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
Taken from SFGate
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."
