Amy Winehouse Launching A Greeting Card Line
Well, this is different...
Celebrities typically start out with a perfume line - but not Amy Winehouse. Instead, she is launching a range of greetings cards.
The troubled singer has signed a deal to use images and lyrics from her award-winning 'Back To Black' album on a series of stationery.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper:
"The bosses at EMI are keen to keep the cash cow churning out the money.
"The first item in the Winehouse range will be wrapping paper with the chorus of 'Rehab' emblazoned all over it."The Amy-branded cards are classy too. 'You Know I'm No Good' is best for heartfelt apologies and 'Back To Black', with an appropriate wreath, will be the respectful response to a bereavement."
While the venture has been attacked for being in poor taste, Amy's publishers insist they have had a great response from the public for the idea.
Jonathan Channon, EMI Music Publishing Europe vice president said:"We are looking to create innovative revenue streams from our songs with mainstream retailers and the Amy wrapping paper and gift cards received a very positive response. These are songs which already have a great resonance with the public."
Amy is currently living in St Lucia, where she is working on her much-delayed third album.
What do you think? Would you buy a greeting card from Amy's line? Will her pictures be on them? LOL! I actually can't wait to see them. Hope they hit the States.

Well this is... weird. I wouldn't buy an Amy Winehouse greeting card.
Toyota Motor Corp. got 180,000 orders for the new Prius hybrid in Japan in just a month, far surpassing its target of 10,000 vehicles in monthly sales, the automaker said Friday.
Oil prices rose to near $72 a barrel on Friday amid concerns that massive U.S. fiscal spending will spark inflation down the road, making oil and other http://www.heap.com commodities attractive investment alternatives.
1. Would you eat from a http://www.bland.net table of left overs?
Given the current state of the economy, here's a quick job plug for anyone interested and qualified. At the Drizzle Developer Day on Friday, I got to meet Adrian Otto from Rackspace. Rackspace has a cloud offering (think Aamazon EC2) that's called Mosso and is willing to employ full time developers who spend all their time working on Drizzle. Here's what he sent to the mailing list. I was speaking with Eric Day at the developer http://www.bawden.info conference, and I mentioned...

I wouldn't buy her greeting cards, simply because the money would probably go towards her disgusting drug habits. Why support THAT?

If a loved one died and someone gave me an Amy Winehouse card, I'd shove it down their throat.

Pretty tongue in cheek comment there. I'm gonna call shenanigans on this announcement.

I'm pretty sure that her cards will be embellished with cigarette ashes, blood stains and whatever is in that beehive of hers. disgusting! I'll stick to making my own, thanks!

classy and Amy Winehouse just do not belong in the same description. I love her music, her voice, etc...however, this has to be one of the worst decisions in taste EVER. I would be surprised if this idea even came from her though....just milking the cash cow
Eww, is that coke bloat (look at her lower stomach)...cause with all the drugs she does there is no way in hell she could be pregnant. RIGHT?

That's the most random thing I've heard all day. I'd only buy one if they're non-Amy related.
