MITCH WINEHOUSE UPSET BY DAUGHTER AMY

Amy Winehouse Today In London

Rehab singer Amy Winehouse is still upsetting her father Mitch by smoking on stage just hours after he begged her to quit the horrible habit.The troubled star sang to the 80,000 strong crowd at Scotland’s T in the Park festival yesterday, while swigging alcohol and smoking like a chimney. It came just hours after her dad Mitch made an emotional plea on television, urging those very close to the star to stop providing her with drugs and cigarettes. Mitch, who has fallen ill himself trying to cope with his troubled childs problems, went on to ask his daughter to quit tobacco because of "a small amount of emphysema in her lungs". He also warned her death would not come from drugs, but from smoking, and told her it would be "a long, slow, painful death" in a bid to shock her into quitting all her addictions. He says, "I want people to understand - even if they give her one cigarette they’re causing her harm."She has a small amount of emphysema in the top of her lungs. It’s negligible, but it could lead to something a lot more serious."

AMY WINEHOUSE'S DAD SAY'S MORE REHAB

Mitch Winehouse With Daughter Amy's Photo

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse's loving father will force jailed hubby Blake Fielder Civil to enter rehab when he is released from prison, in a last ditch effort to save his daughter from a life of alcohol and drugs. Fielder-Civil is currently awaiting sentence in London’s Pentonville Prison after pleading guilty to perverting the course of justice and causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) in relation to an attack on bar landlord James King in June 2006.The 25-year-old could walk free as early as July 21st, following his sentencing. And dad Mitch is determined to make sure that Fielder-Civil is drug-free after his time behind bars, because he wants to make sure his rehab singer daughter isn’t tempted back to a life of wild partying. He says, "If he comes out, they can’t carry on as they have. I don’t think he’s been clean in prison. He’s a fit young man - he could carry on the rest of his life like that - but Amy can’t. If he comes out he will go straight into rehab."

Editors Note: Tempted back? What do we call what Amy is doing now? Tea totaling?

INVESTIGATION INTO AMY WINEHOUSE HUBBY

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse's jailed hubby Blake Fielder Civil is at the center of a new police investigation after photographs of him allegedly taking drugs while in jail have surfaced.The 25-year-old is currently awaiting sentence in London’s Pentonville Prison after pleading guilty to perverting the course of justice and grievous bodily harm toward bar owner James King in an incident in June 2006. Fielder-Civil has previously denied taking any drugs in the prison.But pictures published by British newspaper The Sun appear to show him smoking heroin. A prison source tells the publication, "Blake takes heroin whenever he can get hold of it. His claims to be clean are a fallacy and it is obvious he remains dependent. "There is nothing to suggest he won’t carry on when he’s outside and back with Amy. If she takes him back into her life when she is trying to get clean it will be a recipe for disaster." In January, The Sun also exposed a video of Winehouse, 24, seemingly smoking a crack pipe in her apartment after taking a cocktail of other drugs.

AMY WINEHOUSE'S HUBBY WRITES LETTER

Rehab singer Amy Winehouse's jailed hubby Blake Fielder Civil has written a letter of apology to the pub landlord he assaulted, according to media reports. Fielder-Civil is currently behind bars in London’s Pentonville Prison awaiting sentence for causing grievous bodily harm to pub owner James King in an incident in June 2006.The 26-year-old was later charged with approaching King to try to fix the outcome of the trial by offering him a $400,000 bribe. Now Fielder-Civil has sent a handwritten note expressing his remorse to victim King after pleading guilty to both counts at Snaresbrook Crown Court in east London last month. The letter reads: "I hope you don’t mind me writing, I think it’s okay to now I’ve gone guilty. I just wanted to apologize again from the bottom of my heart." But the letter has failed to convince King to forgive Fielder-Civil.The 36-year-old tells British newspaper The News of the World, "I hope both Blake and Amy rot. The first time I met them was when his boot was smashing my face."Since then I’ve been to hell and back, all because he’s stupid enough to think he could buy his freedom through his marriage to her and her millions." King has also opened up about Fielder-Civil’s co-defendant Anthony Kelly, 25, who allegedly threatened to kill him if he didn’t withdraw his claims in court. King adds: "He (Kelly) was very threatening. He told me I wouldn’t be giving evidence against Blake. He said Blake would pay me to withdraw my statement and I would be flown to Spain before the trial."Kelly’s men are not to be messed with. They said I could be knocked unconscious, blindfolded and locked in the boot of the car if necessary. But I still wanted to give evidence." Winehouse’s spouse, who faces up to five years behind bars for his crimes, and Kelly, who pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice, are due to be sentenced later this year.

AMY WINEHOUSE IS UNDER HOUSE ARREST

Rehab singer Amy Winehouse is under house arrest by her record company. The star has been put under 24-hour surveillance in a bid to keep her away from any dealers and drug-taking friends.Amy was discharged from a London clinic on Monday, after collapsing at her home earlier last month. She was subsequently diagnosed with traces of potentially deadly lung disease emphysema. And, in a very desperate attempt to keep her clean of drugs, executives at her music label Island Records have allegedly put her under the watchful eye of a full-time security guard. A source says, "Effectively, Amy’s been put under house arrest. She is being monitored by 24/7 surveillance to make sure she’s behaving herself and keeping out of harm’s way."There is also a security guard stationed outside her house around the clock to vet any undesirables. From now on, there’ll be no more waifs and strays (random people) coming into her place, wreaking havoc."Crucially, they don’t want known drug dealers coming anywhere near her. Amy has to give them names of people expected. Anyone who turns up uninvited will be sent packing. It’s for her own good."

Boy George

Culture Clubs Boy George is urging Rehab Singer Amy Winehouse's handlers to "drag" the star offstage and let her deal with her drug demons out of the limelight. George, a reformed drug addict, insists he knows exactly what the singer is going through, and what she needs more than anything is the support of friends and peace and quiet.The former Culture Club star, who admits to being a big Winehouse fan, says, "You can’t stop someone taking drugs, I know that, but you can certainly stop them performing. Somebody needs to stop her going onstage."I’ve been in that place… I know exactly what it’s like and I know how bad it is for her."I mean there’s nothing of her… she’s emaciated. It just breaks my heart to see it. Who is around to drag her off the stage?"

AMY WINEHOUSE FAN DENIES PULLING HAIR

Amy Winehouse

The man who was reportedly punched and attacked by rehab singer Amy Winehouse at the English music festival Glastonbury states he is "disappointed" by the star’s actions because it was a case of mistaken identity.The troubled star was singing her hit track Rehab to 75,000 fans on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday, when she jumped down into the security pit.The singer had been receiving medical attention for the lung disease emphysema - then appeared to turn on a member of the crowd, striking a fan with her fist. Festival organizer Michael Eavis and a spokesperson for the Winehouse quickly defended her actions, insisting she only lost her temper because someone tried to manhandle her and pull her hair. But James Gostelow, the fan who felt the brunt of the star’s anger at the huge event, insists he is the wrong person to get hit, only because it was a person behind him who had upset the singer. He tells BBC online, "I saw a hat being thrown from behind me and it hit Amy’s beehive. She looked down, saw me looking up, and her elbow went for me." However Gostelow, who states he has no intention of taking the issue further by making an official complaint, claims he is pleased with Winehouse’s anger, because it got him close to the huge star. He says, "At the end of the day it is all part of being at the front and being pushed by thousands of people. It is all part of the Glastonbury experience."I’m just pleased I got to see her. She did a great act. Not everyone can say they have been hit by Amy Winehouse. I just want to shake (the hand of) the person who threw the hat."

JAY Z. UNHAPPY WITH AMY WINEHOUSE

Jay Z. is stunned with Amy Winehouses mean temper at the Glastonbury Festival over the weekend, after launching a scathing attack on his very good friend Kayne West. The rehab singer hit the headlines the other day for attacking a audience member in the crowd at the English music festival on Saturday, but headliner Jay-Z was more put out by the singer’s comments about friend West minutes later. Jay-Z, who was watching her show from the side of Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, admits he was a little upset when Winehouse turned on his "brother" during a rant in which she attempted to defend festival organizers for hiring Jay-Z as Glastonbury’s first rap headliner. She told the audience: "Imagine if it was a c**t like Kanye West! `C**ts like Kanye’ - should be his next album title!" Jay-Z tells MTV.com, "She said something about Kanye late on (in her set) but I didn’t hear it and I don’t agree with it. He’s my brother and the biggest artist on Roc-a-fella (records) right now."I guess I should hook them up because he’s a great guy too. I don’t know what the problem is - I don’t know where that (comment) came from."

Watch Amy Winehouse Perform Rehab

Alleged drug addict Amy Winehouse stunned concert goers at the U.K.’s Glastonbury festival after seemingly attacking a fan.The rehab singer was belting out her hit track Rehab to 75,000 fans on the Pyramid Stage yesterday, when she jumped from the stage and into the high security pit. The troubled star,who has been receiving medical attention for the lung disease emphysema, then appeared to lash out at a fan, striking the unnamed devotee with her fist. But a spokesman for Winehouse insists she was provoked, adding, "The ‘lashing out’ was when someone tried to grab her hair and she reacted." Winehouse also hit back at fans who booed her as she paid tribute to her incarcerated husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

AMY WINEHOUSE HAS FATAL EMPHYSEMA

Rehab pop singer Amy Winehouse is suffering from the potentially fatal lung condition emphysema, her dad has revealed.Amy was admitted to a private clinic in Marylebone, London last Monday after collapsing at her home in the British capital. She tested negative for tuberculosis last Friday, but her father Mitch has now confirmed she is seriously ill with emphysema - a condition usually caused by heavy smoking and drug taking, liking smoking crack. He now fears his Grammy winning daughter, who was also found to have "irregular heartbeats", will end up like his own mother Cynthia, who had to breathe through an respirator before dying of lung cancer in 2006. He tells Britain’s Sunday Mirror newspaper, "She’s got emphysema. It’s in its early stages, but had it gone on for another month, (doctors) painted a very vivid picture of her sitting there like an old person with a mask on her face struggling to breathe."With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes her lungs are all gunked up. There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She’s got 70 per cent lung capacity."To think this could happen to my beautiful 24-year-old daughter’s life is preposterous. But if drugs mean more to her than breathing properly, then so be it. But the doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs, it won’t just ruin her voice, it will kill her…" And Mitch claims the singer has suffered another health scare during her time in hospital - a scan revealed a lump in her chest, although it is not cancerous. He adds, "After lots of tests they found a lump in Amy’s chest. A scan has shown it’s not cancerous and there are no traces of cancer in her blood. But they might need to double check. There is a chance she might need a biopsy. If they need to cut the lump out then that will mean a massive and painful operation and a lot of recuperation. At the moment, that doesn’t look likely." Winehouse is still undergoing treatment.

AMY WINEHOUSE ILLNESS STILL A MYSTERY

Amy Winehouse

Rehab singer Amy Winehouse has tested negative for the deadly disease tuberculosis, with doctors indicating the star is suffering from a bad chest infection. Winehouse was admitted into a private clinic in Marylebone, London, on Monday after she collapsed in her home. It had been reported the star may have contracted the infectious condition, which is said to be common among drug addicts and very heavy drinkers, as they have a reduced immunity system and are more vulnerable to infections. But a representative for the star has confirmed she has been given the all-clear after several medical tests. Chris Goodman tells People.com, "She has a chest infection and she had a routine test for TB, which came back negative."The 24-year-old is still undergoing treatment and doctors will soon decide whether she is fit to honor her upcoming performance commitments, including an appearance at legendary British music festival Glastonbury at the end of the month. Goodman adds, "She would really love to do the show -- she always wants to do these things. But she will listen to her doctors."

AMY WINEHOUSE TO STAY IN HOSPITAL

Party girl Amy Winehouse must stay in the hospital after collapsing at her London home the other day, because test results have proved inconclusive. Medics were called to her home yesterday after the 24-year-old star fainted and her father Mitch demanded she be taken to a hospital as "a precaution." But test results have proved inconclusive, and Winehouse has been ordered to stay in hospital for at least one more night. A spokesman for the star says, "Doctors want to get to the bottom of it before releasing her. There will be further tests and they will keep her under observation. She seems to be fine… but they are taking their time to be sure." The representative adds that Winehouse had been signing autographs for Canadian fans who had been waiting outside her house all day when she fainted. We wish this talented singer would get her act together. She could end up as the next Janis Joplin, and that would be very sad.

Amy Winehouse On Saturday

Rehab singer Amy Winehouse almost ruined her first live performance of the year after she hit the stage an hour late than had been planned.Winehouse made her live return on Saturday night at the Rock in Rio event in Lisbon, Portugal, but got off to a bad start after keeping her fans waiting over an hour to see the show.

BEYONCE MAY REPLACE AMY WINEHOUSE

Singing star Beyonce Knowles has reportedly been approached to replace Rehab singer Amy Winehouse and record the theme song for the forthcoming James Bond picture. Winehouse was rumored to have been dropped as the film’s official musical muse after DJ Mark Ronson told reporters he had scrapped his 007 collaboration with the singer, because she was not "ready" to work on music after a recent return to her erratic ways. But on Saturday, Winehouse confirmed that she has, in fact, completed the song, although she is unsure whether movie bosses will choose to green-light the track for use in the latest super spy offering. Now industry insiders claim Knowles has become the favorite to record the title track - although her representatives have yet to comment on any of the rumors.
