Enrique Iglesias's new album goes double platinum

Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias Tuesday received a double platinum certification in the US and Puerto Rico for his album "Euphoria", which has been one of the top-selling releases ever since it hit store shelves.


The album, the ninth that Iglesias has released in his musical career, went on sale July 6, 2010, and was in first place on the charts for 11 non-consecutive weeks, according to Billboard magazine.

In addition, according to his label, Universal Music, this new work by the Spanish singer became the year's top-selling Latino album.

Also, the first single in Spanish on the album - "Cuando me enamoro" - was in first place on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs list for 17 non-consecutive weeks.

Iglesias also has had great success with numbers like "I Like It", a duet with rapper Pitbull, which went triple platinum upon having sold more than three million online copies, and "Tonight", the second single in English, which went platinum with more than a million digital sales.

Currently, the performer is on his "Euphoria Tour" in the US, kicking the project off Jan 29 by filling the Jose Miguel Agrelot Colosseum in Puerto Rico and being joined onstage by the Puerto Rican duet Wisin and Yandel and by Pitbull.

Iglesias and Kournikova secretly married?

Anna Kournikova has fuelled rumours of a secret marriage to Enrique Iglesias after being pictured in public with apparent engagement and wedding rings.

The Russian tennis star, who has been dating Iglesias since 2002, was spotted leaving a Hollywood eatery on Friday night proudly sporting a sparkling wedding band on her ring finger.

The Daily Mail claims that Kournikova was also wearing an 'engagement ring' - which she was first seen with last month - despite previously claiming during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show that she saw no point in getting married.

The status of the pair's relationship has long been speculated upon, as neither party has ever confirmed their engagement or marriage even though Kournikova had been seen sporting an engagement-style ring as far back as July 2009.

Iglesias stated back in October that he has no intention of marrying Kournikova.

'Iglesias, Kournikova are together'


Singer Enrique Iglesias's representative has dismissed rumours that the pop star has split from his longterm girlfriend Anna Kournikova.

"They are definitely together. Enrique has been out of the country on a promotional tour, so maybe that's where the speculation is coming from," contactmusic.com quoted his representative as saying.

The singer has been dating the former tennis star since 2002 but despite their eight-year relationship, the couple has consistently denied having any plans to marry.

I love getting naked

Enrique Iglesias has confessed that he greatly enjoys being naked and does "stupid things" whenever he strips off.

The 'I Like It' singer, who recently performed a nude water ski to celebrate Spain's World Cup victory, revealed to Bang Showbiz that he regularly takes his clothes off in front of his equally liberal friends.


"I don't know if I'm cool with it, but I'm not extremely embarrassed," he said. "I kind of like making fun of myself.

"I have five good friends and one of them is an exhibitionist, so I think we all follow him. Whenever he gets naked we all get naked and do stupid things."

Despite his own confidence with showing flesh, Iglesias admitted his concern that Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger wasn't comfortable filming the raunchy video for their new song 'Heartbeat'.

"I'm a dude at the end of the day," he said. "It's a lot easier for a guy than a girl. She had the difficult task. But she was a trooper and the director made it very easy and made it look good."

Enrique Iglesias denies Winehouse row

Enrique Iglesias has denied reports of a spat with Amy Winehouse.

The 'I Like It' singer reportedly lost his temper with Winehouse when she interrupted him during a performance earlier this week.

Iglesias told the BBC that the story was "completely made up".

"The story came from 'a source'. How come they always say 'a source'? I didn't even know Amy Winehouse was there," he claimed.

"The thing that makes it even funnier is I told my manager that I'd do an interview with the paper to show that it was not true, or ask them to retract the story, but it's funny how the media will never retract something. They will never want to prove they're wrong."

The 35-year-old, who is currently promoting his new album Euphoria , expressed his annoyance at the media reporting false information.

"I'm good friends with Ricky Martin's manager and I remember when those pictures came out of him and another guy at the beach, the papers said it was his boyfriend, but it was actually his brother.

"All they had to do was do a little bit of research," he said. "It's funny - you've got to laugh and you can't really take it seriously."

However the singer admitted that he would continue to ignore most press reports.

"I think if they ever said anything that was life-threatening, or if I had a son and the stuff they printed was going to hurt him, then I would take action, but anything stupid I don't care."

Enrique Iglesias can't stand Kournikova's excess perfume!


Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias has revealed he "can't stand it" when his girlfriend Anna Kournikova wears too much perfume.

The 34-year-old has said he prefers former tennis ace Kournikova's natural scent to any expensive fragrances and can't take it when she pours excess of it, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Women who wear too much perfume put me off. I can't stand it when she (Kournikova) puts too much scent on," he said.

Iglesias who has been dating Kournikova for over seven years is planning to start a family with the blonde beauty, but denies claims that she is already pregnant. "We're just fine for now. No kids, no weddings. The time for that will come in the next 10 or 15 years. Every once in a while the rumours do the rounds that Anna is pregnant. As far as I know it's not true! They've had Anna pregnant five or six times already," he said.
