Bizarre Spring Cleaning With Amy Winehouse


It seems even something as normal as spring cleaning can turn into a fiasco when Amy Winehouse gets involved!

The “Rehab” singer was spotted answering her door in her bra (once again) and seemed happy to sign a few autographs for her fans.

Later she was all about tidying up her home, sporting a tank top and a pair of pink gloves as she hauled a number of trash bags from her door to the street. In the midst of the shuffle, she also asked the paparazzi for some cash to pay her driver.

And it sounds like reports that Winehouse was planning on traveling to Israel for drug treatment may not be true after all. The Jewish Chronicle and The Sun reported that Amy was planning on attending the Barzilai Medical Center to undergo a $13,000 operation to prevent her from craving drugs.

But her spokesperson denied the claims, telling press, “These are just old rumours. She’s going back in the studio and has absolutely no plans to go abroad for treatment.”

Amy Winehouse Takes a Jog


It’s a well-known fact that too much time in the recording studio can lead to all kinds of restlessness. And Amy Winehouse looks to have figured out a solution.

Earlier today, the “Rehab” singer was spotted running through the park behind the Henley, London recording studio she’s been working at as of late.

And the weather was so inviting that a few friends even opted to join her. And in true Winehouse fashion, she decided that a bra and shorts were sufficient covering.

However, her scantily clad body revealed her chest bones and ribs, prompting fears that she’s getting dangerously thin.

Cops to grill Amy Winehouse over hubby's case

It seems like Amy Winehouse’s trying times have not yet ended, for she will be questioned by police over an alleged trial-rigging plot.


The 24-year-old’s husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, 25, along with another man, Michael Brown are behind the bars charged with inflicting serious bodily harm on a pub landlord, James King, in Hoxton, east London, in June last year.

And now, Winehouse has been suspected of clearing off her hubby’s charges.

As part of the investigation, the pop singer must give fingerprints and DNA samples and will be questioned under caution.

She could face life in jail if cops link her to the suspected conspiracy.

A Scotland Yard source said that it is a very significant development.

"This is a very significant development,” News Of the World quoted the source, as saying.

Terrified Amy has vowed to commit suicide if she is sentenced to a long term in prison.

As the troubled star faces the prospect of a tough police grilling over the alleged 200,000 pounds plot to fix husband Blake Fielder-Civil's assault trial, a close friend revealed: "Amy's had her problems but she's really terrified this time. She's teetering on the brink.”

"She's already hatched a suicide pact with Blake. If they're both handed lengthy jail sentences she's determined they'll end it together rather than face years apart. She can't live without Blake. Her family are worried sick,” the pal added.

Hollywood Halloween How-To

By Ben Silverman


'Tis the season to be scary, but Halloween isn't just a happy-go-lucky fright fest. Choosing the right outfit can be a stressful affair. Do you go big with full-face makeup, unwieldy props and a terribly itchy wig? Or perhaps you prefer to play it safe with plastic vampire teeth and a lame skeleton shirt? Sadly, there are no right answers to such costuming conundrums.But here's a thought: Why waste another Halloween as a boring, anonymous werewolf when you can show off your creative side by impersonating your favorite celeb? After all, the stars come out at night. In honor of the horrific holiday, here are 13 unlucky suggestions to help you dress for success.

Britney Spears
Oops! The deposed queen of pop did it again -- and again -- in 2007, turning what could have been a comeback year into a series of unfortunate events. But provided you don't fear the clippers, the ex-Mrs. Federline makes the perfect pop-culture costume. Shave the locks, squeeze into an ill-fitting black sparkly bikini, strap on a headset and half-heartedly dance your way through the night. For added oomph, consider holding an empty bottle of bourbon in one hand and a baby doll in the other. Remember: She's not that innocent.


Brangelina
Don't take us too literally here; chances are you possess neither Brad's stunning eyes nor Angelina's amazing lips to truly pull this one off, and if you do, you probably could care less about making a Halloween statement because everyone's already fawning over you. But the other 99 percent of us can still enjoy an evening of shrieks and giggles by pulling a trick out of the old 1980s gimmick box: One side of your face is Brad Pitt; the other side, Angelina Jolie. If that's too vague, hammer the point home by toting around a bunch of dolls swaddled in the flags of various Third World countries.
Kid Rock and Tommy Lee
The two former Mr. Pam Andersons might not see eye to eye, but they definitely make a perfect pair for the Halloween happenings at your local frat house. Kid's signature style -- scummy tank-top undershirt, a pair of baggy pants and a pimpin' fedora -- shouldn't set you back more than a few bucks. The same goes for the Tommy Lee look, which simply requires a sleeve of fake tattoos, a pair of drumsticks and a sock stuffed down your pants. Just choreograph a few fistfights and pray that party security doesn't haul you both off to the clink.
Did he get whacked, or did he just get an order of onion rings? The debate over the fate of everyone's favorite bulky boss quietly rages on. Take this Halloween as your opportunity to make a statement. A statement that the not-so-dapper don pulled a "cleaver" and got killed. Your zombie Tony costume would include a custom-made "Bada bing, bada BANG!" T-shirt along with plenty of fake blood and decomposing flesh. And feel free to set the record straight by stringing a sign around your neck proclaiming that you've "stopped believing."
Miss Teen USA contestant Lauren Caitlin Upton
The South Carolinian became an overnight Internet sensation with her mystifying answer as to why many Americans can't find the United States on a world map, so suck in that gut and squeeze back into your prom dress for this surefire crowd-pleaser. Top it off with a cheesy tiara, a bouquet of long-stemmed roses and a bag filled with tiny globes to hand out to passersby. Halloween is all about pageantry, after all.
The stars of the biggest boxing match of 2007 have gone on to bigger and better things, at least in terms of sheer entertainment value. Mayweather is currently prepping for an upcoming title defense by practicing his footwork on "Dancing With the Stars," while the Golden Boy is making the inbox attachment rounds for his spectacular turn as a cross-dressing Golden Girl. A sporty couple could bring the two back into the ring with some clever costuming: Boxing gloves, a tuxedo, some fishnets and a few bruised eyes should do the trick.
Might as well jump on the comeback bandwagon and dress up as the newly reminted Van Halen. Actually, a family of four could pull this riff off flawlessly. Dad and older brother can go as guitarist Eddie and drummer Alex, any teen can pick up the slack as Eddie's son, Wolfgang, and mom just needs to grow a little hair on her chest to play a convincing Diamond Dave. Got a little sister? Give her a curly wig, a virgin margarita and a bad fake tan and presto: Sammy Hagar!
Let the wee ones bother with capes and masks; those wishing to pursue a superhuman Halloween need look no further than the sexy homecoming queen of "Heroes" for inspiration. Cheerleader outfits are a dime a dozen, but you'll need a few extra items to show off Claire Bear's regenerative abilities. Try a fake knife (the plastic kind with the blade that pops back into the handle) and a tube of red disappearing ink for an instant party power play.
Emmy-winning actress America Ferrera is hardly ugly, but that shouldn't stop you from gawking your way through Halloween in homage of her awkward, lovable character. Unless you have seriously solid dental insurance, you should score some fake braces at a seasonal specialty store. Next stop: grandma's attic for some outdated duds. Finish the piece off with a cheap pair of Betty's signature red plastic glasses (try Goodwill) and your embarrassing evening is ready to go.
Homer Simpson It's not exactly an innovative choice because the bumbling Simpson patriarch has been a television staple for the past two decades, but with a hit feature film tucked under his poor, sagging belt, Homer is ripe for reinvention. You can't swing a radioactive cat in a Halloween store without hitting a Homer mask, though you can always go au naturale by painting your face a bright, pukey yellow. Finish it off with a crisp white shirt, straight blue pants, a stuffed pig and a box of fresh pumpkin donuts. Mmmmm … scary donut …
Hannah Montana and Billy Ray Cyrus Leave it to Disney to revitalize the career of Billy Ray Cyrus by featuring both the country crooner and his arguably more talented daughter Miley Cyrus in this wildly popular children's show. Though we're sad to see Billy Ray's epic mullet disappear in favor of a hipper, Bon Jovi-esque 'do, feel free to bring it back for this father/daughter ensemble. And chances are your little girl is dying to dress like Hannah -- just manage those expectations (cubic zirconium is just as shiny as diamonds, honey) and you'll be the talk of the middle school Halloween soiree.

Larry Craig

The senator from Idaho quickly became America's dirtiest politician when he made an unseemly pit stop in an airport bathroom stall, a decision that could prove costly to the GOP but offers a timely costume opportunity for shy Halloween wallflowers. Just encase yourself in a few sturdy sheets of cardboard, scrawl the words "Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport -- Tricks and treats welcome!" on the outside, and glue a fake hand to the bottom, palm facing upward, of course. And if anyone asks, it wasn't you in the stall.


Amy Winehouse

It's been quite a year for the troubled British chanteuse. Powered by two catchy singles, her album "Back to Black" seared up the charts and shot the soulful singer into the blinding light of tabloid scrutiny -- not exactly where you want to be if you've got issues with booze and heroin. Luckily for the rest of us, her distinctive beehive and penchant for problems makes fine fodder for an ironic Halloween outfit. Pile up your hair, slap on enough eye makeup to make Tammy Faye blush and pass out 12-Step pamphlets to anyone sloshing a drink. Someone's gotta go to rehab …

Amy Winehouse leaving her birthday party

Amy Winehouse received a vintage jukebox as birthday gift from husband Blake Fielder-Civil.


Blake, who claims to be a researcher on music videos, left no stone unturned to find his distressed missus the perfect gift, and hence hunted down an original Fifties jukebox complete with vintage vinyl singles.


“Blake really wanted to get something from the Fifties for Amy’s birthday,” the Sun quoted a source, as telling.

“He has had it lined up for ages and managed to get it delivered in time for the big day. He is obsessed with the Forties and Fifties — and so is Amy,” the source added.
The couple’s fascination with the post-war period goes back for as long as they have known each other.

Amy Winehouse has reportedly gained 14lbs on a fast food diet

The super-slim singer has been gorging herself on calorific treats, including devouring seven McDonalds meals in the space of just six days, in a bid to pile on the pounds.


Amy has also been eating Caribbean food, including yams, dumplings, bananas and delicious jerk chicken, as part of her quest to gain weight.

A fellow diner at London’s Mr Jerk restaurant, where Amy has dined three times in the last week, revealed to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “Amy came in and was in really good spirits and ordered an extra large portion of brown stew chicken which she polished off in minutes.
“She was looking really healthy and it’s clear she’s putting on weight again.”

Amy’s weight is believed to have plummeted to a tiny 91lbs following a turbulent few weeks which saw her overdose on a cocktail of drugs and check in and out of rehab.

A source said: “Amy is not stupid and knows she needs to put on weight.

“So she’s been doing it the way she likes it with her favorite foods.”

Amy – who turns 24 today (9/14/2007) - was seen at last week’s Nationwide Mercury Prize looking healthier following a Caribbean break with husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

Amy Winehouse a sex addict with a fetish for spanking?

Amy Winehouse is a sex addict with a fetish for spanking, an ex-lover has claimed.


Johnny Headlock, who is the minder of rocker Pete Doherty, claims he enjoyed a "wild" romp with the troubled singer - who was recently hospitalized after overdosing on a cocktail of drugs - last year while she was dating ex-lover Alex Claire.

The 27-year-old tough guy, real name Jonathan Jeannevol, met Amy, 23, through their mutual music contacts, and claims he bedded her after she returned to London following a promotional trip to New York.

He told Britain's News of the World newspaper: "She was wild. She went for hours and couldn't get enough. We must have gone through about five or six positions, but she liked being on top the best.

"She made a lot of noise and loved being spanked on the a**e. It was really rock 'n' roll."
Johnny claims he offered Amy - now married to 25-year-old Blake Fielder-Civil - cocaine before they had sex, but she didn't take the drug.

The minder continued to see the 'Rehab' singer for a short while after their night of passion, but it fizzled out after he discovered Amy was in a relationship with Alex.

However, the troubled star - who is believed to be in rehab at the moment - allegedly kept an unusual memento from her first night with Johnny.

He revealed: "That first night I was wearing Spider-Man underpants and she thought they were wicked. In fact, Amy took them and kept them as a souvenir."

Johnny believes Amy - who last week cancelled her entire European tour due to "exhaustion" - is being heavily-influenced in her drinking and drug-taking by husband Blake.

He said: "You can see Amy's besotted with him, she needs someone to treat her mean.
"It's sad what's happened to her, but drugs are everywhere she goes. I can see why she's got problems."

Kate Moss penning tribute song for Amy Winehouse

The supermodel, who has also made several trips to rehab for cocaine and heroin addiction, is reportedly planning to pen a tribute song for the ‘Back to Black’ singer.

The supermodel, who has also made several trips to rehab for cocaine and heroin addiction, is reportedly planning to pen a tribute song for the ‘Back to Black’ singer.

A friend of Moss has revealed that the British beauty listens to Amy repeatedly on her iPod, and thus has decided to acknowledge the singer’s talent.

"She knows her voice is nowhere near Amy's - but thinks she could do a song that would be like a tribute to Amy, inspired by her," the Daily Mail quoted the friend as saying.

Meanwhile, Winehouse is back into rehab after pulling out from performing at V Festival, and canceling all scheduled performances for the rest of August.

The singer, who has been in and out of treatment since she collapsed last week, has returned to the Causeway clinic in Essex, having spent 24 hours away.
