Amy Winehouse, who topped many best of 2007 music lists, also came in high on Mr. Blackwell's annual “Worst Dressed List.” Wino recently surprised everyone with her newly bleached blond hair, tucked inside a wrap. We kinda like it — and the old-school Johnny Depp T-shirt.

Not to be outdone, Ashlee Simpson is now a (very boring looking) redhead.

David J. (bass player in Bauhaus) is focusing on a different stage these days, as he’s penned and is directing Silver For Gold (The Odyssey Of Edie Sedgwick) at the Met Theatre in Hollywood, beginning March 6. The story traces the rise and fall of the onetime Andy Warhol muse.

Here's a tip for celebrities visiting Italy and staying in Rome: Don't book a room at the Hotel De Russie. Dionne Warwick was there over the weekend, and thieves broke into her room and stole $75,000 worth of her jewelry. The same fate befell Cameron Diaz there back in 2000. Hmm, any chance the hotel staff might be tipping off the criminals?

Care to wager a guess how much Madonna spends on bottled water per month? A whopping $10,000! You see, Madge will only drink the $5-a-bottle Kabbalah Water brand, as all the water is supposedly blessed with healing powers. The company also makes claims that it might even cure cancer. Clearly it does not cure Man-Hands.

Britney Spears Watch:

We all know Britney returned home from Mexico with her paparazzi boy-pal, Adnan Ghalib. The two then went car shopping, and Britney wore the same dress she wore at her reception after marrying Kevin Federline. Did Britney buy him a Mercedes Benz? Is she considering marrying Adnan and thinking about converting to Islam? This week she showed up to her very important court hearing four hours late, got mobbed by the paparazzi and never even entered the courthouse! Instead, she inexplicably headed to the Little Brown Church in Burbank to “pray,” and is supposed to return for another court hearing. I predict she’ll completely lose all custody and any visitation rights of her kids by the time you read this. What was once perhaps kind of funny/silly is now deadly serious/tragic.
