Amy Winehouse has extended her stay in St. Lucia, saying she feels as though she has escaped the hell of her junkie life back in Britain.
Winehouse says she hasn’t done any drugs since arriving on the Caribbean island and that meeting her new man, Josh Bowman, 21, has done her a world of good.
Amy told News of the World,
“I’m OFF the drugs for good! I’ve finally escaped from hell. I’m in love again and I don’t need drugs. Look at me, I’m glowing!”
“I love it here and have never felt so happy. In fact I don’t think I’m ever going home. I was supposed to go last week but I thought f*** that, I’m staying! Especially as I met Josh here. He couldn’t be more different from my husband, which is not a bad thing. Blake looks like me, a right mess. But Josh is all handsome and clean and that’s what I love about him. People might think we haven’t got anything in common but I get on like a house on fire with all his family despite them being so posh. When I’m with Josh I don’t need drugs to feel good because he makes me feel so amazing.”
She proudly adds,
“We just had sex. . . can’t you tell?”
Amy goes on to say that she and her husband Blake Fielder-Civil had a terrible sex life amid all the drugs they were doing.
“Blake was rubbish in bed. Do you know what? Almost every time I slept with him it was like I was dead. I don’t know what’s going on with us now and for the time being I’ve just forgotten I’m even married. I’m just here on my own, happy and having a good time with Josh. I’ll deal with Blake when I get back. But our whole marriage was based on doing drugs. So being with someone like Josh is much better for me.”
According to the Daily Mail, Blake has started divorce proceedings against his wife after seeing her in photos with her new love interest.
Amy might be off drugs, but she is boozing it up like mad. Apparently she loves her strawberry daiquiris and is rarely spotted without one on the island.
Other vacationers complain that Amy is stumbling around the classy resort, drunk, loud, and dirty. They say she takes over the piano bar at night, barely able to hold a note, singing Puppy Love over and over.
One resort guest, Linda from Sheffield complained to News of the World,
“I’ve been here two weeks and every day I pray she’s gone home. But then you see her crawling out of her room looking a total mess and think, ‘Here we go again.’”
She continues, “She’s just allowed to run riot. She dresses like a cross between a tramp and a prostitute and I’ve never once seen her wear any shoes for dinner. She’s just out of control. Our peaceful break has been ruined by her. Every night we go to the piano bar and the professional player can’t entertain us because Amy’s taken over. And she can’t even play. She just jabs at odd notes and is usually so drunk she can barely hold a note. If I have to listen to her do Puppy Love again I think I’ll kill her.”
Despite making other guests uncomfortable, Amy is having a ball. She compares herself at home to the “new” Amy, saying sure, she might be getting wasted everyday, but it’s better than being cracked out of her head.
“It’s like I’ve stepped onto a new planet and nothing can harm me here. At home I seem to get in with the wrong people and just get myself in trouble. Yes I’ve been getting pissed here but, compared to the states I get into back in London, this is the best behaved I’ve been in years. That’s why I came here and it’s worked a treat. That’s why I keep extending my stay. Look at me, I’m a different person.”
