Winehouse Cleans Up Nicely As She Faces Assault Charges
A stunning Amy Winehouse cleaned up her act when she appeared in court in London. The case stems from a September 2008 incident when 27-year-old Sherene Flash accused Winehouse of hitting her after she approached Winehouse for a photo op.

The judge, however, acknowledged that he could not be certain that the “assault” wasn’t an accident on Winehouse’s part, and dismissed all charges. A subdued Winehouse was dressed in business attire while in court, but immediately changed into a black leather jacket and skinny black jeans before even leaving the courthouse. Hmmm, hopefully this is just a wardrobe change and not indicative of Amy returning to her old ways.

Positively New Years Resolutions: Celebrity Edition
It’s now officially 2009, and you know what that means: New Year’s resolutions. But, we aren’t the only ones who make resolutions – celebrities do too. Most probably want to lose weight or quit smoking like most people do; but, here’s Positively Celebrity’s ideas for how celebrities can improve their lives and careers in 2009.

Expectant moms like Jennifer Garner and “Grey’s Anatomy’s” Chyler Leigh:
Name babies normal names instead of the crazy baby names of 2008 like Ashlee Simpson’s son, Bronx Mowgli, and Gwen Stefani’s son, Zuma Nesta Rock.
Screen Actors Guild members and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers:
Come to a resolution regarding DVD residuals and online video so there will not be another strike like the 100-day writer’s strike in late 2007 and early 2008 that halted production of scripted shows and brought an onslaught of tacky reality shows.

Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan:
Follow Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet’s lead in “Revolutionary Road” by reuniting one of America’s favorite on-screen couples.

Robert Pattinson and Zac Efron:
Take advantage of your fortunate successes of starring in 2008’s “Twilight” and “High School Musical 3” by not screwing up like many other young newly minted movie stars. Ahem Shia LaBeouf and Lindsay Lohan.

The “Friends” cast:
Reunite for a successful big-screen adaptation of their show like the women of “Sex and the City” did in 2008.

Shows like “Heroes” and “Grey’s Anatomy”:
Cut the convoluted and crazy storylines and remind us why we initially loved them.

Mike Myers, Al Pacino, Meg Ryan, Amy Winehouse, and Janet Jackson:
Plan a comeback for 2009. The kind of comebacks that Robert Downey Jr., Mickey Rourke, Tom Cruise, and Britney Spears all enjoyed in 2008.

Long time couples like Fergie and Josh Duhamel, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard, Amy Adams and Darren Legallo, and Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ross McCall:
Get married in 2009 and upstage the 2008 nuptials of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, and Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds.

Amy Winehouse didn’t show up at a performance in Paris on Friday night, reps stating she was too sick to perform.

Here’s the thing: That just might be true, especially if reports are accurate that she does indeed have emphysema, and if it’s taken a turn for the worse.
But here’s the other thing: one of Amy’s reps is reported as saying (I’m paraphrasing here), ‘It ain’t serious enough to go to the hospital. She’s just in bed and can’t sing.’ To which I say: BOGUS! The rest of us report in for duty when we’re “under the weather.”
Get with the program, Amy! People pay a LOT to see you make an arse of yourself onstage – and you have an obligation not to disappoint.” On the other hand, if by chance you really are sick and end up in the hospital, then disregard anything written here.

loads, playing my guitar, making music and writing letters to my husband
every day.” Her family has also expressed the hopes that she will take
some time off to get her affairs in order.
Fans hope she’ll be back in top form sooner rather than later.
