MICHELLE OBAMA's memoir, "Becoming," has already sold 10 million copies in the past five months and the publisher, Bertelsmann, says it's on track to become the most popular autobiography so far. Nielsen's book sales chart ranks it 11th on its list of top 20 bestselling biographies and memoirs at this point.
Some bad news for MARCIA CLARK. Known for the O-J trial, she's also a producer and writer, known for "The Fix," "Pretty Little Liars" and "O.J.: Made in America." But her series, "The Fix," is not doing so well. The Wrap reports the show's ratings dropped from an already-low series premiere last week on ABC, and to make matters worse, the show's lead-in, "American Idol," actually rose versus the previous Monday.
You probably didn't hear that JUSSIE SMOLLETT's agreement to forfeit his $100,000 bond to the City of Chicago as part of Cook County's decision to drop charges against him. Nobody's mentioned the cash amount in their stories about him... just noting that the other reason was his "volunteer service in the community" for his release. Nice move by Jussie's attorneys.
Oldies alert: There's a tour in the works featuring the holograms of BUDDY HOLLY and ROY ORBISON. The "Rock 'N Roll Dream Tour" will also have a live band and back-up singers, and Rolling Stone says tickets will go on sale this Friday for the various venues. -
