Winehouse is a cover girl



GUESTS at the opening of posh fashion house Fendi’s new flagship Paris store were probably expecting handbags — but not handbags at dawn. It seems everywhere AMY WINEHOUSE goes, trouble follows.

The Rehab singer, sporting a nasty bump to the side of her face, was paid a whopping £500k to perform at the bash.
She had attempted to cover the lump with loads of make-up but told the well-heeled guests it was “so big I can see it out of my eye. Do you get mumps in France?”
The event ended in an almighty scrap among some of the guests as they jockeyed for position to hear her sing.
A source at Paris Fashion Week said: “It was a complete fiasco. It got nasty and people were breaking bottles. Organisers had to lock the crowd in without any drinks while she performed.”
