Amy Winehouse Round-Up: Pity Party At Pa Winehouse's Joint
Posted by Clem Bastow at 4:18 PM on March 13, 2008
We've always gone in to bat when it comes to Dad Winehouse, aka Mitch, as he clearly has Amy's best interests at heart (he certainly doesn't seem to hail from the Culkin/Barrymore/Lohan school of parenting).
Well, he's now come out and opined that perhaps some of Amy's pain comes from the protracted affair he conducted when Winegums was younger (with a woman he would later leave Ma Winehouse, Janis, for and marry).
Mr Winehouse said he thought at the time that Amy had forgiven his deception and coped with her parents splitting up.So, hang on, in talking about how he thinks he's partly to blame for Amy's troubles, he says that she coped well with the breakup? Hmm.He told a BBC programme: "I should have left earlier, I should have left sooner. There was not really a negative response from Amy (when I left), but she definitely became a lot more independent.
"Perhaps deep down she felt her parents were splitting up, she could not rely on them to stay together and that it was about time she learned to look after herself.
"I thought Amy was over it pretty quickly - in fact it felt at the time Amy felt no effect at all.
"Maybe she could not articulate it in words, but she certainly did it with music."
In any case, we're pleased to see that Mitch and Janis are taking a more active role in Amy's life after their misguided "we'll just wait for her to come home" routine of a few months ago. Perhaps Mitch can have a few words with Jamie Spears about this sort of stuff.

For those of us out there who are active moviegoers, the weekend of March 14 has been circled on our calendars for some time. While 2008 has seen a handful of worthwhile releases hit the cineplex (think Be Kind Rewind, think Charlie Bartlett), the indie-inclined viewer has had painfully few movie choices from which to choose from so far this year. However, all that changes this weekend when Neil Marshall's Doomsday, David Gordon Green's Snow Angels and Michael Haneke's Funny Games make their way to a theatre near you. While all three will must sees (at least in my book), one of these flicks is drawing significant levels of pre-release controversy (if not great reviews). Specifically, Haneke's Americanised remake of his own 1997 pic Funny Games is being labelled by
