London, England - Refusing to acknowledge, much less apologize for her drug use, racist and homophobic comments, or even bothering to defend her offensive comments, citing artistic license, no, no, no, Amy Winehouse instead denies the incident ever occurred, even though her husband recorded it using his video camera.
"Amy Winehouse emphatically denies that, that is her making those offensive comments on that tape," said a spokesman for Winehouse. "She has no memory of the incident therefore it never happen."
However, as the video footage reveals, Amy Winehouse can clearly be seen and heard talking trash about a segment of her fan base: Blacks, Asians and Gays. All to the tune of that children's classic song, "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes," while having sex and doing drugs with her husband in a crack den.
Meanwhile, Winehouse's mother came to her daughter's defense, claiming that she is to blame for the incident.
"It's all my fault," said Winehouse's mother. "When she was a little girl in rehab I'd cheer her up by changing the lyrics of popular children's songs to make them funny. It was all pretty harmless really. Like we'd change the lyrics to 'Puff the Magic Dragon' to 'Puff on the Magic then Drag on It' or 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' to 'Mary Had a Little Lamb'. Well, we didn't have to change the lyrics on that last one, just used suggestive voice inflections. But I assure you if you were offended by what she did with 'Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes' then you haven't been offended until you've heard Amy's version of 'Mary Had a Little Lamb,' even the clean and sober one."
Winehouse's mother went on to claim that her daughter also suffers from short term memory loss and that she has to remind Winehouse that she is a Grammy Award winner, among other things, on a daily bases.

EASTPORT, Maine — Hollywood stars? Maybe.
But an independent movie being shot in this seaside community? Guaranteed!
Filming on the $250,000 film titled “Ditch Digger” is expected to start this fall.
Writer-director James Stiles, 38, said recently he expects a 30-day shooting schedule.
The fact that it has lower budget means nothing. Over the years there have been other low-budget films that have had a national release, including “The Full Monty” and “Swingers.”
The writer-director has ties to Maine. He grew up in Augusta and studied at Rockport College. He owns New England Casting. “New England Casting is the biggest casting agency north of Boston. We have been around since 2002 and have over 1,000 people in our database,” he said.
Last year he directed a short film titled “Trailer Trash” that led to his meeting supporters who are helping bankroll this film. “It was a neat little film,” he said.
Stiles, who said his heroes are Stephen King, Alfred Hitchcock and Steven Spielberg, wrote the horror-thriller flick. He talked about the plot. “A man, riddled with guilt over his role in a 15-year-old murder, is forced by the ‘ghost’ of the victim to return to his small-town roots to reconnect with his estranged family, confront his childhood friends and find the body of a girl who deserves a much better end than the one she got,” the writer-director said.
The young director said he had planned to begin filming in May, but recently got a job as second assistant director on a $20 million movie that is being shot in New York this summer. That has delayed the filming of “Ditch Digger.”
Stiles is in the process of trying to recruit some Hollywood talent to star in his film.
He said he was talking with another Mainer, Rachel Nichols, who is a friend of his. She now is making two Hollywood films. “She was in the movie ‘P2’ with Wes Bentley in 2007, which came out around Christmastime,” he said. “She is now filming ‘GI Joe’ and ‘Star Trek.’ Those are due out in 2009.”
