Why is Amy Winehouse an Infamous Hottie?
From Wikipedia.com: Amy Jade Winehouse (born 14 September 1983 ) is an English soul , jazz , and R&B singer and songwriter . Her debut album, Frank (released in 2003) was nominated for the Mercury Prize . Winehouse is a two-time Ivor Novello Award winner; once in 2004 for her debut single "Stronger than Me " and again in May 2007 for the first single "Rehab " from her 2006 album Back to Black . On 14 February 2007 , she won a BRIT Award for Best British Female Artist (she had also been nominated for Best British Album On 14 August 2007 TMZ.com and the Daily Mirror reported that Winehouse and new husband Blake Fielder-Civil agreed to go to rehab in the United States after their respective fathers nearly came to blows over their heroin and cocaine addiction. Her spokesperson said "Amy Winehouse is putting all her touring commitments for this month on hold until further notice in order to address her health issues" and also remarked "Her family has requested that the media respect Amy’s privacy at this time. There will be no further comment"[21], [22],[23] This follows a 8 August incident where Winehouse was admitted to University College Hospital in London after slipping into a coma after overdosing on several drugs. The singer told the News of the World that she smoked heroin , snorted cocaine , took ecstasy and the psychedelic ketamine , along with whiskey and vodka during a bar crawl in London . She told the paper "It was just crazy -- one of the most terrifying moments of my life," she said. "I just don't know what got into me."[24], These developments occurred after months of speculation in the tabloids over alleged alcohol-induced behaviour. This included a drunken appearance on The Charlotte Church Show [25] heckling U2 frontman Bono during an acceptance speech at the Awards,[26]; and incidents where she allegedly assaulted a fan after a concert[27][28] and an attendee at her album launch party.[29] When questioned during an interview about being violent when drunk, Winehouse responded "I have a really good time some nights, but then I push it over the edge and ruin my boyfriend's night. I’m an ugly dickhead drunk, I really am."[28 On 16 November 2006 she appeared on Never Mind The Buzzcocks seemingly drunk and faced repeated comments (lighthearted banter) from host Simon Amstell about what he claimed were her alcohol and drug problems. On 7 January 2007 Winehouse ended a gig at G-A-Y part way through her first song after vomiting, reportedly as a result of being intoxicated.[30] In an interview the Australian edition of The Big Issue #275 Amy said this was from food poisoning after an overseas flight that day. At the Elle Style Awards on 14 February 2007 Winehouse was spotted with a number of older and more recent cuts and scars on her arm, which her spokesman attributed to recently tumbling and falling over on the streets of New York .[31] Despite recording a BBC1 Sessions TV special on 7 March 2007 she cancelled two big sell-out shows at London 's Shepherd's Bush Empire due to take place on the subsequent two evenings. Speculation about drinking problems continued when she was pictured on the morning of one of the gigs in the drinks section of her local supermarket, and also later that night drinking in a pub in Camden with comedian Noel Fielding and presenter Alex Zane .[32] She missed a gig at the Oxegen festival on 8 July 2007 , citing "exhaustion". She cited the same reason when missing her gig at the North Sea Jazz Festival and Skanderborg Festival [33] later that month, while she claimed she couldn't make it to the 2007 Pinkpop festival because she wasn't let on the plane drunk. The Independent published an article about manic depression, in which it quotes Winehouse as stating that she is a clinically diagnosed manic depressive who refuses to take medication.[34] In September 2006, Winehouse was reported to have dropped three dress sizes because of comments made to her about her size.[35] In an interview in The Daily Telegraph Magazine (16 September 2006 ), when asked if this was the cause she replied "No. No. No. I don't listen to anyone except my ... inner child anyway. If someone had said to me, Amy, lose a stone which they wouldn't - I don't think I would have listened anyway." In October, Winehouse admitted to have previously been affected by eating disorders . "A little bit of anorexia , a little bit of bulimia . I'm not totally OK now but I don't think any woman is."[36] Winehouse has a number of "old school" tattoos of naked women on her body. When asked about them, she was quoted as saying "I like pin-up girls. I’m more of a boy than a girl. I’m not a lesbian, though — not before a sambuca anyway."[37] On 18 May 2007 Winehouse married Blake Fielder-Civil in an unannounced ceremony in Miami, Florida.[38] Multiple press accounts that reported the wedding have suggested that Winehouse's relationship with Fielder-Civil was the inspiration for several of the songs on Back to Black Winehouse's proclivity for domestic violence emerged again in a June 2007 interview with World Entertainment News Network: "I'll beat up Blake when I'm drunk. I don't think I have ever bruised him, but I do have my way. If he says one thing I don't like then I'll chin him."[39] She said she would own a beauty salon once her singing schedule calms down.[ -The singer was also the cover artist for the American publication Spin Magazine in a story entitled "Up All Night With Amy Winehouse The Dangerous New Queen of Soul" -On 11 May 2007 , Winehouse appeared on Canadian music show, Much on Demand , and arrived late, with only enough time to play her song "Rehab". -On 28 and 29 June 2007 , Amy supported the Arctic Monkeys at their 'mini-fest' at the LCCC, Old Trafford. |
