Soul singer Amy Winehouse might collaborate with music producer Mark Ronson this year on a holiday album. Ronson told Rolling Stone magazine’s Web site that he and Winehouse have discussed working on a record with Hanukkah songs on one side and Christmas songs on the flip side. According to Ronson, Winehouse has written tunes with such titles as “Kosher Kisses” and “Alone Under the Mistletoe.” A little religion might be a good influence on the troubled songstress, who last year spent time in rehab and had run-ins with the law, and who continues to make tabloid headlines with reports of illicit drug use.

She should spend a winter in Birobidzhan. Cold weather is good for healthy living. She could go skiing cross country which promotes a good appetite - she looks kind of skinny and emaciated. http://savejewsfund.blogspot.com/
They tried to make me lay Tz'fellin, and I said no, no no…. Back to black (‘nuff said) You know that I’m no good .. but on the other shoulder, there’s the good angel. ajcwerfel@yahoo.com
She's back in rehab and never off the front page of British tabloid scandal sheets-- recently filmed secretly at work "playing" a crack pipe, just before she was due in court as a witness in a case where her new hubby is accused of assault and perverting the course of justice. Amy's life is a train wreck. My guess is recording Hannukah ditties is one of the last things on her mind at present. She needs prayers.
It is so sad to look at the pics before and after Amy Winehouse got into the anorexic, substance-abusing spiral: http://tinyurl.com/34jzx7
Give her a good bowl of golden chickensoup, poor gal. So she will be able to write only the second Hanukkah song, after Tom Lehrer's "I spend Hanukkah in Santa Monica".
