More Crack Heads Around Amy Winehouse

No man in Amy Winehouse’s life is clean. It turns out that the supposed clean cut Alex guy who was hired to keep an eye out for Wino is a crack head too. The British media is reporting that Alex was caught smoking crack on tape, much like Wino was a few months ago. When the singer’s management team got wind of it, Alex was fired. An insider revealed “There was no mistaking from looking at the film that he was taking drugs. It was a shock to everyone…The boss went mental and Alex was asked to resign. The last thing Amy needs hanging around her are more users. Alex was supposed to help her and he crossed the line. He had to go.”

Britney Spears and Whitney Houston to do battle

Britney Spears is set to go head-to-head with Whitney Houston in a Christmas battle.

The ‘Toxic’ singer - who is currently trying to get herself back on track following her public breakdown which saw her admitted to a psychiatric hospital earlier this year - has impressed bosses with her new material and now they want her to take on equally-troubled Whitney in an end of the year album war.

A source said: “Britney has been on fire in the studio of late. During recording sessions for her last album ‘Blackout’ she was consumed by her private life. But she is determined to make a triumphant comeback. Her bosses have been amazed by the quality of tracks they’ve heard. Whitney is set for another relaunch at the same time later in the year. They are determined Britney will come out on top.”

Whitney - who has previously battled drink and drug addiction and recently divorced husband Bobby Brown - is set to work with some of the biggest music stars in the world on her new album. She will collaborate with will.i.am, R. Kelly and John Legend and teams up with Akon on her next single.

Britney Spears is Definitely Back to Work

By some sort of miracle, our prayers have finally been heard. Britney Spears may not be as entertaining as she was during her crazy days but at least we now know she’s not going to end up like Anna Nicole Smith. The recovering starlet made her big appearance on the comedy ‘How I Met Your Mother’ on Monday and that wasn’t the only thing that happened on Monday. It seems that she may be getting back into her music as well as Britney was spotted at the Alleycat Recording Studio in Hollywood. It looks like she’s finally getting her career back on track. Maybe it’s time to get ready for a proper comeback.

Enrique Iglesias and his Mole

Enrique Iglesias was spotted as he left the NRJ radio in Paris, France on Friday. The Latin crooner and long-time girlfriend, ex-tennis player Anna Kournikova spent the past weekend in Miami where they had a romantic meal at AltaMar, sharing a golden crap. Sources at the restaurant say that the couple is often seen there on a weekly basis. You know what I miss seeing on a regular basis? Enrique’s facial mole. It’s already been over 5 years since he’s gotten the thing removed. It seems just like yesterday when the news was about seeing Enrique and his mole and not Enrique and Anna.

American Idol Stage Dad

American Idol sources have said that David Archuleta’s father, Jeff, is a stage dad. They say that Jeff actually made David cry when his recording didn’t go so well. If you think it’s mere rumor, here’s something else to swallow. Sources from ‘Star Search’, another show that David was on, Jeff’s behaviour was so bad that he was actually barred from the lot. They also say that her harassed Tiffany Evans, David’s rival on the show, by lurking outside her practices and even coercing her to drink milk before a show to ruin her voice. As far as Idol goes, Jeff’s wrath is still in bloom. Poor David.

P. Diddy to launch celebrity chauffeur service

P. Diddy is planning to launch a chauffeur service for drunken celebrities.

The music mogul wants to stop stars from drink driving after attending celebrity bashes.

A representative for the rapper said: “After partnering with Ciroc vodka, he wants to make sure everyone’s partying responsibly.” When asked what he hoped to achieve by introducing the service, P. Diddy said: “Making sure nobody gets arrested!”

In recent times a slew of stars have been convicted of driving under the influence (DUI), including Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Kiefer Sutherland, Nicole Richie and Michelle Rodriguez.

P. Diddy recently revealed he wanted to take a break from the music industry to focus on making it as an actor. He said: “I really want to do leading man kind of stuff - you know. Like jumping off of buildings and the like.”

Lindsay’s Music

Now that people hardly think of Britney Spears as the Princess of Pop, it looks like Lindsay Lohan is shaping up to take over the tarnished throne. Apparently, Lindsay is going to give her music career another try. She has already been rumored to be working with Beyonce’s hit maker Ne-Yo on her upcoming album. He confirmed as such when he was asked about in on the red carpet at the Grammy’s this Sunday. Was he actually proud of that? This has the potential of ruining Ne-Yo’s career and credibility. 50 Cent is also rumored to be collaborating with the actress and occasional singer.

Fishbone to Pick

Phillip ‘Fish’ Fisher, the former drummer of Fishbone (that’s a lot of ‘f’ sounds) got in the faces of a couple of paparazzi last week. When one photographer spoke to the musician saying that they weren’t doing anything wrong and shooting on public property, Fish shot back saying “That’s right, so be on public property and do what you gotta do.” That had to be the lamest comeback I’ve ever heard. Fish wasn’t even the target of the paps. They were just waiting for Brandy when he happened to walk by. Now that would surely embarrass him if he found out.

Reason for Wino Divorce

It has been reported that Blake Fielder-Civil is wanting to get divorced from Amy Winehouse and it seems that one of the reasons is Amy’s friend. Or should I say ex-boyfriend? The guy’s name is Tyler James and he’s the same guy that went with the ‘Rehab’ singer to her Caribbean vacation a couple of weeks ago. Tyler was spotted with Wino when he accompanied her to a doctor’s appointment on Wednesday and even spent the night at her house.

Blake is said to be livid about it. His mom, Georgette, has spoken out on her feelings towards Amy spending some time with her ex and it’s quite obvious that Amy’s not winning any points.

Fix Yourself Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse was spotted as she was fixing herself up on Thursday. She almost flashed some paparazzi as she adjusted her high heels on her way to visit her husband Blake Fielder-Civil in prison in London, England on Thursday. The troubled singer was also seen applying her make up and holding up a vanity mirror during the car ride. Maybe that’s the reason for her excuse of a made up face.

Blake is currently being held at Pentonville Prison after assaulting a man and allegedly bribing him to change his story. Amy was brought in for questioning regarding the alleged bribery. Classy.

Robbie Williams Skimps

He might be a multi-millionaire but Robbie Williams proves to be a real skinflint this weekend when he gives a stranger a cigarette and then demands he pays for it.

Whilst out doing his Christmas shopping, 33-year-old Robbie was approached by a man asking for a cigarette. The star only reluctantly agreed before handing one over.

But when Rob realised that the guy was a paparazzo photographer he lost the plot. One onlooker said, “Robbie went completely mad and was cursing at the photographer. He yelled at him to come up to the car. That’s when Robbie demanded a quarter. It was most bizarre.”

Paparazzi or not, it was a lot of fuss to make over 12p. Maybe our Rob is starting to believe the rumours that his career is dying…saving his pennies just in case.

Amy Winehouse Dreaming of a White Christmas?

Amy Winehouse certainly is; but I’m not talking snow unfortunately. I mean clinic Amy’s team plan to send her to in Israel? Yes that’s right the rehab that only lasts a week. Well they are going ahead with plans to send the troubled singer; but not before a full blown binge this Christmas.

Since hubby was jailed recently a pal admits that Amy has been taking more drugs than ever, comparing it to having a cup of tea. But after being nominated for six Grammies; our girl wants to shine for the awards ceremony in LA next February and so has vowed to get her life back on track after the New Year.

Well I hope she means it, as rumour is bookies are taking bets as to whether she will actually be alive for the Grammy awards; never mind clean.

Madonna on diet to GAIN weight

We are so used to hearing about, and seeing, how thin and gorgeous all the popstars, glamour models and actresses are these days. Usually there is a story about a miracle diet or extensive surgery behind the stunning figures; and it makes us average women, who were quite happy with ourselves before, feel fat and frumpy.But now Madonna reveals that she has begun to eat porridge in a bid to GAIN weight. Apparently hubby Guy Ritchie was worried that she was looking gaunt and too thin; so Madge took advice from Sting’s wife Trudi Styler, who suggested that the healthy breakfast could improve her skin and take up to 10 years of her appearance.

Hurrah! Finally a story that doesn’t say “eat lettuce and carrots for 6 months to look fab” Curvy, healthy looking figures are much better than stick insects anyway. You go girl!

Britney Spears is a Thief

If her bank account is anything to go by, Britney Spears certainly has the ability to buy whatever she wants. But for some reason, the pop wreck decided to steal a disposable lighter from a gas station this past week.

Britney spent most of her day driving the paparazzi around in circles and when she decided to stop at a gas station for some gum, she went back for a lighter and just snatched it off a display. It would have been fine if she just said that she forgot to pay for it but she actually turned to the paps following her and yelled “I stole something. Oh I’m bad. Ohhh!” Stupid.

Amy Winehouse Powdered Her Nose

Amy Winehouse powdered her nose alright. Too bad it’s not in the sense of touching up her make up. She isn’t even trying to hide it anymore!

The London lady soul singer left her home on Thursday with some white powder residue still on her nose and was chauffeured to her first party stop where she decided that she wanted to change her pants along the way. This left paparazzi gaping at the half-naked, gap-toothed, bee-hived ‘Rehab’ singer.

After an evening on the town, it appears that Wino misplaced her keys and had to get back into her home by sliding under the gate. Sources say that she made it back in. Good for her.

Britney to have body double

Ah she is our troubled Britney but we still love her…don’t we? Well apparently not all of her. Just a few days after I reported Brit’s obsession with plastic surgery in a bid to look like she did in her ‘Oops I Did It Again’ days; it has been revealed that a magazine thinks she is too out of shape to do a nude shoot.

Instead, Blender Magazine plan to hire a body double to replace Britney’s body in the recreation of an iconic Marylin Monroe photograph.

The advert reads: “We are casting for a Britney Spears body double. You must have shoulder to medium length blonde hair. This person must also be in shape! 5′2″ to 5′5″. This will be a take off of a Bert Stern photograph of Marilyn Monroe in bed, from the last shoot before her death. Your face will not be shown in the final photograph/cover.”

And we wonder why women get hooked up on their bodies; and why poor Britney plans to spend thousands of dollars on her own. I throw my hands up in despair…

Amy Winehouse Bra Escapade Was Sleep Induced

If you haven’t see the pics of Amy Winehouse walking around the streets of London in her red bra and without her typical beehive, then count yourself among the blessed. Rumors have flown over the past few days about her actions prior to losing her shirt. Was she drunk? Had she fallen off the deep end?

Neither, according to her lawyer. “She was not on an all night bender.” So, why was she walking half naked at 5:45 on a Sunday morning?

According to her rep, Amy had been sleeping when she heard a noise outside. She’d had some friends over earlier, and she thought maybe they had come back. She went outside to look around, and instead of her friends, her yard was full of photographers. As for the expression on her face, he says, “She’d been sound asleep and then there were all these photographers - of course she looked startled.”

While he is quick to squash the rumors, he understands where they stem from. “In light of recent reports, it is easy to make false assumptions, but she’s getting better and she needs the space to do that.”

Give the poor girl a break. She rose to sudden stardom and then is being knocked off the pedestal by the very people who put her on it in the first place. Her hubby is in jail, she’s going nuts - give her the space to recoup.

Umm, but Amy? Can you keep a shirt on please? I’m trying to keep my dinner down, here.

Jessica Simpson Unavailable

Awe sorry lads; I am afraid that if you have been holding a torch for busty Jessica Simpson and thought you actually had a chance as she has been single of late then you are in for big disappointment. It appears the rumours regarding Jess dating Tony Romo – an American Footballer for the Dallas Cowboys no less – are all true. The pair were spotted and snapped by the press looking very comfortable in each others company.

It was a friend’s birthday party the couple were attending where a source said, “They were talking the entire time and Jessica was very giggly around him. She had a great big grin from ear to ear the entire evening.”

But it gets even sweeter. Turns out Tony has had a crush on our Jess for some time; even admitting on his website that he would love to date her. He is good friends with her Dad; who is a huge fan of the Dallas Cowboys, and when Jessica visited Dallas to record some of her new album, Joe did the gentlemanly thing and asked Daddy for permission to take out his daughter. Daddy gave permission and, of course, the relevant phone numbers. The rest, as they say, is history. Bless.

Britney Spears is Winona Ryder

Britney Spears does a Winona Ryder and shoplifts! Eh, it’s not really that shocking. I think I’d be more shocked if she all of a sudden makes another hit and fixes up her life.

According to Us Weekly, Britney Spears tried on underwear in a porn shop and stole a wig. The pop wreck entered X-rated Hustler Store in West Hollywood before 1AM on Sunday. Britney picked up a lot of naughty underwear and wanted to try them on which is not allowed.

Britney then acted like a child and dropped her own underwear to try on some boy shorts in front of 15 people. When staff told her she had to pay for breaking store policy, she rolled her eyes but did pay for it with a credit card. As payback, she snatched a wig off a mannequin and went on her way.

Foxy Brown is Out

The name Foxy Brown and the term good behavior are two things that you would never put together in a sentence, except maybe for this one. But somehow, someone made a different sentence with it.The rapper whose real name is Inga Marchand got herself thrown into solitary confinement for shoving another inmate and refusing to do a drug test. But she has reportedly changed and became compliant and cooperative recently which got her an out of ‘punitive segregation’ early for good behavior. She was one of four female inmates given early release out of over 20 in the unit.

I guess miracles do happen.

Lily Allen’s Weight Loss

Lily Allen’s weight loss has garnered some talk about eating disorders going around but that’s not the case. Lily reveals to Grazia magazine that the reason for her dramatic weight loss is a result of an intensive fitness regime after being diagnosed with a heart murmur 3 months ago. While the majority of heart murmurs are relatively harmless, they can still be dangerous because it means that there are abnormal passages in or around the heart or there’s a malfunctioning or leaking valve.

Lily said that she now works out 3 times a week and is on a hardcore routine which lasts at least an hour and a half in efforts to stay healthy.

Boy George Hearing

The drag singer of the Culture Club Boy George was seen hastily exiting the Thames Magistrates Court in London on Friday. The former singer turned DJ appeared in court on a charge of false imprisonment on a 28-year old male escort by chaining him to a wall.

George, whose real name is George O’Dowd was ordered to stand trial for the incident which was said to have taken place in his flat on April 28. He allegedly handcuffed the escort to a bed and threatened him with sex toys.

The hearing only lasted enough time for George to confirm his name and date of birth and exited too fast for paps to get anything answered.

Bad News for Wino

Bad news came for Amy Winehouse and her husband Blake Fielder Civil on Friday. Blake’s request for bail was denied.The troubled singer’s equally troubled husband has been in jail for the most of November already and he will now be in the slammer until January 18th at the very least. That’s the schedule of the next hearing in his witness tampering case.

That sucks for him and Amy. Can they not get better lawyers? Even Paris Hilton’s lawyer would do. But then again, interfering with justice isn’t really looked at as a good thing. Blake may just as well make himself comfortable.

Britney’s Love Life

From Justin Timberlake to Kevin Federline to her many to record producers to professional escorts – it seems like Britney Spears is dating men as she goes down the food chain. Literally. It’s being reported that the pop wreck is now hooking up with a guy who serves her food.

Life & Style is reporting that Britney has fallen for a guy named Michael Marchand, a waiter at LA’s Mirabelle restaurant. According to the magazine, Brit fell for Michael earlier in the month when she had dinner at the eatery and that ‘the chemistry was immediate’. Since then, the two have been on at least one date and Brit’s mansion and went out together a couple of nights ago at Mirabelle.

Next thing we know, Britney would be dating a pap.

What Ringo Likes, Ringo Takes

The Rolling Stones once sang that you can’t always get what you want. But when you happen to be Ringo Starr of The Beatles fame, that song apparently doesn’t apply.

Paparazzi caught Ringo as he left the Beverly Hills Chinese eatery Mr. Chow this week with his buddy Joe Walsh of the Eagles. Instead of leaving with a doggie bag full of delicious Chinese food, the Beatle took off with his table’s centerpiece. He apparently liked the floral centerpiece so much that he just had to take it home with him.

I guess he used it for his Thanksgiving centerpiece.

Ne-Yo and Hayden Panettiere Pairing

She once dated ‘Laguna Beach’ hunk Stephen Coletti and has since been linked to ‘Heroes’ co-star Milo Ventimiglia but Hayden Panettiere was spotted getting her party on with a different guy earlier in the week. The popular cheerleader was seen with singer/songwriter Ne-Yo in New York City. The pair was caught as they were leaving Butter together. And you can call it coincidence or whatever you choose, but the two ended up going back to the same hotel.

Their pairing isn’t a random think though as both stars have been working together to promote World Children’s Day in support of the Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Fergie on Rehab

Black Eyed Peas’ front woman turned solo act Fergie is featured on the cover of the new issue of Allure magazine. Apart from her picture obviously going through lots of Photoshop, she made some interesting comments in the accompanying interview.

When asked about celebrities going in and out of rehab, Fergie threw back another question asking “How are you supposed to get better when people are constantly leaking stories about you when you’re in rehab?”

She does have a valid point though. Rehab isn’t just a physical thing, it really relies on a lot of the emotional and mental factors too. So when you’ve got people throwing whatever at you, what can you do?

Boy George Naughty Boy

The stars are forever in trouble. Drugs, traffic issues, paparazzi; there’s always some celebrity being slapped on the wrist for something these days. But today’s celeb isn’t in trouble for a simple traffic violation. Oh, no. Singer and star Boy George appeared in court this Thursday; wait for it; being charge with false imprisonment of a male escort.

Cue to snigger behind your hand. I shouldn’t really make a joke out of it but seriously. Sounds like a weird sex game to me, not a crime. What the man does behind closed doors is his own business. I can’t imagine the guy was exactly forced into the chains can you? But hey, what do we know.

The former Culture Club singer allegedly chained the man to the wall in his bedroom in East London on the 28th of April this year. He did not enter a plea and has been released on conditional bail until his next hearing in February next year. A wise word to the policemen – don’t give the man handcuffs he might think you want to play…

Amy Winehouse is Troubled

Do you know that philosophy that we’re all born good and that out environment is what makes us bad? Well, Sylvia Young, the founder of the Sylvia Young Theatre School in London thinks that’s just the case for our dear troubled Amy Winehouse.

Young wrote a very passionate plea to her former pupil in hopes that the singer can and will get back on track. Young says that she was blow away when she first heard the young Wino sing and even compared her to Judy Garland and Ella Fitzgerald. But young says that “There is a danger that Amy will be better known for her personal life than for her God-given musical gifts.”

Amen sister!
