Amy Winehouse To Quit Music

Amy Winehouse is ready to quit music to reunite with husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

The 'Rehab' singer is prepared to do whatever it takes to win back ex-convict Blake - who started divorce proceedings while in prison after seeing Amy romantically linked to other men while holidaying in the Caribbean - and would even walk away from her successful singing career.

Writing on her page on social networking website Facebook, she wrote: "Amy would chuck it all in for 'im indoors.

She swiftly followed it with another message, saying: "Nothing is worth as much as Blake."

Friends of the troubled 26-year-old star replied urging her to move on from Blake, who recently moved his 17-year-old rumoured girlfriend Francesca Morralee into his London home.

Amy would chuck it all in for 'im indoors.
She swiftly followed it with another message, saying: Nothing is worth as much as Blake.
One wrote: "He ain't worth it."

In a heart-rending final note, Amy said: "Where's my oblivious Blakey boy?"

Just a few days ago it was reported Francesca left her £11,000-a-year Bancroft school in Woodford, Essex, to set up home with 27-year-old Blake.

A source said: "Francesca wants to leave the area and have a fresh start with Blake at his place in Camden."

In an effort to compete with her younger love rival, Amy - who has been battling drug addictions -has gained weight and is working hard to transform her image.

A friend of the star said: "Amy is like a different woman since returning from St Lucia. For a start off, she's all woman and no longer possesses the body of a pre-pubescent teenager. Since keeping away from the drugs, Amy's finding new pleasures in food - something she used to be pretty indifferent about. She's regained a few of her curves and has gone up a few dress sizes."

Birtish singer Amy Winehouse collaspes in the Carribean

Troubled British singer Amy Winehouse has been admitted to hospital after collapsing in the Caribbean.

The Back to Black hitmaker was taken to a medical facility on the island of St. Lucia after suddenly falling ill.

A representative for the star says she collapsed after running out of medication she had been using in her ongoing battle against drugs.

Winehouse has been enjoying a sunshine break in the resort since December following numerous health problems throughout 2008, which included a stint in rehab and several prolonged stays in hospital.

She flew out to the island in December following a stint in a London medical facility after reportedly suffering an adverse reaction to prescription medication.

Winehouse's spokesperson confirmed she was recovering well and was expected to be released from hospital shortly.

Amy Winehouse Moving To Suburbs

Amy Winehouse is moving to the suburbs.

The 'Rehab' singer - who has been battling her dug addiction on an extended Caribbean holiday - will swap hedonistic Camden for the quiet suburb of Hadley Wood on her return to London.

A friend told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "It's quiet and there won't be all that temptation on her doorstep.

"But it's near to her home London borough of Enfield and to Camden, so she won't feel too isolated. That's why she has agreed."

Hadley Wood's Tory MP David Burrowes says the North London suburb - which boarders Hertfordshire's idyllic countryside - has nothing to tempt the singer back onto a destructive path.

He said: "The area has no pubs, clubs or wine bars. The only nightlife is a whole lot of foxes and wildlife. Amy could take on a role in the community."

It was revealed earlier this month that Amy, who went to St. Lucia in December, is avoiding "bad influences" in London by recording her long-awaited third album in Jamaica, the home of late reggae legend Bob Marley.

A source said: "Amy is having the time of her life in St. Lucia and doesn't want it to end. She's looking and feeling so much better and is worried about the bad influences waiting for her back in London. She's written a big chunk of her new album and has told bosses she wants to go to Jamaica to record it."

Amy Winehouse photographed puffing on a cannabis joint on holiday

POP junkie AMY WINEHOUSE puffs on a cannabis joint on holiday — in her battle against drug addiction.

Pals say the Rehab singer, 25, smokes ten spliffs a day on Caribbean isle St Lucia to suppress cravings for class-A drugs.

And they are ENCOURAGING her £500-a-week habit — as it has been giving her the munchies and helping her back to a healthy weight.

A close friend said: “Amy hasn’t touched crack or cocaine for months. She has been really good.

“Drugs are easy to get in St Lucia but she has just stuck to smoking dope.

“The amazing thing is she smokes all morning then sees her personal trainer in the afternoon and is put through a gruelling workout.”

The star has also been keeping busy by giving singing lessons to kids at a school near to her villa.

But the headteacher was horrified when she turned up at class wearing a bra and skimpy vest.

A source said: “They scrabbled around and found a spare PE kit for her to wear. Because she’s so tiny, it fit.”

Amy Winehouse's record label is fed up with the singer's boozing and bizarre behavior

AMY WINEHOUSE’s record label yesterday flew a bigwig to her holiday resort for a heated showdown.

Universal’s commercial director Brian Rose was dispatched to St Lucia to “drive some common sense” into the singer.

The company is said to have become fed up with Amy’s boozing and bizarre behaviour.

The 25-year-old has been snapped crawling under tables begging for alcohol from other guests after staff at the swish Caribbean resort refused to serve her.

Guests also said the Rehab star has been blowing as much as £8,000 on food and drink for people she barely knows.

A label insider said: “Brian has been told to drive some common sense into Amy and find out what the hell is going on.

“There don’t seem to be any solid plans for new music.

“But Universal is a business and it needs to know what is happening with one of its biggest talents.”

Universal last night confirmed Mr Rose had flown to St Lucia but insisted the meeting was to discuss future projects.

Amy Winehouse's tennis date

Amy Winehouse has enjoyed several dates with a tennis instructor at her St. Lucia hotel.

The 'Rehab' singer - who reportedly romanced 21-year-old actor Josh Bowman while staying on the Caribbean island - has grown close to the handsome sports coach in recent days, despite declaring her love for jailed husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who has filed for divorce over Amy's holiday antics.

A source said: "Amy has met another man and they are getting on really well. She has had her eye on him for a while. He is another clean-cut, handsome, healthy bloke, much like Josh.

"He teaches tennis and other sports at the resort where Amy stayed before she moved to the villa. Amy's really into him".

Meanwhile, Amy reportedly blew £10,000 in one night after treating friends and other hotel guests to food, wine and champagne.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Amy blows thousands at a time on these people she barely knows.

"Some are friends but the majority are just outsiders who have latched on to her and taken advantage.

"They see her as an open cheque book. In one night, Amy's bill for this enormous group of at least 30 people came to £10,000."Amy, 25, recently said she "still loves" Blake - who has changed his status on social networking website Facebook to 'single' - but is determined to have fun while he serves his jail term for perverting the course of justice and grievous bodily harm.She said: "I still love my Blake. While he's locked away, I'm still going to have a good time. He can't do anything about it."

Amy Winehouse looking back to her best on holiday in St. Lucia

A holiday in St Lucia has done for Amy Winehouse what concerned friends and family couldn’t – it’s got the troubled singer on to proper meals and looking back to her best.

‘People blamed the drugs for Amy’s appearance, but she’s always struggled with eating disorders,’ a friend tells Now.

‘Her chaotic lifestyle meant she would eat kebabs or burgers, but that was rare. She’d gorge on sugar, too, if she got weak. She never ate three meals a day.’

While that may have been the singer’s dietary approach in London, the St Lucia sunshine has worked wonders.

She’s put on a total of 2st since reaching her thinnest last summer, just from eating regular meals.

Amy, 25, loves the spicy food on the Caribbean island and has been eating plenty of carb-heavy food and fry-ups since she began her stay in the exclusive LeSport Spa and Resort before Christmas.

In fact, friends say she’s so keen on St Lucia that she’s considering moving there to work on her music rather than heading back home for her next album.

‘Amy’s almost got curves again, like she did before Back To Black,’ says the friend. ‘It’s the heaviest and healthiest she’s been in a long time.

‘She’s been strong enough to get back to the gym again, which is something she really used to enjoy. If she comes home to her Camden flat now, some of us are wondering if she’ll just fall back into bad old habits.'

Amy Winehouse helping out as nurse during her hospital stay

TROUBLED AMY WINEHOUSE has been helping out as a NURSE during her stay in hospital, The Sun can reveal.

The Rehab singer, 25, is looking after patients and serving meals — in a bid to avoid being kicked out.

Amy has stayed at the exclusive London Clinic for almost three weeks.

She collapsed following a booze and drugs bender after a row with hubby BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL, 26.

She was on the verge of being kicked out at the start of this week after a visit from Blake sent her back to her old ways.

But an insider said: “She has been charming the nurses by helping them with their tasks. She’s been mucking in.”

Amy also asked X Factor bosses for tickets to tonight’s final — but producers refused as they did not want her to overshadow the contestants.

Shock! Amy Winehouse apparently had sex with Blake Fielder-Civil in her hospital room

Amy Winehouse apparently had sex with Blake Fielder-Civil in her hospital room after learning he was being sent back to jail.

It is thought the 26-year-old will return to Edmunds Hill Prison to complete his sentence after he allegedly failed a drugs test at the Life Works rehab centre in Surrey.

When Blake raced to tell Amy, 25, the news at The London Clinic, he is believed to have requested they be left alone for an hour.

‘It was obvious what went on,’ a source tells The Sun.

Blake later surrendered himself to officers in Shoreditch, east London, according to reports.

The former video assistant was due to leave rehab at the end of the month, but he may now remain incarcerated until early 2010.

In July, he was sentenced to 27 months behind bars for GBH and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

He said: "I dragged Amy into it and without me there is no doubt that she would never have gone down that road. I ruined something beautiful.

"Now I have to let her go to save her life. I am not abandoning her. I am doing this out of love.

"For her recovery I have to leave her alone. I will do anything for her - and that includes walking away."Other names rumoured to be starring on 'Celebrity Big Brother' include singer Whitney Houston and her ex-husband Bobby Brown, astrologer Russell Grant, comedian Mark Lamarr and ex-'The Word' presenter Terry Christian.

The 'Rehab' singer's father Mitch is believed to have had a secret meeting with legal experts to find a way to keep her estimated £10 million fortune safe if she decides to divorce Blake, who was released from prison last week.

It's really sad but this could be the end."The 25-year-old star has refused to pay for her husband's £30,000 rehab stay after deciding Blake needs to take responsibility for cleaning up his own life.
