Amy Winehouse hasn’t been dead a month and already, we’re painted into a corner, forced to make light of it all. We kinda wanted to be respectful for a little longer but alas, the world works in such a way that we’re now required to mercilessly tear her death a new one.
See, despite the fact she’s barely cold, there’s plans to turn her into a television show already. Imagine that! A touching portrait of a troubled and talented young woman, broken up with commercials for WKD and toilet roll.
Of course, the family are bang into the idea of making some money on all this ‘famous cadaver’ thing.
A family source (aka, someone who once met one of the Winehouse family briefly in a pub years ago) said:
“The feeling is there wouldn’t be an actress under 30 who wouldn’t want to play her”
‘The first job is to get financial backing from co-production companies in the States. Some are showing interest because it’s a sure-fire money-spinner. They know anything Amy-related is going to be a huge success.”
And there are mutterings that Lady Gaga has already been approached to play Amy.
A mole told a tabloid some outrageous fibs:
‘Lady GaGa worshipped Amy and would love nothing more than to transform herself into her idol on the big screen.
‘She’d be spot on performing Amy’s songs and has got the right look and bolshy attitude. GaGa’s management team had been discussing possible film ventures before Amy’s untimely death. But there’s only ever been one role she wants and that’s to play Amy.’
Gaga has said that she went blonde because people used to mistake her for the late singer, so… er… that’s conclusive as anything right?
Either way, this is all a nonsense as there is only one woman who should be playing Amy Winehouse, and that’s Janice from Friends.
They could have her saying OH. MAI. GOWD. as she transcends to heaven.
