at No. 3 behind Adele.

Beside making a huge jump in the U.K. chart with the 2006 sophomore set, the late singer had also broken the top 10 on Billboard Hot 200. Keith Caulfield, associate director of Billboard charts, told E! Online, "A lot of it has to do with people just discovering who an artist is. It's an ironic twist that many people don't learn of an artist until that artist passes away."

Amy Winehouse is going to be remembered this coming Sunday, August 28 at 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. She will be saluted by her "Body and Soul" duet partner Tony Bennett. "It was a thrill to record with Amy Winehouse," the music vet said. "And when you listen to the recording of 'Body and Soul', it is a testament to her artistic genius and her brilliance as one of the most honest musicians I have ever known."

Promoter for Michael Jackson Tribute Concert Responds to Criticism



Responding to a lot of criticism about Michael Jackson special tribute concert, promoter for the event was quick to issue defensive statement. In a recent interview with BBC, Chris Hunt said that what people said about the gig was understandable but wrong.

"The notion that an event which reminds people just how fantastic Michael Jackson was, what a loss he was to the world he is, what a great singer, a great performer he was, should be inappropriate - it doesn't compute," he said. "It doesn't make sense."

"They were saying that it was a pity that there had not been a big scale, proper tribute to Michael," the promoter continued. "We began to think, 'Why don't we try and do one.' LaToya was the lead one but there were other family members around as well."

Commenting on the other Jackson members who were not happy with the gig, Hunt stated, "I don't wish to be ungenerous to anyone. I have the greatest respect for Jermaine, who I've met a number of times. He did a couple of times announce that he was going to organize a concert like this and then wasn't unable to do so. So I suppose it's a little understandable."

As for fans' protests, he said, "We have the greatest respect for the fans. We've been listening to the fans. I think what's happened is that there's been a campaign, which some of them have listened to and haven't heard our responses to it yet. This concert will sell out either very quickly or quickly. We have no worries about it at all."

Dubbed "Michael Forever Tribute Concert", the concert will take place at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, on October 8. It will featureChristina Aguilera, Cee-Lo Green, Leona Lewis, Smokey Robinson,Craig David, JLS, Beyonce Knowles, Alien Ant Farm and T3.

KISS were supposed to perform as well but they were removed from line-up due to fans' complaint. The devotees called the participation of the band was an insult to the King of Pop due to Gene Simmons' statement back in 2010 which degraded the late singer.

"Unfortunately we now faced with scheduling conflicts with our leads Hilary Duff and Kevin Zegers."

Holly and Rogers additionally mentioned that Zegers, who is expected to play Clyde Barrow, "would not be available until January of the new year." They continued, "Due to our obligations with investors and international buyers it is imperative that we stick to our current schedule. Therefore we are forced to explore other options for the two lead roles."

Aside from taking on the productional duty, Holly is also expected to serve behind the lens. The cast ensemble, meanwhile, includes Matt Dallas and Taryn Manning.

Kim Kardashian's Wedding Brings More Than 20 Calls to Police



The lavish wedding party Kim Kardashianthrew to celebrate her nuptials to NBA star Kris Humphries last Saturday night, August 20 was not without trouble after all. Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office reportedly received more than 20 calls relating to the reception held at a private Montecito, California estate.

Officer Drew Sugars told the Associated Press that the wedding, which has seven sheriff's deputies being hired for supplemental security, drew in 22 calls into the station. Most of the calls made were complaints from neighbors about loud music and helicopters overhead. Despite the complaints, it was noted that no citations were issued and no arrests were made.

It was previously reported that at around 12 A.M., U.S. fire marshals interrupted the reception. A party guest told the New York Daily News that DJ Cassidy took the stage at 11 P.M., but was soon told by the cops to end his set by midnight. Another source informed Us Weekly that complaints from the neighbors made them "had to shut down the music early".

Words are, Kim's sister Khloe Kardashian tried to work things out, but without avail. "She was talking to security guards," the source said, "her friend's family knows the mayor of Montecito and they tried even to get in touch with him. Everyone in the neighborhood knew this wedding was happening. Just let them have their fun!"

Fortunately, the glitch didn't dampen the wedding guests' mood to party. The likes of Ryan Seacrest, Lindsay Lohan and Ciara allegedly continued on partying until nearly 2 A.M. on Sunday, August 21.

In another news, Kim and Kris were spotted with their arms around each other at LAX airport on Monday afternoon, August 22. Sporting casual outfits and sunglasses, the newlyweds walked through the airport to catch a flight to Europe for a quick honeymoon. Kim also made time to shoot down false report by tweeting, "There are rumors of a 2nd wedding in NY. This is NOT true!!" 

Megan Fox on Tattoo Removal: Marilyn Monroe Is 'a Negative Character'



Megan Fox is in the process of having her Marilyn Monroe tattoo removed from her right forearm. When asked about the portrait inking, the actress playing Mikaela Banes in the first two "Transformers" movies told Italian magazine Amica that she is getting rid of negative energy.

"I'm removing it," the 25-year-old actress confirmed that she has undergone laser treatments. She went on to explain, "It is a negative character, as she suffered from personality disorders and was bipolar. I do not want to attract this kind of negative energy in my life." She added, "Who knows, maybe I'll remove the others too, but the laser hurts."

Back in 2009, Megan revealed that her admiration of the blonde bombshell was one of the reasons she got herself the tattoo. She moreover spilled that it also serves as "a warning" as explaining, "It warns me not to let myself be treated so badly by the film industry so that it breaks me down."

The body art, however, appeared lighter and less detailed when the "Jonah Hex" actress showed up at a New York City party celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Jaguar E-Type in April of 2011. It quickly prompted speculation that she was trying to etch the ink off her skin.

Megan apparently didn't only regret having the tattoo. When quizzed about her belly button piercing, the wife of Brian Austin Green told Amica, "I did it when I was 16-years-old because I was a fan of Britney Spears. The only time I tried to imitate someone else. But then I thought it was tacky and so I removed it when I turned 20."

Leo and Blake have been linked romantically to each other after he broke up with girlfriend for six years, Bar Refaeli. They were snapped giving each other warm embrace when on board director Steven Spielberg's yacht in May, before being seen together in Italy.
