Wino's dad: 'I want Amy sectioned'
Amy Winehouse's distraught father has sensationally revealed that he wants his drug-dependent daughter to be locked up, to "cure her problems".
The shocking news emerges after a whirlwind weekend that saw Wino
for allegedly head-butting a man at a bar earlier in the week.
The songbird was
from police custody on Saturday. She was given a formal caution, but no charges were filed.
So Britain beware: Wino's back on the streets, and she's as feral as ever.
I digress. Back to papa Wino.
So concerned is cab driver Mitch over his daughter's welfare, he's convinced the only way to save her from killing herself with drugs, is to get her sectioned.
Mitch tells the

News of the World
: "I want her sectioned. The situation is getting out of control. I want her off the street."
No rehab
"I don't think being somewhere for six weeks is going to cure her problems," says Mitch of increasing calls to cart Wino to rehab.
"I think it needs far more radical measures. We will take the bull by the horns and deal with it."
I sniff an intervention, a la

.
The father's revelations came to light after he reportedly cut short a holiday in Tenerife to fly home and plan an emergency intervention.
Mitch reveals that he plans to meet with Wino's people, family and medical professionals this week.
"I've been on the phone to Amy's manager in Los Angeles and he's starting things rolling. They are going to be speaking to doctors, psychologists and everything else.
"I want Amy to be somewhere where she will be safe and where no harm can come to her.
"Obviously as her dad I will try and do what's best for her.

"Unfortunately, what I think is best for Amy and what she thinks is best for her are two different things.
"And it might be that other parties might need to be involved," he added.
Be quick about it, because if
are anything to go by, Wino's on a sleighride to certain doom.
Save Wino.

last week, and things didn't go that well.
During her performance of new single
Touch My Body
, Mimi's back-up tape appeared to malfunction and kicked in too soon.
Ever the consummate professional, Mimi carried on regardless. But behind her showbiz shades, you just know that she was spitting tacks.
And there's more...

About 3 minutes into the song, an over-enthusiastic backing singer then started singing Mimi's part, at which point she turned around and sang "Stop singing my paaaarttt...now babbbby..."
Ha ha! Just imagine being a fly on the wall in Mimi's dressing room after that shambles.
And guess whose back-up singer is now unemployed?

Word has it that she's been officially placed on a paparazzi shiz list after breaking some unwritten ‘fame game' rules at a CD signing last week.
TMZ.com says:
After Mariah showed up two hours late (bad), sprinted down the red carpet (even badder), and wore sunglasses on the red carpet (huge no-no), paparazzi nation decided to unofficially boycott the singer - that means no pictures, no coverage, no love. Surely, she will plummet into obscurity.
One can only hope.

Cattrall was

When quizzed about rumoured conflict between the ladies, Cattrall responds,
"Do you get along with your colleagues all the time? If you're spending 18 hours a day at work, the last thing you want to do is go and have a drink with the people who you just-you just need to get away."
Now that's refreshing candor.

On the subject of salary disputes, she says:
"I never expected to be paid what Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker) was being paid. But I felt that the offer was not worthy of what the three of us had contributed. And I spoke up about it. I feel like I stuck my neck out. I fought. I don't ever want to be on a set where I feel undervalued."
You go, girl!

If you Google Colin+Firth+Penis, there's a distinct possibility that you'll find a picture of Colin Firth's John Thomas.
Apparently so.
And yes, I have tried the search (purely for research purposes), and there's (mercifully) no sign of the beast as yet.
Now I feel pervy, and I'm blushing.
Firth appeared on US TV's
The Daily Show

last week to promote new flick Then She Found Me, and shared a few anecdotes about filming in New York City.
He mentioned the usual tourist traps he'd taken time out to visit, and then casually mentioned that he'd also had his penis photographed. As you do.
Firthy was apparently in the John at a Broadway show and some bloke starts to take snaps of his manhood.
Tricia: The sequel
Tricia Walsh-Smith is the woman so scorned, she took her divorce woes on YouTube for all and sundry to see.
She debuted on the video sharing site a couple of weeks ago to rant about how her husband was divorcing her and turfing her out of their palatial NYC apartment.

The artist formerly know as Michael Jackson has a big ‘Do Not Disturb' sign outside his front door.
Jackson, who's been staging a comeback for so long we no longer care, has reportedly shut down his private life and is not open to casual callers or well-wishers.
The man's busy working on a much-hyped comeback album.
Holed up in a Las Vegas recording studio, the singer has apparently cut off all contact with the outside world in a bid to make his project a success.
A source tells
PageSix

, "He's not going to be involved in any personal relationships with women (eh?) until he gets this record done. He's dumped the nanny - she's not around any more.
"Michael is producing the album himself and has banned his kids from the recording studio. He realises this is very important and doesn't want any distractions."
Driving Miss Crazy
Paris Hilton's latest squeeze, Benji Madden, reportedly ran over a paparazzo's foot as he left a nightclub last week.
TMZ says:
"As the snappers swarmed PBandJ's ride, a loud yelping sound can be heard as Benj drove right over one photog's checkered shoe covered foot outside Foxtail. After the rollover, Madden checked out the situation and took off. But just minutes ago, TMZ learned the treadmarked photog is currently dealing with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department over the incident.

"No word on whether Benji and Paris are even aware of that yet. UPDATE: The photographer just left the L.A. Sheriff's Department in West Hollywood, where he filed a hit and run report."

Pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears is reportedly terrified of giving birth, and her silly mother, Lynne, has made things worse.
Sources say the Spears matriarch showed her 17-year-old daughter a video of a real childbirth, after which seven-months-pregnant Jamie apparently threw up.
"Lynne was trying to be helpful," a snitch tells Star magazine.
"She wanted to show Jamie Lynn what a woman goes through giving birth, that it's a natural and beautiful thing, but all Jamie Lynn saw was the blood - or 'goop,' as she called it - the screaming and the pain. It was too graphic for her. She flipped out and literally got sick."
Star
adds that Jamie Lynn is now totally freaked out about the whole childbirth thing.

"She is wondering if a C-section is possible," the source adds. "She wants to be knocked out and then wake up when it's all over."
You made your bed, darling...now sit back, take a deep breath and think of America!
