Amy Winehouse's Dad: She and Her New Boobs Are 'Fantastic'
Originally posted 10/21/2009 01:50PM
Amy Winehouse is a completely different person from who she was this time last year, her father says. The singer, 26, is doing well both inside and out – and that includes her recent breast enhancement.
On Wednesday, Mitch Winehouse told British TV show This Morning that his daughter is, "Fantastic, fantastic. Her boobs are great as well." He then smiled and said, "I shouldn't have said that should I? She looks absolutely fantastic."
Asked if the operation really cost $56,000 per reports, he shrugged, "I don't know. I didn't have to pay for it – that's all I know. Whenever I see her, she says, 'Dad can you give me a couple of hundred.' [But] I didn't have to pay for the boobs. I don't know."

Amy Winehouse Testifies She Was Scared of Fan
Originally posted 07/23/2009 10:10AM
Amy Winehouse was "scared" as she was asked to pose for a photograph backstage at a charity event last September, she told a court in her assault trial Thursday.
The singer – who asked to be addressed by her married name Amy Civil – was happy to pose with dancer Sherene Flash, but said that when she asked for a minute to see a friend off, Flash refused. "She lent down all over me. She had her face down by me," Winehouse told City of Westminster magistrate's court, London.
Describing herself as an undemanding, low-maintenance celebrity, Winehouse said on the stand, "I'm not a Jennifer Lopez, paint the room white before I get there, and I want five bunches of lilies."

The 2-year marriage of Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil came to a formal end in a functional first floor courtroom in London Thursday.
As one of 25 couples seeking to dissolve their marriages, Fielder-Civil, 27, was granted the divorce from Winehouse, 25, in a hearing that lasted all of 75 seconds, as the singer admitted adultery, court papers show.
Neither she nor Fielder-Civil were at Court Three of the High Court Family Division in London's Holborn area to hear District Judge Michael Segal grant the "quickie" divorce.

Amy Winehouse Refreshed by Island Life
Originally posted 07/14/2009 08:40AM
Amy Winehouse is back! She arrived in the U.K. from St. Lucia Monday, looking initially tearful to be home, but healthier than she has for ages.
Winehouse, 25, who has been in the Caribbean island for much of the year is planning on catching up with friends and working on her new music. But most noticeable is her improved complexion and fuller figure.
"She is good. She has been looking after herself," says a friend. "She did a lot of exercise and she has been eating better. Look at her – she is not what she was."

Amy Winehouse Cancels Out of London Gig
Originally posted 05/22/2009 03:00PM
A scant two weeks two weeks after her last concert in the Caribbean ended in controversy, Amy Winehouse has again prompted questions about the state of her health – by pulling out of a homecoming gig in London.
Winehouse, 25, was set to perform at the celebration of a 50th birthday of her record label Island on Sunday, May 31. But Island issued a statement Friday saying that she will not now be taking to the stage.
The reversal comes after a performance in her adopted home of St. Lucia ended prematurely, which her reps blamed on lighting failures and other technical mishaps in the stormy Caribbean weather. But there were also reports of forgotten lyrics and reputed booing by the audience.

Amy Winehouse Documentary in the Works
Originally posted 05/19/2009 04:25PM
With Amy Winehouse, it's not just complicated. It's extremely complicated.
Soon the world will find out just how much so as the troubled 25-year-old singer and her family open themselves up to Israeli-American interviewer Daphne Barak for a documentary shot at Winehouse's retreat on the island of St. Lucia, according to a post on her MySpace blog.
Barak recently spent time with Winehouse and her father Mitch for what the singer's blog calls "a truthful and revealing look at her complicated life." Footage and photos posted on Barak's own Web site show Winehouse in the studio and hosting a birthday party, as well as a brief interview with Mitch, who explains how the Caribbean island has been a welcome getaway for his daughter during her public struggles with sobriety and fame.
The documentary is expected to be released later this year.

Amy Winehouse Expected to Perform Friday
Originally posted 05/08/2009 02:15PM
Following a year that has seen her arrested, face a possible divorce and start life anew in the suburbs, Amy Winehouse is headed back to where she belongs – the stage.
The singer, 25, is due to perform Friday at the St. Lucia Jazz Festival, her first gig in about eight months, and she says that singing there is an "honor," especially as she is to appear on the same bill as Chaka Khan and Patti LaBelle.

Simon Cowell Lives Large as Musicians Lose Millions in Downturn
Originally posted 04/24/2009 08:30AM
Ubiquitous talent spotter Simon Cowell has seen his fortune rise as traditional rock stars lose out in the recession.
Cowell, who judges American Idol and the U.K's X Factor and Britain's Got Talent, is seven percent richer than last year, with a net worth of at $175.2 million, according to Ian Coxon, editor of The Sunday Times Rich List.
And he's nearly alone on this one. His rise comes as others fare poorly in the struggling economy.
Ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, 66, holds onto his third-place position in the list of British music millionaires, but his wealth has fallen from $730 million to $642.4 million – a drop of 12 percent. The decrease is attributed to "falling property and share values [that] have wiped $87.6 million off Sir Paul McCartney's fortune," The Sunday Times says.

This time Amy Winehouse intends to work as well as play in the sunshine of St. Lucia.
The singer, 25, is back in a bikini on the Caribbean island where she has spent most of this year on an extended vacation. She has been photographed, sans trademark beehive, riding horseback and chatting to local children as she settles back into island life.
But this visit she is planning to get back to her singing, her rep says. "She is having her usual break," rep Chris Goodman tells PEOPLE. But "she will start working with Salaam Remi soon."
