UPDATED: Soul scandal

Amy Winehouse

has reportedly developed a new way of fuelling her legendary drug habit - mixing cocaine with candy floss.

Tabloid reports are flooding in claiming Wino has invented the bizarre concoction; leaving us to ponder over the obvious question: can Wino's wacky world get any crazier?

The candy woman can...

According to British tabloid the

News of the World

, Wino has installed a top-of-the-range candy floss machine in her North London home, into which she sprinkles wraps of cocaine to conjure up the sweet treat.

A snitch tells the newspaper that Wino was spurred on by Babyshambles' lead guitarist Mick Whitnall, after she bought the candy making machine.

Coke 'n candy galore

The source said: "It was Mick's idea. The candyfloss machine was Amy's pride and joy and he thought it would be funny to give it a boost.

"He and a some pals sprinkled a wrap of coke into the mixture and Amy started eating it before she realised what they'd done. She now thinks it's a hoot to do the same."

Ah, yes. I see the screw-up fairy has visited my favourite troll yet again. When will she ever learn?

Truth be known, we're used to the bizarre over here on cynical island - you can't report from the gossip trenches about the murky world of celebrity without being snipered every now and again. But Wino's latest episode in her psychedelic soap opera just takes the candy-coated biscuit.

Seriously, what's next? Cocaine-laced toilet roll? Oh God, I hope I haven't just given her an idea...

The Winehouse gene pool could sure use a little chlorine. The end.

Just gold

A bit of a worry

Rumour has it that

The actress/singer/whatever, who is currently dating DJ

Samantha Ronson

, has reportedly received 'Biblical' threats to three different Californian addresses, so she's enlised the help of cops to protect her, so says British tabloid the

Daily Star

Quite what they mean by 'Biblical' is anyone's guess. A plague of locusts perhaps? Who cares. You can bet your granny that some homophobic freak out there is responsible for the messages, scribed in fuzzy felt, no doubt.

Stay tuned for updates...

Everyone's talking about...

Ringo Starr and his pompous class.

Thinking of penning a superlative-laden fan letter to ex-Beatle boy Ringo Starr? Forget it. He's in no mood for your fawning.

Here's a video of his rant:

It sounds like English, but I can't understand a word he's saying.

Starr's basically validated my inherent mistrust of some celebrities. Talk about an inflated ego. What could possibly be keeping the fossil so

busy?
