Waxy Winehouse

[Chester Drawers]

A waxwork model of Amy Winehouse has been unveiled at Madame Tussauds.

The singer's parents, Mitch and Janis, revealed the model, “complete with trademark beehive and sailor tattoos", at the London attraction.

Mr Winehouse said the waxwork of his 24-year-old daughter was an "absolutely incredible" likeness.

He added that the Rehab singer was getting over her drug addiction. He said: "She's on a drug replacement programme and she's doing really well."

New album

The model of the Grammy Award-winning singer is dressed in the same outfit that her real-life inspiration wore to the Brit awards - a thigh-skimming mini dress teamed with black high heels and huge red hooped earrings.


Mr Winehouse said he was 'stunned' at the likeness
When he saw the waxwork for the first time, Mr Winehouse said: "It captures her totally... but she's not that skinny anymore.

"I can't get over the tattoos. They are perfect."

Mr Winehouse also confirmed his daughter was about to start work on a new album.

"She has two or three more live gigs then she will be working on her new album. She's got quite a few songs already."

The Back To Black singer has rarely been out of the headlines in recent months. In June she was told she had "traces" of the lung disease emphysema, but went on to perform at the Nelson Mandela concert in London, and the Glastonbury Festival.

If Blake comes out of prison and proves to be a positive influence on Amy, then they will have a fantastic life

Mitch Winehouse

Earlier this week, her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, was jailed for 27 months for attacking a pub landlord and perverting the course of justice.

The 26-year-old admitted assaulting James King, 36, at the Macbeths pub in Hoxton, east London, in June 2006. He has already spent nine months on remand.

Mr Winehouse said he hoped Fielder-Civil could turn his life around.

"If Blake comes out of prison and proves to be a positive influence on Amy, then they will have a fantastic life, and he will make his parents very proud.

"The other option is just not tenable.

"I don't know if the extra five or six months he has to spend in prison will make a difference, I just don't know."

He added: "Amy wants to have children, probably with Blake, and they will become her drug of choice because she is mad about kids."


Amazingly a whole piece about Miss Winehouse without the words "troubled singer"....

Is the Waxwork dummy supported by minders ?

If its a true likeness it will keep falling over

 

[coventrygull]

they should melt the

i would.

if it has all the right waxy orifices, of course.

 

[Trigger]

Why do people persist in giving this PATHETIC attempt at a 'human being' all the coverage she/it quite clearly craves?

 

[Hiney]

Tough job for the modellers.

At lest they didn't have to use too much WAX

 

[colinpants]

Complete waste of f!!!ing space if she hadn't made a record she'd be nothing more than a shopliffter and prostitute.

 

[Trigger]

LOOK, I've made my very own model of Amy Shithouse...

 

[Scotty Mac]

can you pay extra to have sex with it?

 

[NMH]

One has to wonder at the simple optimism, thinking that 'Blake will have a wonderful life with her, make nice babies and swan away to collect all the awards together with the healthy and proud Mother'.

Does that stuff EVER happen? Daddy Winehouse is on better drugs than his daughter, it seems.

 

[barney]

ridiculous to glorify a smack head

 

[csider]

Waste of money. Didnt see a crack pipe or needle...maybe its hidden in her stinky hair.

 

[John Bumlick]

the amount of vitriol aimed at ms. winehouse is quite astonishing. you do realise that, if every daily mail reader made a conscious decision to ignore her, she'd go away, don't you?

That makes no sense whatsoever.
The woman is all over the newspapers and radio - and the public are subjected to her life and her name every few minutes of every day. The public at large is having her foisted upon them whether they like it or not, because she's the media's idea of a dreamgirl/dramaqueen/carcrash.

We now have to keep the radio and tv off, and not buy newspapers, to avoid the emaciated and inebriated witch with the hornet's nest head and brain to match.
She's even bought her own pathetic image, where singing about refusing help and keeping the hardstuff around at all times, is to be heralded. "Everyone loves it, I get screwed up and they throw more millions into my skinny lap".

I can imagine her father, when she finally does a Janis and pops off this mortal coil in a drunken drugged-up binge, blaming the public and media for everything (rather than his dervish offspring who has stood out to be this stupid example to us all).

Will you be sad? Get ready to answer that question, as it is coming.
The media will have already prepared to place her image next to Billie Holliday and Janis Joplin in all their dramatic eulogies.
