Ten Things About Amy Winehouse That We Learnt Last Week

1. Amy claimed in an interview last week that she "doesn't have a drink problem" and has "given up drinking".

2. In the same interview, Amy also said that she enjoys regular cups of tea, afternoon walks in the fresh air, and riding a unicycle to church.

3. According to Radio 1, she's "the one with hair like Russell Brand but bigger".

4. Well done to Amy's publicists if that's how far they've got with her.

5. Last week, Amy released 'You Know I'm No Good', which is nowhere near as good as some of the songs on her album but is still CONSIDERABLY better than anything HMV deemed worthy of their 'new release' shelf space.

6. While we're on the subject, how is 'A Moment Like This' a new release?

7. Notice how Amy's "people" put a rap on the radio version of her new single. This is to trick children into not hating her.

8. FYI, record so-called companies, speeded-up chipmunk vocals work better these days, get with the times, etc.

9. Amy's hair is not the only thing about her that is bigger than Russell Brand. See also: eyes, waist size, talent.

10. Last week, Amy "scored" her first number one album (of many to follow), because Gary Barlow ran short of spare change and had to stop buying copies of Beautiful World for FIVE BLOODY MINUTES. This is the best thing we learnt about Amy last week.
