Not to Jamaica at least… the recent rumor that the singer might take her soon-to-be-again husband Blake Fielder-Civil with her to Jamaica has been cleared up as being nonsense by one of Amy Winehouse’s representatives: “He isn’t going out there, no. The whole point of the trip is to record out there, she has a whole album of songs written and has worked on it with Salaam Remi over here and will be over there.” Right… Amy Winehouse probably wasn’t too psyched about this decision but it seems like it’s not her call. I wonder if anybody is holding bets on whether or not she will actually do her work there and what the odds are. Maybe even Blake Fielder-Civil might want to get in on that.
It seems that since Katie Price has been laying off his back with all of the wonderful things she used to do, Peter Andre feels the need to try some other extreme sports. So he’s got it in his head that he wants to work with Amy Winehouse. This is what he said on the matter: “I think Amy is an absolutely incredible singer, and I would be thrilled to work with her at some point. I know she’s had her fair share of troubles, but I think she’s a lovely girl who just needs a cuddle. I have bumped into her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield at a few things over the last year. Dionne always tells me how much Amy likes me, and how every time I’m on TV, she points at the TV and says, ‘There’s my Pete!’” Peter Andre sure is in for a world of surprise… but well, he probably has it coming for him since he’s asking for it.
Amy Winehouse’s father, Mitch, is speaking out about his daughter finally getting clean of drugs. Daddy Wino said “I just want all her fans to know that she’s back, drug free, and she will be making amazing music again, very soon.” He also revealed that the troubled singer has actually been clean since Christmas and that it wasn’t easy to get her there. In a desperate move, Mitch actually faked a heart attack to get his daughter to clean up her act. While Wino is still having issues with alcohol, things are looking much better for the singer and there are plans for new music in the future.
Amy Winehouse’s estranged husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, 25, will divorce her in two days’ time.
The singer returned to Britain this week ahead of the divorce, only to raise the ire of Sadie Frost over her inclusion in a party for Frost’s ex-boyfriend.
The couple, who have not spoken in months, are set to have a decree nisi announced at the family division of the High Court in London. Under British law, the decree takes effect after a mandatory six weeks and one day of separation.
Winehouse has returned from eight months on the island of St Lucia. She was seen crying on her arrival at Gatwick Airport earlier this week.
A source said the divorce was the best thing for Winehouse, 25, whose wild behaviour and drinking have led to fears for her wellbeing. The source said: "It is onwards and upwards for Amy. This part of her life is behind her. She and Blake have not been in contact for a long time and she has a lot of good things to look forward to."
Documents citing the reason Fielder-Civil is divorcing Winehouse will be released later tomorrow. It is understood he has cited adultery. He expected to stake a claim on some of her estimated £10 million fortune. The couple married in 2007.
The singer, or maybe soon to be ex-singer, has recently made a statement that she is willing to give up everything in order to get back with Blake Fielder-Civil. On her Facebook account, Amy Winehouse wrote: “Amy would chuck it all in for ‘im indoors. She swiftly followed it with another message, saying: ‘Nothing is worth as much as Blake.’” Considering the message seems to be written in the third person and it makes absolutely no sense, it must really be Amy Winehouse. Or it may very well be a hoax, but still the matter apparently stands as Amy Winehouse has also been quoted as saying: “Where’s my oblivious Blakey boy?” Still, I don’t think she realizes that it’s pretty much over… once the 17-year old school girl comes into the picture it really is over and done with.
You just have to love that smile – or whatever that thing her mouth is doing. Amy Winehouse made a couple of funny faces for photographers as she arrived home at Gatwick Airport in London after a flight from Barbados last weekend. The 25-year old British singer is rumored to have returned to London to make amends with her estranged husband and recently released felon Blake Fielder Civil. However, his mom has said that he wants to follow through on the divorce and move on with his life. You know what I think is really screwed up about all this is that Wino and her estranged hubby are barely the ones who talk about their personal lives. It’s always their parents who do the talking.
Amy Winehouse knows she’s a wreck or even more and fears that if her current ways with drugs and alcohol continues then she might well become the newest member of the “27 Club” – the tragic group of rock stars who died in their prime.
Amy has sung a song called Rehab and that where she has been for most of this year. Not only that she has had to spend most of last month as well in hospital after suffering an adverse reaction to medication. Alex Haines, a former aide to the 25-year-old has a different version of Amy’s fears – according to him the singer is obsessed with her own mortality.
Ha Ha 27 is not prime its lean, 37 is prime, 47 is brisket, 57 is shank, 67 is rump, 77 is hamburger, 87 is gristles, 97 is flies buzzing around your head and landing on sore bald spots.
I hope Amy Winehouse still refuses to shell out any money for Blake Fielder-Civil’s stint in rehab. The UK’s Sun has recently reported that Blake texted her on a borrowed phone from the toilet at rehab begging her to smuggle in some crack. It doesn’t look like rehab is doing anything for him. The tabloid also revealed that the husband and wife were supposed to see each other this past Monday. Wino reportedly said through her intercom “I get to see him Monday. Things weren’t going too well — we didn’t get to have sex for a whole year. I love the man.” I hope she didn’t smuggle in crack if the visit did go through.
The UK’s Mirror is reporting that he love is gone between Amy Winehouse and her producer Mark Ronson. Wino has reportedly finished a number of songs for her new album and she hasn’t been working with Mark who worked on a lot of tracks for her huge album ‘Back to Black’. Wino has instead been working with Salaam Remi who has previously worked with her on her debut album ‘Frank’. The paper says that Wino and Mark have yet to make up after their falling out when trying to record her ill-fated James Bond theme song. I just hope she still has it in her to actually finish her album. After it’s out, then she can go out and OD.
I don’t know how to feel anymore about Amy Winehouse actually being able to make it to a gig. On one hand, I’m glad she has enough sense in her to make good on her commitments. On the other hand, if she gives crappy shows anyway, why bother? Why isn’t there anyone around her, not even her parents, who will just stop her from getting onstage performing when it’s obvious that she needs time to regroup and get some serious help? Maybe it’s because everyone around her depends on her for a pay check anyway. Despite looking like a mess, Wino still made it to the V Festival in England where she put on a great crap show for all.
The apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree as Mitch Winehouse is clearly as delusional as his daughter Amy. Poppa Wino thinks that his daughter was hospitalized on Monday because someone drugged her. He’s actually convinced that someone put Ecstasy in Amy’s drink. Mitch has called the police to register his suspicions. A source says “Mitch is furious. He’s certain someone put E in Amy’s drink — and he’s determined to get to the bottom of it. He is convinced that one of her hangers-on was responsible and he’s waiting for a toxicology report to show what caused her to fit. If his suspicions are proved right, he wants someone to be punished. He is seriously unhappy about Amy’s flat being a stop-over for randoms and wants an end to it.” Did it ever occur to him that maybe his own kid took the E?
What a difference a day makes in the life of Amy Winehouse. She looked almost innocent before flying to her Saturday night Glastonbury gig.
But last night she was back at her London clinic after a shambolic gig that included punching a fan in the face as she left the stage to sing.
She had begun confident but got forgetful, slurry and angry – making me wonder if there was something in the drink she was sipping. As she rambled between songs, spat and called Kanye West rude names, the crowd turned on her.
The police received no complaints and last night said there would be no investigation.
Meanwhile backstage, White Stripes rocker Jack White raved: “Amy’s a treasure, the Janis Joplin of our generation. The crowd don’t appreciate her.”
Mates feared the stress of Glasto could get Amy back on drugs after two weeks of detox. Judging from her antics, it seems their fears may be realized.
A publicist for Amy Winehouse’s record label has said that the singer’s father misspoke in a statement to the press about Wino’s health. The publicist said “She is not diagnosed with full-blown emphysema, but instead has early signs of what could lead to emphysema.” In a new interview with BBC Radio, Daddy Wino downplayed his doomsday statements saying “”Amy really hasn’t got emphysema, there’s traces of emphysema. Obviously, if she doesn’t quit smoking, it’s going to get worse, like everyone else … with patience her lungs will recover completely.” He also said that performing might do his daughter some good saying “When she’s been inactive work-wise then that’s when the problems really start. The doctors have said that medically there isn’t any reason why she can’t do Glastonbury.”
Amy Winehouse was only supposed to be kept overnight at the hospital after her fainting spell at her London home on Monday but test results on Tuesday prevented that as her results were inconclusive. Is it that hard to analyze her blood having traces of crack, heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and whatever else? A rep for Wino spoke of her extended stay saying “She’s staying there for the time being. They are still not quite sure what happened and the tests were inconclusive. Doctors want to get to the bottom of it before releasing her. There will be further tests and they will keep her under observation. She seems to be fine … but they are taking their time to be sure.”
According to new reports, Amy Winehouse is paying five inmates to protect her husband Blake Fielder-Civil safe from other prisoners and actually shells out around $2,000 a month to support his drug habit behind bars. That is so pathetic. Wino’s husband had the guts to beat someone in a bar and offered to pay people off to stay quiet about it. That alone says that he’s capable of taking care of himself. Wino is being so pathetic when it comes to her junky husband. And she’s supporting a drug habit! Maybe she was the one who supported Pete Doherty’s drug habit during his latest stint in jail too.
Amy Winehouse has released a statement via her publicist after her embarrassing and unprofessional performance at the Rock in Rio festival in Portugal this past weekend. “Amy was overwhelmed by the goodwill shown by the audience in Lisbon and even apologized for her below par vocals on stage, after suffering from a sore throat all week. She was given the option to cancel, but was determined to take her first step back on to the live scene and although her throat was not at 100 per cent, Amy felt it important for fans to see that she is back working at her craft. She will continue to her comeback at events throughout the summer.” The only craft she’s making is making a fool out of herself.
The Zutons want to work with Amy Winehouse but are wary of her wild side.
The British band say they would like to collaborate with the troubled singer – who recorded a version of their hit track ‘Valerie’ with super producer Mark Ronson – but fear they couldn’t keep up with her on a night out.
Frontman Dave McCabe explained: “I really like her version of ‘Valerie’. I think it’s a totally positive thing, plus we get paid for it! I’d like to have a go at working with her, but I’m not sure what we’d do. I don’t know if I’d go out with her though – if we took her to Liverpool, she would probably get us into loads of s**t like she does in London when she is drunk, only it would be worse.”
The original version of ‘Valerie’ reached number nine in the British singles chart when it was released in June 2006, while Amy and Mark’s version hit the number two spot last October.
Amy Winehouse has been warned by her label to keep out of trouble – or NEVER release another album.
Chiefs at Universal issued the stern ultimatum that the druggy singer can only put out another CD if she is clean. The firm’s European head honcho, Lucian Grainge, made a similar threat earlier this year to get her into rehab after press exposed footage of her smoking crack.
But label bosses have watched her slip back to her old ways and have reminded her of the conditions of releasing a third record. A source revealed: “Amy has been reminded of her responsibilities. Unless she is clean she will not be allowed to release another album. She took notice when Lucian talked to her earlier in the year and agreed to go to rehab. But she didn’t take it seriously enough. They would never release her from her deal, they would just not put an album out.”
Amy’s label are now privately accepting there will be no album until 2009 after she scrapped plans to start recording in the Bahamas. And my source added: “The label were not impressed. She has been warned about her behaviour and needs to keep the standards up.”
Universal’s stance suggests this could be the last album of her deal. Otherwise they would be churning something out to capitalise on her fame. And while it’s commendable they are taking a tough stand, I think Universal need Amy more than she needs them.
Sure, we know Vince Gill was joking, but anyone should know Kanye is always looking for someone to slam. Well, tonight he got slammed.
Vince stepped onstage to accept an award from former Beatle Ringo Starr. Vince was also nominated for Album of the Year, as was Kanye. When he accepted the award, he said, “I just got an award given to me by a Beatle. Have you had that happen yet, Kanye?”
I expected Kanye to leap to the stage and beat him down. Vince said later that he was just having some fun. “He was laughing. I’m a smartass. You know, I can’t help it. He seemed to think that he and Amy Winehouse were the only ones worth of the album of the year tonight.”
Yeah, Vince, you won’t be laughing when you get shanked.
Looks like Amy Winehouse will be having a late night on Sunday. She may have been denied in getting a visa by the US embassy in London but the multiple Grammy nominee will be performing at the biggest night in music. Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Wino will be appearing and performing via satellite. If she wins any awards, she will be accepting via satellite as well.
The Grammy’s broadcast live at 8PM Eastern. Even if Amy is to open the show or is one of the first to perform, she won’t go on earlier than 1AM Monday morning, London time. If she wins Album of the Year, the last award, she won’t go to bed until 4AM. The girl needs some rest! She’s in rehab after all.
