When it comes to going way too far with the partying, there’s no one who can do it quite like the British. Witness 2008’s most full-on caners. Amy Winehouse made trips in and out of rehab so often she collected loyalty points, all the while dressed like a cracked-out 1950’s housewife pining for Blake Incarcerated. Lily Allen kept it simple by being the archetypal belligerent drunk — heckling her co-presenter Elton John at the GQ Men of the Year night and also being carried out of the Glamour awards. Classic. Peaches Geldof kept her PDAs (that’s Public Displays of Alcholism) to a small number, but trumped them all when she was filmed buying drugs from Amy Winehouse’s alleged dealer (hey, it’s a small Camden) and then suffered from a suspected overdose in the summer. And while royal Princess Beatrice kept herself far more composed (and clever) than this, there was hardly a bash she wasn’t spotted at this year. Partying without the incriminating pap photo at the end of the night? We like!

“You know, I’m NOT some sad stay-at-home numpty, like those mean Scandalist people said I was the other day! Just because I watch the X-Factor it doesn’t mean I’m not that edgy car-wreck that everyone knows and loves anymore! I’ll bloody well show them. Ha - I just went out to the pub at 2 in the morning, and I’m only coming home now that it’s 5am! Beat that! And it’s on a school night. I’m so crazy. And I realized maybe that curly perm was a bad idea. So I’ve put my lovely hairpiece back in at the pub. There’s nothing that helps with a bit of hairdressing than a few vodka shots. Right, so I’m back in business. Party-hard Amy is back! And don’t ever accuse me of having a boring non-life again!”
We know this is what you’re thinking, Amy Winehouse. We get it. We’re very sorry we said you liked cozy nights in and won’t do it again.

Just like many of us in the dark, gloomy, cold Britain that passes in November, it’s reassuring to know that not all celebs are whooping it up at the coolest, most exclusive parties not open to the rest of us mere mortals. No, some of our biggest stars are holed up inside, keeping warm and watching The X-Factor, too, just like Amy Winehouse! Yes, Camden’s former reigning caner queen actually prefers a cosy night in shouting at the TV, according to another legendary intercom interview reported by the News of the World. In it, Amy spends most of her time ranting about the popular talent show.
“Let me say one thing that is pertinent and I won’t swear on it either. It’s got nothing to do with Simon Cowell, although everything that’s wrong in the world probably does. I mean he’s the reason that all them hairdressers haven’t taken their pictures out of the window since the Sixties,” she said, while also accusing fellow judges Louis Walsh of not “knowing sh*t” and Dannii Minogue of being “so embarrassing”. But star judge and the UK’s woman of the hour Cheryl Cole is the exception, with Wino believing the Girls Aloud singer fancies her.
Move over Sam and Lindsay! If this ever were to happen, your time as reigning celesbian queens is OVAH.

Any hope that Amy Winehouse has been cleaning up was put on notice when the singer did shots in a pub earlier today (we almost wrote “troubled singer,” but “troubled Amy Winehouse” is kind of redundant). Before her daytime boozing with photographer Blake Wood and friends, Wino surprised paps by chatting in a fishnet shirt and flesh-colored bra—mmm, almost as tasty as the cheese and toast she was munching on.
Who knows? Maybe this entire ugh-fest was meant to piss off the other Blake. You know, the one she married that’s trapped in a rehab she won’t pay for.
Check out the gallery and marvel at how many hideous faces she can make in a day.

If you read drama into Amy Winehouse’s absence from Blake Fielder-Civil’s prison release, you might be right. While she’s off smacking photographers and scaring small children, Sophie Schandorff, the model who mouthed “I love you” at his trial, has announced on Facebook that she’s “celebrating the return of her sailor.” Permission to dock granted!
But if Schandorff gets the seaman, don’t expect Winehouse to pay his rehab bills. According to a source for The Sun, “Blake thought he would click his fingers and she’d stump up the 30 grand. But so far she has refused. He’s not happy.” Blake, sneaking out of rehab (not a good sign), told the paper, “Tell Amy, ‘I love you and I wish I could be with you.’ I just can’t wait to get this over and done with and see Amy again.” The feeling isn’t mutual, though—Wino is reportedly meeting with divorce lawyers instead. Who knows? Maybe she’ll gain enough inspiration from the split to finally record another album.

Much like it was a big week in America, it was also a big week in Jolly Old England: Blake Fielder-Civil, more commonly known as Mr. Amy Winehouse, was released from jail after a year behind bars. Seems Mr. Winehouse got himself caught up with the law when he tried to prevent a witness from testifying in another court case against him — Wino sure can pick ‘em! And while Blake’s serving a mandatory term in rehab before he’s completely paid his debt to society, we’ve got the perfect playlist for when he uses his wife’s money to buy himself a brand new iPod. From his initial rendezvous with his uber-talented wife to his newfound “Sweet Freedom,” we’ve got the soundtrack for his ex-con lifestyle.

What a difference a year makes. At Amy Winehouse’s husband’s trial, the singer was a constant fixture during proceedings, often showing up late, throwing a fit and then having to be asked to quiet down as she moaned “Blake, I love you.” But when husband Blake Fielder-Civil was released from jail this morning, she was nowhere to be found.
Just two weeks ago the bee-hived belter was telling a French reporter just how much she missed her “Blake Incarcerated,” but when Blake busted out of the pokey, after serving a year for tampering with a witness and obstructing justice, Wino wasn’t there. The singer’s been in and out of the hospital this week with a “Chest infection,” and we’re sure that Blake popped right over to bring her some tea and sympathy.
However, she obviously had her strength up enough to do battle with the paparazzi outside her London home. As you can see from the photos, Amy’s still not looking so good. [The Mirror; Photo: Splash Images]

Britain’s favorite cracked-out toothpick, Amy Winehouse, is allegedly putting on some much-needed weight while hiding out in her London flat. The Mirror reports that Amy, who just checked out of the hospital - again - for a lung infection, has gained around 14 pounds and is showing off new, clear skin. Turns out all that sleep and stability she got while trapped in the hospital actually did the girl some good! Now Amy’s focusing on quitting smoking and gorging herself with a new addiction: sugar. A source reveals that the songstress has installed “a £5,000 fairground sweetshop in her pad. It’s got a pink candyfloss maker, a Slush Puppy machine and even an old-fashioned sweet shop counter complete with big jars of hardboiled sweets and liquorice.”
Yes, Amy Winehouse lives in a candy shop, but better that than a crack house. For more of Amy’s transforming body, check out the pics below. Curves suit her way better than cocaine, don’t cha think?

Finally, a scientific study that makes us happy! Apparently, we all have Jennifer Aniston living in our brain. No, that’s not quite it. Basically, the fact we can recognize a picture of Jen and John at fifty paces, but not be able to change a plug is fine.
“The ‘Jennifer Aniston neuron’, as it has been dubbed, helps explain why we are able to recognize familiar faces so quickly. When shown a picture of the Friends actress, a particular cell in people’s brains is fired up. Photos of other celebrities — such as Halle Berry, Tom Cruise or Oprah Winfrey — spark a reaction in entirely different cells, the study by neuroscientists at the University of Leicester showed. … It appears that we assign individual cells to recognize faces we see regularly — from television stars and politicians to close friends and family,” explains the Telegraph.
Excellent news. We’re happy enough to have a Cheryl Cole brain cell. Even an Amy Winehouse one is OK. But this study throws up a worrying thought. Does that mean there’s a special brain cell in all of our heads for Kerry Katona? And Peaches Geldof? And even Kim Kardashian? God. [Photo: WireImage]

Only a few days ago Amy Winehouse gave a bizarre — but incredibly articulate for her — interview to a French journalist through her flat intercom, so we were kind of hoping that all might be getting a little better in the wacky world of Winehouse. But as predictable as Liz Hurley giving us a good full-frontal shot of her boobs again, snaps of Amy in the weekend papers showed her looking out of it once more … and being taken away to rehab AGAIN.
This time she’s in a clinic suffering from a “chest infection,” according to dad Mitch — and still hasn’t turned up for a police interview after she allegedly assaulted a woman fan last month. She didn’t look the picture of health, either, what with her lovely yellow teeth, scabby skin and half-crazed look. It’s SO A/W 2008! So cool that even Cindy Crawford (pictured above) dressed up as Amy for Halloween this weekend, and guttingly looked so much hotter than the real thing.
Call us old romantics, but with Britney on the mend, we’re willing for another A-list car crash to sort themselves out in time for Christmas. We’ll probably have to find another one, though, eh, Ames? [Source: News of the World; Photo: X-17 Online]
