I'm Not Out of Control: Winehouse

Despite photos and reports that suggest otherwise, Amy Winehouse says she isn’t a drunken mess—wreaking havoc at a Caribbean resort is her idea of a good time. “I’m not out of control,” she tells the Daily Mail. “Yes, I’ve had a few drinks, but I’m on holiday—I’m just young and having fun.” Others however, aren’t so sure.

The troubled singer, who’s reportedly buying a villa on the island of St. Lucia, has spent her vacation stealing drinks, throwing tantrums, and holding all-night concerts. Observers say her behavior has driven away guests and prompted a visit from Dad. “We … didn’t have talks,” Winehouse maintains. “Yes, he likes to check on me—he’s my dad.” (More Amy Winehouse stories.)
