Has Amy Winehouse’s scabby skin miraculously cleared up?!?
Nah! A cleaned up waxwork of the soulstress was unveiled today by her parents at Madame Tussauds in London.
The petite figure towers at almost 6ft tall in killer heels and sporting a huge beehive.
The model of the Grammy Award-winning singer wore the same outfit that her real-life inspiration wore to the Brits - a thigh-skimming mini dress from Preen teamed with black high heels and huge red hooped earrings.

Amy Winehouse’s hubby
Blake Fielder-Civil has been sentenced to 27 months in jail after admitting that he beat up a pub manager in a barroom fight in 2006.
The 26-year-old - who has been in jail since his arrest last November - also admitted he offered the landlord of Macbeth’s pub in London $400 000 to stay quiet.
The judge told Blake he had behaved in a “gratuitous, cowardly and disgraceful” way.
Yeah…we don’t care either.

No wild on stage antics. No between-set boozing. Amy Winehouse thrilled nearly 80 000 thousand Irish fans today as she put on a classic performance at the Oxegen festival near Dublin.
As you may recall, the beehived soulstress elbowed a fan at Glastonbury following her show last month.
Her moody hour-long set included fan faves Valerie and Rehab.
Said one fan: “She was brilliant, great atmosphere, she’s a real star.”

Looking pretty plastered in pink, Amy Winehouse performed at her own club night in North London on Thursday.
The night, named Snakehips At The Monarch, was scheduled for Thursday because it was supposed to be the same day her husband Blake Fielder-Civil wa sentenced in court.
With drinks in hand, Wino played a selection of songs that have influenced her music at the Camden Monarch pub.
In honour of her man behind bars, Amy donned a hair in in the shape of a heart with Blake’s name emblazoned on top. So much for those break-up rumours!
As for Blakey’s sentencing? It was postposed until July 21. He faces a maximum of 5 years inside for GBH, while perverting the course of justice carries a maximum life sentence – although that is unlikely to be imposed.

Amy Winehouse was spotted leaving her Camden home today en route to the Stapleford Centre in South West London. Before hopping inside her awaiting ride, Wino lit up a smoke and offered photogs a few choice four-letter words.
Meanwhile, it appears that Amy picks up a new addition for every one she kicks. After ALLEGEDLY quitting her affinity for crack cocaine, friends of the soulstress say she’s picked up a new vice — tanning!
She’s reportedly already had a sunbed installed in her North London home earlier this year, and spends more than an hour a day absorbing its rays in a desperate attempt to gain some colour.
A worried friend of the pasty singer tells The Sun, “Amy can’t do anything by halves. Recently she has been going for it on the sunbed, but she won’t be told. She bought it to get rid of scabs that started appearing on her skin. Over the years Amy has been addicted to alcohol, all sorts of drugs, men and even knitting. This is another addiction that puts her health in danger. Why can’t she take up squash or something?”
Just when you thought Amy’s life couldn’t get any more bizarre….it just did.

It was another troubled night for troubled soulstress Amy Winehouse.
After an evening of boozing at the Proud Camden Gallery & Bar last night, the Rehab singer and member headed home only to be approached by a camera-toting fan. But rather than graciously pose for a photo, Wino swung her fist towards him and proceeded to beat him as the singer was spending some quality bar-hopping time with her 12-year-old god-daughter.
This is the second time in a week Amy has lashed out at her continual following. Last week during her set at Glastonbury the star launched an attack on 25-year-old festival-goer after an erratic performance.
After teaching her devotee a good lesson, a slowly sobering up Amy then changed outfits and headed back to Proud once again to get reloaded.
Once pleasantly plastered, Winehoues took the party on over to Monarc bar where she boozed up for yet another hour.
On her way home, Amy grabbed some much-needed food greasy takeout. But it wasn’t long before she was spotted holding her stomach after complaining about a belly ache.
The drunken and nauseous singer quickly sought comfort by holding the hand of a mystery man.
So much for her Blakey!

Amy Winehouse chugged from a glass of red wine and at first looked like she was going to crash and burn as she appeared in front of a large audience at the Rock In Rio music festival south east of Madrid today.
But as the crowd of 40 000 cheered, the British soul diva kicked off her stilettos in favour of white moccasins, donned a white electric guitar and tore into a rousing rendition of some of her hit songs, including Rehab.
The were no signs of controversy or ill health as Wino delivered a strong vocal performance accompanied by her octet plus two male backing vocalists.
But no luck for an encore — she was seen leaving the outdoor concert venue by helicopter.

Amy Winehouse was seen leaving her London home today in her trademark denim hot pants and a copy of D.H. Lawrence’s The Virgin And The Gipsy.
The troubled singer has, according to sources, confessed to taking drugs while recently in rehab.
Amy’s record label has now insisted she is under 24-hour watch to help her get her life back on track.
Will it work….this time?
Only time will tell!

Despite legal battles, a recent stint in the hospital and on-going health problems,
Amy Winehouse managed to arrive in one piece for her much anticipated appearance in Hyde Park for
Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday bash.
Earlier today, the British soulstress was spotted struggling through soundcheck, but later failed to turn up for a photocall with the former South African leader and the rest of the artists on the bill for his special concert.
So, where was she? Visiting husband Blake Fielder-Civil in Pentonville Prison, where he is awaiting sentence for a slew of charges.
Meanwhile, the show’s finale is expected to be feature Queen, Wino and Jerry Dammers (of British ska legends the Specials) performing Free Nelson Mandela, a Dammers-penned song from 1984 that was quickly adopted as an anti-apartheid anthem at the time.
Stay tuned for more!
