Brit’s obit?
Watching Britney Spears completely falling apart in the spotlight it getting depressing. It’s like watching a trapeze artist with no net and knowing she’s going to fall, but not being able to get out of your seat to save her. There’s some sick site that’s offering a reward to whoever can guess the Toxic singer’s death. “We’ll all have a date with our maker someday, but like Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears just can’t seem to wait,” reads WhenIsBritneyGoingToDie.com. “A couple of years ago she looked stunning and was a wet dream for every man. But for some reason Britney also landed in a self-destruction derby. Guess her final breath and be crowned Mr or Mrs Death. Winner will be rewarded with a PS3.” Along a similar (but definitely not the same) vein is the Associated Press already working on her obituary, just in case. “We are not wishing it, but if Britney passed away, it’s easily one of the biggest stories in a long time,” AP entertainment editor Jesse Washington told Usmagazine.com. “I think one would agree that Britney seems at risk right now… Of course, we would never wish any type of misfortune on anybody and hope that we would never have to use it until 50 years from now… but if something were to happen, we would have to be prepared.” Spears will be hitting the spookily doomed age of 27 at the end of this year, let’s just hope she gets some serious help before she goes the way of Kurt, Janis, Jimi or Jim.

Amy Manishevitz-house?
Amy Winehouse is purportedly prepping to make a holiday album with half Christmas songs, half Hanukkah songs. Uber-producer Mark Ronson, who’s collaborated with Winehouse before, told Rolling Stone magazine that, “we’re talking about making a holiday record, with Christmas songs on one side and Hanukkah songs on the other… She’s got songs called, like, Kosher Kisses and Alone Under the Mistletoe. She was kind of fucking around, but I was like, ‘You have all these amazing records to play for Christmas, like Motown and Carla Thomas and the Charlie Brown Christmas, and unfortunately, us Jews have nothing that cool to listen to. So we should do something.” Personally, I can't wait to hear what Kosher Kisses sounds like!

Amy goes blonde
Amy Winehouse revealed a big change from her big black beehive: it’s gone. She was spotted with bleached blonde hair held down with a bandana-looking thing. "Amy decided she wanted to bleach her hair at the beginning of the week,” a pal of the Rehab singer told the UK’s Mirror. "She sees it as a new year and a new start. A change of image seemed a good way to mark it. She didn't do it herself. A hairdresser coloured and styled it. It hasn't been all cut off. She's still got long hair." As for what spurred the change, Winehouse simply said "I felt like it."

Mr Blackwell's wicked worst-dressed list
It’s that time of the year again, bitchy Mr Blackwell releases his worst-dressed list and knocks the egos of some wannabe fashionista celebs down a couple pegs. Coming in at number one was Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham (who recently discussed her dreams of being a stylist, ouch). "Forget the fashion spice — wearing a skirt would suffice!,” Blackwell said. “In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty posh can really wreck-em." Into second place - by a beehive - was Amy Winehouse (who, on a sorta related topic, recently just dyed her hair platinum blonde) of whom Blackwell wrote: "Exploding beehives above… tacky polka-dots below... she's part ‘50s car-hop horror." Of third place’s Mary-Kate Olsen, he simply said: "YIKES!,” adding, “In layers of cut-rate kitsch, Mary-Kate's look is hard to explain... she resembles a tattered toothpick trapped in a hurricane!" Fourth place’s Fergie had her fashion described as "Another style-free 'Fergie' in fashion's hall of shame? Yes, when it comes to couture chaos, guess it's all in a name!" (love the rhymes!) She may be an American Idol, but a fashion idol Kelly Clarkson is not since she took a fifth place position. "Her heavenly voice soars above the rest... but those belly-baring bombs are hellish at best! She may be the queen of 'ProActive' — but that wardrobe looks downright radioactive!" In sixth was Bond babe Eva Green who was apparently "Stuck in neon nightmares not fit for the sane. Fashion this loud could give Bond a migraine! A profusion of confusion from toes to nose!" Canuck Avril Lavigne landed in seventh and earned the comment: "Gothic makeup courtesy of the mad spatula — Fashions provided by... The house of Dracula!" Next came Jessica Simpson who was warned to: "Forget the Cowboys. In prom queen screams, can it get any worse? She's a global fashion curse!" The penultimate position went to Lindsay Lohan: "Lindsay the fashion frenzy strikes again! Lohan takes fashion to a new low." And last but not least, Alison Arngrim: "Little Nellie of the prairie, looks like a 1940's fashion editor for the Farmer’s Almanac." However, o be fair to Arngrim, she did grow up playing Nellie on Little House on the Prairie, the fashion (or lack there of) was bound to rub off on her. But the piece of news that’s getting as much if not more coverage than people who actually landed on the list, is that Britney was spared. “For those of you who were expecting to see Britney's name adorn the 2007 list, I felt that it was inappropriate at this time to make comment, when her personal life is in such upheaval,” Blackwell said. “I hope 2008 is a better year for her.”

Amy arrested!
Amy Winehouse has been arrested! The Rehab singer was reportedly hauled in in connection to the criminal case concerning her hubby, Blake Fielder-Civil. A police source told People magazine that, "a 24-year-old woman has been arrested by appointment at an East London police station… She is currently in custody. The arrest was in connection with an investigation into perverting the course of justice." However, before anyone gets all dramatic, hold your horses, cause her rep told the mag “[Amy] did go in voluntarily to be interviewed and was placed under arrest, as is common practice in the UK, before being questioned." Whew, when I heard arrested I thought she was following more closely in the footsteps of her skuzzy new pal Pete Doherty (something tells me this is a friendship made in druggy hell).
