Amy Winehouse Round-Up: The Hands Of An Angel, The Award In The Dunny
10:44AM Clem Bastow | Ever the polished lady, Winegums was out partying with the Olsen twins this week, even wearing a party frock and high heels (as opposed to her hateful ballet flats, which she has been wearing since approximately 1996), but neglected to extend her newly tizzed up look to her paws.
The singer looked fabulous as she arrived at a restaurant launch wearing an orange and gold metallic shift dress, and an olive green trenchcoat.
But on closer inspection her hands were revealed to be red-raw, and scarred, with her thumb looking particularly scabbed.
Tut tut, someone send the poor lass some Eight Hour Cream.
Meanwhile, friend and collaborateur Mark Ronson – who Winegums sent to the Q Awards to pick up her gong – managed to leave her Best Album statuette in the dunnies. That’s what friends are for!
The gong was left in the toilets at Bar Soho in London’s Old Compton Street, where Mark Ronson, who earlier collected the award in her absence, was seen partying until 2am.
But it is possible Amy’s Valerie duet partner was not entirely to blame – some reported last seeing the award in the hands of comedians Alan Carr and Ricky Gervais.
Well, with Winegums’ mitts in the state they’re in, it’s probably a good thing it was in everyone else’s hands but hers, BOOM BOOM. Good night and thank you. More » 
Amy Winehouse Round-Up: Winning Awards, Stealing Signature Sounds
11:19AM Clem Bastow | Just when Winegums seems set to catch a break, something or someone always pulls the rug out from underneath her.
In this case, the former is her Q Awards win for Album Of The Year (although she couldn’t be stuffed turning up to accept the award), and the latter is soul sister Sharon Jones, who reckons Amy stole her sound. And given that Jones’ band, The Dap Kings, are all over Winegums’ album and live performances, the New Yorker may have a point.
“Even what’s his name [Mark] Ronson.. They came to us to get the sound they wanted behind their music. We were just sitting here minding our own business, doing our little 45s and albums, and all of a sudden they were like, ‘I want your sound.’
First, I feel kind of angry about it,” Jones said, but then added, “Well, if it took Amy to get the Dap-Kings heard, then it’s a good thing. I say it’s great. Thank you.”
“What’s His Name” Ronson is also gagging to get back in the studio with Winegums, so is presumably scouring the underground scene for a new sound to nick for his muse.
We’d like to suggest Sun O))). More » 
Big Bad Ian Brown Spoils Kylie’s Q Party
10:39AM Clem Bastow | Perhaps cross that he was considered a “legend” and not an “idol” in the estimations of Q Magazine, Stone Rose Ian Brown has had a big old whinge at the Q Awards ceremony, specifically about Our Kylie (who was there to pick up her Q Idol statuette).
Turns out sooky Ian – who, we might add, hasn’t recorded much of note lately – reckons Kylie’s music isn’t much chop.
He told the BBC Radio Five Live: “I don’t know what Kylie’s doing at a music awards to be honest. “I don’t think she’s cute. I don’t think she’s good-looking. Her music’s rubbish – she makes music for little kids.
“I’m sorry if it sounds like I’m putting her down, but there’s a lot of great minds out there making music and she’s not one of them.”
After saying “I’m sorry if it sounds like I’m putting her down” and then laying into Kyles, it is thought Brown followed up by saying “I’m not racist, but there are too many immigrants in my part of town” and “You’re really fat; no offense, but it’s true”. More »
