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 […]

Amy Winehouse Neighbours Seek To Evict Her | Brit Singer Punches Yet Another Fan

Is Amy Winehouse a singer? I have to ask because I very rarely get to actually write anything about her as a singer these days. Instead, the only reason she’s in the news is due to drinking, taking drugs, refusing to go to rehab, and punching fans.
And here’s another one of those stories. This time, […]

Jay-Z Confronts Journalist Who Gave His Historic Glastonbury Show A Bad Review

This time last week, Jay-Z was about to take to the main stage at Glastonbury to finally perform the gig which had caused a mass of hysterical controversy over the past few months.
In the run-up to the gig, I took a long, hard look at the controversy over the booking of Jay-Z as a […]

Lily Allen To Quit Music If 2nd Album Flops

I love Lily Allen with a passion. Yes I know she’s got a potty mouth, as one of my friends keeps reminding me, and yes, I know she’s probably more big headed than is deserved with the limited success she has had outside of her native UK, but I don’t care, there is still something […]
