Amy Winehouse

[Robman?]

I don't think "Rehab" is that good at all.  "You Know I'm No Good" is much better but I have to agree with Falcon on the novelty act thing.  There's one every year.  It was Gnarles Barkley last year (and yes, I did love the "Crazy" song like everyone else did).

Novelty?  Are you crazy?  She has been a pretty succesful artist for a few years now.  The first album was a hit too, just not on the scale of the recent one.

Nope, not kidding.

I seriously doubt she'll have any kind of staying power here in the US.

I doubt she' (or the label) will worry about the staying power in the US - in an ideal world yes, but in the real world no British artist is expected ot have longevity in the US.  She has shifted a lot of units over there for a UK artist though in comparison to her peers.

yep, even Queen had no sucess in the US after the 'I want to break free' video. The American public didn't get the joke.

Well, according to news reports Amy Winehouse has finally booked herself into rehab. She is staying at a clinic that costs approximately $17,000 a day!

Oh, the beauty...

She's going to a damn spa instead of rehab.

She played at Lollapollooza in Chi-town and everyone who went to see her said she looked like she totally didn't want to perform and could have fallen asleep on the stage. I didn't go so I can't vouch for this.

But, she does need to clean up a bit and not mix so many uppers then downers - holy shit her system! It doesn't know what to do. If you go onto tmz.com today you'll see a picture of her all cut up along with her hubby. Seems she is trying to get clean on her own and was weak and was about to do drugs with a hooker and the hubby walked in and said she wasn't worth his time and she tried to cut him but he saved her from doing drugs! She said she was cutting herself so she wouldn't take a hit off the crack pipe.

I do think she is talented but more addicted than even Anna Nicole Smith. Would be a shame if she can't get some help or kick some habits and the same thing happens.

We'll have to see about the whole US thing though. I know plenty who like her. And I can't liken her to Knarls Barkley cause I wasn't crazy about Crazy - it seemed like a rip off of Seal's Crazy but with a more upbeat feeling.

Winehouse flees hotel, bloodied

LONDON (AP) -- A British newspaper splashed photos of singer Amy Winehouse bloody and bruised across its Friday edition after she allegedly had a fight with her husband.

The photos, supposedly taken early Thursday morning, showed Winehouse wearing blood-soaked ballet shoes, with bruises to her neck, bandages on her arms and makeup smeared down her face.

However, a gossip website reported that Winehouse had said her injuries were self-inflicted.

Police confirmed they had been called to an incident at a London hotel by a concerned member of the public but said no charges were filed.

The singer announced Tuesday that she was postponing her upcoming U.S. and Canadian tour dates after she cancelled August performances due to "severe exhaustion."

Britain's Press Association said the couple were staying in the hotel after leaving a drug rehabilitation clinic in Essex, east of London.

The Daily Mail also published photos of Winehouse together with her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, after the alleged fight. His face and neck were covered in scratches.

U.S. gossip website perezhilton.com said it received text messages from Winehouse explaining the incident and denying Fielder-Civil was responsible for her injuries.

"Blake is the best man in the world. We would never ever harm each other," the Web site quoted Winehouse as saying. "I was cutting myself after he found me in our room about to do drugs . . . and rightly said I wasn't good enough for him. I lost it and he saved my life."

Sweet way to kickoff a tour.  At least when Axl goes on late he plays a full show (mostly) and isn't stumbling drunk.

this is what drugs and alcohol do to artists.

Shes practically been giving an amazing opportunity of being famous, lots of money, travelling around the world, but no, she goes and fucks it all up cause she wants to snort some lines.

At least crue still did good shows even though they were totally fucked.
And aerosmith (minus the different line up years).

Sorry to sound sexist but girls aren't really built for that kind of drug abuse.

[noGnoG]

I'd say men aren't either. It's beyond fun what she's doing. Its sad.

SHOCKER! Winehouse Cancels Tour!

Posted Nov 27th 2007 1:09PM by TMZ Staff

Wreckamess Amy Winehouse has canceled all of her remaining appearances for the rest of the year, The Sun is reporting today.

The singer looked frail and nearly incoherent in a recent performance. Rumors are that she's out of control since her husband was imprisoned on charges of interfering with an investigation.

The Sun quoted her as saying, "I can't give it my all onstage without my Blake. I'm so sorry but I don't want to do the shows half-heartedly. I love singing. My husband is everything to me and without him it's just not the same."

Ticketholders will get refunds.

Amy Winehouse Arrested -- Allegedly "Perverts Justice"

Posted Dec 18th 2007 1:31PM by TMZ Staff

Yes yes yes! Singer Amy Winehouse has been arrested on suspicion of "perverting the course of justice" -- the UK's version of interfering with a police investigation.

TMZ has confirmed that the arrest was made "by appointment" in London today.

Last month, Winehouse's husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, was arrested for the same thing -- related to the case of an alleged assault on a bartender last June.

Winehouse recently canceled her UK tour, supposedly because she was too upset over the arrest of Mr. Winehouse.

Someone, anyone ... please help!

Story developing ...

[Bill 213]

Blah......celebrity drama is so late 2006/early 2007.  Does anyone really give a shit what these twats do anymore?  Musically she's pretty decent, but as much as her personal life is concerned, I could give a flying fuck. 

[mrlee]

her name should be "amy whinehouse"

[Jim]

Well done Russel Brand. From about a year and a half ago.

I jest!, don't be offended.

[Angel Down]

I've heard a really wacky rumour about Amy that I'm posting not for its sensationalist value. It's quite funny if you think about it.

Anyway, here it is. There is something going around that she is Slash's illegitimate love child or something.

There is a facial resemblance! 

[CheapJon]

no there's not,

and she's british and born in 83 and i think slash was 18 and in LA at that period..


pretty small chance
