The Amy Winehouse Foundation Has Got It Wrong
AMY Winehouse’s Camden home is to become the new headquarters for a rehab drive in her name…maybe, says the Sun.
Anorak is hard pressed to think of a worse advert for rehab than Winehouse? Maybe Peter Doherty? Or Lindsay Lohan? Or anyone else who has passed through the revolving doors of any number of reassuringly expensive rehab centres and re-remerged to get of their faces on a new drug or drink.

Kelly Osbourne Calls Christina Aguilera ‘Fat’ While Everyone Bites Knuckles
REMEMBER when Kelly Osbourne was some kind of (self proclaimed) voice for the disaffected kids of the world. Y’know, those kids who were a bit different or those that got bullied for being fat or ugly.
Well, now she’s calling Christina Aguilera ‘fat’.
It seems everyone has got it in for Xtina at the moment (Christ knows why. Surely people aren’t still irked by her fluffing of the American National Anthem at the Super Bowl?) with Joan Rivers noting that Aguilera looked “stuffed into” a little black dress… and now Osbourne is throwing her *ahem* weight around.

Gwyneth Paltrow Reveals The Best Place To Smack Your Head Into A Wall In Paris
GWYNETH Paltrow continues her drive to let you know how great her life is in Elle magazine.
An idea as to what readers are in for comes in a preamble:
“She walks into a room and there’s this ray of light, this energy,” says actor Matthew Morrison of his sometime Glee costar Gwyneth Paltrow. “She brings sunshine everywhere she goes.” This month, that inimitable radiance offered a perfect counterpoint to the season’s most dramatic pieces during our shoot…
Anyone want to risk eating?
Over a lunchtime feast provided by caterer Melrose & Morgan—chicken, fish cakes, rice, beans, guacamole, and salsa… She and fellow foodie Smith bonded over recipe ideas, with Paltrow dispensing an enviable kitchen secret: Turns out, she doesn’t measure her ingredients; she prefers whipping up her concoctions with a pinch of this and a little of that, all by instinct….
Ready? Ok… Here goes!
On getting support from Beyoncé on her surprise duet with Cee Lo Green at the Grammys:
“This story always makes me cry…It’s 10 in the morning and Beyoncé schleps it all the way down to the Staples Center to watch. I mean, She’s Beyoncé !”
On the advice Beyoncé gave her before her performance:
“Beyoncé’s like, ‘Okay. The singing is great. But you’re not having any fun.’ She’s like, ‘Remember when we’re at Jay’s concert and Panjabi MC comes on and you do your crazy Indian dance? Do that. Be you!’”
Be like an Indian might be if they were dancing like your mum at a Jewish wedding.
On creating a solo album:
“Beyoncé and Jay—they think that I should just go do it by myself. That I should go…in a studio and see what happens. And if it’s good, do it. And if it’s not, don’t. So that’s probably what I’ll do.”
Anyone get the impression that she knows Beyonce Z and her husband Jay?
On deciding to launch GOOP:
“When you go to Paris and your concierge sends you to some… restaurant because they get a kickback, it’s like, No. Where should I really be? Where is the great bar with organic wine? Where do I get a bikini wax in Paris? People know that I know that…”
Where do I have a mental breakdown? Where do I get to scream into paper bag? Where do I get to to me meeeeee?
On going public with her personal care regimens:
“It’s so much easier to sit home and not exercise and criticize other people. What I love is inspiring people. People come up to me and say, ‘I want to have two kids and wear a bathing suit and not feel terrible about myself. I see how hard you work and it makes me feel like I can do that too.’”
What people? We want names!
On showing the world a different side of herself:
“If you speak to my friends who’ve known me since I was four, they’ll say, ‘That is her.’ They always said to me, ‘You’re the dirtiest person in the world and so funny. Show the world that side of you.’ I felt guarded. I felt like if I really showed people more of me and I was still not accepted, then…Who cares. You just realize it doesn’t matter what people think of you.”
Her friends who grew up in her gilded lifestyle think she is the dirtiest person they know? They probably thinks she’s the poorest person they know, the one with the worst teeth and the person most likely to toss caution to the wind and tell the nanny to boil and egg without first measuring the water depth in the saucepan.
On choosing not to go to her husband, Coldplay’s Chris Martin for advice on music:
“[He’s] a musical genius. It’s like living with Picasso, and being like, ‘Should I make a little something-something?’”
On keeping her marriage out of the spotlight:
“He makes music for his fans, and he doesn’t want people to conjure a lame famous couple when they’re getting into his music. I get it.”
A lamous couple. Call, me Gwyneth – I have a small brick wall in Paris with your name on it…

Lady GaGa Is Going To Show You EVERYTHING In Her New Book (One Star One Cup)
THERE have been many comparisons between Lady GaGa and Madonna. No bad thing. Rock bands don’t mind being compared to rock’s great and good, so why should it be any different for pop stars?
Well, that’s maybe because pop is supposed to push the envelope hard whereas rock can idly sit around in its pants picking crisps out of its stomach rolls.
Either way, if Madge is losing it, GaGa is taking it. And while her camp pop has stormed pretty much every chart on Earth and her tours have managed to be bigger and weirder than anything Madonna took on the road, soon we’ll all have something else to compare them with.
A book.

Kim Kardashian’s 15 Year Old Sister To Make You Feel Like A Perv In Swimsuit Shoot (Kendall Jenner Photos)
LOOKING at people in states of undress is the most natural thing in the world. However, we feel kinda bad about it, which only adds to the illicit thrill.
However, you have to be careful. Y’see, ‘Ooh! Don’t they grow up fast these days!’ is a statement that can see you on a very undesirable list in the current, terrified climate where we’re convinced of a world filled with rampant trouser botherers and mucky sorts ferreted away in hedgerows.
So then, to Kim Kardashian’s younger sister who, while she may not own the curves of her older siblings, has undertaken a swimsuit photoshoot which is certain to make some of you have very confused feelings indeed.

Linda Evangelista’s Son Needs $46 A Month To Wipe His Nose
LINDA Evangelista says that her baby Augusten’s father, one François-Henri Pinault, the billionaire husband of Salma Hayek, needs to give her child $552,000 a year in support. Linda’s suits say
Francois-Henri created a $12 million estate for his 3-year-old daughter with Salma, but her son hasn’t gotten anything from him.
Linda famously said he did not get out of bed for $10,000. If the boy wants to see his mum standing upright, daddy needs to cough up.
So. She needs the $46k a month to keep the child in this style his father should get him accustomed to. The lad needs full-time nanny, $7,500 a month for holidays and armed chauffeurs.

White Rapper Kreayshawn Aims To Be The Marketable Amy Winehouse
CAN the self-aggrandizing artist known as Kreayshawn – aka Natassia Gail Zolot – become a brand on the strength of one song?
The Oakland-based white (tick) female (tick) rapper (tick) has signed a $1 million recording contract on the strength of one self-released single.
She’s 5-foot, 1-inch. She has brightly coloured tattoos. She wears pumps on her feet. She is petite. She gives good copy. Indeed, dear readers, you are watching the birth of Amy Winehouse 2 – the one you can hang in the showroom and flog to death. Wino never did get her own range of knickers and perfumes.
Kreayshawn is is wearing her sunglasses indoors when Women’s Wear Daily meets her.
A film school dropout who has lived in Oakland, Calif., for half her life, Kreayshawn launched her rap career in earnest on a Monday in May with a music video on YouTube. The song “Gucci Gucci” — an infectious swipe at unoriginal girls in fancy clothes: “Gucci Gucci, Louis Louis, Fendi Fendi, Prada” — caught fire. Filmed on and around Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles, the amateur though impressively polished video presents a fantasy of the artsy West Coast twentysomething life. Boys on skateboards pass blunts around; tattooed girls in improbably glam thrift-store outfits wave their cell phones and boxes of cigarettes around on the street. It was a hit.
Ker-ching!

SADO Charlie Gilmour’s Mummy Sticks Up For Him On Twitter
BERTH blocking SADO (sons and daughters of…) Charlie Gilmour is being locked up for 23 hours a day. Indeed, why not 24? His mum, novelist Polly Samson – married to Pink Floyd guitarist Dave Gilmour – has taken to Twitter (again) to write about her poor boy. Gilmore is not long into a 16 months sentence for violent disorder.
Says she:
“Letter from son still locked in 23 hours a day. Pickpocket has offered tutelage but shortage of pockets on prison uniforms. He seems to be coping remarkably well despite being locked in 23 hours a day.”

Amy Winehouse & Me: Kerry Katona Keeps In Touch With Reality
IN today’s edition of Amy Winehouse & Me, Kerry Katona – resting Queen of own-brand ketchup – breaks her silence:
“I could not stop thinking how lucky I was to find the strength that I found to get myself out of the shit that I was in*. Amy was so young, but I can so relate to what she was doing. It can be so easy to get some drugs in, have a few drinks and lose sight of reality.”

LADY Gaga say that upon hearing the news that Amy Winehouse had died she was struck dumb. Now recovered, Gaga is able to tell US TV of her pain and rare sensitivity:

Frasier To Go Into Politics, Which Sounds Funny, But Is Probably Quite Frightening
FRASIER! You remember that don’t you? Kelsey Grammer played a funny, but clearly useless man and got into all kinds of japes with his daft family. Well Grammer is looking at going into politics – but that doesn’t mean we should all titter and coo because he was funny on television.

Miley Cyrus Has Some Gay On Her Finger And Angers God Botherers
DISNEY stars are always expected to be wholesome and Christian. If you get up to mischief, then you’re a ‘disgraced Disney’ alumni. If you are not a Christian, then you’ll probably be cast as a baddie in one of their awful films or TV shows. They’ve got a formula and boy howdy, are they sticking to it.
And so, Miley Cyrus graduated from Hannah Montana and decided to start acting like a irresponsible young adult, just like all the other brilliantly irresponsible adults around the world.
She was caught on video smoking a bong and she’s from a broken home. It’s fantastic. She’s kinda got away with it so far, but now she’s made God botherers cry angry tears all over their Bibles.

The Heavens Rejoice As Lindsay Lohan And Paris Hilton Seem To Be Friends Again!
THE celebritiest people on Earth – Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton – were once bestest of pals, but alas, they did what all Typical Girls do and fell out over absolutely nothing, before indulging in a bitch-off, which was part funny, part horrible, part incredibly tedious.

Is It Weird That Amy Winehouse’s Clothes Were Being Handed Out To Grievers?
AMY WINEHOUSE’S death wasn’t pleasant at all. It’s always terribly sad when a young person dies, regardless of status or dependency on drugs.
And the general response has been pretty touching and pleasingly without too much hysteria. There was a quiet acknowledgement that, while her passing was sad, it wasn’t exactly surprising.
Fans gathered to have an impromptu wake near her house, disturbing the neighbourhood – which Amy would’ve invariably enjoyed.

Gwyneth Paltrow Destroy’s Apple’s Planet In Steven Speilberg’s Massive Yacht
IN 2004, Gwyneth Paltrow feared for the future of Apple and Apple’s planet:
“I worry about all the mercury that’s being dumped into the lakes and the oceans, and the ozone layer depleting, and forests being chopped down to find more oil. I mean, I really worry about the state of the planet and I wish that the government would make a concerted effort not to trash it. And I just wonder what the Earth will be like when Apple is a grandmother. I really worry about that.”
