Amy Winehouse Round-Up: A Little Bit Country
11:00AM Clem Bastow | What with all the overdosing and performance fluffing and potential brain damage and emphysema and ordering 48 bottles of Jack Daniels and taking children to pubs (handy reference guide can be found here) Winegums has been up to lately, you could forgive her for feeling like she needs a little country air to clear her mind – and if you did feel that, you’d be on the money. The Daily Mail reports that residents of Suffolk are bracing themselves for a potential new neighbour:
Sources close to the singer, who currently lives in Camden, say it is the perfect spot for her to recuperate and that she is just days away from exchanging contracts.

Amy Winehouse Round-Up: Sponsored By Jack Daniels
11:19AM Clem Bastow | If you’ll forgive me for that incredibly dull headline, when it comes to this particular piece of Winegums news, I am afraid (and a little ashamed, and slightly nauseated, and then a bit concerned, and possibly even confused) that the Herald Sun have beaten me to the punning punch with this one: “Amy Winehouse goes back to Jack Daniels”. Well, it would’ve been funnier had they just left it at “Back to Jack”, which is why I am dry-retching with shame and sorrow at not having been able to make the pun, BUT ANYWAY:
Amy Winehouse stunned organisers of a music festival she is due to headline, but ordering a whopping 48 bottles of Jack Daniels, according to a report.

Amy Winehouse Round-Up: Did Amy Brain Her Damage?
10:30AM Clem Bastow | It’s probably safe to say that using the phrase “troubling news” in the same breath as the name “Amy Winehouse”, these days, is tantamount to a tautology, but if you’ll forgive me, today there is some genuinely troubling news in the Winegums camp: “friends” (who no doubt took some time out from hanging with “former colleagues” and chatting to “a source” to bring us the news) are concerned that Amy may have sustained brain damage after a series of drug overdoses. And since it seems that these days Amy has, ahem, medical emergencies as often as she pops down to the chippy for dinner, there’s a good chance these “friends” may be onto something.
The singer, 24, suffered two major overdoses, with such bad convulsions that they were “like a scene from The Exorcist”.

Amy Winehouse Round-Up: When All Else Fails, Call Russell Brand
11:00AM Clem Bastow | Well, here I was thinking that Blake Fielder-Civil was more or less the last thing that Winegums needs in her life at the moment, but apparently all that “’til death do us part” stuff is, like, totally for reals, and Winegums has decided that the best way to get her husband back on side (you know, her junkie husband that looks like a living corpse and is in jail for assault and perverting the course of justice; you know, that awesome dude) is to go to rehab. And wouldn’t you know it, skanky UK comedian and Forgetting Sarah Marshall dude Russell Brand hooked a sista up.
Amy, 24, will have treatment at the “small and friendly” Focus 12 Clinic in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, where funnyman Russell Brand beat his own demons.

2:38PM Clem Bastow | Okay so based on the press surrounding Amy Winehouse’s appearance the last few weeks, you could be forgiven for thinking she was close to death and/or preparing, method-style, to play the female lead in a remake of Weekend At Bernie’s (particularly if you, you know, actually looked at her). But now, following the news that she actually didn’t fare too badly at the V Festival this past weekend (”The 24-year-old Grammy winner looked nervous, and her vocals were sometimes only partially audible, but the V crowd applauded loudly at the end of her curtailed set,” apparently), I’ve looked at the shots from the gig and, well, is it wrong to tentatively say she’s actually starting to look a bit better again? Evidence over the jump. More »
Amy Winehouse Round-Up: Bring Your Daughter To The, Er, Happy Hour
9:26AM Clem Bastow | When you think about it, there aren’t that many things that Amy Winehouse would reasonably consider being below her. Walking around London at 4am in a bra? Easy. Doing vodka slammers up the nose? Where do I sign! Marrying Blake Fielder-Civil? So last year. So when I read that Winegums had taken her 12-year-old goddaughter to a club for a rollicking night on the town, I thought, “Yes, and, your point is?” Because of course Winegums would think that was a suitable night out for a child!
The Kent schoolgirl was left to look on helplessly as Auntie Amy scrapped with fans, chucked pint glasses at people and collapsed in a heap on the floor.
