Found in: Music, NewsMark Ronson and Amy Winehouse work on Bond theme
Amy Winehouse has teamed up again with Mark Ronson, but this time it's to write and record the theme song for the next James Bond Film, Quantum of Solace. Ronson and Winehouse have retreated to Ronson’s Henley, Oxfordshire home to work on the song. “They have no idea what they’re going to do. In true Amy fashion, they’re going to busk it. But I’m sure it will be brilliant. The new Bond film is supposed to be really dark so Amy will fit the bill perfectly,” The Sun quoted a source as saying. The film, a follow-up to 2006’s Casino... read more

Found in: Music, NewsAmy Winehouse releases
Amy Winehouse’s dark little single “Love is a Losing Game,” now has a video. By all accounts, Winehouse is seriously struggling with some things right now, and the video, all slow-mo and soft-focus, has an eerie, posthumous feel to it. The troubled 24-year old is up for six Grammys (second in nominations only to Kanye West), including Record of the Year and Album of the Year, and seems only beginning to grasp her considerable talents. One can only hope things start looking up for the young artist. Related links: “Love is a Losing Game” video AmyWinehouse.com Amy Winehouse on MySpace... read more

Yes, Amy! For the love of Ronnie Spector, get in the studio as quickly as you can, before any more of this tabloid trash about you can pile up. I don't care what you're smoking, where your visa status stands, or just what the hell you and Pete Doherty are doing together. Just give us some more of that throwback pop songcraft, please. Thankfully, Winehouse's producer and collaborator Mark Ronson has some good news for us on that front. "As soon as I finish up the Daniel Merriweather record I am going back into the studio with Amy Winehouse to... read more

Amy Winehouse has been on some pretty hard times as of late, so the announcement that she will be postponing her forthcoming North American dates is none too surprising. From the official statement: "All ticket holders may obtain refunds at their point of purchase. Amy's European and UK tour dates in October and November remain in place. Plans are being made to reschedule her US tour for early 2008. Until then, Amy has been ordered to rest and is working with medical professionals to address her health."

Found in: Music, NewsAmy Winehouse goes back to bed
As starlets keep dropping like flies and frequenting jails, reports that British song-raven Amy Winehouse recently canceled a string of performances are worrying some fans. Although her management cites “extreme exhaustion,” the rumour (see what we did there?) mill is churning with allegations that Winehouse dipped her hand into the drug jar too many times. Brit publication The Times also cites the 23-year-old being admitted to the hospital on the cusp of receiving three MTV nominations. But her MySpace page still lists gigs over the next few months, so we’re not going to buckle to severe urges to quote “Rehab”... read more

Meet Amy Winehouse’s band. Don’t they seem like nice people? Don’t you wish there were five or six more of them, just for the heck of it? Wouldn’t it be neat if they could sit in for Paul Shaffer and his people for a night or two? And then she could be the one offering witty repartee and theme songs for games about guessing cuts of meat? Of course. But right now, that's only a magical dream – no likelier than the recurring one you have about playing disc golf with Slayer. Until then, check out Amy Winehouse and her... read more
