Has the world gone mad? Amy Winehouse says she’s clean (though, er, not exactly sober). From the St. Lucia resort where she’s been holed up for weeks, the “Rehab” singer declares to the U.K.’s News of the World, “I’m off the drugs for good!”
She also says she’s totally over hubby Blake Fielder-Civil, who’s imprisoned back in Britain, confessing, “I don’t know what’s going on with us now and for the time being I’ve just forgotten I’m even married. … I’ll deal with Blake when I get back.” (Note that she also says, “I don’t think I’m ever going home.”)
And Amy — who reportedly drank daiquiris throughout the interview — credits her clean-cut new beau Josh Bowman with her new lease on life, saying, “He couldn’t be more different from my husband, which is not a bad thing.”
She gushes, “When I’m with Josh I don’t need drugs to feel good because he makes me feel so amazing.”
We want to believe you, Amy. We really do. Let’s just say we’re not holding our breath.
Mrs. Fergalicious
Stacy Ferguson is now Mrs. Josh Duhamel. The singer known as Fergie and the “Las Vegas” star wed Saturday at the Church Estates Vineyard in Malibu.
The “My Humps” babe carried a crystal-studded bouquet, sported a 4-karat diamond engagement ring (what recession?) and had 10 bridesmaids clad in black (black? Seriously?), People reports.
The celebrity-guest roll call included everyone from Kate Hudson to Kid Rock to Mario Lopez to James Caan, and, of course, Fergie’s Black Eyed Peas bandmates.
Congrats to the happy couple. So far, no word on whether the bride plans to change her stage name to “Duhie.”
Dancing Scene
“Mamma Mia!” lovebirds Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper have apparently carried over their onscreen romance to real life. They were spotted bumping and grinding on the dance floor at a London nightclub.
“They really were all over each other,” a gawker dishes to the U.K.’s Mail. “They were kissing and holding hands, and being very tactile with each other.” The couple reportedly arrived together, and didn’t leave until 3 a.m.
When they were filming the hit ABBA-inspired musical, the pair allegedly felt a spark — but both were in relationships with other people at the time. (Dominic, who’s only 30, had been with his then-girlfriend for 12 years!)
But “the fact that I felt something in my heart for [Dominic] made me feel that something was definitely wrong” with the relationship she was in, Amanda reportedly told the Mail last year.
These two sure are cute together — it’ll be interesting to see whether this turns out to be more than a deferred on-set romance.
Nicole: Self-Critical
Nicole Kidman is her own toughest critic. In a rare bout of celebrity candor, the Oscar winner admitted in a recent Australian radio interview that she was underwhelmed by her own performance in the widely panned Baz Luhrmann-directed “Australia.”
“I can’t look at this movie and be proud of what I’ve done,” the actress confessed, adding that at the film’s Sydney premiere, “I sat there and I looked at [husband] Keith [Urban] and went, “Am I any good in this movie?”
She was quick to add that her co-stars were “wonderful,” explaining, “It’s just impossible for me to connect to it emotionally at all.”
After the movie screened, the “Hours” star literally fled the country to avoid the inevitable critics’ slams: “We ran because I didn’t want to read anything. I didn’t want to know. I saw my sister and my family and we saw Keith’s family and then we were straight on a plane.”
Nicole, honey, it’s a good thing you’ve been talking about giving up acting to have more kids. With that kind of brutal honesty, you might not be able to find much work.
