Despite all her problems – and never has the word “all” carried so much weight – I really do like Amy Winehouse. I can’t even explain why, but I am always rooting for her. Nonetheless, I’m well-aware that Amy’s still got a long way to go in terms of getting her life back on track. More worrisome, she’s apt to follow her crazy whims. Like why not play Scrabble naked with the elderly when the paparazzi are nearby? Why not punch your own bodyguard? Things like that. So it’s worrisome when Amy says she’s nearly ready to start a family.
Amy Winehouse wants to start a family – but not just yet.
The Rehab singer, 25, says she’d love to settle down have kids – but wants to release another album first.
She explains, “I’ll always have music in my life, but I don’t always have to sell it to people. While I love music, I’d really love to have a family and that’s the most important thing to me. That doesn’t mean I’m ready to start one right now because I think I’ve got another album in me.”
Asked what she’d do for a living if she gave up making music, Winehouse said, “I’d love to have a beauty salon. My nan, God rest her sole, pretty much trained up me and my brother Alex to be her beauty therapists when we were young – it was pretty clever of her, actually.
“I must have only been about four years old and my brother was about eight. He’d give her a full pedicure and then I’d have to paint her nails and do her hair.”

It’s like cascading dominos of bad ideas. One just crashes into the other. “Oh, I’ve got an insane drug addiction that I definitely haven’t beaten, my husband is divorcing me, and my label rejected my latest album, but I think I’d like to add babies to the mix!” As crazy as she is, I’ll take Amy Winehouse over Paris Hilton any day. That said, at this point I’d honestly be more comfortable with Paris raising a child. Paris would at least toss the kid to a nanny, whereas Amy would probably toss it in the laundry hamper. I kid, I kid. Amy Winehouse doesn’t have a laundry hamper.
But at least she’s got a good backup plan, career-wise. Now we know why Winehouse hasn’t been focusing on her music much lately. She’s been focusing on her looks. I can just see her in a beauty salon. Drooling, scabs falling off. You know how hairstylists always keep their little black combs in that jar of what looks to be L.A. Style blue hair gel? Amy could just keep them in her hive. Easier to get to.
And who wouldn’t trust their hair, skin, and nails to Winehouse? Sure there was that long bout with impetigo, and the 11 months she went without showering. But hey, that’s still less than a year, so it’s not gross. It’s so sad she’s been wasting all her time singing and getting Grammys when she could have been teaching women how to be beautiful.

I can’t say anything. I’m sitting here with my hair chopped up like nobody’s business. I knew when my hair person was talking about not going to bed, or even home, the night before that it wasn’t going to be good. It’s not. So sad.
I hope it grows fast for you, boom.
Pretty funny, Jaybird. The thought of Amy W. having kids any time soon fills me with horror. She eats nothing but junk! And that’s just for starters…Too bad, because she’s a good-hearted person and I think she’d be a loving mother.
oh dear, boom, I’m sorry to hear that. pick out a new kicky color and have a better professional do it.
You know, I think Amy could have some very good ideas about fashion and hairstyling. I absolute love love love Amy’s style. When she first came out in the rehab video I was gaga for her look. When Me and my man went out on the weekends, I put my hair up as high as i could go with stiff hairspray and plenty of black liner drawn waaayy out and flowers in my hair. And you know what? It was awesome. Especially when the fad now is to flat iron your hair down. And isn’t that the very essence of style? going to extremes?
Um. I. Yeah. No.
I love Amy, too, despite everything. Maybe it’s because back before she got so messed up you could see the incredible heart and soul in her, you could hear it in her voice, in her music. That person still has to be in there, somewhere.
But dear God, Amy, not kids. Please no. Maybe when you are older and cleaned up and have grown up considerably. But not now.
