Amy Winehouse‘ dad Mitch, an ever present in the media since his daughter started receiving some often unfair criticism and coverage, is to host his own show on BBC Radio London. And guess what - Amy has decided to play agony aunt for the day.
I wasn’t that surprised when I read that Mitch Winehouse had […]

Duffy Complains About Amy Winehouse Comparisons - Diana Ross Is Fine Though

As soon as Welsh pop starlet Duffy hit the scene with Mercy, comparisons were made with Amy Winehouse. Even I was guilty of it, describing her as ‘The New Amy Winehouse? - And Not A Junkie!‘ in the title for my review of the song on Killed By The Video Star.
It was an easy but […]

Vodafone Live Music Award Nominees - The Verve, Muse, Led Zeppelin, Amy Winehouse

The Vodafone Live Music Awards are an annual awards ceremony, sponsored funnily enough by Vodafone.
Unlike other all-encompassing awards ceremonies, these focus on live music. I bet you’d have never guessed if I hadn’t told you so.
The year’s nominations have now been announced and it’s an eclectic bunch of artists to say the least. Leading […]

John Lydon Brands Pete Doherty A Coward, Amy Winehouse As Aimless Winehouse

I love and hate John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten in equal measures. Yes, he’s over the hill and should have stopped ranting on stage as lead singer of the Sex Pistols a long time ago. And yes, he only says things to cause controversy and buy himself and his band some cheap publicity. But he […]

Amy Winehouse Released From Hospital | Treated For ‘A Reaction To Medication’

I reported last night how Amy Winehouse had been rushed to hospital in a blanket after falling ill again. At the time, I guessed it was either going to be due to the crack habit, or something to do with her recently being diagnosed as suffering from emphysema. But apparently, I was wrong.
She has now […]

Amy Winehouse Offered £1 Million For Gig | Father Blames Fielder-Civil For Self-Harm

It must be Sunday today, and the reason I know that is because there’s another round of Amy Winehouse stories in the press. It’s like a weekly habit now for the newspapers to report the latest rumours, talk to her friends and family, and generally report on the state of her health and well-being. What’s […]

Amy Winehouse Waxwork Unveiled In London | Alice Cooper Gives Her Advice

Amy Winehouse is the latest celebrity to be immortalised in wax at Madame Tussauds in London. While she wasn’t present to see herself uncovered in public for the first time, her parents Mitch and Janis were.
They were so taken with the model, they expressed an interest in taking it home to replace the real […]

Amy Winehouse’s Husband Blake Fielder-Civil Sent To Prison For 27 Months

Amy Winehouse is always talking about her husband Blake Fielder-Civil. Whether it’s during a live show and she dedicates a song to him, or whether it’s in an interview, and she tells the reported he’ll be out soon, the two go hand in hand. But they won’t be hand in hand for the next 18 […]

Amy Winehouse To Quit Touring In September? | Mitch Winehouse Speaks Out

Amy Winehouse’ problems have been well reported up to now. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that she is the musical artist who has had most press coverage on her personal problems ever. And the reporting of her personal problems sadly outweigh the amount of copy written about her singing career these […]
