In an attempt to cheer herself up, a solo and glum looking Amy Winehouse was snapped shopping for earrings at Selfridges department store in London today (September 10).

Now that she’s a single woman, it appears that the Rehab singer has turned to an unlikely character for support as she gets her life back on track — David Gest!

Wino met Liza Minelli’s estranged ex through their mutual friend Matt Willis, and when Amy returned from her lengthy break in St Lucia David got in touch.

A source says David heard Amy’s ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil “had been spouting off about her” so he “invited her on a night out so that she wouldn’t stay at home alone feeling depressed.”
