Amy Winehouse supposedly pulled a very wise Spears-esque move recently and signed over control of her millions to her parents Mitch and Janis.
“Supposedly” because I can’t find any non-tabloid references to it (so, you’ve been warned). “Wise” because if it’s working as well for Spears as it seems, it may just work as well for Winehouse.
According to the Mirror, Winehouse’s father Mitch convinced her to give up control of her fortune in light of a montage of personal and professional events including looming divorce from Blake Fielder-Civil, a big fat check for album sales in 2008, a new album potentially on the horizon, and her claims of being drug-free since before Christmas.
Given these positives, including her new attitude, it only makes sense for Winehouse to ask for help when it comes to spending her loot, doesn’t it? After all, a few bad decisions could send her reeling back to square one.
And Winehouse isn’t just finding support from her parents, either - Saving Amy, a Web site with the same name as the UK documentary NY Daily News is reporting will air in March, is offering fans a place to leave messages for Amy to be included in what site owners are saying will be “the biggest ‘get well soon’ card in history.”
So, lesson learned, kids? Sometimes people - celebrities included - just have to suck it up and hand the reigns to someone who can help them. Admitting you’re out of control and need help isn’t a bad thing, and despite how low you think you’ve hit, there are people out there who care and want to help.
Awe, I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
