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.”

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.”

Mariah Carey May Edge Out Cheryl Cole For Spot At X Factor Judging Table

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 ­amazing 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.”

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 ­audience."

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 Furious About Getting Dropped From The Hangover Sequel

Posted on Mon Oct 25th, 2010 9:50am PDT       By X17 Staff

melsmadhangover.jpg 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!

Rumor has it Xtina is already rebounding from the downfall of her five-year marriage with none other than BFF Nicole Richie's brother-in-law, Benji Madden.

Benji, who previously dated Aussie pop-star Sophie Monk and former Richie BFF Paris Hilton, has been single (and sexy) for a while, but could he be looking to settle down? Or is this just a rebound fling?

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.
