Amy Winehouse's death news was shocking: Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga was so devastated by Amy Winehouse's death she couldn't talk for two days.
The 'Edge of Glory' hitmaker was heartbroken to hear that Amy passed away at her home in Camden, north London last week and praised the tragic singer as "the most lovely and kind woman".
Speaking on 'The View', she said: "I'm so devastated and so sad. I really couldn't speak for like 48 hours straight. I was in such shock. I don't think Amy needed to learn any lessons. I think the lesson was for the world to be kinder to the superstar. Everybody was so hard on her, and everything that I knew about her was that she was the most lovely and kind woman." more

Amy Winehouse album Back to Black re-enters US charts
The singer's Back to Black album will re-enter the Billboard album chart at No. 9, with 37,000 albums sold in the United States in the past week.
Those figures come from Nielsen SoundScan data released late Tuesday. Her debut album Frank sold 7,000 copies. All but a fraction of those sales were digital downloads.
Back to Black hadn't sold that many copies in three years. In the Telegraph's review of the album in 2006 Helen Brown wrote:
"Back to Black sees a triumphant Winehouse slamming the door on those laid-back lounge influences and strutting into a gloriously ballsy, bell-ringing bottle-swigging doo-wop territory.
Living with raw conviction through the emotional experience of each song on Back to Black, Winehouse proves herself a true urban diva."
