Crack Addicts And Jailbirds Needed For Criminal American Idol

Ryan Tate · 05/23/08 06:34AM

Also-ran music channel Fuse is looking for some aspiring musicians, for a reality show, but it definitely isn't interested in your squeaky-clean, David Archuleta-from-American Idol types. According to a flyer (left) spotted last night in SoHo by an email tipster, Fuse wants someone who is interested in being the next — WINK WINK — Amy Winehouse. A "wild party girl." Someone who can handle being filmed smoking something mysterious (ahem) and then being questioned by police in connection with said film. Or, alternatively, the channel is open to landing a more serious type who models herself after a certain female rapper who was incarcerated for a year in connection with a shooting involving two associates. Whatever, either way is fine, as long as you are female. But, either way, hurry! Interviews began yesterday. Email and phone contacts are after the jump for those who "live the rock & roll lifestyle:"

Newest Disaster Also Not Miley Cyrus' Fault

Ryan Tate · 05/16/08 05:10AM
  • An LA band called Lustra called out Miley Cyrus by name for a song that sounds way, way too much like one of their songs. But it turns out Cyrus doesn't write any of her own songs, so now the band kind of looks like a bunch of assholes. [P6]

Sigh

English singer Amy Winehouse, who holds many secrets in her beehive, has been arrested for the second time in two weeks. The first time it was for headbutting some poor lady bloke who was trying to get her a cab, but this time it's for good old fashioned druggery. To her credit, she showed up to the police station of her own volition ("by appointment"), where she was questioned about a video, uncovered filmed in January, in which she can be seen smoking crack cocaine.

Naomi Campbell Pretends To Be A Good Person

Ryan Tate · 05/05/08 05:20AM
  • Instead of viciously beating people with her cellphone, supermodel Naomi Campbell tried bringing tea and coffee to assistants on the TV show Ugly Betty. Ten bucks says the coffee and tea had, in turn, been bought by Campbell's own assistant, and that Campbell hasn't been into a Starbucks since 1998. I hope someone demanded her drink be brought back with nonfat milk at exactly 195 degrees. [News Of The World]

Amy Winehouse's New Man To Solve All Her Problems

Ryan Tate · 04/28/08 05:44AM
  • Amy Winehouse went on a rampage of terror last week, headbutting and punching people, getting high in the street and stiffing her cabbie. But the addict/singer also made out with some random guy, and maybe that's why she now has a new man named Alex Haynes, who works for Winehouse's manager, and doesn't look nearly fierce enough to handle his insane new girlfriend. Winehouse's mom thinks he's great because Haynes is always "popping out to buy cigarettes, papers, anything she wanted." Other people point out that buying whatever Winehouse wants is maybe not in the singer's best interest.

Paris Hilton Banned For Acting Like Paris Hilton

Ryan Tate · 04/23/08 08:16AM
  • Paris Hilton was banned from at least one Hyatt, in Moscow, for scribbling her name on the wall in black marker. But it was for a very important picture of Paris looking hot (at left, via the Sun), so it was totally worth the $9,000 fine. [Sun]

Amy Winehouse Shows Us Why Family Time Is A Whole Lot More Fun While Drunk

Molly Friedman · 04/15/08 03:00PM

Let's play word association for a moment. When you think of Amy Winehouse, what other fun images come to mind? Needles, empty bottles of gin, trash-strewn apartments, maybe? If you're in a particularly imaginative mood, perhaps stashes of white powder hidden in sweaters? Us too. But among the drug paraphernalia and gravity-defying hairdos we normally associate with the troubled songstress, cute chubby-cheeked babies do not spring into our heads. Putting Amy in the same room as an infant doesn't seem like the wisest of moves, but the Brits like to live dangerously. And as this picture shows, they just don't see any harm in letting the music industry's most notorious addict down shots while singing drunken lullabies to their newborns.

Amy Winehouse—Now With Extra Crazy

ian spiegelman · 04/12/08 02:05PM

Basket-O-problems Amy Winehouse has a brand new and, probably fun-to-watch, addiction. When not delivering valuables to her jailed husband to trade for drugs, the druggy singer irons things. Every thing. "The troubled star, 24, has been ironing everything she can get her hands on-even towels, sheets and scarves. A source said: 'She has become absolutely obsessed with ironing things... She's a very obsessive person and has always been addicted to something. We've had cannabis, cocaine, crack, heroin and her husband Blake Fielder-Civil. All the others have been rather more destructive, apart from knitting, which she has also had an on/off love affair with. But ironing is definitely her new favorite.'" [Showbiz Spy]

Comeback Britney Is Sorry She Fired You That One Time

Ryan Tate · 04/01/08 04:33AM
  • Britney Spears dug deep into her rolodex and found the last manager she had who was not totally insane. Turns out it was the one who discovered the singer. And who she told off while going crazy. Woops. [OK!] (Photo: X17)

Heath Ledger's Australian Love Child

  • Heath Ledger may have a love child in Australia, the late actor's uncle said, which would mean he has two children. Isn't that straight out of Lost? I mean, except for the part about Heath fathering the child while 17 and still in grammar school with a woman eight years older who already had a boyfriend. [Daily Telegraph via HollyScoop]

Scientology's Glamorous New Friends

Ryan Tate · 03/28/08 04:17AM
  • Game over, Scientology wins, they have Pete Doherty and Sumner Redstone. Viacom chairman Redstone hasn't actually converted but did have lunch with Scientology bigshot Tom Cruise, probably canceling in his area a personal and business rift with the actor and paving the way for more sweet Mission Impossible money. Doherty has been reading up on the religion and shacking up with a Scientologist DJ who probably hasn't yet mentioned the religion's stance on psychoactive drugs.

Tea-Swilling Musician Is Not Into Drugs

Hamilton Nolan · 03/24/08 02:38PM

Moby, the purposely bald and nerdy musician frequently seen wandering the Lower East Side in search of commercials to score, is warning his brethren in the music industry about the dangers of drugs. "I look at Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse, I wonder what they're going to be capable of when they're 30, in terms of cognitive and emotional abilities. Drugs burn you out," says the diminutive drum programmer, who knows too much about teabags. "You feel bulletproof if you're selling records and making money and everyone wants to sleep with you, but then things start to go wrong." In other news, somebody once wanted to sleep with Moby.
