Amy Winehouse is dating the son of legendary boxer and grilling machine inventor George Foreman.
The ‘Rehab’ singer is smitten with George III – nicknamed ‘Monk’ - after the pair enjoyed a string of secret dates.
A source said: “Amy told us that she’s dating George Foreman’s son, she said he is absolutely gorgeous.
“Amy also laughed and revealed he’s a very big man. She seemed genuinely excited about him.”
The 60-year-old former world champion has five sons – all named George – and it is 26-year-old George III who Amy, also 26, is believed to be dating.
George III appeared in reality TV show ‘Family Foreman’ in 2008 and is a fitness fanatic.
Amy – who has battled drug and alcohol abuse - is hoping her new love will help her lead a healthier lifestyle.
The source added: “She gushed about him for ages, like a lovesick teenager. She says he really looks after his body and is into sport, fitness and healthy living.”
The beehived star made her return to the UK stage by appearing on TV talent show 'Strictly Come Dancing' last weekend - performing backing vocals for her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield, who is launching a pop career.

Amy Winehouse, Blake Fielder-Civil
granted divorce
Taken from The Associated Press
LONDON — Amy Winehouse's tempestuous marriage ended Thursday when the singer and Blake Fielder-Civil were granted a divorce by a judge in London.
A judge read out the divorce decree for "Fielder-Civil B. v Winehouse A.J." along with those of other estranged couples at a brief Family Court hearing.
Neither 25-year-old Winehouse nor Fielder-Civil, 27, was in court Thursday. The divorce becomes final after six weeks and a day.
Winehouse married Fielder-Civil in Miami in 2007, but he was arrested six months later over an assault and sent to jail.
He filed for divorce earlier this year on the grounds of the soul diva's infidelity.
Divorce papers filed with the court stated that Fielder-Civil found living with Winehouse "intolerable." Winehouse acknowledged adultery and said she would not contest the divorce.
Winehouse shot to stardom with the multi-Grammy-winning album "Back to Black" in 2006. But her music has been overshadowed by reports of drug use, run-ins with the law and her tempestuous marriage.
The singer has spent the last few months on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia. She is due to stand trial in London next week on charges of assaulting a fan.

Amy Winehouse Is Acquitted of Assault
Taken from The New York Times
Doubly good news for Amy Winehouse: The Associated Press reported that on Friday in a London court the soul singer was acquitted of charges that she assaulted a fan who wanted to be in a photograph with her. Sherene Flash, a dancer, has said that Ms. Winehouse hit her in the eye at a charity ball in Berkeley Square on Sept. 26 last year when she asked to take a picture of Ms. Winehouse. But District Judge Timothy Workman ruled in favor of Ms. Winehouse, who testified on Thursday that she was startled when Ms. Flash stood next to her to pose for a picture that was being taken by a friend. Also, Reuters reported that Ms. Winehouse is among the artists whose music appears on the iPod of Prime Minister Gordon Brown; his playlist also includes the Beatles, U2, Bach and Beethoven.

Amy Winehouse Moving Back to the UK
Taken from Hollyscoop
Amy Winehouse has outstayed her welcome in St. Lucia, and is finally going to head back home to London.
What started off as a Christmas vacation turned into a 7-month stay, and now finally after all these months, Winehouse has decided its time to go home.
A source tells Britain's the Daily Mirror, "It seems she is starting to overstay her welcome. She's been banned from hotels, the bars don't want her there and locals see her as a nuisance when she's drunk."
The source added, "She's lonely and wants to get back to what she knows. But she has to knuckle down. She's on a very fine line with the label and has pushed them almost as far as they will go."
The people of St. Lucia must be excited to see her go, but is the UK ready for Amy? She's had a hard time fighting her addiction in St. Lucia, and it's only going to get worse if she goes back home. Do you think there's still hope for Amy?

Amy Winehouse's alcohol addiction
is "killing" her parents
Taken from The Bosh
Amy Winehouse's alcohol addiction is "killing" her parents.
Mitch and Janis Winehouse are desperate to "rescue" their 25-year-old daughter, who they claim is in "denial" about her substance abuse problem.
In an interview with ITV News due to screen in the UK tonight (17.06.09), Mitch said: “I need my daughter to be a whole person again.
"I tried it all – I said, ‘Amy you’ve got to do this, you’ve got to go to this doctor, you’ve got to do this, you’ve got to do that, you’re killing me, you’re killing your mum.’ None of it worked.” Janis added: “The need to rescue her is enormous. I just want her to be OK and I would do whatever it took to make that right.
"Amy is in denial all the time. She probably feels trapped. But I know with addiction you do not have the choice because the substance itself directs you.
"I want to say to her, ‘Amy, what are you doing? Don’t you know what you’re doing?’ But by then she has got herself on to it to help her get through and I understand that.”
Mitch goes on to blame the 'Rehab' singer's estranged husband Blake Fielder-Civil for all her problems.
He explained: “The option of them being together is too horrible to contemplate. They are going to get divorced and who knows what’s going to happen down the line.
"Amy and Blake have decided that they want to get on with their lives separately, and if they get back together again in the future and they’re both clean and they still love each other, that’s up to them.”
The interview – taken from a forthcoming film by Daphne Barak - is also said to include "revelations" about Amy's time on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, and exclusive footage of her trying to play bongos while intoxicated.

Winehouse banned from taking in strays

Amy Winehouse is banned from adopting any more stray dogs in St. Lucia after outraged hotel staff had to fumigate her home.
Amy Winehouse is banned from adopting any more stray dogs in St. Lucia after outraged hotel staff had to fumigate her home.
The troubled star has been enjoying an extended break on the Caribbean island since December.
She surprised locals by taking in dogs she finds on the beach, and housing them in the luxury Cotton Bay resort she is living in.
But managers feared the star's makeshift kennels would cause a flea outbreak, so they deep-cleaned her suite and banned any more pets.
A source tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "Management initially turned a blind eye to what Amy was doing. But she's adopted about five or six dogs now. They're all strays, without the proper vaccinations and they all have fleas.
"The management did not want the risk of any of the fleas infecting any of the other rooms. So they got a firm of fumigators in to blitz Amy's quarters and told her not to bring any more animals on site."

Amy Winehouse's mother says singer needs rescue
Taken from The Associated PressLONDON (AP) — The mother of singer Amy Winehouse says her troubled daughter needs to be rescued.
In an interview due to be broadcast Wednesday by Britain's ITV News, Janis Winehouse says "Amy is in denial all the time" and is trapped by her addictions.
The 25-year-old's drug problems have been highly publicized and the soul diva has been in and out of rehab.
In the ITV interview her father, Mitch, says Winehouse is on a drug replacement program but continues to drink.
He says he has been powerless to change her behavior.
Snippets of the interview were shown Tuesday night on ITV. It was not immediately clear when the interview was conducted.
An e-mail sent late Tuesday to Winehouse's representative was not immediately returned.
