The Dishing Diva

Blake Fielder-Civil’s mum Georgette is said to be worried about her son after the death of his ex-wife Amy Winehouse. The 32-year-old is currently in prison serving a 32-month sentence for burglary and possession of an imitation firearm and it’s claimed his mum is worried he will try and kill himself after hearing of Amy’s death. According to UK newspaper the Daily Star, she said: “Blake will kill himself. He won’t make it without her. “He will be devastated, totally and utterly devastated. He’ll go straight back to self-harming. He’ll have to be put on watch.” The couple married in Miami in 2007 but split two years later.

Talk about a short-term fix… it seems that Amy Winehouse no longer considers that she needs help laying off the booze, but would rather concentrate on doing a couple of shows around Europe. Now isn’t that the perfect activity to keep her away from alcohol? This is what a source had to say about Amy Winhouse leaving rehab after only one week: ”She is now looking forward to playing shows around Europe this summer and is raring to go. She would like to send a huge thanks to all her fans for the messages of support she has received over the last week and can’t wait to see them.” The thanks isn’t going to do her fans much good if Amy Winehouse doesn’t solve her alcohol problems once and for all. That warning from her doctors sure seems to have been to little avail.

For the first time in a long time, Amy Winehouse is getting ready for a tour. It’s a mini tour though with only four days but it’s a tour nonetheless. Sadly, the often troubled singer won’t be coming anywhere our neck of the woods as her website only lists tour dates in Brazil. Wino will be headed to Florianopolis on January 8th, Rio de Janeiro on January 11th, Recife on January 13th and Sao Paulo on January 15th. Here’s to hoping that she kills it over there and watching clips on YouTube will be fun instead of horrific. If she does well, she might just do a bigger tour. I hope so!

Amy Winehouse’s advertiser dismissed the rumors saying that Amy will collaborate with Lady Gaga on her new album. Amy Winehouse is preparing to release a new album, after four years of silence, when she tried to fix her drug and alcohol problems. A famous tabloid recently wrote that Lady Gaga is willing to fly to London to help Amy with her new album. Amy Winehouse’s agent said that these rumors are not true at all. I must say, unfortunately, they are not. A collaboration between the two of them would have been a successful one, I’m sure.

The singer is none too happy with her father, Mitch Winehouse, for talking about her issues in public. This is what Amy Winehouse allegedly wrote on twitter regarding her father’s comments about her life: “Why don’t my dad write a song when something bothers him instead of going on national tv? And you thought your parents were embarrassing.” Well, Amy Winehouse’s father should apparently check his list of priorities. Rather than talking about his daughter on TV, Mitch Winehouse might want to see about teaching her proper grammar. After all, they are British and they do have values to uphold.

The troubled singer’s new boyfriend’s identity has been revealed: he is George III, also named “Monk”, son of the legendary boxer George Foreman. A source said that Amy Winehouse is very taken with this high-blood man: “Amy told us that she’s dating George Foreman’s son, she said he is absolutely gorgeous. Amy also laughed and revealed he’s a very big man. She seemed genuinely excited about him.” Could this really be the stranger she was seen with recently? Or is this just a clever little ruse thought up by Amy Winehouse to protect the identity of the real pretender? Nah, she couldn’t be that elaborately wicked, not after all the pot she’s done.

Amy Winehouse is looking to expand her resume by launching her own perfume. Now that the singer is back in the UK, Wino’s father is trying to license her name to a perfume house to the tune of $750,000. A source said “They want it to reflect her style with a classic smoky 1950s look and smell. Amy is keen to expand her brand and wants to latch on to the celeb perfumes bandwagon while she can.” They got the smoky part right. They better not let her close to the samples. She might create a scent vaguely smelling of cigarettes and alcohol.

Well, actually, her home was cleared of all non-human parasites. Actually, no, make that all very small parasites. It seems Amy Winehouse has begun offering shelter to stray dogs and this has created concerns with her management who recently fumigated her St. Lucia home where she is keeping the strays. A source related: “Management initially turned a blind eye to what Amy was doing. But she’s adopted about five or six dogs now. They’re all strays without the proper vaccinations and they all have fleas. The management did not want the risk of any of the fleas infecting any of the other rooms, so they got a firm of fumigators in to blitz Amy’s quarters and told her not to bring any more animals on site.” I hope they did this while Amy Winehouse was away… we wouldn’t want to eliminate all of the parasites, now would we?

According to the Daily Star (via M&C), Amy was sauntering around the island when she ran into a group of locals smoking banana skins. Ever the open-minded gal that she is, she thought she’d buy what they were selling!

A source said:

“She made sure there wasn’t anything really bad in them because she’s being so good now. They made one in front of her using dried strings from the inside of the peel instead of tobacco and putting it onto a piece of rolling paper. She loved it and has taken to drying her own peel in the sun and smoking it in the evening.”

Back in the 60′s there was a song called “Mellow Yellow” , and the singer was Donovan. The chorus went something like… “and they call it mellow yellow…Quite Right!”. That was Banana leaves supposedly!

She must be a hippie at heart … I Googled this and found the following:

“The high is very very intense, and one can get addicted to it the first time you take a hit…. makes sex the most intense thing ever experienced… orgasms are heightened to the extent that some people are known to have gotten heart attacks…”

Love this picture of her growling and hissing!

Amy and her beehive have left London and gone back to St. Lucia, the sunshine, salty air, and ganja that she loves so well.

Yesterday morning, she left on a jet as she plans on making her next album there as well as purchase a home. Wish I could go there as well. It’s been a long winter.

It’s been long enough that she’s been on vacay, her Back To Black is skipping from me playing it too much.
