Lets Get This Party Started
Wino's Dad - Amy's Death "Slow and Painful"

Posted Jul 14th 2008 6:16AM by TMZ Staff

Talk about being thrown under a bus ... by your own father: Amy Winehouse's dad says his baby girl could die "a very slow and painful death."

"She won't die of a drug overdose, it won't be that quick," says Mitch W., who's a driver, by the way, for Sky News. "She would die, unfortunately, of emphysema ... if she didn't check her behavior, which she is doing." Of course, TMZ showed you just yesterday how carefully she's checking her behavior.

As for Amy's jailbird hubby Blake Civil-Fielder, Papa Wino says they're just going to enable each other, when he gets out.

A-Rod's Ex-Agent Back in the Game?


The guy who made Alex Rodriguez his first (hundreds of) millions could be back in the picture.

Scott Boras, the superagent who negotiated A-Rod's first giant $250 million but was then dropped like a rock last year in favor of Guy Oseary, was in Toronto with A-Rod and wife Cynthia, reports the New York Daily News. It's unclear what he was actually doing there, but a source says he has "inserted himself in the equation."

Boras couldn't be reached for comment.

Slade -- His Own Worst Pimp


So Slade Smiley's pimping out his ex – Jo De La Rosa – for Bravo's reality show "Date My Ex," but he's the one who might need a pimp.

At an event to unfurl the show, reports the Huffington Post, Slade stepped up to the auction block to solicit bids for a date with him, with proceeds going to charity. Only problem was, one woman who bid $2,250 ended up backing out, so they had to try again – and the next time he went for a paltry $1,200.

"This is New York, I thought there was more money than that," Slade whined. Oh, there is.

1. Richie actually got the cake in Boston, not at the CP show. They sang happy birthday to him on stage and it is all over YouTube

2. He's right. It is pretty hard to die of a drug overdose unless you take way too much at one time. It is a lot easier to die of alcohol withdrawal. She isn't going to die of emphysema any time soon, but if she developes it, it will be a slow and painful death.

4. Poor Amy Winehouse. You can't choose your relatives, but if I were her I'd move to another country to get away from mine. How did that ugly piece of humanity produce such a gifted daughter?

5. Stupidity knows no bounds - she knows she's teetering on the edge but still she continues smoking! No sympathy for Ms Winehouse - top of the list for the Darwin Awards.

6. To #4 Kay, poor Amy Winehouse? Got news for ya sister, Winehouse chooses to smike, do drugs, drink to excess. It must be very painful for her father to watch her kill herself. As a former drinker and drug abuser myself, I cannot blame my family for what I did to myself for years. It was my choice. Thank God I woke up one day, after a night that should have killed me. I was lucky. There was nothing my family could have done to save me. I had to save myself and I did it the hard way. Complete cold turkey. She may have come from a dysfunctional home...very common. But we all have a brain which we choose to use or destroy. Winehouse obviously chooses to kill herself. Don't dump it on her dad. She is a grown up.

9. Bravo must be incredibly hard up for shows if they are making a dud like "Date My Ex". Both of those people are complete losers. They both act and speak like they are dealing with some slight mental retardation. Not a show I plan on watching. I would rather make shadow puppets on my living room wall.

13. TMZ you should be tryn to support ya girl amy and help her through this horrible situation. Being an addict is serious. Addiction is a disease and you may not even have the ability to want to stop when ur addicted. The drugs do that. She's got money so she's not getting the depressed, "I'm going broke b/c of drugs", reason to stop. So this is probably really hard for her to understand right now. I just hoped she doesn't die before people stop making fun of her issue and start saving lives before it's too late. When someone is an addict you get them help you don't laugh at them. Its' like laughing at someone with cancer, they can't control it but there may be a chance to cure it...

14. MWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA at stupid Slade being disappointed by the low auction. He and that moron Jo think they are the next best thing to sliced bread. In their own idiotic minds they think they are A-list, when in actuality they are on NO list. Networks have to be reaching for new material when they pair up two of the most boring and pathetic people ever and try to garner interest in their dating life. Who cares about Jo? She has proven time and time again that she is a no talent hack and a gold digging shrew. It's not about finding 'love' for her, it's about putting money in her fake Gucci wallet, or at least finding a sugar daddy.

Both are beyond pathetic.
