No high horse here Omah. Just stating facts. I like you Omah - but you've done a pretty good job of killing this thread just about. I leave you to your endless pasting of every possible article written.

Tributes to the late Amy Winehouse have now been cleared from outside her north London home but Camden Council have decided to leave the road signs covered in fans’ messages up for the time being.

The area surrounding Amy’s £2.5million flat quickly turned into a shine in the days following the 27-year old’s tragic death.

Grieving fans poured into the area leaving floral tributes, messages, photographs, candles and even - perhaps as a fitting tribute to the star who battled alcohol and drugs during her career - empty bottles of wine and beer cans.

Road signs in the square were also covered with scrawled messages from her supporters wanting to pay their last respects to the Rehab singer.

Although street cleaners arrived this morning to remove virtually every trace of tributes to Amy, Camden Council has decided to leave the road signs covered in writing as they are - but they have warned the messages will be removed in time when it comes to cleaning the square.

A spokesman told metro.co.uk: 'Officers have inspected Camden Square and agreed that the signage is still readable. As there have been no official complaints from residents on this matter, the signs will remain for the short term during this sensitive time.

‘When it is decided that they will be cleaned, this will take place as part of routine sign maintenance in the borough, with costs being covered by the standard budget for this service.'

As well as explaining that cards and other items would be passed on to Amy's family, it read: 'With the approval of the Winehouse family and her management company, from 2 August 2011, flowers and tributes in and around Camden Square will be removed by Camden Council.'

As removal vans turned up to Camden Square this morning, flowers that were still alive were taken to distribute around the care homes of Camden, while the dead bouquets are to be composted at Waterlow Park. Any remaining bottles were recycled.

Good for Camden .....

CCTV footage around Amy Winehouse’s home is being analysed for her movements the night before her death.

Detectives want to know whether she left her house in her final hours.

It comes as they quizzed Tony Azzopardi yesterday after he claimed the singer begged him to help her buy crack and heroin the night before she died.

A source said: “There are enough cameras in the area to get a picture of her movements. It’s a painstaking operation which involves going through tens of hours of footage.”

Police spoke to Azzopardi, 56, at Holborn station at 12.30pm yesterday, where he was questioned for 30 minutes about 27-year-old Amy’s death. He is due to meet detectives again today for another interview. Scotland Yard said there had been no arrests linked to Amy’s death.

There's no escape from the bliddy CCTV .....

Amy Winehouse's family, including her boyfriend Reg Traviss, are reportedly planning a 10-day holiday to mourn the singer's death - as well as celebrate her life.

Reg will join Amy's father Mitch, stepmother Jane, and brother Alex in the journey, which they hope will help them come to terms with her untimely and tragic death.

It will also give them a break from the North London borough Camden, where fans have erected a massive memorial outside the star's home.

A source told The Sun: 'The family feel they want to grieve properly out of the limelight. Being in Camden constantly is proving too painful for them – they need time to themselves.'

But Amy's family also plan to enjoy the break and hope to make the vacation a 'celebration' of the her life.

The insider added: 'They will celebrate Amy's life and share their most treasured stories of her.'

Perhaps St Lucia would be a fitting place to go. The locals took really took to the star when she stayed on the Caribbean island for a few months in 2009.

Saint Lucia's minister of tourism and civil aviation senator Allen Chastanet even issued a statement expressing his deep sadness at her death. He said: 'We have lost a good friend and the world has lost a great talent.'

Recalling the singer's generosity towards local residents, minister Chastanet said: 'We were fortunate to see another side of Amy, and will be forever grateful for the acts of kindness and compassion she extended to less fortunate Saint Lucians during her visits with us.

'Saint Lucians join me in extending our condolences to Amy's family, friends and fans during this difficult period.'

Another side of Amy ?

Not towards other guests :

WASTED AMY WINEHOUSE is reduced to crawling up to holidaymakers and grabbing their drinks - after fed-up resort staff refused to serve her. The sneaky singer also BEGS guests to order booze for her at the all-inclusive Caribbean resort.

Each day seems to start with good intentions as she limbers up with yoga-style stretches before swinging into action on exercise rings.But by lunchtime bikini-clad Amy is relaxing with a drink on the beach or even openly smoking joints by the pool.

Come nightfall and she is hitting the bottle with pals - despite the booze ban agreed by her management and staff. A source at the £200-a-night resort said: "We keep catching her crawling past bars, or hiding behind chairs. She grabs guests' drinks and runs off, like a squirrel with a nut."

The Rehab star also baffles guests with her mood swings. One said: "One minute she is very pleasant, saying, 'All right darlin' and chatting to people and having photos taken. The next she is throwing things and swearing her head off. During a fight with a friend Amy tore off long acrylic nails she had fitted. She came up with her fingers bleeding and asked for a cotton bud."

Amy, 25, was said to drape herself over male guests and staff - despite repeatedly insisting she still loves jailbird hubby BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL, 26. Workers even claimed to have found her in a late-night clinch on steps with a man believed to be clean-cut British holidaymaker JOSH BOWMAN, 21, who has since left.

Amy's management have now hired a 6ft 6ins minder to keep her in line - but to little effect. She was spotted creeping up behind one woman, asking for a cigarette and then sprinting away with her cocktail.

Another guest said: "She's like a child craving attention. It's embarrassing. She comes in for dinner barefoot and in her bikini, even though the dress code is smart casual. Then she will go and sit on her balcony topless playing the guitar when everyone is trying to sleep."

But Amy - who has extended her two-week stay for another TWO MONTHS - was overheard on her mobile reassuring her father Mitch, 57: "I've been eating well and I feel great. I've only had a few drinks, Dad - honest."

Sounds like the "same" side of Amy to me .....

Anyway, maybe the family will go somewhere else .....

It emerged yesterday that Winehouse fans have stolen four street signs that were intended to be gifts for the dead star’s bereaved parents.

Hundreds of tributes had been scrawled on the Camden Square posts by well-wishers. The local council intended to replace them and give the old ones to Mitch and her mother Janis.

But before they had a chance the thieves removed them from the square.

A fifth sign was saved from being stolen by an alert security guard watching the house.

Not entirely unexpected .....

I'm pissed off with hearing about Amy Winehouse. When are people going to get it through their thick heads? She did to herself. Its something her deluded fans can't grasp.

AMY Winehouse's home is to become the HQ of her rehab charity.

The tragic singer's loved ones believe it "makes sense" for the £2.5million property in Camden, North London, to be the focal point of the new Amy Winehouse Foundation.

It will be boosted by profits from a new single Amy, 27, made with music legend Tony Bennett.

The foundation will boost a wide range of "causes close to her heart", the singer's dad Mitch has revealed.

He said: "It could include help for children in trouble, kids suffering health problems, children's hospices and more.

"We want to make a positive difference."

The foundation will be run from Amy's home where she was found dead a fortnight ago.

Mitch, Amy's record label Universal and her management team all agree it is the perfect place.

Though the charity will run separately from ex-cabbie Mitch's campaign to help young drug addicts, it is also expected to be involved in rehab projects.

The Winehouse family did discuss selling the ten-room, three-storey property.

But a source close to them said: "They think it's too precious to give up, hence the new HQ idea.

"They don't want to rent it out and if they sold it they think it could attract the wrong kind of buyer as it was where Amy passed away. They may sell one day but that would be some way off."

I have no doubt that someone will be making big bucks out of this enterprise .....

Echoes of Goody's trustees :

"It's what she would have wanted"

LADY GaGa is in secret talks to play Amy Winehouse in a film about the singer’s tragic life.

Hollywood movie moguls want to capitalise on the global outpouring of grief following her death on July 23. LA producers think outrageous pop phenomenon GaGa would be perfect in the starring role.

A Hollywood insider said: “Lady GaGa worshipped Amy and would love nothing more than to transform herself into her idol on the big screen. She’d be spot on performing Amy’s songs and has got the right look and bolshy attitude. GaGa’s been itching to make the transition from music into movies and sees this as the ideal role to launch her film career.”

It has been reported that after completing her nearly two-year long Monster Ball world tour, the Poker Face singer, 25, was inundated with film scripts. However, she has been waiting for the perfect part. Our insider said: “GaGa’s management team had been discussing possible film ventures before Amy’s untimely death. But there’s only ever been one role she wants and that’s to play Amy.”

Money talks .....

[MTVN]

Yeah, considering Omah doesn't even like Winehouse and has spend this whole thread trying to disprove anyone who claimed she was a talented musician, I don't know why he's still feeling some kind of obligation to post every article under the sun about her 2 weeks after her death

[Ammi]

Could it be closed now and fans post in the tribute thread?

Deluded fans? I think you'll find that we don't really care too much about who is responsible at this point.

Why do you even care about her doing it to herself? So you can say she deserved it?

And try avoiding her two threads if you're really sick of her. Not difficult. Posting a bored smiley on her tribute thread was pretty low and unnecessary.

Thread closed as it only seems to be causing arguments.
