Amy Winehouse Knocks 'Em Back for Nelson

Amy Winehouse Knocks 'Em Back for Nelson
Splash News Online

Never let it be said that Amy Winehouse lacks decorum.

Oh, no, wait, scratch that. Reverse.

The "Rehab" belter, who performed at former South African President and antiapartheid activist Nelson Mandela's massive 90th birthday concert in London's Hyde Park on Friday, apparently warmed up for the set with a distended belly full of liquor.

Prior to sound check, Wine-O was spotted with several bottles of booze.

Amy must have downed that supply pretty quickly, because during sound check she was accompanied on stage by a bottle of vodka.

Later, as she exited a clinic en route to the actual performance, she let one of her nipples out for air. Well, it is summer, after all.

Wooo-hooooo! Next thing you know, Winehouse is sitting on Mandela's lap and serenading him with her whimsical rendition of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes."

Amy doesn't seem to be taking the "stop-partying-or-die" ultimatum her doctors laid on her too seriously. Unless hard liquor cures emphysema.

You might want to hold your own big gala on your next birthday, Amy. Chances are you won't be having too many more of them.

Check out streaming video of the concert here. Who knows, Amy might knock back a few more and retake the stage.

Quotables /
“Amy Winehouse put her nipple on display today in London, and was it sexy?.. No, No.. NO! In fact it looked more than a little bit discolored and scabby. We're not sure exactly what's going on with that, but maybe Ames should choose some better fitting dresses until this lil' issue clears up.”
“Amy Winehouse is out of the hospital and it looks like her stay did some good. For once she doesn't look like warmed over shit in make-up. I'm not saying I'd want to "hit that," but if it were suggested, I wouldn't completely try to bludgeon my own penis. And speaking of male genitalia, scope out this excerpt from the latest Rolling Stone. Writer Claire Hoffman sat outside Amy Winehouse's apartment and found herself invited in by Beehive Typhoid Mary:

"I'm on a strict put-weight-on diet. I love food. I'm just stressed out." She returns from the kitchen with an oozing white-bread-and-banana sandwich, on which she sprinkles potato chips. She hands Nicole her laptop, which is caked in fingerprints and smudges, and asks her to show me the photographs of Winehouse and her husband making out, the two of them mugging for the camera like Mickey and Mallory, passing pills to each other with their tongues. Winehouse gets up for more food. Nicole continues the slide show, and suddenly the screen flashes Winehouse's blurry face, taken from above with a phone in one hand and a gigantic penis in her mouth.

Wow. There's a mental image for the ages. And, now, to answer your burning question "Why? Why would you do that!?", the immortal words of Van Morrison (made famous by Rod Stewart):

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do

Best readers ever. That's you guys. Stay in school.”

“Amy Winehouse visited husband Blake Fielder-Civil in prison and then relaxed afterwards by visiting a shop where she bought some sweets and small bottles of booze. She then went to Hyde Park for rehearsals. The singer has been diagnosed as having early symptoms/stages of the pulmonary disease emphysema to add to her woes.

This is where Amy fooled us all. We thought she was buying the booze to sneak into prison and give Blake before indulging in some conjugal rights (well he needs something to help get busy with that). However, as English prisons don't allow conjugal visits, seems like Amy just wanted to drown her sorrows.

Amy Winehouse with booze... George W Bush with a red button... David Beckham playing soccer in Los Angeles... Mel Gibson still making films... Matthew McConaughey still hasn't had a shower... it's a crazy world.”

“As if the threat of Amy Winehouse showing up high, wig aflame and covered in rodents weren't enough to scare the organizers of Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday concert into shutting down the production, now the event is scheduled to be picketed by demonstrators against Robert Mugabe's rule in Zimbabwe.

The protestors are asking for Mandela to take a stand and include a group of human rights activists as well as refugees who have fled from the African nation. Sudanese rapper Emmanuel Jal is participating in the concert and told The Times in London, "If Nelson went to talk to him, it would make a difference."

On a lighter note, to get everyone's spirits up at the dinner held in honor of Mandela, Oprah showed up in a fetching Old West schoolmarm's ensemble and did a fan dance to entertain all the red carpet arrivals. Also, I love that a Pussycat Doll was at the same dinner. Gee, I wonder if her crotchless leather business suit was at the cleaners...
