The only thing more famous than Amy Winehouse’s music are her notorious run-ins with the law and her addiction to drugs, cigarettes and alcohol. Now, all that has changed. Ever since Winehouse started dating film director Reg Traviss, the troubled songstress has had to make a choice: either she loses the drugs and hard-partying lifestyle, or she loses her man. Fortunately for her health, she has decided to continue her relationship and quit drinking and smoking.
Apparently, Winehouse has been keeping her promises. According to one of Winehouse’s friends, “She is totally transformed. I am so proud of her. She has stopped smoking completely. Reg has sorted her out. She drank Virgin Mary cocktails all night, not a single alcoholic drink.” Other sources close to the singer have commented on how this is the happiest Winehouse has ever been, and how she is completely in love with her new boyfriend.
Another benefit of Amy’s new-found sobriety is her ability to turn her attention back to her music. She has said that she has new music coming out soon, and she will be “fit and healthy to promote it.” It will be interesting to see the change in styles between the old Back to Black Winehouse, and the angelic, sparkly-clean Winehouse. (Perhaps the first time anyone has ever called Amy Winehouse “angelic.” Ever.)
But how long can this last? Amy Winehouse didn’t become notorious for her bad-girl lifestyle by doing things in moderation… Do you really think that this new relationship means the end of the naughty Winehouse? And will this help or hinder her upcoming record sales? In my opinion, only time will tell until the real Amy Winehouse will re-emerge from her shell, finally getting back to normal.
