Amy Winehouse’s Dad Says He Wants to Control Her Money to Save Her Life

According to the Daily Mail, Amy Winehouse’s father has joined forces with her record label to gain control over her finances while she struggles with her addictions.

Amy’s new husband Blake Fielder-Civil is being painted as the bad guy in this scenario and the reason for the legal wrangling.

According to a source, unemployed Blake controls the cash. The source said: "Amy just hands everything over to him. . .

Mitch has told a friend he fears Blake’s influence will see Amy overdosing or committing suicide if he leaves or cheats.

“It makes me sick, he’s the reason she’ll die. I’m not going to see him get everything that she worked so hard for,” he told the friend.

After Amy and Blake were photographed covered in blood and scratches two weeks ago, they were spotted in a bank where she withdrew hundreds of pounds in cash, and then handed it over to her husband.

You know what they always say, "The couple that cuts together, spends all the money on drugs together."

The photo below illustrates the toll her career and the drugs and perhaps the hubby have had on her.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that she may not survive this.

Lindsay Lohan Arrested for DUI, Again

Uh-oh, Lilo! We knew that Lindsay Lohan’s SCRAM ankle bracelet was a sham!

The arrest happened early this morning and TMZ has been reporting the rapidly changing details. A rundown of the details…in the order it broke, so you can enjoy the ludicrous nature of the Firecrotch downward spiral. We only wish they had pics and video!

According to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Dept., 21-year-old Lohan was nailed around 2:15 AM near Pico Boulevard and Main Street early Tuesday morning.

Lindsay Lohan was popped for possession of cocaine, driving under the influence, transporting a narcotic into a custodial facility and driving on a suspended license. Sources say her blood alcohol level was between .12 and .13, well over the .08 legal limit.

Cops tell TMZ cocaine was found in her pants pocket [during a search at the station].

If convicted, she would almost certainly do time, especially with another possible DUI looming.

Law enforcement now says Lohan was stopped after cops got a call of a vehicle being chased by another vehicle. The chasing vehicle was being driven by Lohan.

Lohan was driving a white Denali. She was chasing a Cadillac Escalade.

Lindsay Lohan is out of jail.

Law enforcement sources say Lohan was cooperative in jail. We’re told she was very upset.

A law enforcement source at the Santa Monica jail tells TMZ "she did just about everything we asked."

…[except] She refused to submit to a PASD — Preliminary Alcohol Screening Device. That’s a chemical test administered in the field to determine blood alcohol levels.

We’re told cops did administer a walk-the-line test, and Lindsay flunked.

The sophisticated SCRAM alcohol monitoring device which Lindsay Lohan voluntarily strapped around her leg wasn’t the reason cops busted her for DUI Thursday morning.

TMZ contacted a rep from the company that monitors the SCRAM bracelet who said, "I didn’t even know she was arrested."

And there you have it folks! If Nicole Richie gets thrown in jail in August, we’ll have a trifecta. Who would have thought that Paris Hilton’s offenses would be the least dramatic.

A coke-fueled, drunken chase in an SUV. You can’t make this stuff up!

Lindsay Lohan is Moving

Lindsay Lohan turned 21 yesterday, and she’s apparently celebrating by having her things moved out of her posh Los Angeles condo, so she can settle into a quieter place when she leaves rehab. The New York Daily News says:

… a West Coast spy reports that her belongings have quietly been moved out of her apartment at the Sierra Towers in L.A.

"The Sierra Towers is party central," says an insider. "Lindsay has made the decision not to be around that when she gets out."

Current and former residents of the glamorous address include Matthew Perry, Vincent Gallo, Cher, PJ Harvey, Evander Holyfield, Joan Collins, Peter Lawford, Fred Durst, Sidney Poitier, George Hamilton and David Geffen.

It’s not like Lindsay chose not to have the big Las Vegas booze filled birthday bash, she’s got legal worries. Lindsay’s lawyer, Blair Berk, is reportedly pissed that the cops released blood test results showing Lindsay had cocaine in her system, and her blood alcohol was twice the legal limit the night she crashed her car into a Beverly Hills tree. Lindsay knows she’s got to find a quieter place where she can hide out from the cops.

Lindsay did get a new iPhone for her birthday.

Lindsay will be arraigned for DUI on August 24.

Happy 21st Birthday to Lindsay Lohan

With rampant rumors that you’re fresh out of rehab, you have your whole life ahead of you.

First, Kudos on canceling the Vegas bash, you 12-step program rock star, you!

Our birthday wishes include hopes that you’ll remain on the straight and narrow and that you’re celebrating this milestone with friends who can support you in your sobriety.

One day at a time, so Linds, hon, try to stay away from the ‘rents until you’re truly, firmly in recovery.

Britney Spears Filing Restraining Order Against Her Mother, Claims Mom is Abusing Drugs

Britney Spears went shopping yesterday and conveniently forgot that a changing room is for covering your nudity. Is that a guilty expression on her face? Maybe she has her newest legal troubles on her mind.

We kept hearing about this escalation in the Britney vs. her Mom feud. With additional details surfacing, it’s getting uglier.

Apparently, Brit-Brit is in a snit-snit about Lynne’s friendship with Kevin Federline, Shar Jackson, et al, and is still fuming that her mom sided with Federline during the rehab/intervention and during custody wrangling.

According to X17, "a source" is confirming that Britney Spears is about to file a request for a restraining order against her mother, Lynne Spears.

Our source tells us that the paperwork is completed and that Britney is claiming her mother is abusing prescription pain medication and that she should be kept away from Sean and Jayden. The papers are supposed to be filed today or tomorrow.

Since Britney and Lynne are estranged, Grandma Spears has to visit the grandbabies when they’re with Federline. The restraining order, if it goes through, will stop those playdates.

In the topsy-turvy, Cheetos-fueled, head-shaving, nip-slip world of Britney it’s hard to tell whether any of it is true.

The strain doesn’t stop her from going out every night or shopping with her friends by day.

If Grandma is banned, who is watching those kids she’s so concerned about?
