Amy Winehouse Round-Up: Good On You, Mum

Word on the streets is that Winegums has finally given up on the master of the crypt, her husband Blake Fielder-Civil, and has been gallivanting around town with a young buck called Alex. And he’s only the latest in young squires, including Good Blake, Mark Ronson and a variety of other plus-ones.

Winegums herself, however, has been quick to deny that her marriage is over – which is a different song to the one being sung by mum Janis!

Janis Winehouse told The Sunday Mirror: “I’d spoken to Alex a couple of times over the phone, but this was the first time I’d actually met him.

“He’s a lovely boy – gentle and sweet. He really looked after Amy popping out to buy cigarettes, papers, anything she wanted.

“He works for her manager so their relationship was professional to begin with but if they’ve made something of it, I’m thrilled.

“Blake has sent her down the wrong path – drugs and self-harm. She needs a man she can depend on, who can look after her.

“I’m praying Alex is that man.”

While we wholeheartedly support Janis’ motion, doesn’t she know that when it comes to children like Amy, reverse psychology is the best tactic?

She should release a presser stating how much she likes Blake, and how handsome and funny he is, and how she can’t wait to see them both swathed in baby’s breath and white satin at their big, expensive vow renewal ceremony when he gets out of jail, and how they can even come and live with her, FOREVER.

That ought to sort things out.
