OMG: AMY Winehouse spotted wearing diapers on her way to visit Blake in Prison on Monday!

What's under there Amy?

Amy Winehouse is reportedly using diapers. The troubled singer was wearing what appeared to be a diaper under her flowery dress when she went to visit her jailed husband Blake Fielder-Civil at London's Pentonville Prison on Monday (26.05.08). The report, which appeared on German website www.bild.de, appeared under the headline "Does Amy Winehouse carry diapers now?"

The 24-year-old singer also lashed out at paparazzi photographers waiting outside her home after being denied the opportunity to visit 26-year-old Blake because she missed her appointment. It would have been one of her first meetings with her husband since their wedding anniversary two weeks ago. The 'Back to Black' singer spent the day at a charity football event with rocker friend Pete Doherty. The couple have been apart for seven months of their 12 month marriage, due to Blake's incarceration. He is awaiting trial on charges of grievous bodily harm and attempting to pervert the course of justice. Ivor Novello award-winning Amy was also reportedly getting her career back on track by recording the theme for new James Bond film 'Quantum of Solace' at the weekend.

Meanwhile Amy Winehouse's alleged lover has left her management team for taking drugs. Alex Haines, who has reportedly been romancing the troubled singer while her husband Blake Fielder-Civil is in prison on remand, is believed to have resigned after video footage emerged of him apparently smoking crack cocaine. A source revealed to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "There's no mistaking from looking at the film that he was taking drugs. It was a shock to everyone. "Metropolitan management asked him to resign. The last thing Amy needs hanging around her are more users. Alex was supposed to help her and he crossed the line. He had to go." A Metropolis spokesperson confirmed: "We can confirm that Alex Haines is no longer working for Metropolis or Amy Winehouse."

Reports emerged last month that the 'Rehab' singer was planning to divorce Blake, who is currently awaiting trial on charges of perverting the course of justice and grievous bodily harm, to start a new life with Alex. Meanwhile, a team of locksmiths have been sent to Amy's house to change her locks while she is out of the country, to ensure nobody can get in. Keep praying for ma gurl!

KIMPOSSIBLE: Is Diddy CRAZY? He's writing a romantic movie for Sienna Miller to star in!

Kim Porter is about to go wild soon as we hear P. Diddy wants to woo Sienna Miller by writing a movie for her. Remember that Diddy wants to be a "Screenwriter" story I told you days ago? The hip-hop mogul - who was linked to the stunning actress last year following his split from Kim Porter - is currently penning a romantic comedy and is keen for Sienna to play the lead role. He said: "I'm writing a film, a comedy. For actresses, I want Angelina Jolie and Sienna Miller." When asked who would play the male characters, P. Diddy replied: "For actors, Eddie Murphy." His pal Crazy Dogg added: "This is going to be one hot movie. We're all like, are you writing this so you can just hang with Sienna?' "

Sienna and P. Diddy were first romantically linked last January, shortly after the rap star's then-partner Kim had given birth to twin girls. The pair were seen partying in New York, before heading back to the actress' hotel room. He was quick to quash speculation the pair were anything more than friends. However, they then sparked fresh romance rumours last July, after the blonde actress went to the rapper's post-Concert for Diana party, held at London's Paper nightclub. The pair spent most of the evening together and later moved to a private area of the club to relax behind a curtain. The following month, P. Diddy invited Sienna for a romantic break on his yacht in Ibiza.

Diddy has started doing the kimpossible again. Can you please marry this woman and join your pals Jay-Z and Usher in the rich music husband's club!

WHAT?: Ne-Yo SHOCKED at Lindsay Lohan's new album!

Singer/songwriter NE-YO declared his support for LINDSAY LOHAN's singing career - insisting he was "shocked" by how good her new album is. The So Sick hitmaker was drafted in to collaborate with the actress-turned-pop star for her forthcoming third LP, which is due for release later this year (08). And Ne-Yo admits he was initially reluctant to work with Lohan, but soon changed his mind as soon as he heard her new material - even calling the 22-year-old to apologise.

He says, "(She has done) a ridiculously fabulous job. "I gotta admit, we were like...Lindsay Lohan? I mean, I've written for Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Celine Dion and... Lindsay Lohan? "I was so shocked I had to call her and apologise for what I was thinking because she did so good. I think the world is gonna be surprised."

SUMMER'S HERE GIRL: J-Hud will be designing scarves....and knitting them too!

Jennifer Hudson has revealed she spends her spare time "making clothes and knitting scarves". The 'Sex and the City: The Movie' star - who stars as Sarah Jessica Parker's character Carrie Bradshaw's assistant Louise in the big screen adaptation of the hit US TV show - shares her character's love of fashion and adds to her collection whenever she has the chance. She said: "I make clothes and knit scarves. But I really love purses! "I'm a purse girl, not a shoe girl. I remember, I had a scene where you didn't see my feet. So I took my shoes off. But the director, Michael Patrick King, was like, 'Put those heels back on. You're not fully in character unless you're in heels.' He was serious. I had to put my heels back on. It's hard. The heels are mandatory!"

Jennifer also revealed she wasn't nervous about starring in the highly-anticipated movie, because she knew the actresses would accept her. She added to USA Today magazine: "It's a family that already lived together, and they added me. They're fierce, and I get to be fierce and fabulous with them." 'Sex and the City: The Movie' is released worldwide this week.

Girl, when are those scarves going on sale? It's always cold up here. Yesterday Toronto was like 90 degrees, today 40 degrees is the high. Tommorow 85 degrees. Weekend 38 degrees with rain! Fluctuating so much we can use those scarves here J-Hud. Can't trust Toronto weather. Now that's just T-Dot......It's snowing in Calgary as we speak! Meanwhile she hit the Sex and the City premiere last night!

THAT'S MA GURL: Natasha B's bizzare record breaking hopes!

NATASHA BEDINGFIELD was ecstatic after landing a place in the Guinness World Records with her pop star brother DANIEL - because she always harboured a dream to be listed in the famous book. The talented pair was honoured by the legendary tome in 2005 after they became the first siblings to score number one singles in U.K. chart history. Natasha Bedingfield scored a U.K. number one with her single These Words in 2004, while Daniel Bedingfield claimed the top spot in 2001 with Gotta Get Thru This.

And, although the Unwritten singer loves her place on the list, she had previously hoped to be known for breaking a more bizarre record. She tells New York gossip column Page Six, "I always dreamed that I would get into the Guinness Book for the world's longest fingernails or the world's longest hair. "But to be honoured alongside my brother for our singles supersedes any of my dreams." Remember I interviewed Natasha at the Canadian Idol auditions last month. Canadian Idol starts next Tuesday June 3rd 2008. Natasha told me she LOVES BLOGGERS! We are the real DEAL!

STAGEROOM: Rihanna says she likes to wear her sexy stage costumes in the bedroom!

R&B star RIHANNA knows how to spice up her sex life - she wears her raunchy stage outfits in the bedroom. The Umbrella hitmaker - currently dating singer Chris Brown - loves her provocative concert costumes so much, she can't resist taking them home. She says, "I like to push the envelope sometimes. It depends on the mood and the occasion. "It's always fun to take some home. Sometimes I get to do that."

That Chris Brown boy is sure lucky!! I hope she ties him up to the bedposts and pokes him with an umbrella! Only God knows what else they will be doing with an umbrella in there!
