Amy Winehouse Banned From Spending Her Own Fortune
Amy Winehouse is a woman in turmoil. Crack-less, Blake-less and now light of £15,000 worth of property, since being the victim of a burglary while on holiday in St. Lucia.
To add insult to injury, according to reports, Amy Winehouse has been barred from spending her own (remaining) cash, unless she has the explicit permission of her father Mitch or her mum Janis.
This has so many echoes of a post-head-shave Britney Spears. The only saving grace is that our beloved Wino is not a mother and is pretty good at remembering her underwear.
One can assume that there is some sort of witchery afoot keeping Amy Winehouse alive. If crack were sweets, she would still have ingested enough of the good stuff to make her quite marvellously unhealthy.
Try it, just try living on chocolate alone and see how unhealthy you are, say, three years later. You’d be lardy and as unhealthy as you had ever been. How then is it that five-foot nothing Wino, who weighs less than her own weave can ingest her body-weight in narcotics and look somewhat healthy?
Her fans seem to be jumping the gun slightly, trumpeting her healthy new looks and saying how utterly fabulous the Back To Black singer appears, thanks to her sunny hols – but since when is a holiday a cure for the cracky blues? Rehab, lock downs, heck even deep-tissue massages can all help get this woman back into good health. But, really, since when did getting your tan on, on the beach, count as drug therapy?
Anyhoo, Since Daddy Wino is in the picture as much as he is, maybe he should hit up Daddy Spears for some advice.
If the below is true, then Wino’s £15million earnings are already under the control of her parents – so it’s not much of a leap to put some form of long-lasting ‘conservatorship’ into place, until she sorts her life out.
According to reports from The Mirror:
A friend said: “Mitch convinced Amy she needs a safety valve for the money for her own good – to stop her doing anything rash or daft. She can be very impetuous and the family wanted to protect her. She cannot make a sudden decision. Her dad was also worried she might be tempted to go back to Blake – and put him in charge. That is now impossible. This would never have happened before, certainly not when she was with Blake. It’s her money and nobody else can touch it. But she can’t do anything stupid.”
Whether or not this will work and save Amy Winehouse from herself remains to be seen.
This woman, after all, was on such a downward spiral that less then 12-months ago that national press outlets admitted they had written her obituary because they assumed the worst about her fate.
Here’s to Amy’s wealth, health and to the hope that she may be put into a more suitable and lengthy rehabilitation programme in the near future.

WHAT RUBBISH!!! No one can stop Amy from spending her own money and NO ONE CAN CONTROL HER. Where do all you IDIOTS come from? with your stupid Stories??? What the hell is wrong with you all. It is sooooo sad what all these young people that make it in the industry have to put up with. PLEASE Get a life
Maybe her family heard that Brit’s old “manager” was on his way down to the Caribbean…
I enjoy reading about Amy Winehouse’s misfortune as much as the next guy but do you have to include a picture with the articles? I’m genuinely worried that I might catch something from the infection-riddled old crone simply by looking at her horrific face. Perhaps you could consider using a picture of a rotting horse instead? It’s pretty close to the mark but still a great deal less punishing to look at.
