hey everyone! this weekend 13-year-old dionne bromfield made her television debut over in the UK on the show strictly come dancing (their version of dancing with the stars now in its 7th season) i posted about ms. bromfield a few weeks ago - she just happens to be amy winehouse's goddaughter - and the first artist signed to her new label venture lioness records - she was totally amazing and even had a seemingly sober ms. winehouse (now rocking blonde streaks!) provide backup vocals! i still can't believe how young dionne is ... i feel like this girl could potentially be huge - i love her voice! tomorrow her debut album introducing dionne bromfield is being released overseas - i so need to get my paws on a copy - i can't wait to hear it! anways i'm about to head out the door to catch cutie T.R. knight in parade downtown at the mark taper forum with my pal joey - i'm beyond excited - it's one of my favorite musicals of all-time! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo
hey everyone! for awhile i was totally obsessed with amy winehouse - even my mom told me to calm down with all my posts about her - over the past few months i've kind of put her out of my mind (right now there seems to be only room for whitney houston) but the other night i had the most realistic dream about ms. winehouse - i met her at some deli (i think in NYC) of course i immediately gushed and glowed about her music and kept asking her when she'll put out some new material (i got no definitive answer) plus i bought her a bunch of little snacks ... at least i wasn't buying her drugs!
next month will mark three years since the release of back to black - the award-winning album i completely fell in love and listened to for months on end! we all know she's made such a mess of herself (whitney never went where she did ...) but i'm still holding out hope she'll pull it together - these are shots of amy (dare i say clean and semi-sober?) out and about in london accompanied by a really cute guy - she even played a couple of songs at her friend's jazz club! i'm praying for at the very least a new song in the early part of 2010 and it better be decent - she's been in so many dramatic and fucked up situations - she has more than enough material to draw from and write about! girlfriend also needs to make sure to stay away from her junkie ex-hubby blake fielder-civil - he's not good for her - ms. winehouse need to move onwards and upwards! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
PS thank heavens amy winehouse finally got a new pair of ballerina slippers!
good morning y'all - happy friday! so amy winehouse was finally able to tear herself away from the island of st. lucia - she's back in jolly ol' london - and her first order of business (besides securing her divorce from blake) was to appear in court to face assault charges (with daddy mitch by her side) and just this morning she was found not guilty! (i wonder how the fan who got punched feels about that?) thankfully ms. winehouse is looking much better than she has in the past few months ... i really hope she can follow in the steps of whitney houston by staying clean and off drugs (aka being sober) and just maybe she'll actually start to work on music again ... it has seriously been ages since we've heard any new tunes from her! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good morning! did you ever wonder how many legos it would take to make a replica of troubled singer amy winehouse? well, wonder no more ... UK model maker craig stevens used 12,500 lego pieces to create a life-size figure of ms. winehouse! (and he joked the legos probably weigh more than the real thing) amy is still hanging out down in st. lucia (with lots of dogs) trying to put together a follow-up album to her award-winning release back to black (still one of my favorite albums) although things seem to be moving really slowly - i'm still holding onto a very small shred of hope she can actually get her shit together but i'm not holding my breath! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
hey everyone! i wonder if amy winehouse is ever going to leave st. lucia? it's been a little less than a month since my last post on ms. winehouse - when she tried to perform but the whole thing turned into a disaster! she's still down in paradise - doing god only knows what! amy was spotted on the beach again - this time hanging out with an unidentified young girl - i wonder if her parents know who she's paling around with? i don't think amy's necessarily a bad person at all - but she's certainly no role model for young impressionable minds! (just look at her smoking a cigarette in one hand - while holding onto the youngster's hand in the other) maybe she'll stay down there for good - and end up becoming a spinster / recluse - total material for a spooky island legend! i'm still holding onto hope (barely) she'll finally get her act together - but i've been saying that for so damn long now - i'm starting to sound like a broken record! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good evening! i hate to say this but i'm seriously about to toss in the towel and give up on hoping & praying amy winehouse will finally get her shit together - it's been ages since we've heard any new music from her - there's still no end in sight when it comes to her messy drinking / drugging antics! she's been down in st. lucia supposedly to work on the follow-up album to back to black which garnered tons of awards & accolades along with plenty of admiration from yours truly - it's still an incredible piece of work (easily one of my top favorite albums of all-time) but sadly i think it's probably her magnum opus - everything has been pointing in a downhill direction for quite a long time now - just a few days ago ms. winehouse showed up for a gig at the st. lucia jazz festival late after drinking for a rumored six hours and could barely remember the lyrics to her songs and was eventually booed off the stage! (here's a video of her disastrous performance) it's all such a shame - i can't believe she's just tossing her career out the window but girlfriend is still obviously an addict - until she addresses / deals with those issues (for real this time) i highly doubt anything is going to change - it's sad but oh so true! of course though in the end - there's no way i can give up hope when it comes to amy - however she's definitely testing my patience! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo
PS a spokesperson for ms. winehouse said it's the first time amy has sung those songs for a long time. they brought back all her memories of her (soon to be ex-hubby) blake. - that's the funniest thing i've heard all day long - talk about spinning a pile of crap - what a pathetic excuse!
good evening! i hope everyone is having a lovely weekend so far - this morning i had to go to the eye doctor because last week i was cleaning my glasses and one of the arms snapped off - i was so angry - and of course they can't be fixed - so i got to pick up a new pair of glasses (i went with a pair of clear oliver peoples) i can't wait until they come in next week - i do wear contacts as well but sometimes your eyes need a break from 'em! anyways my favorite mess amy winehouse is back down in st. lucia (without her infamous beehive) apparently she's looking into buying a place there to chill & work on the way overdue follow-up to her grammy-nominated album back to black (i just tossed it back on my ipod ... it's still just as great as the first time i heard it) supposedly she's going to preview some new songs as early as next month! (amy is working with producer salaam remi who helped craft her debut album frank) while she's down there i'm hoping she can remain clean and sober (being removed from the london scene is probably key to her sobriety) and maybe she'll pack on a few pounds - she can definitely use 'em! girlfriend was just spotted on the beach (looking far less glamorous than she did for her court appointment a few weeks ago - her yellow tube top is barely covering her nipples ... yikes!) plus amy took time out for a little horseback riding - which i haven't done in years - i seriously need to investigate where in los angeles i can do that - i adore horses! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo
finally we have troubled singer amy winehouse looking quite fabulous & fresh over in london today but unfortunately it wasn't for a gig or an awards show ... girlfriend had a date in court this morning (of course she arrived late) where she pleaded not guilty to assault charges (stemming from an incident last september) but by the looks of the pictures below - it looks like she's ready to make her debut at a debutante ball - certainly not deal with legal drama (the judge released her on uncondtional bail - she'll be back in court on july 23rd) at least amy seems to be in good (hopefully not high) spirits (daddy mitch winehouse was by her side) and actually looks like she took a shower! i was almost tempted to buy tickets to go to coachella only to see ms. winehouse perform - now i'm super glad i didn't because she's having drama with her visa and won't be admitted into the states to play at the festival! i'm really praying amy can put her addictions in the past and untangle herself from all her legal drama (including divorcing estranged hubby blake fielder-civil) and finally get back to making music (the reason i fell in love with her in the first place) it has been ages now since we've heard new music from her (smoking crack all the time isn't exactly conducive for being productive ... just ask whitney houston) popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good morning & happy friday everyone! my darling amy winehouse is back in london and yesterday she made a trip (all dolled up) over to her local deli to pick up some candy - at least she wasn't caught buying crack! she definitely looks better than she has in the past - i even think girlfriend got herself a brand new beehive - yet she's already running into problems - she's now been charged with 'common assault' over an incident from last september when she allegedly struck a fan while at a charity ball - she'll be appearing in court later this month to deal with the charges! although that didn't stop ms. winehouse from partying down last night (with a cute DJ named nick grimshaw) i hope she'll finally get around to recording some new music but i'm not going to hold my breathe! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good evening! i've had a lovely weekend so far (sadly it's over very soon) i love spending time with my parents (they head back to the east coast early wednesday morning) earlier this afternoon i took my mom to see slumdog millionaire which she wasn't so keen on seeing but actually ended up enjoying it - and i totally loved it - i can't believe i didn't see it sooner!
anyways right now the city of london should be on high alert because my darling (ultra messy) amy winehouse is back in town! she's been over in st. lucia taking a break since december - yet once she heard her estranged hubby blake fielder-civil was finally sprung from the slammer - she decided to head back! (if those two actually reunite - we should take bets on whose heart will explode first - literally) i wish i could say girlfriend looks fabulous and healthy but unfortunately she still looks like a messy crack head! i wonder if she'll actually manage to show up at the coachella festival on april 18th as planned? i'm still hopin' & prayin' that she'll get her shit together and record some fresh material - it's been far too long since she has released new music! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo
