The singer is rumoured to have had an affair months ago with US photographer, just out of rehab she began romping with American Blake Wood – dubbed Blake II by her friends. She then found comfort in Alex Haines – her manager’s aide, and has been seeing him in secret ever since. Dubbed a “clean-cut” lad, Alex is 22 years old, and doesn’t smoke or take drugs – sounds like him and Winehouse are going to have loads in common. Winehouse’s camp however hope he’ll do the troubled star the world of good, just the right kind of influence she needs at the moment in her crazy life. Reports say she’s yet to tell jailed hubby Blake about the affair…something tells me that if he’s read a paper this weekend he’s probably already found out…
Rude Britannia
BRITS are ruder now than ten years ago – with spitting our most hated bad habit, a poll has revealed...although picking your nose does not feature.
More than half of us believe bad manners are the UK’s biggest problem – and blame parents for not stamping it out.
The poll of 2,800 people – carried out for ITV1’s Tonight programme – found swearing was our second most hated habit, and queue-jumping came third.
Other habits shamed on the show – on tonight at 8pm – included playing loud music and not giving a seat to a pregnant woman.
Esther Rantzen, patron of the Campaign for Courtesy, told the programme: “My generation has a lot to answer for. Youth culture in the 60s and early 70s threw out every rulebook and thought it was clever to use four-letter words. Things should go back – not to the old deference, not to grovelling, not to any of that – but just to feeling respect.
“That would make everyone’s life more pleasant.”
Etiquette coach Diana Mather said: “It’s part of the breakdown in society. We stopped having respect for figures in authority – partly because those in authority didn’t command it.”
Top ten rudest behaviour:
1) Spitting 27.6%
2) Swearing 20.2%
3) Queue jumping 13.3%
4) Not saying please or thank you 10.1%
5) Playing music on an MP3 in public 6.9%
6) Passing wind/belching in public 4.8%
7) Speaking loudly on a mobile phone in public 4.7%
8) Inconsiderate driving i.e. stealing a parking space 4.7%
9) Not giving up a seat for a pregnant passenger 3.3%
10) Not holding the door for the next person 1.8%
* Other forms of rudeness account for remaining 2.7%

Surprisingly. She’s now in the process of apologising to her fans, “I feel so embarrassed.”
* Jennifer Aniston has been pictured looking ‘touchy feely’ with Jessica Simpson’s ex John Mayer. Word on the street says that at their lunch date he had a sandwich and she apparently nibbled on his lettuce…sounds like love to me.
