New Chatter

Amy Winehouse proves that she’s just about to kill herself.

Amy Winehouse turned up to her DJ set at London’s Monarch pub in the Camden-area looking absolutely tragic on Thursday night.

Is there something new about that? WHY ARE THEY STILL HIRING HER?

She was seen violently fighting with her security guards, punching them out of her way as they tried to get her under control.

Her waif, dirty and wasted appearance reportedly shocked awaiting fans (She still has fans?).

And like adding insult to injury, she appeared to have scabs and scratches on her arms and legs and something black and strange on her tooth.
So sad to see such great talent to go away.

Amy Winehouse’s family hasn’t had success in getting the British pop wreck clean so now it’s her record label’s turn. The label bosses have reportedly put Wino on round-the-clock watch in an attempt to get her to clean up her act. The singer is being monitored 24/7 to make sure she stays out of harm’s way. An insider says “There is also a security guard stationed outside her house around the clock to vet any undesirables. From now on there’ll be no more waifs and strays - or fans - coming into her place, wreaking havoc. Crucially, they don’t want known drug dealers coming anywhere near her. Amy has to give them names of people expected. Anyone who turns up uninvited will be sent packing. It’s for her own good.” Let’s hope it works.

She may or may not have emphysema but one thing isn’t changing for Amy Winehouse – she’s not quitting smoking. She’s reportedly having some serious pulmonary issues but Wino was spotted inhaling a cancer stick just one day after she was released from the hospital. Daddy Wino keeps saying that if she doesn’t stop smoking the rock “It won’t just ruin her voice, it will kill her.” Meanwhile, her rep says that she doesn’t really have emphysema but rather just an early stage condition that may or may not lead to the disease. The early stages are the best time to quit so it doesn’t lead to anything more serious. Daddy Wino has a point.

After spending several days under observation in the hospital, Amy Winehouse was released and allowed to go home. She has a tuberculosis scare, but it’s nothing more than crack-induced emphysema.

So, now she’s off to start practicing for her performance at Nelson Mandela’s birthday party. What kind of freak decided that Amy Winehouse would be an appropriate performance for that party?

Let’s all do some crack and be happy and celebrate…umm, yeah, whatever….and then let’s all die.

Tina Turner wants to help Amy Winehouse. The ‘Simply the Best’ singer - whose ex-husband Ike Turner battled various drug addictions - says ‘Rehab’ star Amy needs to kick her habit.

Tina, 68, who is currently planning her comeback tour, said: “My view of Amy is that her problems started before her success. And the drugs are making it hard for her to deal with everything. When you take drugs that feeling passes and you have nothing. I don’t even know if you can remember what that feeling was. You get nothing from drugs except a feeling and bad health.”

Tina claims 24-year-old Amy can enjoy a long and successful career - but only if she cleans up her act. She added: “If she was clean now she would be celebrating now because she is wonderful. Her voice is absolutely timeless.”

Amy Winehouse is in the clear after being arrested last week in relation to the crack smoking video of hers earlier this year. The police have decided not to pursue any further action against the ‘Rehab’ singer. Wino’s spokesperson released a statement on Wednesday morning saying “Police have confirmed that no action will be taken against Amy Winehouse in relation to an investigation into a video handed to them in January. She was questioned by police last week and released on unconditional bail. They have now concluded their enquiries and no charges will be brought. Amy’s bail date to return to Limehouse police station has been cancelled, bringing this matter to an end. Amy is pleased to be able to move on and concentrate on music and particularly looks forward to seeing her fans again at eagerly awaited festival performances this summer.”

Amy Winehouse was arrested last week for alleged assault on a good Samaritan. We can’t expect anything else from Wino than show up high to visit the cops. According to UK media, it seemed that Wino arrived to her voluntary questioning on Friday completely high on something. She was actually deemed unfit to be interviewed by a doctor at the police station making officers wait at least 4 hours before they could even question her. Wino left the station on Saturday after receiving a formal police caution for assault. She should have been kept in jail away from any drugs. If she could get drugs like Pete Doherty, they should throw her in solitary too.

We may not be seeing her out as much due to her impetigo condition but that’s not preventing Amy Winehouse from being a party animal. Early Tuesday morning, the singer was spotted shouting goodbye to her friends who were leaving her Camden home looking a little worse for wear. Wino can’t be looking like that for much longer if reports are true that she has been offered a lucrative deal by top fashion designer Roberto Cavalli. The offer reportedly comes after Victoria Beckham told the designer how she admired Amy’s unique sense of style. A rep for Amy says that she is still considering many offers at the moment so there’s no confirmation there.

Amy Winehouse will get $1 million to sing for George Clooney and Julia Roberts.

The troubled ‘Rehab’ singer has been offered the staggering sum to perform at the Costume Institute Gala Benefit at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, organized by institute co-chairs George and Julia.

A source said: “Amy was taken aback when she learned that George Clooney and Julia Roberts were after her. Their representatives have been phoning her offices and sending dozens of emails to convince her to take part. She’s seriously considering their generous offer. She hasn’t really taken it in - and keeps saying that her life is getting more surreal by the second.”

Fashion designer and honorary chair Giorgio Armani, who is a huge fan of the Grammy Award winner and pleaded with organisers to ask her to be involved, are hosting the glitzy bash.

The source added: “Giorgio has made no secret to his friends that he would love to work with Amy. He sees this party as an ideal opportunity to sound her out about future projects together.”

Amy’s potential $1 million pay packet is dwarfed by what some other musicians charge for private performances. The Rolling Stones demand up to $8 million - making them the most expensive party act on the planet.

The Eagles charge $7,5 million, while Canadian singer Celine Dion can command up to around $6,5 million.

It seems everywhere Amy Winehouse goes, trouble follows. Guests at the opening of posh fashion house Fendi’s new flagship Paris store were probably expecting handbags, but not handbags at dawn.

The Rehab singer, sporting a nasty bump to the side of her face, was paid a whopping $1000k to perform at the bash. She had attempted to cover the lump with loads of make-up but told the well-heeled guests it was “so big I can see it out of my eye.

Do you get mumps in France?”

The event ended in an almighty scrap among some of the guests as they jockeyed for position to hear her sing. A source at Paris Fashion Week said: “It was a complete fiasco. It got nasty and people were breaking bottles. Organisers had to lock the crowd in without any drinks while she performed.”

The Back To Black singer, winner of NME’s Worst Dressed gong last week, added: “Forgive my ignorance, I don’t know a thing about fashion.”

Amy also revealed during the 40-minute set that she would like to be booked for more gigs, even Bar Mitzvahs and weddings. But she added: “Well maybe not a wedding. My music’s a little too heartbreak.”

Then she got her beehive tangled in her guitar strap. I hate it when that happens.

Amy Winehouse is in the middle of an international clash of the titans! Big media players in both the US and the UK are reportedly desperate to get an exclusive, no-holds-barred interview with the troubled singer. This means that Wino stands to get a lot of money off of her many woes in life.

In the US, CNN’s Larry King and talk show queen Oprah both have pressed Wino’s people for the sit down. In the UK, top anchorman Sir Trevor McDonald is pining for Wino. Sir Trevor has admitted that the US has a money advantage but he is still confident that he can win Wino over.

Eleven days may not have been enough time for Amy Winehouse to spend in rehab. It hasn’t even been a month since she got out, but she was partying with friends over the weekend.

Friday night, she finally left her hole at a London hotel and hit a place in Shoreditch, where she hit the beers. She even had one for the ride home at 2:30 a.m.

Saturday was a girls’ night out with friends for some bowling. They even painted their nails red on the way! What an awesome evening!

Amy Winehouse’s jailbird husband Blake Fielder-Civil will be spitting porridge when he hears about this.

The Rehab singer was all over Blake Wood at fashion designer Andrew Buckler’s party at trendy East London club Shoreditch House. On a night of lavish bashes on both sides of the capital, stars flocked to the West for the Elle Style Awards bash in Notting Hill or East for the London Fashion Week party on Tuesday.

Amy headed to the East End for her first big night out since leaving rehab last week and new Blake didn’t leave her side. One witness said they looked like a loved-up young couple and Blake couldn’t keep his eyes off her.

The source said: “Blake held her bag all night and was snuggled up behind her when she was in the DJ booth, putting his arms around her waist. When a romantic song came on she came out of the booth and slow danced with him. They were gazing into each other’s eyes. They were very openly tactile. If I didn’t know she was a married woman, I would have said they looked like a loved-up young couple. He couldn’t keep his eyes off her.”

Amy has calmed her worried hubby by telling him new Blake is gay; despite his Facebook page saying he is into both men and women. She has a habit of dropping Blake’s name into her live shows and will probably still do so at next week’s Brits.

That’s the advantage of the two main men in your life having the same name — that and not having to get rid of the tattoo on your breast.

Amy Winehouse’s dream of singing at The Grammys this weekend could now be wrecked, after police quizzed her yesterday about smoking crack cocaine.

The Back to Black star, 24, needs a US visa to go to Sunday’s glittering ceremony in Los Angeles, where she is nominated for six gongs. Her chances of being allowed into America were already in doubt after being fined for cannabis possession last October.

Amy is now battling her drug habit in a clinic. A worried pal said: “The timing of this isn’t great. She is desperate to go to The Grammys and needs to show US officials she is taking her rehabilitation seriously.”

Things are not looking good…but I guess that’s what they call consequences.

Just hours after footage was released of her allegedly smoking crack cocaine, singer Amy Winehouse was taken to rehab. The troubled youngster was seen entering London’s Capio Nightingale hospital by concerned dad, Mitch. As she entered the top clinic, which has reportedly treated troubled rocker Pete Doherty, she clutched a note from jailed husband Blake Fielder-Civil, which read: “We’ll get through this because I f***ing believe in us.”

After assessments by specialists, Mitch took Amy home from the clinic but she must return for regular appointments. Her spokesman said: “She is in good spirits.”

Amy was dealt another blow yesterday after Blake’s mother insisted they should get divorce because of the singer’s bad influence on her son. Georgette Fielder-Civil said: “I know Amy is hooked on drugs. That’s her problem. Her pals are a bad influence on her and she’s a bad influence on her husband. I hope they go their own separate ways for their own good. I believe divorce is the only answer.”

The question is will Blake succumb to his mother’s wishes? They seem pretty devoted to me…but you never know with this pair.

Amy Winehouse may have just opened up a new can of worms. She’s now just as bad as Pete Doherty and she needs to put an end to her self-destructive behavior if she doesn’t want to end up dead or in jail.

UK’s The Sun has just published shocking picture’s of Wino smoking crack at a party in London this past weekend. Just like Kate Moss, the signer was secretly videotaped at a drug-fueled bash at her house last Friday night. In addition to inhaling some crack from her glass pipe, Wino also snorted powdered ecstasy and cocaine and even admitted to popping six Valium pills to “bring myself down” as the paper is reporting.

Amy Winehouse’s bleach treatment seems to have affected her taste in music. Sporting her new chopped blonde locks, she was spotted in a London record store this week; purchasing a Luton Grils Choir album, and some sea shanties albums – ditties once sung by sailors.

General consensus is that Amy’s hairstyle is not the best move of the year, and maybe she ought to bring the beehive back. It may have been a bit of a rat’s nest but anything’s an improvement. Even no locks – which beauty experts say would happen if she tried to dye her hair dark straight away anyway.

It hasn’t affected her usual habits though. Despite the warning that she will not be given a visa to attend the Grammies this year; where she has nominations and is the headlining act, unless she passes a drug test; Amy was snapped on her way home from Soho with that telltale whiteness around her nostrils.

Oh dear….

When you look at Amy Winehouse the last thing you think of is fashion. With a string of troubles including drugs, bulimia and a jailed hubby you are more likely to think of a walking disaster area.

Unless of course your name is Karl Lagerfield. The top designer thinks that the singer is his new muse; even going as far as to compare her with sixties French actress Bridget Bardot.

To prove it the new line (ahem) by the designer is totally dedicated to the beehive queen.

Karl said of the singer: “She is a beautiful, gifted artist. And I very much like her hairdo. I took it as an inspiration. Because, in fact, it was also Brigitte Bardot’s hairdo in the late Fifties and Sixties. And now Amy has made it her own style.

“So, when I saw her, I knew it was the right moment. Amy . . . she is the new Brigitte.”

After the massive roller coaster ride that she’s been on, it’s great to see Amy Winehouse back on stage doing what she does best and looking healthy while she’s at it. The troubled Wino made a surprising appearance at the prestigious Mercury Awards in London on Tuesday night.

The ‘Rehab’ singer gave a soul-stirring acoustic performance of ‘Love is a Losing Game’ which brought he house down.

Her surprise appearance at the show gives me hope that she will show up at the MTV Video Music Awards this coming weekend. She’s nominated for three awards and was scheduled to perform but she pulled out last week.
