Amy Winehouse is getting classy for the British clothing label, Fred Perry. I know ... who knew Ms. Winehouse could look this fresh-faced?
Even Amy was surprised to land the modeling gig. She says:
"I knew exactly what I wanted and I love Fred Perry so much. I was honoured that they would even, like, 'Do you want to come and do a line?' Me, like, me? Fred Perry is my be-all-and-end-all. I've always loved it, always worn it, it feels like a living dream. I'm not really skinny but I'm tiny and I couldn't get anything because they didn't do a size six."
In case you're having a hard time believing she's a size six in the British sizing chart ... in the U.S., that's the equivalent to one size bigger than a zero.
Work it, girl!

Evan Rachel Wood graces the cover of
Nylon magazine’s November 2010 issue, and the
True Blood hottie chats about her ex-boyfriend Marilyn Manson, George Clooney, and her dream role as Janis Joplin.
So what does 23-year-old Rachel have to say about her 41-year-old former flame? “[Marilyn] had a hand in raising me! Oh, I’m always gonna love that guy. He’s a genius, he’s an amazing artist, we’re still friends. Some things just aren’t meant to be.â€Â
On George Clooney, ERW says, “He goes, ‘You’re really good at going from innocent to sexy in the drop of a hat,’ and I was like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about!†So what about her dream role? “I wanna play Janis Joplin. Can I just claim that now please?…
Across the Universe is not how I sing - that was very pretty. I sing more like Janis, rough and loud.â€Â

Even though Simon Cowell has been championing British
X Factor judge Cheryl Cole for a spot on the US version, Mariah Carey may push her out of the running.
Fox is apparently already in negotiations with the possibly preggers singer to sit next to Simon Cowell and Nicole Scherzinger at the judges' table when the show premieres next summer, reports the
Mirror.
Cowell said, “Look, I’ve said I’d love Cheryl out there but whether it will happen, who knows? Mariah Carey would be an ÂÂamazing addition to the US show. And she’s exactly the right calibre of star that we want for the show. I can’t say more because it’s too early and I can’t say. But there will be surprises.â€Â
And it seems like Cheryl will be getting an unpleasant surprise if Fox can work out a deal with Carey.
“The Fox executives are totally against Cheryl joining the panel," said a source. "Simon has put her forward and is trying to persuade them she’s perfect for the job. But they’re saying that together with her accent being difficult to understand, and nobody knowing who she is, she doesn’t have the star qualities to draw in an ÂÂaudience."
Plus, with superstars J.Lo and Steven Tyler joining the
AI panel, they'll have to bring out the big guns to compete!

Mel Gibson is reportedly fuming at producers of
The Hangover sequel for dropping him from the film.
"He doesn't understand why Mike Tyson, a drug user who turned his life around, was given a chance while Mel was kicked to the curb. Everybody deserves a second chance," a source tells the
NY Post.
Gibson was set to play a Bangkok tattoo artist in the follow up to the hit 2009 comedy, but crew and cast members reportedly objected to working with him, so he was given the boot. Mel's rep (who, oddly enough, represents Neeson as well), issued a statement confirming that Neeson will replace Gibson "pending clearance of cast and crew background check."

Well, we know he's got a thing for blondes!

Course, sources tell us that Christina's been playing for the other team since her breakup, with another Richie friend,
Samantha Ronson, so we're not too sure about this one.

With Halloween just one week away, moviegoers wanted to get their freak on just a little bit earlier ... sending
Paranormal Activity 2 straight to the top of the box office with $41.5 million.
The sequel, which made history by being the best horror film debut ever, was produced for only $3 million. In addition to raking in the money, both critics and audiences are giving the scary flick great reviews.

Paranormal Activity opened in just 12 theaters and pulled in over $77-thousand.
For anyone who doubted the success of this franchise, Paramount PIctures is now laughing all the way to the bank!
