Winehouse Poised to Be U.K.’s 2007 Best Seller, Patti Smith Hosts Bob Dylan Podcasts, “Guitar Hero III” Heading to Mobile Phones

Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black has sold more than 1.5 million copies in the U.K., making it likely to become the biggest-selling album of the year across the pond unless former X-Factor winner (the U.K.’s American Idol) Leona Lewis surges in the last week of 2007 record-buying, the BBC reports. Winehouse will still finish out the year triumphant, with six Grammy nominations in the States and her own record here for the highest-selling debut by a British female solo artist, awarded when Black was released earlier this year. For the last three months, Patti Smith has been hosting a little-known podcast chronicling Bob Dylan’s life story. In the Legacy Recordings series, the tenth episode of which was just posted, Dylan’s career is revisited with commentary from Smith, the Band’s Garth Hudson, RS‘ own Anthony DeCurtis and Jazz great George Wein. Check it out here. Verizon Wireless has landed the exclusive rights to bring Guitar Hero III to its wireless customers. The new version includes fifteen tracks from the game (including the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Suck My Kiss” and the Scorpions’ “Rock You Like a Hurricane”) and like its bigger brother, Guitar Hero III Mobile allows players to buy new song packs each month. Kenny G joins Paul McCartney, James Taylor and Joni Mitchell as the latest artist to have his music for sale at Starbucks. G will release a disc of Latin love songs titled Rhythm and Romance on February 5th via a deal with the coffee giant and Concord Records. The Hives have put the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ remix of their single “Tick Tick Boom” up for free download for a limited time. The remix, by YYY’s guitarist Nick Zinner, will also appear as the B-side to the Hives’ next single in the U.K., “We Rule the World (T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S.).”

What Harper’s Bazaar Wants You to Know About George Clooney’s Girlfriend [Getting To Know You]

In the next issue of Harper's Bazaar, George Clooney's sand-loving girlfriend Sarah Larson gets the profile treatment. What follows is a list of things we learned by reading it: · Sarah Larson was once on Fear Factor, where her crowning achievement was “eating” a scorpion. (When, in fact, she put it in her mouth then spit it into a bucket, which one can only assume is how she eats all her food.) · She toured the country following the band Phish, making bracelets and sandwiches to trade for gas money. (Although Harper’s fails to mention what she traded for spending money.) · She studied microbiology (pot?) at Evergreen State College (pot school) and worked in the school’s lab (presumably making pot). · In 2002, Larson moved to Las Vegas to be close to her ailing father. Who lived in Palm Springs. 300 miles away. Because family's always there when you need them, sort of.· After working at a homeopathic medical company (need I say pot?), Larson “discovered” that she could make a lot more money working at the Playboy Club. Yes, just as Columbus discovered the New World, so Sarah Larson discovered that jiggling her junk pays well: "It's funny, you go into cocktailing and you're making a thousand dollars a night.” Yeah, that’s what they call it.... cocktailing..... · Larson had a boyfriend when she first met Clooney (apparently while cocktailing) but had totally lost that chump by the time she tracked Clooney down at the Vegas premiere of Ocean’s Thirteen in 2007. Hooray for happy accidents. · She was attracted to Clooney because of his work in Darfur. Not his wealth, or fame, or good looks. All she could think about while wrapping her cooch around a pole in Vegas was, “I just want a man who cares about the struggle of the Sudanese people.” · George has introduced Her Arm Candiness to the Dalai Lama. We’re sure the holy one took well to, “Cool robe thingie. It looks yellow, but it’s kinda orange too. Do you like Rock
