Amy Winehouse: Puffin’ On Banana Peels

Enjoying yet another day on the sun-soaked shores of St. Lucia, Amy Winehouse was spotted walking along on the Caribbean beach yesterday (April 5).

The “You Know I’m No Good” songstress was joined by a few unidentified friends as she sauntered around, sporting a Nike sports bra and cutoff shorts. Amy is said to be recording her new album while staying on the Caribbean island.



In related news, Winehouse may be striving to be drug free, but that hasn’t stopped her from enjoying a local custom - smoking banana peels!

An inside source revealed, “Amy wandered onto a private porch on Cariblue Beach and got chatting to a group of locals who were smoking banana skin. She made sure there wasn’t anything really bad in them because she’s being so good now. She loved it and has taken to drying her own peel in the sun and smoking it in the evening.”

Lady GaGa’s Eats Fresh Suhi At Night Club

She’s always had a flair for the obscene, and Lady GaGa really cut loose during a night out clubbing in New York City.

The “Just Dance” songstress seemed to really take a liking to fellow entertainer Lady Starlight while blowing off some steam at St. Jerome’s night club.




GaGa got pretty up-close and personal with the goth-themed, fishnet-clad gal, oblivious of the paparazzo snapping up pics.

On a less scandalous note, Lady GaGa has scored her second #1 single in a row with “Poker Face. It’s been almost ten years since a singer hit the top of the Billboard charts with her first two singles. The last chanteuse to take the honor was Christina Aguilera with “Genie in a Bottle” and “What a Girl Wants.”

Rihanna Lands in Barbados

Following a night out with friends in NYC the previous evening, Rihanna opted to get back to her homeland for the weekend - as she was spotted arriving at Grantley Adams International Airport in Barbados on Friday (April 3).

The “Umbrella” songstress chatted on her cell phone upon arrival, then making her way out to an awaiting car alongside a female friend.



Meanwhile, recent reports tell that Rihanna recently toasted a new magazine cover and the single life at a weekend party at Los Angeles restaurant Giorgio’s.

A source tells, “People close to Rihanna have drilled it into her head that if she stays with Chris her career will be over. At the dinner party there were about 10 toasts made, including one to the fact she’s about to land the cover of a major fashion magazine!!

Rihanna: Out to Dinner in NYC

Satisfying her appetite for a gourmet meal, Rihanna was spotted out to dinner in New York City last night (April 2).

The “Take a Bow” babe looked a bit leery of the paparazzi presence as she exited the restaurant, sporting a cropped black jacket, white top, distressed jeans, and black heels.



And it sounds like her decision to leave abusive boyfriend Chris Brown in the dust is a popular choice, not just with her fans but with close friends as well.

A source told press, “People close to Rihanna have drilled it into her head that if she stays with Chris her career will be over. At the dinner party [this past Sunday in LA] there were about 10 toasts made, including one to the fact she’s about to land the cover of a major fashion magazine.”

According to Us magazine, the couple called it quits “after a nasty fight broke out at his house last night and cops were called...[when] Shanna started freaking out and acting irrational.”





“Travis confronted Shanna about her having an affair with Gerard Butler while he was in the hospital recovering. [He] just wants to focus on his music and his children right now. He is done with her drama,” the Us insider reveals.

Confirming the split, Barker’s rep tells, “After surviving the plane crash his driving force in life is the love he has for his kids. He is tired of all other drama and is ready to move on.”

Meanwhile, Moakler’s rep adds, “They did break up but Shanna never cheated on Travis while he was in the hospital. Furthermore, Shanna is tired of playing out their personal relationship in the press.”

Earlier in the day, Kim was all about stimulating the sales ledger at her own store, purchasing several items at the Dash boutique in Calabasas.

Still needing more retail therapy, the “Disaster Movie” babe made her way to the Westfield Mall in Woodland Hills to spend some more cash.

Paris Hilton and Brittany Flickinger: BFFs No More

She got a quick boost of star power when she won “Paris Hilton’s My New BFF,” but not it seems Brittany Flickinger is a thing of the past.

According to a report, Miss Hilton has kicked Brit to the curb after feeling like she was being used by the wannabe celebrity.





A source told press, “In fact, they haven’t spoken in two months. All that girl wanted was the free trips, the goodie bags, staying at Paris’ mansion and the parties and clubs.”

The insider continued, “She was desperate for money. She was another one of these girls using Paris to get famous. We’ve seen it happen a million times. In January at Sundance, Paris realized everything everyone was telling her was the truth.”

Despite having a bad experience the first time around, Paris is jumping back into the reality TV circle with a new season of “BFF” that she’s currently filming.

The “Bromance” hunk was joined by a few friends as he arrived at the club, looking cool and casual in a black baseball cap, black shirt, distressed jeans, and black Converse All-Stars.





Also in the house was R&B singer Rihanna, who just may be showing some interest in Mr. Jenner after a telltale dinner out earlier this week.

On Wednesday night (March 25), Brody was reportedly the object of Rihanna’s affection as they were both spotted eating separately at Nobu restaurant.

According to an eyewitness, the “Take a Bow” songstress was “smiling and flirting” with a group of guys that included Jenner - although other insiders are reporting that it’s actually Brody’s pal, Frankie Delgado, who caught the Barbadian beauty’s eye.

Continuing along with her touring ways, Lady GaGa was busy performing at the House of Blues in Chicago, Illinois on Tuesday night (March 24).

“My name is Lady Gaga and I’ve got no money because I’ve spent it all on my show,” she told the crowd. “But tonight, Windy City, I feel beautiful and dirty rich.”





And it sounds as if the “Paparazzi” singer put on quite a show for the packed house, performing in a variety of outfits including scantily-clad leotards and a plastic bubble dress.

One of the show’s highlights was when GaGa showed off her skills during “an acoustic and showtunes-esque” rendition of her hit song “Poker Face” on a piano - with GaGa even using her feet to play the instrument throughout the hit tune.

Fergie Reaches Her Weight Loss Goal

Keeping up on her physical fitness, Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson was spotted out with her personal trainer in Los Angeles on Wednesday (March 25).

Though the Black Eyes Peas singer had been at her daily routine for an hour, she hadn’t even broken a sweat as she walked along while offering up a smile for paparazzi on-hand.



Nonetheless, Fergie has recently reached her goal of dropping 15 pounds which she gained for the movie “Nine,” which she worked on late last year.

“I’m finally back to the weight that I was before the film. It’s taken me forever!” the 34-year-old tells In Touch. “I have a trainer. I started doing it myself. I didn’t lose all of it for the wedding, but I fit into my dress, so I was happy. Now I’m just trying to sculpt and get ready for the tour, get my stamina up.”

Talking about her recently dyed brunette locks, Fergie adds, “I’ve never been a brunette. I’m married, I’m coming back with the Black Eyed Peas – I wanted to do something different.”

Miley Cyrus Talks ‘Hannah Montana’ Movie

Coming up next month, Miley Cyrus’ new flick “Hannah Montana: The Movie” will make its way into theaters. And in a recent interview, the 16-year-old explained that the film isn’t her swan song with the Disney character.

Miley told press, “This movie was never meant to be the end of Hannah Montana. The thing is, a lot of people put where the show’s future lays in my hands — and it’s not up to me. It’s up to Disney and whether they want more episodes, and we hope that they do.”




But facing reality, Miss Cyrus has come to terms with the fact that her “Hannah” days may be coming to a close. “It’s just an honor for people to be able to relate to me and my music — and not so much the character anymore. I can’t be Hannah Montana forever. I have to have something after this. I can’t do this when I’m 30.”

And not filming the show has given Miley a chance to reconnect with her personal life. “It’s, like, the first time I’ve seen all my friends in seven months. It’s hard, man. With all the stuff that goes on with this business, I only want to do something if I absolutely love it.”

The “Dirty Dancing” stud worked with the late actress in the film “Waking Up in Reno” and gave a heartfelt statement to press regarding her passing.




He said, “It is such a great loss to this community to lose an actress and person such as Natasha. Gifts like her don’t come along very often. It’s a rare thing in this industry to have someone with so much talent, beauty, and dedication and yet is imbued with such humility.”

Swayze continued, “I know for me and many other people, the world will be a different place without her. My heart goes out to Liam [Neeson, her husband] and his two boys, but I’m sure that Natasha’s light is shining down on them.”
