Amy Winehouse Was To Adopt 10-Year-Old Dannika Augustine

AMY Winehouse was “secretly” all set to adopt a ten-year-old girl named Dannika Augustine. Well, so says the Mirror.

The Mirror labels Winehouse “TRAGIC” – although it is unclear why.  Anorak still prefers “talented” as an epithet.

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.

Amy Winehouse & Me: Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace V Dignified Kelly Osbourne Smack Down

IN today’s edition of Amy Winehouse & Me, Big Brother product Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace goes head to head with Kelly Osbourne in an I Knew Her Best Celebrity Smack Down. Horgan-Wallace on ITV’s This Morning to confide:

“The papers are saying the last time I was with her we were drinking. In fact the last time I was with her was in her house, in her kitchen, we were drinking tea and having a girlie gossip as I would with any friend. Just talking about guys…

“It’s devastating. I’m heartbroken anyway, losing Amy. I just want her back. But to have this thrown at me, and all the internet hate that I’m getting now.”

Sheesh! Where’s the perspective, people?

Amy Winehouse: A Reader Apology – Exclusive To All Media

OLD MR ANORAK is just returned from the media’s WIMO working breakfast – Winehouse…In My Opinion – and would now like to present a joint statement on the matter of Amy Winehouse.

OVER the past years, readers may have fallen into the trap of perceiving Amy Winehouse as an overrated drug-addled, skank-haired, bone-thin, promiscuous, tattooed junkie whose only chance of achieving credibility in pop music was to drop needed to drop dead and join the “27 Club”.

Amy Winehouse’s Funeral Is Infected By Media Intrusion

AMY Winehouse was buried at Edgwarebury Cemetery today. We have been sent lots of photos of mourners wearing yarmulkes.

Mark Ronson, Nick Grimshaw, Kelly Osborne and lots of other faces were there for prayers. They knew her.

Ronson is forever bound to Winehouse on the excellent Valerie. His silence has been dignified – at odds with the showbiz twats who seek to piggyback on Winehouse’s dead body and emote in Twitter and TMZ about the Wino they never really knew.

So Who Gets Amy Winehouse’s Money Then?

IT’S not all that much of a surprise that Amy Winehouse is gone: a shock that it’s right now, a sadness of course, but not exactly a surprise.

(Image: Mitch and Janis Winehouse view the shrines to thier daughter.)

Which leaves us with the question of who gets her rumoured £10-£20 million fortune? That one that is increasing by the minute as people buy her albums in remembrance? The one that’s going to soar when they release that third one of demos?

Amy Winehouse Shrine Photos: Fans Tributes In Cans, Fags And A Bottle Of Malibu

AMY Winehouse’s body was picked up by the Floyd & Sons Funeral directors and taken from her Camden Square home.

In the London Square are two shrines to Winehouse. One is clean and floral – although whoever thought it was fitting to mark Winehouse’s passing with a teddy might question the relevance (we suggest pulling its head off and looking inside).

Amy Winehouse And Me: A Singer’s Entertaining Death (Photos)

AMY Winehouse is dead. The pop star – the first British singer to win five Grammy awards – was only 27.

The news is full of how she has joined the “27 Club” of musicians who have died: Rolling Stone Brian Jones (drowned in a swimming pool in 1969); Jimi Hendrix (choked to death in 1970 after mixing wine with sleeping pills); singer Janis Joplin (suffered a suspected heroin overdose the same year); Doors star Jim Morrison (heart failure in 1971); Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain (shot himself in 1994); and Orish Grinstead (Kidney failure). Grinstead was a member of ’90s R&B group 702. But you knew that.

Adele Is Amy Winehouse In A Fat Suit: Wino Gives The Fans What They Want In Belgrade (Video)

AMY Winehouse has been giving the fans what they demand in Belgrade. The hacks accuse Wino of disappointing the punters by being drunk and behaving badly on stage. Pah! She gave ’em what they wanted.

Amy, as we know, is sober, a fantastic dancer, an entertainer who gives her all to the show, a raconteur, the epitome of manners who knows the correct way to eat soup in the company of her pals at the golf club, and a rare talent. But Wino is a flaccid, spinning mess of dribble and goo. It’s her act. And she is stuck with it. Such is the clamour for wrongness and sensation that Wino outsells Amy – massively.

Amy Winehouse Goes Back To Rehab – Again

REMEMBER the days when Amy Winehouse was famous for being a reasonably exciting singer? Alas, since then, she’s disappeared down a booze hole, leaving her career wide open for lesser acts to cash-in on. We’re looking at you Paloma Faith. And you Adele.

Yep, Winehouse only ever appears on the radar when she’s fallen over after a skinful or, briefly, re-emerged with some hilarious new breasts that looked like floating liquid in a space shuttle.

And now she’s in the news again and, predictably, it isn’t with talk of a new record, but rather, she’s off to rehab again.

Pete Doherty And The Libertines Serenade Amy Winehouse (In Photos)

AMY Winehouse watched Pete Doherty and the Libertines perform at the Forum in Highgate, London, last night. She stood on the balcony as the band serenaded. It was a good show – Pete looked like a slim Pauline Quirke, Carl Barat played on and Amy pulled faces and beamed with the whitest teeth. Your snapper took photos. It was a fun night.

The Libertines foursome had appeared on stage to the sound of Vera Lynn’s We’ll Meet Again. At the end of the show, Doherty chucked his harmonica into the crowd. If you caught it, you might want to wait until you’re not operating a motor vehicle or machinery before putting it near your mouth…

Amy Winehouse Evokes The Thin White Line In Shaka Zulu: Pictures

AMY Winehouse draped herself about the neck of current prop Reg Traviss in the manner of Great Aunt Josie’s moth-eaten ostrich-feather scarf and hobbled along to the opening to the Shaka Zulu eatery in Camden’s Town’s Stables market. The rest of the ostrich was seared on platters, along with Kudu and Marinated Springbok. Also there was dislikeable pro-celeb hoofer Brendan Cole, a Zoe Hobbs, His Majesty King Goodwill Zwelithini, King of the Zulu nation, his wife and Sophie Anderton, the former coke head and reality TV fodder who once charged £15k for 120 Seconds Of Sex. Winehouse and Anderton versus the Zulu King. It’s the thin white line all over again, allegedly…

Amy Winehouse Is Fit To Bust At Psychosis Premiere: Pictures

AMY Winehouse accompanied her latest squeeze Reg Traviss to the premier of Psychosis, the film he wrote and directed.

The film stars Charisma Carpenter and Jennifer Aniston’s former lover, Paul Sculfor in the story of a serial killer who runs amuck at an environmental-camp.

But the real stars of the show were not Traviss and his uber alles hair, nor Winehouse and her plunging pink dress and breasts that now say “BLAKE in 3DD, but Justin Hawkins, the former lead catsuit for The Darkness, and the two Pygmy hamsters he sports on his top lip.

In showbiz you adapt or you die. The hamspters used to perform with Roland Rat…

Amy Winehouse Falls On Her Breasts And Misses: Pictures

AMY Winehouse is back in hospital having fallen over onto her new breasts. Had only Amy gone for the optional extra: the extended feet procedure this latest horror could have been averted.

The Sun, however, says Amy “landed flat on her face”. Look like we were wrong, those 32D implants are not protruding enough. When your face enters a room before your chest, you know you need to go the extra yard, literally.

Spotted walking hand in hand. Amy emerged from a London clinic where she’s been having her huge Jordans drip fed. As Winehouse wrote on her Facebook page:

A family friend said: “Amy was in agony and became convinced it was something to do with her boobs.”
