Rumors are going around that Amy Winehouse is about to leave her current label after her next album so she can get her own label up and running. Wino was supposedly influenced to go into the label thing by Alex Haynes, the guy who she was rumored to have an affair with and is also her manager’s assistant. A source told UK’s Sun “For the first time in her career, Amy is beginning to have her head turned by the cash she can make.” The source also says that Wino wants to sign her friends Remi Nicole and Tyler James and have control over her own finances. If this is true, it will likely end in disaster. Amy can barely take care of herself. How will she take care of a business?

Much like Britney Spears, Amy Winehouse is the talk of the town. But unlike Britney, people have more positive things to say about the British singer these days – save for Natalie Cole. Sheryl Crow is the most recent celebrity to comment on Wino and here’s what she had to say: “I want to collaborate with Amy [Winehouse] because she’s really hot and cool right now. I know one song ‘Rehab’ was very popular particularly because a lot of young people are in rehab as well. In fact I’m thinking about going. It looks like loads of fun and I know my career will benefit from it.” Weird, but eh.

Mary J. Blige is on the new issue of Interview magazine and in her, pardon the pun, interview, she talks about none other than fellow singer Amy Winehouse. She says that “Someone like Amy Winehouse is so important to the music business right now. It’s very painful (to see her battle drugs). I hope she makes it. I think it (the music industry) kind of got lost and we ended up in a drought for a while, but I see it making a turn, so instead of music being just synthetic, we’ll see it going back to actual instruments. That’s what I’m hoping for anyway.” We’re all hoping for it.

The guy that Amy Winehouse has been spending a lot of her time with, her ex-boyfriend, the guy that’s got Blake Fielder-Civil livid, happens to be a musician as well. And he’s quite good. He can pretty much pass as the British Robin Thicke.

His name is Tyler James and you just have to love his blue-eyed soul. He’s got great songs in ‘Your Woman’, his duet with Wino ‘Best for Me’ and ‘Why Do I?’. It’s such a bummer that we can’t buy his music on iTunes over on this side of the pond. And yeah, we really get why Blake is livid right now. While he’s in jail, his wife is singing duets with her ex.

After the success of her album, a lot of people have predicted that Amy Winehouse would be the queen of the Grammy’s. And when the nominations were announced on Thursday morning, that’s what the rest of the world thought too. Wino scored the most nominations for a female with 6 nods. It’s good to know that despite all the trouble in her life, something good can still happen to Wino.Kanye West actually came out with the most nods, with 8. Five acts received 5 nods each – the Foo Fighters, Jay-Z, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and T-Pain. In a bit of an upset, favorites like Fergie and Mika only scored a nomination each.

Can you say pathetic? I can understand love struck but this is just dumb. Amy Winehouse has cancelled her UK tour and all promotional appearances through 2008 because she’s too upset about her husband Blake Fielder-Civil being in jail. Professionalism is definitely not in her vocabulary.Wino released a statement on Tuesday saying “I can’t give it my all onstage without my Blake. I’m so sorry but I don’t want to do the shows half-heartedly; I love singing. My husband is everything to me and without him it’s just not the same.”

The few shows she has done have been slammed by critics and fans. It at least saves everyone else and they get refunds too.

Amy Winehouse gave one of her usual bombed-out performances at the MTV Europe Music Awards. She was even booed off the stage when she could barely say the word “Thanks” after receiving her Artists’ Choice award. However, the new drug-free Pete Doherty says that Amy is on “the straight and narrow,” Holy crap…I was going on and on about how freaking ugly she is (all the time when I see her pics on the internet and music news sites)…then I got a look at her husbands teeth! Sweet mother of Jesus! Can you imagine kissing that thing! It looks like he’s never brushed a day in his life. Bet it smell reals nice, jack! He wouldn’t be a bad looking guy though if he wasn’t so messed up on drugs and hadn’t messed up his body. Yipes; these 2 are obviously not good for each other. I bet there’s some serious mental & emotional abuse going on, in addition to the drug abuse. Hope she gets out of that situation alive.

Apparently Lily Allen has lost quite a lot of weight after undergoing several sessions of hypnosis with Susan Hepburn, who ‘reprogrammed her brain’ to like organic food and trips to the gym. All I can say is that she looks great and maybe celebs like Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse could also do well with some help from Hepburn. But will anyone explain to me that why the hell are we so obsessed with our celebrities being size zero or looking skinny and then only we will like them and follow their acts. Why is that we do not judge them on the basis of their work and performance and just because they look cool, dress up smartly and drive big cars. She is a singer and not a model who will not get a contract from the agents coz she is plum and over sized. Yes it is nice that we have a slim body that the frame our hip bust and other vital stats are good and make us look attractive. But I have my reservations against people who would discriminate against people who are not – ‘perfect’ in size and shape.

Really like her - because she does her own thing AND has a beautiful voice - and hope so much she gets herself together (right expression?) - cause it would be a shame she throws her life away. The night that she overdosed, Amy said she smoked heroin, snorted cocaine, took ecstasy pills, took Ketamine pills, and drank tons of vodka and whiskey. Puke! Just saying vodka and whiskey aloud makes me gets that tingling feeling in my lip like I might vomit. How does this chick do it? How disgusting. Let’s hope she gets some help. I really am puzzled at one thing, they booze so much, they ecstasy pills and heroin and if there’s something else then I do not know the word for the obscure thing but how do they manage to keep their voices intact and still manage to sing that well, by now they should have lost their voices completely. That’s a miracle to me.

The British pop star Amy Winehouse was rushed to hospital today. This has started speculation about her health. She was taken to a hospital in London and was reported to be suffering from “severe exhaustion”. This isn’t her first run in with exhaustion issues. Just last month she had to cancel a series of concerts after she was ordered by doctors to get some rest. Other information on Winehouse leads me to believe that this is more than a case of exhaustion. It sounds more like it may be a chronic hangover. Winehouse recently spoke about her partying lifestyle and needing to calm it down. She was also witnessed at a concert in July, hitting herself in the head repeatedly with a microphone. That is incredibly messed up. If that’s not a clue you need to fix your lifestyle then what is? She has already been released from hospital and sent home with orders to rest.

4500 fans ended up being disappointed when they found out that Amy Winehouse canceled her July 4 show in Liverpool. It doesn’t help when you find out that she was seen drinking out later that evening.

The ‘Rehab’ singer called off the concert due to a supposed illness. It’s not good to know that the supposed illness was a bad case of a hangover. Then she goes out that night to have some drinks at a London Pub with her hubby. She was also seen drinking the previous day.

I think Amy is over wanting to sing for a living. I think she wants to drink for a living.
