      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. She also blasted headliner Jay-Z, saying he’s “got some front to come here with tunes you don’t even remember," mumbled between songs and said her husband would be “out of jail” soon. In other words, pretty much par for the Winehouse course. More »

      Winehouse Leaves Hospital... Smoking

      Amy Winehouse was released from the hospital today, but her emphysema scare doesn’t seem to have left much of an impression on the singer. As she emerged from the facility, Winehouse was seen lighting a cigarette, the Daily Mail reports. Though Winehouse has only early-stage lung disease, odds are that was against doctor's orders. But doctors have cleared the singer to perform for Nelson Mandela this weekend. More »

      Winehouse Too Messed Up for 007 Tune?

      Drug-addled Amy Winehouse won’t be crooning James Bond's next theme song because, her producer says, she is too troubled to make music. Mark Ronson said they started work on the track but he grew tired of her erratic behavior, the Sun reports. A Winehouse spokesman blames a creative spat for the song stoppage. More »

      Just because they have tons of money and access to the hautest of couture doesn't mean they actually have to take advantage of it. Nerve highlights richie-riches who refuse to advertise their wealth with high-class duds. (Or sometimes showers.) Amy Winehouse: Even smokes crack "just to keep it real."

      Though her head-butting skills may be as valuable to 007 as her pipes, Amy Winehouse is auditioning to be the theme-song girl, not Bond girl, of the upcoming pic Quantum of Solace. Producer Mark Ronson said there are no guarantees her track will be used, though he adds, “The demo sounds like a James Bond theme.” More »

      So That's What's Under the Beehive

      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.

      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 »
