by Jason Gregory on October 22nd, 2009Share
Amy Winehouse’s recent £35,000 boob job has received a positive response – from her own dad.
Mitch Winehouse was left red-faced after he inadvertently praised his daughter’s breasts during an appearance on This Morning on Wednesday.
"Her boobs are great!" he said. "I shouldn’t have said that, should I?"
Realising he had made a mistake, Mitch went on to pay tribute to the singer’s successful battle against drug addiction.
"She looks absolutely fantastic, she’s doing great,” he said.
“To look back to how she was last year, we’re on a different planet, a different space, a different time, and a different person – we all are. She’s fantastic.”
Earlier this week Amy’s father revealed she had been drug-free for a year as he spoke to MPs about the rehabilitation services available to heroin addicts.

Chris Brown ‘Regrets’ Rihanna Attack, Reveals Will Smith Helped Him
by Jason Gregory on October 22nd, 2009Share
Chris Brown has revealed he spends every second regretting his violent attack on former girlfriend Rihanna.
The US R&B star pleaded guilty in June to assaulting the singer and was given five years’ probation.
In an interview on US radio station Hot 97, Brown again expressed his sadness over the incident in February.
He said: “People make mistakes all the time. I’m learning from my mistakes everyday and I regret it every second."
The singer, who is currently preparing to launch his comeback with a new album, also revealed that Will Smith had offered him advice after the attack.
"As a young black man myself, I need older black male role models to step in and kind of mould me – not people bashing me, ’cause that’s not how you learn from mistakes," he said.
Brown refused to speak in detail about the incident in February, which reportedly left Rihanna with bruising to her face.
Meanwhile, Rihanna revealed this week that she plans to release a new album, entitled ‘Rated R’, in November.
Brown will also embark on a US tour in November, with a portion of ticket sales going to a domestic-violence intervention organisation.

Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine, has been granted full custody of the singer’s three children.
The 79-year-old has been taking care of Prince Michael, 12, Paris Katherine, 11, and seven-year-old Paris Michael II – also known as Blanket – since her son’s death on June 25.
A Los Angeles judge also granted Katherine a monthly allowance from her son’s estate, subject to a six-month review.
The singer’s three children will also receive a monthly allowance, Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff ruled.
Jackson had granted his mother full guardianship of his three children in his 2002 will.
Meanwhile, the singer’s ex wife and mother of his two eldest children, Debbie Rowe, has been granted visitation rights and will also continue to receive spousal support payments.
Rowe, who divorced from the star in 1999, dropped a previous attempt gain custody in 2006 after reaching a private settlement.
Until today’s ruling, there had been confusion over whether she would attempt to gain full custody of her children.

Janet Jackson Pays Tribute To Michael Jackson At BET Awards
by Jason Gregory on June 29th, 2009Share
The BET Awards were dominated by Michael Jackson last night as stars, including his sister Janet, paid tribute to the musician.
The awards ceremony in Los Angeles were transformed at short notice to pay homage to Jackson following his death last Thursday.
The star’s father, Joseph, joined the likes of Kanye West and Beyonce at the event, but it was Janet Jackson who appeared on stage to speak about her brother.
“My entire family wanted to be here tonight, but it was just too painful, and they elected me to speak to all of you,” she told the crowd.
“To you, Michael is an icon. To us, Michael is family, and he will forever live in all of our hearts.
“On behalf of my family and myself, thank you for all of your love, and thank you for all of your support. We miss him so much. Thank you so much.”
The timing of the ceremony meant the BET awards, which had yet to honour Jackson during his life, was the first Hollywood event to pay tribute to him in his death.
Jackson tributes
Host Jamie Foxx performed three times at the event, including a closer cover of ‘I’ll Be There’ alongside R&B star Ne-Yo.
“No need to be sad. We want to celebrate this black man … We gonna go through all of Michael Jackson,” he said.
Ciara, Lil Wayne and Jay-Z, who debuted new song ‘Death of Auto-Tune’, also performed live.
Lil’ Wayne was also among the winners at the BET Awards and was one of many artists who honoured Jackson in their acceptance speech.
‘Concerns’
Jackson died following a suspected cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles.
Before the ceremony, Jackson’s father raised questioned about his death, telling reporters that he had “a lot of concerns”.
The Jackson family has called for a second and independent autopsy into the singer’s death after the first ruled out foul play or external trauma.
Focus shifted to Jackson’s private life – and the extent of his alleged addiction to painkillers – within hours of his death.
