Fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier was intending to honor the late Amy Winehouse by designing his collection around her iconic style, but instead received poor reviews from her family and critics, too.

“The family was upset to see those pictures,” Mitch Winehouse told reporters of seeing the photos of the show.“We’re still grieving for her loss, and we’ve had a difficult week with the six-month anniversary of Amy’s death.

“It portrays a view of Amy when she was not at her best, and glamorizes some of the more upsetting times in her life,” he said.

Yet, after the show on Wednesday, Gaultier stood by his decision to send the look-a-likes down the runway. “She was an icon of fashion and truly, the sense of how she mixed the clothes — it was great. It is very joyous.”

I don’t see anything wrong with the look-a-likes, but I can see where it would upset the family.

It’s been determined that singer Amy Winehouse‘s cause of death was alcohol poisoning.

Amy Winehouse’s Toxicology Report: No Illegal Drugs Found

British coroner Suzanne Greenaway announced Wednesday that Winehouse’s death was the ”unintended consequence” of drinking too much alcohol.

The coroner said that Winehouse was five times over the legal limit. She ruled ”death by misadventure,” and said that two large bottles and one small bottle of vodka were found in the bedroom the singer’s London home.

Amy Winehouse Autopsy Results Inconclusive

After learning the cause of death was “alcohol toxicity,” her family released a statement:

“It is some relief to finally find out what happened to Amy. We understand there was alcohol in her system when she passed away; it is likely a build up of alcohol in her system over a number of days. The court heard that Amy was battling hard to conquer her problems with alcohol and it is a source of great pain to us that she could not win in time.”

RIP, Amy.

Amy Winehouse knew she was in trouble, or at least that is what Tony Bennett says. He worked with Amy shortly before her premature death and says that she was not well. While at the time they did the duet, he says that he had no idea how badly she was doing. But looking back, he does see the signs. Even though he will not say what happened between the duo, he did say this.

She knew that she was in a lot of trouble that she wasn’t going to live. It wasn’t drugs, it was alcohol ‘til the end, She was the only singer that really sang what I call the right way
It is so sad that she wasted her talent, but I do not know why nobody around her helped her more. She was clearly not okay. I do think she needlessly died, much like Michael Jackson did. It is a shame that they did not have people around them who cared more. The official cause of death is supposed to come out this month, but I do believe that her father has a point.

Amy Winehouse Clean of Illegal Drugs At Time of Death

Do you think she died a senseless death? I do and in a way, I have to blame those around her. However, we can say at least she no longer has to deal with those issues anymore.

Amy Winehouse would be celebrating her 28th birthday today!

In “Body and Soul” (watch video below), Amy looked incredibly put together – she kind of looked healthy and in control of the situation. The proceeds from the single’s sale will be donated to the Amy Winehouse Foundation.

The song is just beautiful and jazzy. Tony and Amy make the perfect duo. Hopefully more of Amy Winehouse’s work will be released in the future.

Tony said Amy was “someone who knows how to intuitively improvise and make it believable and sing with humanity and soul and honesty, no compromising. … Amy had that gift. She was the only one of all of the contemporary artists that I’ve met through the years. … She’s the only one that was able to do it.”

Katy Perry’s hubby Russell Brand was invited by MTV to talk about the late Amy Winehouse before introducing a special tribute performance of “Valerie” by Bruno Mars at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) held at the Nokia Theatre LA Live in Los Angeles, California on Sunday (August 28) – watch video below.

Why Russell? Probably because he is British!?! And why didn’t they ask Adele to sing a couple of Amy’s songs? It would have been the perfect fit. Adele and Amy were nothing alike, but Adele’s voice combined with Amy’s dark lyrics would have been totally magical. Of course, Bruno Mars did a fantastic job.

Russell said Amy was an “ordinary girl with extraordinary hair”, describing her voice as the sound “a roar from the guts of humanity.” Adding, “She was suffering from alcoholism and drug addiction. A lot of people just get the disease, not many people get the incredible talent Amy was blessed with.”

Tony Bennett, who recently worked with Amy, said: “Of all the young artists I’ve ever met in the last 20 years, she was a true jazz artist in the tradition of Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday.” R.I.P. Amy Winehouse.

The talented Amy Winehouse tragically passed away at the young age of 27 late last month. The “Rehab” singer was found dead in her London apartment, and a lot has been speculated about the cause of death.

The toxicology report was finally released – it was determined there were no illegal drugs in the singer’s system at the time of her death, but Amy had been drinking. The role of the alcohol in her death is remains undetermined. The potential use of prescription drugs is not even mentioned.

Amy Winehouse Autopsy Results Inconclusive

Amy’s family released the following statement:

“Toxicology results returned to the Winehouse family by authorities have confirmed that there were no illegal substances in Amy’s system at the time of her death.”

“Results indicate that alcohol was present but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in her death.”

“The family would like to thank the police and coroner for their continuing thorough investigations and for keeping them informed throughout the process. They await the outcome of the inquest in October.”

After all that has been said and written about Amy’s drug and alcohol abuse and the tragic events, Amy’s family probably just wants to be able to mourn the loss of their loved one in peace, which was not possible with all the speculation on the circumstances of her death.

R.I.P. Amy Winehouse.

Amy Winehouse has not been dead for even a month and her home was already robbed. Her father Mitch Winehouse reported that her home was robbed and personal items were stolen. Her father reported that 2 lyric books were stolen, but rumors have stated that other items were stolen as well.

Amy Winehouse’s Cause of Death Unknown

Some U.K. outlets are saying that the stolen music is what would have been on her third album, along with her guitars. However, no one on the Winehouse’s side have stated what was all stolen. The real kicker here is that only 20 people have been allowed in Amy’s former home. Thus they believe it is someone that the family knows who took Amy’s belongings.

Amy Winehouse’s Family Opens Up

I have a feeling that some how a lot of dupes will be put on eBay now, while the real will likely be sold else where. It is a shame to see that Amy’s home was wrecked by people looking for a fast buck. Do you think they will ever find out who stole from the Winehouses?

Amy Winehouse‘s death came as a shock to many, but not to her parents. Both have stated before that they knew she slowly killing herself. But they have now released a statement or at least her mother has. Here is what they had to say about her death.

Our family has been left bereft by the loss of Amy, a wonderful daughter, sister, niece, She leaves a gaping hole in our lives. We are coming together to remember her and we would appreciate some privacy and space at this terrible time

Her mother also said that she saw her daughter 24 hours before her death and that she did not look well. In fact, according to her mother she thought that Amy did not have much longer to live. But she did not think her death would come so quickly. Her father was flying to NYC and found out the news after he landed, which caused him to fly back home. Many are saying she likely died from drugs, but no official cause has been stated yet. However, we all can agree the sad news will likely take her family a very long time to heal over.

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London apartment on Saturday, according to the UK Press Association. The Grammy Award winner was only 27.

Winehouse, who was best known for her hit single “Rehab,” had a history battling drugs and alcohol, which seemed never-ending. She recently left a British rehabilitation program that a representative said “was intended to prepare her for scheduled European concerts.” She ended up canceling the tour after a performance in Belgrade, Serbia, where she barely made it through some of her songs while staggering across the stage.

Her troubles also spread to her two-year marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil. The two were in the public eye for most of their marriage, which appeared to consist of drugs, alcohol and arrests. The couple divorced in 2009.

The singer’s parents went public with their efforts to help their struggling daughter in 2009, telling the London Telegraph that Winehouse was on the road to recovery:

“A gradual recovery, which is good,” Winehouse’s father Mitch told the Telegraph. “With slight backward steps – not drug backward steps, more drink backward steps if you follow my drift. I think that will be the pattern of recovery.”

This is all very sad. Rest in peace, Amy. And our well-wishes to your family.
