The answer to that question is probably no – especially after her Glasto attack – but don't panic, the Amy on offer is totally harmless. Madame Tussauds have today announced that they will unveil a waxwork of the huge-haired singer this summer, complete with her trademark beehive and tattoos. A spokesperson for the attraction said, "We are really pleased to be creating Amy; she is a real icon in modern British music, a continual award winner, and an internationally recognised star widely requested by our guests." The waxwork, which is due to be displayed from the end of July, is expected to be hugely popular. Amy's so tiny now that Madame Tussauds could probably make her entire figure by using a few tea lights, but the hair is another matter – where the hell are they going to get all that from? And how will they keep up with all Amy's tattoos? Thankfully, there was no mention of plans to make a Blakeincarcerated waxwork to go with Amy. Perhaps they'll stand her next to George Clooney to cheer her up.
