Amy Winehouse Round-Up: Hamsters, Ask Amy How

While the UK press have been detailing Winegums’ apparent teetering on the bring of actually going back to rehab (yes, yes, yes!) with news that husband Blake will probably stay in jail over Christmas, we instead thought it was time to lighten the Winegums mood a little.

Of course, this being Winegums Watch, lightening the mood involves a story featuring a large amount of booze and the eventual death of a small animal.

Hey, what did you expect? Bambi part two?

AMY Winehouse has been accused of killing her friend’s hamster.

The troubled singer – who has a well-documented problem with drink and drugs – had been partying at pal Peter Pepper’s girlfriend’s house when poor rodent Georgie Porgie lost its life and Peter is convinced Amy was responsible.

Peter, Amy’s former session musician, said: “Georgie was a birthday present and we’d got him out to play with in the morning. I’d been to bed, but Amy had stayed up and there was still going strong and had drunk the drinks cabinet dry.

“The next thing I know, it bites me, runs off and Amy says she’ll catch it.

I was a bit suspicious when she said she was good with hamsters.

“But I went to put a plaster on my finger and by the time I came back Amy said she’d put it to bed and it was sleeping. But just hours later Georgie was stone cold and hard. I don’t know what she did to it – it was probably crack!”

Um… You know, we’re always going on about how Blake is not healthy for children and other living things, but we should probably extend that to include Winegums, much as it pains us.

After all, she is taking moral support from Pete “I Gave My Kitten A Crack Pipe” Doherty!
