Amy Winehouse

YOU CAN BID ON A PIECE OF AMY WINEHOUSE’S LIFE

Julien’s Auctions is about to have a huge auction of Amy Winehouse’s personal possessions and it made us kind of sad just looking at the offerings. The event is called “Property from the Life and Career of Amy Winehouse” and it looks like someone just emptied everything out of her apartment when she died- except the furniture. Besides the Elvis action figures she collected, you can bid on spiked cat collars that she wore as bracelets, her 7 Jackie Collins books, a pink heart shaped laundry bucket, 50’s and 60’s CDs and songbooks, TONS of black lace bras and bikinis, negligees, soiled ballet slippers, halter dresses and lots of jeans, t-shirts and shorts. Not many designer labels- mostly Zara, Topshop, and Adidas. Some clothes have food spots on the front. Amy lost lot of weight after she met the druggy boyfriend Blake Fielder-Civil, so there’s a variety of clothing sizes. The outfit in the photo above is a Lacoste tank top size 36 and 7 For All Mankind denim shorts size 25. Bidding starts at $75 for the ensemble – the live and online auction is Nov 6-7.

MARK RONSON: BEST LOOKING MUSIC PRODUCER?

We remember music producer Mark Ronson, 42, most for putting Amy Winehouse on the map – and getting her album Back to Black together could NOT have been easy. He started out as a music DJ in New York clubs and eventually made music with the likes of Bruno Mars, Adele, Kanye etc. We love his look – especially the hair. (He was voted Most Stylish man in the UK by GQ) He’s pictured here in New York with his sister Charlotte, twin sister of Samantha Ronson.

AMY WINEHOUSE’S LOW-LIFE EXHUSBAND IS IN TROUBLE AGAIN

Remember Amy Winehouse’s attractively sleazy ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil? Just as you suspected, he probably IS bad to the bone. Even Amy admitted that her blind love for Blake “didn’t do her any favors.” (He introduced her to heroin.) Blake, 34, is still up to no good. Currently he’s on the run from the cops. He skipped bail after being accused of stealing a barmaid’s purse at a Leeds pub. He was identified on the security camera.

AMY WINEHOUSE : IF LOVING BLAKE WAS WRONG, SHE DIDN’T WANT TO BE RIGHT

29921475amy

Amy, the documentary chronicling the rise and fall of the sensational singer Amy Winehouse, opens this week. Amy died of alcohol poisoning at the age of 27 and we really miss her. We loved the fact that she patterned her style after the 60’s group that we ALSO loved, The Shangri-Las. Unfortunately, Amy fell hard for the wrong man. She married Blake Fielder-Civil and was in seventh heaven, but he encouraged her to indulge in all of HIS bad habits and she was happy to do so. Their divorce left her shattered and she never really recovered. Sad story, but we can’t WAIT to see the documentary.

WHAT REALLY KILLED AMY WINEHOUSE?

Amy Winehouse’s brother Alex is claims that bulimia is what really killed her. He told The Observer magazine that Amy started losing weight at 17 with bulimia, and many of her friends did it too. Her friends eventually stopped, but Amy didn’t. She was weak and susceptible. Alex thinks she would have been strong enough to survive her alcohol overdose if she had been healthy. (She had 5x the legal limit of alcohol in her system when she died.) Amy’s foundation continues to donate to eating disorder charities.

“LIONESS: HIDDEN TREASURES” – AMY WINEHOUSE DOES IT AGAIN

We loved writing about the soap opera life of Amy Winehouse before she tragically died of alcohol poisoning last July, and we appreciated her original style. In the five years after she released her huge album “Back to Black” she didn’t seem to do much singing, but 12 songs from various recording sessions over the last decade, including a duet with Tony Bennett, are featured in her new posthumous album released today. The album, “Lioness: Hidden Treasures,” is getting good reviews and reminds us of what a one-of-a-kind talent we lost.

AMY WINEHOUSE’S EX-HUSBAND BLAKE FIELDER- CIVIL IS WILLING TO TELL ALL

While Amy Winehouse’s unfortunate exhusband Blake Fielder-Civil has been languishing in jail, he’s been thinking about writing a book about his romance and two year marriage with Amy. Blake is currently incarcerated for burglary and gun charges, so he has a lot of time to think. Publishers are probably buzzing around him because he also has a lot of photos and filmed footage of Amy that he’s never shared. They divorced in 2009. This could be a life changing opportunity for Blake who’s been accused of getting Amy into hard drugs. At the very least it could be another “Sid & Nancy” story.

LADY GAGA WANTS TO STAR IN “THE AMY WINEHOUSE STORY”

Lady Gaga is hell-bent on becoming a movie star and she wants to kick off her acting career by starring as Amy Winehouse in her biography. According to Mike Walker in the National Enquirer, Gaga IDOLIZED Amy and often imitated her for friends. Her friends feel she’d be the perfect person to play Amy. Now Gaga has her high powered production team working to put together a deal for the Amy Winehouse story. Actually, we can’t think of anyone more appropriate to play Amy…

AMY WINEHOUSE FANS GIVE HER THE SEND-OFF SHE WOULD HAVE WANTED

The legend that was Amy Winehouse is attracting throngs of fans to the Camden Square house where she died. By day, her fans from around the world leave gifts and flowers and weep and commiserate about their loss. But at night the crowd is different – rowdy boozers play music, sing, dance and fight and smoke. Sometimes they swill from bottles left at Amy’s shrine. The high-as-a-kite after hours people party all night in front of her house and often tangle with cops, but they insist “It’s what Amy would have wanted.”

AMY WINEHOUSE’S LAST BOYFRIEND REG TRAVISS SUFFERS IN SILENCE

As the world mourns the loss of Amy Winehouse, her last love, Reg Traviss is strangely silent. He was seen looking distraught outside her house shortly after her death was announced. (He also looks incredibly HOT! – like he just stepped out of a Guy Ritchie movie) ) Reg and Amy dated on and off for almost a year and split before her last visit to rehab because he couldn’t tolerate her substance abuse.
