As the world mourns the loss of Amy Winehouse, her last love, Reg Traviss is strangely silent. He was seen looking distraught outside her house shortly after her death was announced. (He also looks incredibly HOT! – like he just stepped out of a Guy Ritchie movie) ) Reg and Amy dated on and off for almost a year and split before her last visit to rehab because he couldn’t tolerate her substance abuse.
It’s a really bad day when you wake up and find out Amy Winehouse died. Of course, we all half expected Amy to go this way – she hadn’t been able to get her act together for years. Her last boyfriend was Reg Traviss, but she hadn’t been seen with him lately. She will always be a true original – from her beehive down to her scuffed ballet slippers. Amy always looked like she got her fashion inspiration from Cholas in Los Angeles. All her problems, yearning for love, struggling with alcohol and drugs, were apparent in her exquisite songs. Now she’ll always be a 27 year old icon.

HERE’S an unexpected companion for Amy Winehouse. The man behind her is Russell Brand’s father. He was mostly an absentee father because Brand’s parents split up when he was a baby. Amy and Ronald Brand, a photographer, had drinks together in a London bar and were photographed leaving together.
Amy Winehouse’s exhusband Blake Fielder-Civil is probably regretting the fact that he requested no money in their 2009 divorce settlement. Living in reduced circumstances apparently doesn’t agree with him, because he was just arrested with a fake gun and $4000 worth of stolen electronics in his rented car. The loot came from a home that was burglarized while the occupants were out. To no one’s surprise, he also tested positive for drugs. So Blake is back is the pokey, where he spent most of his marriage.

In her quest for a “bad girl” image, Kesha, 23, has acquired a removable gold tooth, not unlike the gold tooth Madonna sported in the early 90’s. Back in the 80’s you could buy “gold” teeth on 42nd street for around five dollars for immediate gratification. Kesha (Tik Tok) and Taylor Momsen,17, (Pretty Reckless) are hell-bent on creating debauched rockstar images for themselves by whatever means possible. They’re terrified of being regarded as white-bread pop stars like Britney Spears. Amy Winehouse is much cooler.

Amy Winehouse went barhopping in London last night with her cute friend Tyler James and they both had their hair pumped to the max. Amy trots out Tyler (whom she insists is just a friend) when she wants to make her boyfriend jealous. In this case it’s probably Reg Traviss who will be asking her “Who was that guy?”
Much was made of the fact that Amy Winehouse ran into MIscha Barton at the popular Camden hangout The Hawley Arms the other night. The girls were observed having a drink of some kind together – although Mischa says she has given up alcohol. They both love to party, but somehow we can’t imagine these two becoming best buddies. Above they were photographed when they left – Mischa left early and was carrying a container of guacamole, and Amy didn’t get home until 11:30 A.M.

Amy Winehouse pumped up her beehive and dolled herself up in a fuchsia dress for the London premier of her boyfriend Reg Traviss’s new movie “Psychosis.” Appropriately, Reg, who wrote and directed the movie, specializes in horror and the supernatural. This particular psycho – thriller stars Charisma Carpenter and Jennifer Aniston’s ex boyfriend, Paul Sculfor. Whether Amy makes her acting debut in a Traviss production remains to be seen.
Amy Winehouse has taken the bold step of introducing her new boyfriend Reg Traviss to her parents! Naturally they could barely contain their joy at the prospect of their daughter dating a successful looking man in a suit and tie. Amy’s father Mitch was performing at a jazz club in London (well SOMEBODY in the family might as well perform) and Amy actually got up and joined him. (In the photo left to right: Mitch, Amy, Reg, stepmother Jane and Amy’s mom Janis in the back) Amy’s father commented later on Reg: “He’s a nice chap – we’ll see how it goes…” Seeing Amy’s leopard bag on the table reminds us: whatever happened to the line of accessories she was supposed to be coming out with?
What in the world is Amy Winehouse doing with this normal looking guy in a suit? No, he’s not her lawyer. Apparently she’s become very involved with film director Reg Traviss, and her friends say she has stopped drinking and doing drugs for him. Reg, kind of a dapper looking guy, directed a well-received movie in the UK called “Joy Division.” The beehive is back and Amy seems happy – let’s hope she stays that way.
