Amy refuses to go back to hospital:
Sigh. We wish we weren't writing this, but Amy Winehouse has quit hospital. Yep, following her controversial gig at Glastonbury over the weekend, Amy was ferried straight back to a London clinic by her dad Mitch, but apparently threw a huge tantrum and refused to stay put. A friend of the star said, "We feared a taste of the outside would remind her what she's missing – and that's exactly what happened." Amy was admitted to hospital two weeks ago after collapsing at her north London home, and friends say she was like a different person. Her two weekend performances, although a bit controversial because of the punch, were the best she's given in months, and we all had high hopes that she was back on the road to recovery. Alas, all her good work seems to have been for nothing. Pals say that Amy was like an "excited little girl" in the run-up to her weekend comeback, but then on Sunday, when it was all over, she flew into a rage. A friend confirmed, "Sunday was like she was on a terrible comedown from the whole thing. She kicked off and told Mitch, 'I'm climbing the walls in here, I need to get out'." Amy's dad is said to have gone along with his daughter's wishes because he fears she will disappear if he does not help her. As if all this wasn't bad news enough, it also emerged this morning that Amy's horrible husband Blakeincarcerated has been writing sexually explicit love letters to a woman who's also in prison. The woman, Melissa, is in jail on a drugs charge and wrote to Blakeincarcerated to urge him to quit his heroin addiction. To her surprise he replied, and the pair have now exchanged loads of rude letters. One, written by Blakeincarcerated, even suggested that Amy would want to join the pair for a threesome. Hmmm, can't say we're convinced by that one, Blake. Just when you think this idiot can't get any worse. Come on Amy, you know what you have to do!

Brooke’s tribute to her little brother
Former EastEnders star Brooke Kinsella spoke of her grief for her murdered brother yesterday. The distraught star begged other teenagers to bin their weapons, saying, "Please, boys and girls, put down your knives and think about the suffering they will cause." Ben Kinsella was killed after being repeatedly knifed by thugs in north London, and the grief of his family as they described him as "a true angel" was etched on all of their faces as Brooke added, "Ben was one of the kindest and gentlest boys God created. He was the 17th teenager to be killed in London this year. Now is the time to put an end to this. My family are determined to fight in his memory to make the streets safer for our children...Parents please talk to your children and encourage them to stop all this violence." Brooke also spoke of a chilling essay which Ben wrote just weeks before his death. In the short story Ben wrote: "As I stare up at my killer to be, he feels not the slightest measure of remorse at what he has just committed. Instead his dark smile sickens me in ways I couldn't imagine."

Guy meets Madonna in New York for crisis talks
Guy Ritchie has flown to New York for crisis talks with his wife Madge – after it emerged that their accountants, MGR, have been instructed to get their files in order. Despite Guy’s smiles at Heathrow Airport, his trip will undoubtedly be stressful as he tries to patch up his marriage. Sources say that Guy doesn't want to be separated from the children, but Madonna has allegedly started to plan her life away from her film director hubby already. A source said, "MGR have been warned they will have a busy time over the next few months as they go carefully through the books. They will have to prepare documents on what they own separately and what they share together so the lawyers can work out what kind of settlement they will be awarded."

Moyles making C4 pilot
Love him or loathe him, you can't deny that Chris Moyles is good for a giggle – and now he's being given a chance to showcase his talent even more. The outspoken Radio 1 DJ had struck a deal with Channel 4 to film a pilot for a new show, which will be something between a pub quiz and a chat show. Moyles impressed Channel 4 bosses when he presented Big Brother's Big Mouth recently, and they have now agreed to film a pilot for him. Chris has made many celebrity friends during his years at Radio 1, so it would be quite interesting to see who he would get on the show. What do you think? Would you like to see more of Moyles, or should he just stay on the radio?
