Lady GaGa mistaken for Amy Winehouse?

Our girl Lady GaGa does indeed dye her hair and with good reason. Turns out a reporter once had mistaken her for Amy Winehouse.  Crazy, right?

I don't know about you but I'm not really seeing a comparision. GaGa did call Winehouse "badass" and simply wants to be her own person and known for her own style. Well, I don't blame her.

did amy unknowingly help hubby get high in jail?

last week news broke of blake fielder-civil suffering from a heroin overdose in prison. it poses the question - how does one go about obtaining illegal drugs while incarcerated?

for starters, a famous wife helps.

apparently, blake swapped signed winehouse photos with his fellow inmates in exchange for the goods. read more about the alleged transactions here.

the ralphie report - grammy edition.

catch this in the weekender on wednesday...

On Sunday night, Amy Winehouse reaffirmed her position as an artist that can perform, inspire, and revolutionize what we know as contemporary music. The British singer won 5 of the 6 Grammy awards the Academy nominated her for, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year for the track that may define Wino’s career – Rehab.

Due to problems with renewing her Visa, as well as the ongoing rehab stint, Winehouse performed and accepted one of the five awards via satellite in London’s Riverside Studios.

Here on WYOU, we watched the Amy Winehouse that America fell in love with over the summer. The Amy Winehouse with swagger and confidence. The one that appeared to scoff at you while belting out the memorable, authentic, “No, No, No!” when they asked her to go to rehab.

The intervention of her father, Mitch, led her to a different response when they proposed another stint in rehab last month, just after video surfaced of the bee-hived singer as a blond, smoking what appeared to be a crack pipe.

“I’m useless to you anyway now, I just took about six valium,” slurred Winehouse in the grainy footage.

With a Grammy debut that ended with five pieces of hardware and one brilliant performance, it’s doubtful that people will regard Winehouse in such a dreadful light for the time being.

Now the blogs and vlogs have new material – like her reaction on live TV to winning Record of the Year. Overcome with shock, Winehouse embraced band members and her parents, thanking them while also offering up her second shout-out of the night to locked-up husband Blake Fielder-Civil .

“For my Blake incarcerated, and for London! This is for London!” Winehouse emotionally proclaimed.

This success may be for her home city, but by all means, you can’t deny the British vocalist’s All-American comeback story.

DON’T WORRY – OTHER ARTISTS WON TOO

- Prior to the show’s start, Kanye West already coroneted himself a Grammy winner. Yet, for the third time, the Album of the Year Grammy escaped him, awarded to jazz musician Herbie Hancock.

Despite this, West still stole and extended the spotlight. While accepting his Grammy for Best Rap Album, producers began to play the “wrap-up” music right before the Chicago-rapper entered into a tribute to his mother. West politely asked the Academy to kill the music, and they obliged.

Kanye also paid homage to his late mother, Dr. Donda West, earlier in the night with his performance of Hey Mama. West won four Grammys.

- Vince Gill earned himself a little street-cred Sunday night. After receiving the Best Country Album Grammy from Beatle-legend Ringo Starr, Gill offered up the following on stage:

“I just got an award given to me by a Beatle,” gleamed Gill. “Have you had that happen yet Kanye?”

West smiled it off. After all, no egos would be injured in the production of this awards show.

- Reading’s Taylor Swift appeared in her first Grammy’s, presenting an award and losing Best New Artist to Winehouse.

one of the best grammy performances...

amy winehouse kills it!

the wino back in black.

amy winehouse in action...

so sad...

could amy winehouse have more fun as a blond?

i suppose we'll soon find out...

amy winehouse is a mess times thirty.

these pictures speak way more than a million words.

amy winehouse - should we feel bad for her?

the paps caught her on the street at 5am screaming for help. at one point earlier this year, everyone thought amy winehouse was poised to be this year's biggest breakout star.

instead, she's turned herself into one of this year's biggest disasters/headlines.

hmm...

is it because maxim placed her second on their ugliest women in the world list? did they try to make her to to rehab again?

why do you think amy winehouse is crying?

christmas/chanukah is right around the corner...

why not purchase a special something for that loved one...

you can order all of the above from amy winehouse's website. nothing says, "i love you," like a pint glass, an ash tray, and a dvd, all emblazed with the name and likeness of a celebrity who is consistently busted for the abuse of drugs, going as far as to defiantely sing that she won't go to rehab.

can i get a, "no, no, no,"?

amy finally says yes, yes, yes to rehab.

rehab singer amy winehouse is finally in rehab - for real - according to the mirror in the uk.

here's some of the article...

"Amy Winehouse and husband Blake Fielder-Civil agreed to go into drugs rehab after seeing their dads nearly come to blows, friends said last night.

Amy was in tears after the row during a showdown with their families over their heroin and cocaine addiction.

A source close to the family told the Mirror: "It broke Amy's heart to see her parents and in-laws fighting.

"That was the point when she realised all the drink and drugs were causing huge problems for everybody."

The party-loving couple flew to the US for intensive counselling and detox treatment after also seeing a leading Harley Street doctor recommended by former wild child Kelly Osbourne.

Jazz diva Amy's drink and drug problems came to a head on Wednesday when she collapsed following a three-day bender with 25-year-old Blake.

Amy, 23, was taken to hospital in the early hours after taking a cocktail of heroin, ecstasy, cocaine, the horse tranquilliser ketamine and booze.

Later that day, she and Blake checked into a suite at the Four Seasons Hotel in Hook, Hampshire.

But on Friday night they were caught by her best friend Juliette Ashby smoking heroin in their £3,000-a-night hotel suite.

Amy's taxi driver dad Mitch "flipped" when he heard - and next day they were joined by worried Mitch, wife Janis, Blake's stepfather Giles Fielder-Civil and mother Georgette.

During the row, Mitch grabbed Giles by the throat and "threatened to rip his head off" .

The source said: "It was only when Amy saw her family falling apart that she realised she had to do something.

"She confessed that she and Blake had drug problems and had to have treatment together."

Mitch is also said to have demanded that Blake be fitted with an implant to curb his drug-taking.

Blake refused but agreed to join Amy on a drug counselling and treatment programme.

The source went on: "They both admitted taking cocaine and heroin. But they denied they had been injecting heroin.

"At one point, both Amy and Blake stripped off in front of Georgette to prove they had not been using needles.""

blog-a-licious.

welcome.

not going to waste time with an introduction, because that can be accomplished by reading the bio to the right. but in case you haven't figured it out, or have stumbled across this blog accidently, my name is ralphie, and i currently host a weeknight show on 97bht in scranton/wilkes-barre.

the blog will be a running account of my adaptation to life in the area i will commonly refer to as "the nepa." i'll also fill these spaces with the "best of" current celeb gossip, photos, and youtube videos. btw - my youtube channel can be accessed by clicking here.

hmm... what else... i own a digital camera, so expect funny pictures and photographic accounts of concerts, road trips, and other events of interest. i know perez hilton. he's used stuff from me a couple times on his site. hasn't given me credit, but you'll see screen shots of the e-mails to legitimize my claims. for that matter, i meet a lot of celebs, so expect stories and photos.

btw - my first time ever in "the nepa" was my sophomore year of college. i traveled here to party with the black eyed peas. the peas were playing a show in e. stroudsberg. ask me about it sometime - i learned how to party like a rockstar, shop boyz style.

another btw - i cannot share my myspace or facebook URLs. but i'll give you a hint - i use ralphie aversa in each.

and yes, that's my birth-name. well ralph aversa to be exact. i'm half italian, quarter greek, quarter armenian. any armenians in nepa? holler at me.
