Amy Winehouse's Dad Continues To Vie For "Father Of The Year" Status

Mitch Winehouse at the unveiling of his daughter's wax statue at Madame Tussaud's in London yesterday: "We're going to take this one home with us and take the real one back.

And yet that's what she did over the weekend, when she played a show in Burnaby, B.C., that celebrated the opening of a new Best Buy. Luckily, one of the attendees has a blog, and she helpfully provided the blow-by-blow: More »

Rachelle "Top 8" Spector celebrates her husband's mistrial by humping his leg for cameras hovering above. Kind of tragic that she can't post this to her MySpace video blog, isn't it? [Phil Spector Murder Trial Blog]

Pimp daddy Joe Simpson on the bouncers who got into a scuffle with him, Pete Wentz, and daughter Ashlee on Sunday night in Las Vegas: "[They're] just mad they make $12 an hour." On the bright side, we now have a definitive leader in the "first against the wall when the inevitably bloody class war comes" race. (Donald Trump must be so relieved.) [NYDN]
