David Hasselhoff Relates Himself To Amy Winehouse
Posted on 02. Nov, 2009 by CSS.
Baywatch star David Hasselhoff has compared himself to drug-addled singer Amy Winehouse, saying that the pair share an addiction to alcohol that is “a universal problem.”
The singer/actor was admitted to rehab last month amid reports he accidentally hit a doctor during a booze binge. The Hoff has also been hospitalized on two separate occasions this year suffering from alcohol poisoning.
The star is now openly acknowledging that he has a drinking problem.
“The problem that I’ve experienced in my own life and some of the stuff that’s been documented about Amy is a universal problem. It’s an illness. You don’t wake up in the morning and decide to have this problem.”
I think it is very courageous for David to finally speak out about his struggle which has been publicly known for some time. It is so true, no one plans on being an alcoholic-it’s a disease- and I wish him the best with his recovery.

Glee is getting into the groove with Madonna’s catalog! Madonna has given the smash FOX musical comedy the rights to her entire catalog of music and producers are planning an entire episode

I sure hope they’ll do “Lucky Star.” I love that jam — nothing beats ’80s-era Madonna.
On Wednesday, Dianna Agron, who plays scheming pregnant cheerleader Quinn Fabray on the series, told the Los Angeles Times that she will be singing one of Madge’s classic jams on an episode airing later this year.
“There’s a Madonna song coming up in episode 10…You get this news that you’re gonna sing all these songs that you grew up listening to and it’s amazing!”

Amy Winehouse Booed Off Stage At St. Lucia Jazz Festival
Posted on 11. May, 2009 by CSS.
Amy Winehouse told booing fans to “f*** off” as she cut short her comeback concert in the Caribbean.
The star, 25, also flashed her knickers, stumbled on stage, and even appeared to forget lyrics.
It all went down on Friday, as Amy was appearing at the St Lucia Jazz Festival “as a thank you to an island and people that have been so welcoming” to her.
On Saturday, her spokesman released a statement saying Amy was “disappointed” at abandoning her performance but blamed the stormy weather. He said rain pounding the stage caused lighting and sound equipment to fail.
“Amy and the band tried to soldier on but the set had to be cut short. Amy is very disappointed as St. Lucia has been wonderful to her and its people have welcomed her with open arms, but circumstances beyond anyone’s control meant that this special show did not go as planned,” the statement read.
But concertgoers who were on-hand for the Grammy winner’s shaky performance tell a different story.
In an interview with the BBC, one shocked fan said: “She seemed virtually asleep at one point while sitting at the front of the stage with her eyes closed. It was weird, she kept taking her shoes on and off. At other times she stopped singing. The audience started booing and she yelled f*** off at least twice.”
Having just watched the video below documenting her night-it is quite obvious ‘Rain’ was not the issue:

Posted on 21. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
Amy Winehouse has landed herself in hot water -literally.
The “Valerie” singer suffered severe burns to her leg after a pasta cooking blunder over the weekend.
It all started when the star decided to hold a dinner party for her pals on the Caribbean isle of St. Lucia, where she has spent much of the last four months working on a new album. The joyous get-together ended in disaster when a huge pan of boiling water full of pasta fell from the cooker and onto Amy’s leg, leaving the critically-acclaimed singer with burns that appear to have been left untreated.
“Amy was making herself a bowl of pasta when the pot fell over and she was scolded by boiling water.”
Amy’s spokesperson insists the wounds aren’t as bad as they look: “She’s not in a lot of pain, she’s just letting it breathe.”
Ouch!

Amy Winehouse's Soon To Be Ex-Hubby Impregnates Mistress!
Posted on 13. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
Amy Winehouse’s troubled marriage just took a turn for the worse–the soul singer’s estranged husband is reportedly expecting a child with one of his mistresses.
Blake filed for divorce from Amy–who cheated several times during his 2008 incarceration–in January. The pair eloped in Miami in May of 2007.
They do not have a prenup.
On Saturday, Gilleen Morris, 31, told the News of the World she is carrying Blake’s baby.
The blonde, who already has two kids by two different dads, met Blake through friends during his stint in a Sheffield clinic, where he is still receiving treatment for heroin addiction. Gillen says she is six weeks pregnant after her brief relationship with Amy’s husband at the rehab center.
Gillen told the tab: “Blake seduced me and we had a secret fling. When I told him I was pregnant he said, ‘Oh fuck!’ But he vowed to stand by me and raise the child.”
One of Gilleen’s friends tells The Mirror: “Blake is smitten with Gilleen…..They were at it all the time – sneaking off to the toilets for sex – and now she is pregnant.”
“Blake is so keen on her, he has told her he never cared about Amy and just wants the divorce over and done with so he can get his money and get on with his life with her. He says he’s in love with her.”
“He calls her his beaut and she calls him Blakie.”
How romantic…

Michael Jackson "Thriller" Greatest Album Ever According To MTV Poll
Posted on 09. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
Michael Jackson’s 1983 LP Thriller has been named the “Greatest Album Ever” in a new poll from MTV. The pop superstar’s Quincy Jones-produced album–which featured hits like “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” “Thriller,” and “The Girl Is Mine”— is the world’s best-selling album and dominated a poll of MTV viewers.

Amy Winehouse Moving To St. Lucia
Posted on 19. Feb, 2009 by CSS.
Camden just lost its resident crackhead.
Amy Winehouse has fallen so in love with the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, the Grammy Award-winning crooner is planning to move there permanently.
Tabloid spies say St. Lucia has had such a positive effect on her recovery from her heroin and crack cocaine addictions, she is looking to put down roots there, and has been spotted househunting with her dad, Mitch Winehouse over the past few weeks.
A pal of the 25-year-old singer tells The Sun, “Mitch and Amy have been looking at property while he has been in St. Lucia. They saw a few potential places this weekend.”
“Amy loves it over there and being away from it all has helped her hugely in the fight against drugs.”
The friend adds, “She has been drinking and smoking cannabis, but is still a million times better than she was in Camden. Her family thinks the best way to keep her out of trouble is to have a house in the suburbs and a place in the Caribbean where she can totally get away.”

Amy Winehouse Up For Movie Role?
Posted on 15. Jan, 2009 by CSS.
Amy Winehouse is up for her first feature film role— provided she can stay off crack for longer than five minutes.
The 25-year-old “Rehab” hitmaker has been approached by Universal Pictures to play an inspiring music teacher in an upcoming film about a school of troubled students, Britain’s Sun reported on Wednesday.
Actor Jonathan Rhys Meyer’s name is being tossed around as a possible co-star.
“The movie is a bit like Michelle Pfeiffer’s film Dangerous Minds. Playing a music teacher will allow Amy to use her singing skills,” says a Sun insider.
Movie bosses have offered Amy acting lessons with the help of a trained coach if she opts to accept their offer.
“She has been offered an acting coach called Matt Ryan from the Royal Academy of Music Theatre Department in London.”
“But she needs to improve her health and state of mind, or the opportunity will be withdrawn,” the source adds. “You can’t have a teacher looking like a scrawny crack addict….”
I am not so sure about this one- it sounds good on paper but do we even really know if Amy’s gotten her act together? I would think she wouldn’t be able to be insured on a film set…

Amy Winehouse Getting The Big 'D'
Posted on 12. Jan, 2009 by CSS.
Blake Fielder-Civil has started divorce proceedings against his Grammy Award-winning wife Amy Winehouse, Britain’s Daily Mail has confirmed.
The incarcerated heroin addict is reportedly filing on the grounds of adultery after being shown pictures of Amy canoodling on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia with 21-year-old rugby player Josh Bowman.
Blake Fielder-Civil has instructed celebrity lawyer Henri Brandman to file papers over the weekend.
“I can confirm that I have been instructed to commence divorce proceedings on the grounds of Amy’s adultery,” Brandman said in a statement Sunday.
The attorney claims the scorned hubby will sue for half of Wino’s fortune and could claim a $20million payoff because the pair married without a prenup in May 2007.
