Superstar Couples

It is no secret that Amy Winehouse, the jazz/R&B British shooting star, is addicted to alcohol. So much so that she hits her lovers whenever she’s fallen off the wagon. Before she hooked up again with her now husband Blake Fielder-Civil, she used to have a public show of outrage with her ex, the chef Alex Claire.

The violent scenes aren’t some isolated incidents but have become more of a habit. In her November 2006 interview with the Times, she admitted that the influence of alcohol makes her mad.

“I have a really good time some nights, but then I push it over the edge and ruin my boyfriend’s night. I’m an ugly dickhead drunk, I really am.”

And

“Oh no, never, I’m not a sick drunk. I’m a violent drunk.”

Last week The Sun reported that Amy and Blake had a hitting/shouting fit in front of the public. This happened after the singer’s performance at the MTV Movie Awards in Hollywood on June 3. The couple had shared a turbulent affair before the singer accepted Blake’s marriage proposal.

One witness said the couple fought at an unnamed Los Angeles hotel.

“As soon as they walked into the lobby they started screaming at each other. Amy was shouting, ‘You always f***ing do this! Don’t f***ing touch me! F**k you!’
She was in tears but Blake tried to walk away. It wound her up so much she pushed him into a hedge.”

Though it was an ugly scene, the two made up after spending a few minutes apart. They were even “seen crying into each other’s arms.” She confessed that she is terrible after some drink.

“I’m either a really good drunk or I’m an out-an-out s**t, horrible, violent, abusive, emotional drunk. I’ll beat up Blake when I’m drunk. I don’t think I’ve ever bruised him, but I do have my way. If he says one thing I don’t like then I’ll hit him.”

Last month Amy married Blake in a very quiet ceremony. Not only the press was shunned at the event but also their families. Until now Amy’s father is still upset that the two eloped.

The gravel-voiced singer said the the angry episodes don’t come from nowhere. Miss Winehouse has some personal issues. She’s been diagnosed manic depressive and is refusing to take medication. Mainly due to her immense popularity nowadays. Her own music label urged her to go rehab. In one of her songs, the single “The Rehab,” was specifically written for the higher-ups.

“I’m not a fighter, but if I am backed up against the wall I’ll kick the s**t out of anyone. I don’t think your ability to fight has anything to do with how big you are. It’s to do with how much anger is in you.”

Last October, she admitted that she was suffering from eating disorders and was obsessed with hitting the gyms. “A little bit of anorexia, a little bit of bulimia. I’m not totally okay now but I don’t think any woman is,” Amy said.
