So That's What's Under the Beehive

Posted Apr 25, 08 3:50 PM CDT in Arts & Living,  Gossip,  Crime & Courts,  Business 

(Newser) – Amy Winehouse may not always look like $20 million, but that’s how much she’s worth, according to the Times of London. The 24-year-old singer has had a troubled year—today, for example, she was arrested for assault after an alleged rampage Wednesday night—but she’s together enough financially to crack the Times’ Young Music Millionaires list for the first time.

Dhani Harrison, son of late Beatle George, tops that list with $320 million; his nearest competitor in the under-30 set, violinist Vanessa-Mae, has just $64 million. The overall list involves some extra zeros: Billionaire Paul McCartney is third, even after losing his costly divorce, and Andrew Lloyd Webber takes second with $1.5 billion, behind Clive Calder’s $2.6 billion.

    Back on Stage, Wacky Winehouse Lurches Into Fan Whacked out singer Amy Winehouse appeared to lunge for an audience member in the pit yesterday in her first British gig in 7 months, reports the Daily Telegraph.

    Winehouse More Than a 'Genius Junkie' It's tempting to chalk up the popularity of singer Amy Winehouse to her headline-grabbing bent for self-destruction, writes Sasha Frere-Jones in the New Yorker. But that would be a mistake. He takes a closer look at Back to Black, with its "perfect" single "Rehab," and finds much to treasure. What might initially come off as mere imitation of classic soul and R&B is actually a novel evolution, he argues. More »
