Wow….what is her deal? I mean, she’s the freakin’ cokehead but she wants to drag other folks into her crap.
Seems Amy’s concert this weekend was pretty exciting. Besides attacking a fan, she also attacked another celeb, for no reason apparently. As she sang, she ad libbed some love to her jailed up hubby Blake.
Then, as she performed Unholy War, she said, “I’m not opening for a c*** like Kanye.” What? Who knew she had beef with him?
Kanye’s response to Amy? He blogged about it, saying, “THIS JUST IN…AMY WINEHOUSE HATES ME!!! NOW I’VE REALLY MADE IT!!! LOL!!!”
Amy Winehouse may be all doped up most of the time but that’s not stopping her from winning any awards. Wino came out with the award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically for ‘Love is a Losing Game’ at the 53rd Ivor Novello Awards which was held in London on Thursday. The Ivors celebrate excellence in songwriting as hosted by the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters. In true Wino fashion, she arrived too late to claim her award so her dad Mitch and mom Janis had to accept it in her behalf. Her dad said “She’s sorry she can’t be here but she sends her love. She is getting better and she’d like to send her love to everyone at the Ivors who first recognized her talent.”
It’s official. Amy Winehouse will not record the theme for the next Bond movie ‘Quantum of Solace’.
Producer Mark Ronson has told the press that Amy is not ready to start recording “unless by some miracle of science it gets recorded and someone sings a vocal,” he said.
Ronson confirmed that they did not get as far as signing a contract to do the theme but they had recorded a demo for the Bond movie.
When Winehouse is ready to record again, Ronson will be ready to record her. “She has always made her own decisions about her music. Needless to say, this is part of the process between artist and producer and we’re sure they will continue to make great music together,” he said.
It was hoped Amy would be in a position to record the song but given the incidents in recent weeks, it may be some time before she re-enters the studio.
Amy Winehouse is plotting to take control of her $20million fortune and start her own record label The Rehab singer has been discussing her secret plans with new fella Alex Haines and close aides, and intends to quit Island Records after her next album. A pal revealed: “For the first time in her career, Amy is beginning to have her head turned by the cash she can make. It’s never been a huge deal in the past, but she is beginning to realise everyone else is making all the money out of her success. Her deal with Island ends after the next record. That’s why they are trying to get her to clean up first and make sure it’s a classic. Once she gets that out she wants to set up her own label. She plans to release her own material on it, as well as her mates like Tyler James and Remi Nicole. She’s been planning it with Alex, who has a bit of music know-how from working as her manager’s assistant.” This doesn’t sound like a great idea to me. I’ve never had Amy down as a self-starter. And Alex — pictured playing on a swing while his missus worked on the new Bond theme in Henley recently — hardly looks like a business mastermind. The project is part of a big push by Amy to take control of her cash. She spoke to financial advisers about keeping jailed hubby Blake Fielder-Civil’s mitts off it before she dumped him last week. It was announced yesterday how he wants a $6million payout. Amy also discussed taking over the financial steering wheel from her dad Mitch, who currently dolls out a modest income for her to live on. It may be that her bosses at Universal, Island’s parent company, allow her to set up the label under their umbrella, with a big royalties deal as a sweetener. And if it’s not called Rehab Records, I’ll eat her beehive. Actually, on second thoughts…
Singer Amy Winehouse’s jailbird husband is demanding a £3million divorce payout as he rages over being dumped.
Junkie Blake Fielder-Civil, 25, has told his lawyers he wants £250,000 for every month of their year’s marriage, despite being behind bars for part of it. And he fumed to pals after being ditched by the 24-year-old Back to Black singer: “She wouldn’t even be alive if it wasn’t for me.”
A friend said: “At first Blake refused to believe Amy had dumped him, but his initial devastation has been replaced by rage. He said Amy owes everything to him — he inspired her music and says he saved her life. As a result of Amy his life will never be the same and he wants to make her compensate him. He has demanded £3million at the very least from her £10million fortune.”
Sources at Pentonville Prison said Fielder-Civil had gone back to his old druggie ways after it was revealed Amy had bedded her manager’s assistant ALEX HAYNES, 22. He begged for heroin from another lag and inhaled it after getting his first clean drugs report in three months.
He has since been put on suicide watch at the North London jail, where he is held on remand awaiting a hearing on assault and trial-fixing charges.
Meanwhile Amy’s dad Mitch, 57, gave her new love his blessing yesterday after cutting short a Spanish holiday and flying home.
Mitch spent an hour with Amy and Alex at her mews home in Camden and was relieved to find her back on track after a wild boozy spree last week.
Later Amy emerged dressed in hot pants and knotted cropped shirt. Alex left the house alone to avoid them being pictured together.
Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson will write and record the theme to the new James Bond film next week.
The superproducer arrived at Amy’s house on Thursday night to take her gear, so to speak, to his country retreat in Henley.
The Back To Black star will join him in the next few days and stay for a week to put together the biggest song of their careers. It will feature in 22nd Bond movie Quantum Of Solace, which is out in October.
A source revealed: “Amy and Mark are really excited. They see this as the biggest thing they have ever done. Mark collected her clothes and guitar to take to his place. She will join him soon and they will lock themselves away to write and record the song. They have no idea what they’re going to do. In true Amy fashion, they’re going to busk it. But I’m sure it will be brilliant. The new Bond film is supposed to be really dark so Amy will fit the bill perfectly.”
Amy went on an all-night bender after Mark’s visit, leaving her home in Camden, North London, for Soho at 4am and not returning until three hours later.
Amy has recorded her most successful material — including Grammy-winning hit Rehab — with Ronson.
My source revealed: “They’ve got a great understanding. She comes up with a basic idea and he makes it happen.”
In February movie chiefs told Amy she could do the Bond theme if she stayed clean until April.
Corinne Bailey-Rae is mourning over the sudden and tragic death of her husband. Its alleged that saxophonist Jason Rae, 31, died of a drink and drug overdose. Police found his body on Saturday in the Hyde Park area of Leeds, and subsequently arrested a 32 year old man on suspicion of supplying controlled drugs.
Rae was the saxophonist in The Haggis Horns, who’d performed with Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse. The band have cancelled their upcoming shows.
Corinne and Jason met in a Leeds jazz club and were married in 2001.
Fragile pop drug-addict Amy Winehouse is suffering from a mysterious painful lump on her face.
The troubled singer, 24, tried to conceal her swollen, bruised left cheek with make-up as she moved into a new home in East London.
But last night a close friend confirmed the health scare, adding that Amy had made an emergency appointment to see a doctor. The pal said: “She has suffered some form of skin infection - maybe an allergic reaction.”
However a doctor commented: “I think the most likely explanation is a direct blow, either accidental or deliberate. A skin complaint wouldn’t cause swelling. It could be she’s walked into a door or fallen over - which is very likely with her drug habit.”
Last night Amy’s spokesman said: “Amy has been diagnosed with impetigo which she’s been told can be highly contagious. Because of that se’s been put on antibiotics and may have to stay home alone for the next few days.”
Impetigo is an infection of the skin caused by bacteria, which causes a blistered crusty rash. But it does not cause swelling.
Amy Winehouse almost gave organizers of the Brit Awards a heart attack due to worrying after she missed her rehearsals on Monday. Fortunatly, Wino showed up on Tuesday and ran through her performance with Mark Ronson on their duet ‘Valerie’ which was originally sung by the Zutons. Later on in the evening, the 5-time Grammy winner and her producer hit up London’s Jazz After Dark.
It’s nice to see that she’s keeping up with her work. That only means that she’s finally got her priorities straight. Now if she could just split with her incarcerated husband then all will be good in the world.
Even though the US reversed their decision and agreed to give Amy Winehouse a visa late Friday for her to be able to fly out to LA and perform at this Sunday’s Grammy Awards, the troubled singer has opted to stay in London. Smart move. However, she will still be performing live via satellite.
Her publicists have released a statement regarding this saying “Unfortunately, due to the logistics involved and timing complications, Amy will not be traveling to the U.S. to perform at the Grammys in person. Amy would like to thank all of those people, in particular the staff involved at the U.S. Embassy in London, who have all worked so hard to expedite her application.â€
Amy Winehouse, along with a nurse from her rehab facility as well as her father Mitch, took a break from her program and stepped out of the Capio Nightingale Hospital in London on Wednesday. The recovering drug addict paid a visit to her incarcerated husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, at Pentonville prison where he’s been stuck in since November.
Wino is looking healthier than she was a few weeks ago. That’s a good sign that rehab is working for her. And that means that she needs to stay there if we are to have any hope that she’s going to be ok and around for a good long while.
Proving that the business world is cold and cruel and all about the profits; Amy Winehouse’s callous record label have boasted about the troubled star’s sales figures and “amazing marketing opportunities”, while she languishes in rehab.
Universal Music made vast sums of money from the drug addict during 2007, during which time she tumbled deeper into a debilitating reliance on heroin and cocaine. Her 3.4 million albums sales worldwide boosted profits for the firm and they’re keen to trumpet their success, despite the tastelessness of their timing.
Universal Music International’s vice president Hassan Choudhry gleefully announced: “Everyone is extremely happy with the amount of records we’ve sold and a lot of it has been down to some amazing marketing opportunities in the market when the artist wasn’t available. There’s no getting away from the fact all the coverage has kept Amy Winehouse’s profile at the highest level.â€
Tt’s 100% real and 100% official! Amy Winehouse has entered a rehabilitation clinic on Thursday as confirmed by her record label Universal Music Group. Praise the Lord!
The singer has been under fire recently for her ongoing battle against drug addiction. The most recent incident was when damning evidence of a video of her smoking crack came out. Her reps have released a statement saying “Amy decided to enter the facility today after talks with her record label, management, family and doctors. She has come to understand that she requires specialist treatment to continue her ongoing recovery from drug addiction and prepare for her planned appearance at the Grammy Awards. … Amy entered the facility by mutual agreement and continues to receive the full support of all concerned.†They tried to make me go to rehab, I said yes, yes, yes!
Mary J. Blige is praying Amy Winehouse survives her battle with drugs, because the future of music relies on her.
Well a lot of people are praying for Amy I am sure but I doubt for the same reasons.
The RnB superstar senses music is heading for a renaissance, and needs talents like Winehouse to help the industry recover from years of “drought”.
She says “Someone like Amy Winehouse is so important to the music business right now. It’s very painful to see her battle drugs. I hope she makes it. I think the music industry kind of got lost and we ended up in a drought for a while, but I see it making a turn, so instead of music being just synthetic, we’ll see it going back to actual instruments. That’s what I’m hoping for anyway, because that’s the kind of music I’m making.”
Amy Winehouse hit the headlines (as she does on a regular occasion) a few months ago for receiving the most number of nominations for the annual Grammy awards; despite her controversial lifestyle.
Amy has received six nominations for the show and has been lined up as the big star of the ceremony. But all could be in jeopardy as US officials have demanded that in order to gain a visa to enter the country Amy must take a drug test to prove she is clean.
Predictably this has her team desperately pulling out their hair; as sources say she would have to be clean of drugs for weeks to pass – and the award ceremony is February 10th. Amy has said she isn’t ready to quit so her performance is really on the line. Her recent holiday in Mustique was all about getting clean; and it did help; but it is hard to believe there will be a time before going to the US that she would pass the test.
Amy Winehouse has been arrested on suspicion of “perverting the course of justiceâ€. For all those who don’t speak British, that means interfering with a police investigation. But it’s not as heavy as the arrest for her husband Blake Fielder-Civil.
The singer’s rep has confirmed that Wino has been arrested but explains that this is common practice in the UK. A person is technically arrested when they are brought in for questioning but Wino has not been charged with anything and that her “arrest†was actually “by appointmentâ€. She has since been released but is due back for more questioning in March.
I know. It’s Amy Winehouse. Again. But she just keeps popping up. I have been able to write something about this girl for days now. And today is just another chapter in the Amy-Drug saga.
At her London performance at the Hammersmith Apollo on the 24th, the troubled singer took to the stage; only to slur her way through most of her songs and cut her set short. Fans were left wondering what they had paid for, and indeed many demanded a refund. One fan said, “I paid to see Amy, not some spaced out girl wandering the stage. She needs helpâ€.
Amy, despite claiming you are clean, we don’t believe you. And we will only stick around for so long before you become some washed out junkie who used to be famous.
In her tour, which ends Dec 17th, Winehouse’s next gig is tonight at the Brighton Centre. I wish all of those with tickets luck; I hope Amy is on form and doesn’t repeat Saturday’s behaviour.
We’re guessing this isn’t how Amy Winehouse—and her handlers—envisioned her grand comeback. Just hours after paying her first visit to hubby Blake Fielder-Civil in prison, the “Rehab” singer kicked off the first night of her oft-delayed U.K. tour Wednesday, slurring her way through lyrics, insulting the audience and walking off stage midsong.
It doesn’t matter how good she is. The music industry is littered with more “one hit wonders” than with success stories. If she wants to throw it away, let her. I’m sure there are a million more just waiting to take her place and with equal or better talent. Just do it on your own time, please, Amy. She hasn’t even “made it” all the way yet and she’s screwing it up already. I think the girl is talented and I like her music. It’s lovely what drugs and boozing does to anyone (lol) but to see someone be given a chance to succeed and screw it up is just pitiful.
And here I thought she was already on the right path and walking the straight and narrow. It was too good to be true. Amy Winehouse still needs to get her life together and fast!
The ‘Rehab’ singer had a concert in Zurich a few nights ago and it was a complete turnaround from her Amsterdam show. To say that it was a complete disaster would be putting it gently. She was constantly drinking on stage, was crying all the time and she could hardly sing her songs.
A lot of people reportedly left her show 20 minutes into it. Now that’s just sad.
Did you ever think that Amy Winehouse would become a fashion icon? I don’t know about anyone else, but even just by asking it, I know it’s so wrong on so many levels. With the beehive hair, bat wing eyeliner and ballet shoes, who would really want to copy her? Perennial copy cat Aubrey O’Day of course!
One of the members of Diddy’s pop clone girl group Danity Kane was spotted pretty much mimicking Wino’s hair do. The 23-year old singer rocked her own blonde octopus weave at a Miami club on Saturday which made heads turn. And not in a good way.
Remember back in August when Winehouse overdosed and was rushed to the hospital for ‘exhaustion’? Well instead of helping his wife kick her addiction, Blake reportedly abandoned Winehouse because he wanted to take more heroin. That shows you what heroin does to a person. She probably totally understood and said “smuggle me some in a McDonald’s bag..” They are the most cracked up couple in the whole wide universe and I can’t see them staying put together for long, right now I think they have the same supplier that provides them the drugs they feed on so they are managing to party together, once they have another source them wouldn’t be so dependent on each other. And you can see she is going the Lindsay Lohan way, how many ever times she get into a rehab she will never get cleaned up, she is the one who will just carry on with her addiction and get messed up over and over again.
You would think that since she’s on vacation, ‘Rehab’ singer Amy Winehouse would be out of trouble. Not. Wino was a bloody mess last week when she violently vomited blood all over her Caribbean hotel room.
The staff of Jade Mountain resort in St. Lucia were horrified when they were sent to the singer’s suite to clean up the mess. One worker commented to the Brit tabloid The Mirror saying that blood and vomit were all over the bathroom and that is was just terrible.
Management ultimately offered to send out for a doctor by Wino said, what else, ‘no, no, no’.
It’s clear when it comes to statistics that the first trip to rehab doesn’t really work. But does it really count when you’ve only spent a few days in rehab?
After only a couple of days since she went in, Amy Winehouse has already checked out of rehab.
I honestly don’t know what to say. It’s quite obvious that she needs all the help she can get. But there’s only so much you can help with when the person you’re trying to help doesn’t want to be helped.
It’s a sad sad story.
Try to make her stay in rehab but she said ‘no, no, no’.
What took so damn long?! Amy Winehouse has been a heroin-addicted meth head for the last year and only now is she going to rehab?! Well.. better late than never, I guess. And guess who else is joining her in detoxing? Her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil. The couple is going to rehab for their heroin addiction. Wowie, two some shall be awesome the press has all the material for a chilling tale of these to drugies and plenty of crap to write about. Yet folks, once out the rehab they shall still be at the heroin addiction. Only a major catastrophe like that thing of Anthony Hopkins ‘MY Golden voice’ thing for which he left smoking or drugs, only a similar or an even stupid incident may help them give up on their heroin addiction. For these guys it’s more of a closed in the room vacation, nothing is gonna change until they do not wanna change. Let’s hope they both get help. Maybe Amy will FINALLY get sober and realize her hair is disgusting, she needs veneers, laser tattoo removal, and a daily shower? Let’s freakin hope
