Amy Winehouse’s new songs, stolen from her home

alysa — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 16:12:46 +0000

Some of Amy Winehouse’s belongings disappeared from her house after thieves have broken in, announces The Sun.
The artist’s father, who was on vacationing with his family to mourn his daughter, suspects that the thieves are acquaintances of Amy.
Mitch Winehouse found out from the singer’s manager that from the house are missing several copies of her new songs composed recently, lyrics, a guitar, and some letters.
On July 23, the day when Amy Winehouse was found dead, over 20 people had free access to the house, among them are relatives, friends, guards and police.
When he’ll return from vacation, Mitch Winehouse will do his best to find out who broke into the house and promises that the guilty one will not go unpunished. ‘Mitch wants to give the offenders a chance to repair their mistake and put back what they stole, so it won’t take an ugly turn’ said a close friend of the Winehouse family to The Sun.

Amy Winehouse commemorated by Jared Leto

In an interview with Rolling Stonemagazine, Jared Leto (30 Seconds To Mars) said that Amy’s death made him remember the days when he used to consume drugs.
Growing up in a hippie environment, conducive to drug use, the artist remembered the frustration and pain that are an important part of the life of a drug addict, and unfortunately, the lives of those around him: “Addiction is a brutal and cruel state that destroys not only the addict but also those close to him / her”.
The singer has shown deep disappointment about what was written in the press about her and about those who judge Amy for her style of life: “The next time a person displays a drug addict behavior, instead of using it as a subject for tabloids, they would rather help the person. Laughing at a person’s behavior in the anguish of addiction and treating it as entertainment, is no less unforgivable than to laugh at someone who has started to deteriorate due to damage caused by any chronic disease”.
Leto added that Amy Winehouse’s death is heartbreaking loss, not only of an extremely talented artist but also a beautiful woman at the beginning of her life: “I understand that the cause of death was not yet determined, but it is quite obvious that she suffered deeply for many years. I feel sorry for her and those around her, the pain during those years and this tragic end. ”

The band U2 dedicated to Amy Winehouse the single Stuck In A Moment You Can’t Get Out Of in the concert held Saturday at TCF Stadium in Minneapolis.
The artists have composed the song for former INXS singer Michael Hutchence, friend of the members of U2, who committed suicide in 1997.
On July 23, the song became a tribute to Amy Winehouse, just four hours after the discovery of the corpse at her house in London.
Before singing the song, Bono told the audience:
‘I wrote the following song for Michael Hutchence, but you will understand why tonight we sing it for Amy Winehouse’ said the singer.
Amy Winehouse was cremated on July 26, three days after her sudden disappearance.
Metropolitan Police opened an investigation at St Pancras Coroner’s Judicial Court, a specialized court in cases of violent and suspicious deaths.
Now, the police, but also relatives and fans of the artist are waiting for toxicology results to determine what killed the singer. Tests will be ready only after several weeks.

The 35-year-old comic has been friends with Winehouse, 26, for some time and he reportedly wants her to meet the California Gurls singer.

A source said to UK newspaper Daily Star: “Amy and Russell have been friends for years as they’re part of the original Camden scene.

“So Amy would love to get to know Katy. And Russ thinks they’ll get on brilliantly as they’re both totally bonkers!”

Brand is set to marry Perry, 25, in October this year after getting engaged in India over the New Year.

Winehouse’s god-daughter plugs herself for EastEnders

Evan — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 18:29:11 +0000

The aspiring 14-year-old god-daughter of Amy Winehouse has her sights set on EastEnders.

Dionne Bromfield, who was interviewed in The Independent, made public her desire to appear in a cameo role on the long-running soap.

“If they are reading this, please give me a cameo,” she told the paper.

Bromfield added that she admired one of the show’s best-loved characters: “I love Stacey Slater.”

Meanwhile, Bromfield will get some practice in with her godmother on a new BBC-3 show that aptly captures stars who mentor someone. In the Winehouse-Bromfield case, that would be an understatement.

Winehouse last year launched a record label, Lionness Records, with the express purpose of promoting her protege.

Pete Doherty’s Former Band Reunites

Evan — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 16:58:52 +0000

Sources are saying that the Libertines, the former rock band of Pete Doherty, will be staging a reunion this summer for the first time in six years. The band is said to be headlining the Reading and Leeds festival, raking in an estimated $2.3 million for the gig. That’s all fine and dandy except for one tiny little detail. Does anyone really think that Pete can stay out of jail for that long or at least stay awake long enough to actually get through the performance? I say it’s not worth it. Pete, Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse are in a class of their own with these types of things.

Amy Winehouse isn’t taking Blake Fielder-Civil after all

Evan — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 21:04:21 +0000

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.

Peter Andre’s new collaboration whishes

Evan — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 00:05:45 +0000

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.

How Wino Got Better

Evan — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 23:10:49 +0000

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, husband to divorce this week

Evan — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 01:57:13 +0000

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.

Amy Winehouse to quit music

Evan — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:11:30 +0000

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.

Amy Winehouse Back in London

Evan — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 22:21:55 +0000

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 does not want to join the dreaded ’27 Club’

Evan — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 18:23:07 +0000

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.

Amy Winehouse is No Smuggler

Evan — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 00:46:12 +0000

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.
