Spitzer's escort gives first TV interview

Well, she doesn't exactly conjure up an image of the typical Union Avenue night worker.

Amy Winehouse update

It's been a while since we've checked in with troubled U.K. singer Amy Winehouse, but today's pictures and story from the Daily Mail were too fun to pass up on.

First, there's Amy's crazy curly do (the beehive is gone), then there's the fascinating tidbit of her offering the assembled photographers some cheese on toast.

Add that to the early afternoon shots at a local pub, mix in some silly pictures she flashed the paps from her windows, stir with a nasty gash on her chest and voila!

It's Amy day. Another classic.

Perhaps he's not the shadow type.
