Amy Winehouse‘s tragic death this July is still being mourned by those closest to her, but it also spurned her loved ones to action. Amy’s beloved father, Mitch Winehouse, established the Amy Winehouse Foundation in her honor after her passing. Mitch is now organizing an A-list tribute concert in honor of the late ‘Back to Black’ chanteuse, with all proceeds going to the charity.

Amy Winehouse passed away in July, but her music is still very much in our hearts, as evidenced by the strong chart showing enjoyed by her recently released posthumous album ‘Lioness.’ Since Ms. Winehouse was nothing if not a diva, it’s only fitting that she’ll receive the tribute treatment during this year’s ‘VH1 Divas’ telecast.

The rumors regarding a possible movie about Amy Winehouse‘s life seem to change daily. Amy’s dad Mitch is responding to some of the misinformation, saying that a biopic about his daughter’s life is still a possibility, but that he never claimed that he wants Lady Gaga to play Amy.

Earlier this week, Amy Winehouse‘s ‘Back to Black’ was eclipsed by Adele‘s ’21′ as the top-selling British album of the 21st century. But Amy isn’t finished selling records yet: ‘Lioness: Hidden Treasures,’ a posthumously assembled collection of covers and unreleased original tracks, moved 140,000 copies in its first week, debuting at No. 1 on the British albums chart.

Amy Winehouse‘s father Mitch has made it his mission to preserve his daughter’s memory, and what better way than in a book? Since the 27-year-old British pop star died on July 23 of unknown causes, her dad has already set up the Amy Winehouse Foundation to help others like his daughter deal with substance-abuse. And now he’ll write a memoir.

We often refer to senior citizens as being in their ‘golden years,’ but Tony Bennett is taking it to a whole new level. In fact, before long, he could be in his platinum years. At the age of 87, the veteran singer is still reaching new levels of success, breaking a pair of Billboard records with the first single from his ‘Duets II’ album.

The last known studio recording Amy Winehouse did before her untimely death in July was a duet with Tony Bennett called ‘Body and Soul,’ which will be on his upcoming album ‘Duets II,’ dropping September 20. The song was recorded in March at the famed Abbey Road Studios in London, and Bennett has pledged that proceeds from the single’s sales will benefit the Amy Winehouse Foundation.

The toxicology report from Amy Winehouse’s autopsy is in. Chris Goodman, the Winehouse family spokesman, released a statement saying, “Toxicology results returned to the Winehouse family by authorities have confirmed that there were no illegal substances in Amy’s system at the time of her death. Results indicate that alcohol was present, but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in he

A report out of Britain says Lady Gaga is in talks to play Amy Winehouse in a movie about the recently-deceased singer’s life.

She may have died, but Amy Winehouse’s legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of family, friends and fans. In the wake of her death, Britain’s Daily Mail reports that Winehouse’s father, Mitch Winehouse, announced at her funeral earlier this week that a charitable foundation will be created in her memory.

Singer Keri Hilson really infuriated people in the Twitterverse when she posted a picture of herself and an Amy Winehouse look-alike with the message: “*gasp* Amy Winehouse resurrected to party w/ me!!! (seriously, uncanny resemblance).”

Just days after the tragic death of singer Amy Winehouse, the family of the 27-year-old Grammy winner now claim that she may have died from alcohol withdrawal. According to family sources, Winehouse ignored her doctors request to cut back on drinking gradually, and that her 4’11″ figure couldn’t handle such a dramatic change.
