Madame Tussauds gave us a rare glimpse at what Amy Winehouse might look like if she were to stop using and abusing.

The famed wax museum unveiled this model of the punch happy singer today. Amy couldn't be present for this prestigious honor, because she's most likely too busy mourning the sentencing of her one true love for all eternity, Blake Fielder-Civil.

But that didn't stop her parents from showing up. After all, what's a Winehouse story without a quote from her good ol' pop, Mitch? And the word from Mitch: "Yeah, it’s great. We just said we’re going to take this one home with us and send the real one back."

Well, we can't really blame him.

Amy Winehouse's beloved Blake Incarcerated has only just begun to earn his nickname.

A London judge today sentenced the Grammy winner's husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, to 27 months behind bars as punishment for his guilty plea for assaulting a pub owner and then attempting to cover it up.

Winehouse was not present in Snaresbrook Crown Court to hear her other half's fate.

Amy Winehouse is out. Time will tell if behavioral changes are in.

A rep for the "Rehab" singer confirms to E! News that the 24-year-old was officially discharged as a patient from the London Clinic yesterday after a whirlwind stay, which included a diagnosis of early stages of emphysema and two days out to perform at various gigs around England.

"I can confirm that Amy has left the London Clinic and will be treated as an outpatient," Tracey Miller said.

Fans, beware. Here comes Amy Winehouse's latest hit.

Video has surfaced showing the 24-year-old soul diva getting into a scuffle with a concertgoer during her performance at Britain's Glastonbury music festival on Saturday.

The Grammy-winning singer appears to jab her elbow at the crowd while singing "Rehab" in the mosh pit. Seconds later, Winehouse angrily throws a couple punches.

Asked about the incident, Winehouse's rep said, "The 'lashing out' was when someone tried to grab her hair and she reacted."

What do you think? Did a fan get too close or did Amy make the first move?

Nelson Mandela's not just a moral authority, he's a miracle worker.

Tens of thousands of punters and a slew of A-list stars and musical acts gathered in London's Hyde Park Friday for a special concert honoring the South African leader's 90th birthday party. The biggest surprise of the evening came courtesy of a healthy-looking Amy Winehouse, who, despite speculation and a track record to the contrary, actually turned up as planned and delivered a hitch-free performance during the four-hour event.

Will Smith hosted the megaconcert (with ample help from wife Jada Pinkett Smith), which also counted Josh Groban, Leona Lewis, Queen, Annie Lennox, Stephen Fry, Quincy Jones, Lewis Hamilton, Simple Minds, Geri Halliwell, Razorlight and U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown among its stage-gracing guests.

At least one person is making it out of the Amy Winehouse vortex of chaos.

The pub landlord who accepted a $400,000 bribe from Winehouse's hubby and another man in exchange for dropping assault charges against them—clearly neither the best-laid nor carried out of plans—has been cleared of obstruction of justice.

The jury at Snaresbrook Crown Court found James King not guilty of the charge based on his claims that Blake Fielder-Civil and codefendant Michael Brown intimidated him into withdrawing his allegations.

Turns out Amy Winehouse's pop is the one blowing a little smoke these days.

The singer's rep is saying that the 24-year-old Brit does not have emphysema, as her father told Britain's Sunday Mirror over the weekend.

Rather, she has "early signs of what could lead to emphysema," rep Tracey Miller said Monday.

Mitch Winehouse was only speaking "out of his concern for her" when he told the press that his little girl was suffering through the early stages of the chronic respiratory disease.

UPDATE: Speaking to E! News Friday, a rep for the singer denies reports that Amy Winehouse has a life-threatening ailment.

"Our official statement from last night still stands: 'Amy has undergone more scans and tests today and we are awaiting the verdict of her doctors,' " says publicist Tracey Miller.

"I can confirm that Amy does have a chest infection, she is not coughing blood, she doesn't have TB, and she is still in the hospital undergoing more tests and following the directions of her doctors. I will let you know if we have any further updates."

Amy Winehouse appears to be just what the doctor ordered.

The troubled singer remained hospitalized overnight after suffering a mysterious fainting spell at her London home Monday and will continue to undergo tests today to determine the cause of her brief blackout.

"She's staying there for the time being," her London rep said. "They are still not quite sure what happened, and the tests were inconclusive."

Looks like the British media weren't the only ones suspicious of Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty's palling around.

Winehouse's incarcerated hubby, Blake Fielder-Civil, apparently was, too. And as a British court heard today, he was willing to put his money where his suspicions were.

A recently freed inmate from Pentonville Prison, where Fielder-Civil is currently locked up, testified in a separate case that he was offered roughly $40,000 by the Winehouse's jealous mister to "smash to pieces" the Babyshambles rocker.
