Amy trashed

Amy Winehouse trashed her dressing room at the MTV European Music Awards this week.

The troubled singer caused thousands of pounds of damage to her room at the Olympiahalle before the ceremony began. She threw fruit, tables and chairs, cut an expensive rug to shreds, and tossed a plate of spaghetti bolognese at a wall.

Awards host Snoop Dogg came to visit Winehouse before the show, and was shocked when he spotted the state of her room.

A member of Snoop's entourage told the Sunday Mirror: "An hour and a half before the show, Snoop said he wanted to see Amy. When we got there, she was in a right state. Everyone, including her management, just stood there as she lobbed spaghetti up the walls. It went on for about five minutes - with her kicking the walls and throwing whatever she could get her hands on - even the tables and the chairs. Then she started cutting up the rug. Snoop was just standing there open-mouthed. He was pretty freaked out by it and didn't want to hang out with her after that."

Katona's Crusade

Kerry Katona yesterday revealed she is crusading to help addicts kick drugs – spurred on by her own cocaine hell.

The ex-Atomic Kitten, 27, is backing an online project launched by a pal she met in rehab.

The Recovery Network also offers support via a satellite TV channel.
Pregnant Kerry – star of the Iceland TV ads – will talk about her own battle on the network.

The mum of three said of her descent into drugs: “I should have said no. But I didn’t. I wasn’t strong enough.”

KY-Space?

Singer Kylie Minogue has launched her own social networking website for her fans to communicate with each other.

The KylieKonnect website enables fans to create personal profiles and upload images, as well as "keep up to date with all the very latest on Kylie".

The launch comes amid reports that the 39-year-old has shelved plans for a 2008 world tour to promote new album X.

Amy and Pete star at EMAs

The Brits conquered the MTV Europe Music Awards last night with Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty on top form.

They produced the two stand-out performances at the bash in Munich, Germany, and it just goes to show how good they could be if they both steer clear of drugs.

Muse backed them up by bagging two top awards. Amy's appearance was the perfect example of both her genius and her frustrating desire to muck it all up.

She won an award, was booed for her lack of gratitude then silenced the crowd with a great performance of Back to Black.

When Amy tottered on stage to accept the Artists Choice award, muttered "Fanks" then wandered off she left most of the crowd scratching their heads.

The least she could have done was show a bit of appreciation to her fellow artists who had nominated her for the gong. She had a couple of wobbles but it was the best performance of the night.


Don't drive Dogg

Lewis Hamilton’s F1 bosses are well and truly in the Dogg house with the superstar driver.

The race ace, below, missed out on an amazing cameo with Snoop Dogg at the MTV Europe Music Awards last night.

And it was all because of his watertight contract with McLaren Mercedes.

Lewis was asked by hip-hop star Snoop to be his celeb chauffeur for the night as the show’s host he wanted the British motorsports hero to drive him onstage at Munich’s Olympiahalle in a sparkling Daimler limo.

But because Lewis is tied in legally with Mercedes he can’t be seen to drive anything other than their cars.

After losing out on his chauffeur role Lewis was instead invited to award Avril Lavigne with her gong for Most Addictive Track, for Girlfriend.

Place in the country for Pete

Pete Doherty is set to move into a new nine-bedroom country mansion.

The rocker has decided his current pad in Marlborough, Wilts, is not big enough for it to be the creative haven he wants for him and all his musical pals.

So his management team have found him another country pile in the same area.

The new house is a reward for Pete trying to clean up his act in recent months.

A source said: “Pete is enjoying having his base outside London. He wants a bigger place so musicians can visit from the Smoke and have plenty of room to create and relax.

Magic man wows stars

Magician Dynamo was the man all the stars wanted to meet at the EMA’s.

He landed the plum job of doing magic for the 40million TV audience around Europe between awards and he left stars and their entourages stunned by his skills.

Dynamo, from humble roots in Bradford, was called for an audience with Snoop.

He also befriended reggae star Shaggy who took him to meet Nelly Furtado to impress her with his tricks.

He swapped numbers with Shaggy and promised to keep in touch.

Napoleon Dynamite actor Jon Heder has also asked him to visit LA to put on a show for his pals.

Wino may duet with Pete at EMA

Amy Winehouse is being secretly flown in to spice up the MTV Europe Music Awards in Munich tonight.

The event’s organisers hope the controversial singer will add a bit of rock ’n’ roll excitement to the normally clean-cut event.

There is even talk of a duet with Pete Doherty — and if that comes off MTV chiefs will certainly get their wish.

Amy is nominated for three gongs at the bash but no one knew if she would turn up to collect them.

Now she has decided to make the trip after her pal Pete’s band Babyshambles announced earlier this week that they would perform.

A source told me: "MTV have been trying to persuade Amy to go for ages. When she heard Pete was doing it she thought it could be a laugh."

A lot to get off her chest

Britney Spears let a man snort cocaine off her chest during a wild Jacuzzi party, it was claimed last night.

Kohler said one man offered Britney cocaine and “joked he wanted to do a line off her chest, and she agreed.”

Dani to get Jacko's bodyguard

Matt Fiddes has been Jackson’s UK minder for ten years. Now he looks after Danielle, 23, who has been plagued by the female stalker for months.
The woman, in her 20s, followed Danielle from her home and got past other guards to lay flowers on her doorstep.

Dad-of-five Matt, 29, was recommended to Danielle by fellow Celebrity BB contestant Jermaine Jackson, Michael’s brother.

A friend of Danielle said yesterday: “She is totally freaked, but Matt is lethal in dealing with trouble. He is a renowned martial arts expert who could – if he wanted – kill with one move.”

The singer flew into a rage backstage before her act at the Desert Rhythm Festival in Dubai on Saturday.

Joss wanted to add a purple tint to her already dyed deep red locks – but the whole lot turned a shade of blue.

When an assistant brought a nice cuppa to calm everyone down the crockery was sent flying.

A source said: “Joss was screaming and sobbing because of this hair malfunction and chucked a tray of tea on the floor.

“She wanted a little tint in her dyed red hair but it all turned dark blue. She was behaving like a woman possessed. Then when she walked in front of the crowd she had a beaming smile and acted like nothing had happened.”
