BACK FROM BLACK DAYS: Looking curvy & healthy on hols in St Lucia last week
SHOCK: "She's a sex addict. It was like having my own private porn star," said ex.
SUNNING IT: Recovering Amy relaxes in Caribbean
WILD SEX: With Alex
THE squalid drugs-ravaged life of Amy Winehouse is today exposed in graphic detail-by the lover she took to her bed while her junkie husband was in jail.
Alex Haines tells how the singer smoked CRACK for BREAKFAST from pipes she made out of drinks bottles as she blew £3,500 a week on drugs in her darkest hours.
She was so desperate for every last bit she even frantically scraped the residue out with a SCREWDRIVER so it wouldn't be wasted.
PICS: Amy Winehouse on holiday in Caribbean
He also reveals how the once painfully thin diva was a secret BULIMIC-living on McDonalds and up to 10 Crunchie bars at a time. She even used HIS TOOTHBRUSH to make herself THROW UP afterwards.
And Alex, her former personal assistant, details their marathon romps while hubby Blake Fielder Civil was inside.
He says: "It was like having my own little porn star. Amy was so dirty-she wanted sex all the time. We did it four or five times a day and she'd even wake me up for it. She was addicted to sex like she was to drugs."
Cutting
Last week Amy-who recently completed a stint in rehab tackling her chronic drug addiction-was pictured looking remarkably fit and curvy as she relaxed on holiday on the Caribbean island of St Lucia.
But Alex thought she would DIE from her demons at the height of their fling nine months ago.
"I was my job to look after her. But it was impossible," he says. "I thought she wouldn't survive the year with all the drugs and self-harming. Cutting herself was her favourite pastime."
And even Amy, 25, was afraid her number was almost up. "She reckoned she would join the 27 club of rock stars who died at that age," reveals Alex. "She told me, 'I have a feeling I am gonna die young'."
Alex, 23, was sucked into Amy's world of despair when she turned to him for comfort as her relationship with Fielder Civil disintegrated. It was then Alex saw the true depths of her drugs problem.
He recalls: "When Amy woke up the first thing she'd ask was, 'Where's my pipe?'. She often made crack pipes by putting foil on top of plastic bottles and then burning the drug.
"While she got it going I made toast with butter and a cup of tea for her. It was her normal breakfast.
"When Amy ran out of the drug it she would cut the bottle in half and sit there on the floor completely wired, scraping the inside to get the residue with a screwdriver.
"She had to have a heroin and crack pipe near her or she freaked out. She'd keep taking drugs until she passed out. I reckon she spent £3,500 a week on them."
Amy's home in Camden, London, was a hub for drug-fuelled parties-with the singer always eager to impress her fellow addicts.
Alex recalls: "At one party Amy wanted to prove she was used to cocaine. So she did a line that was 20 CENTIMETRES LONG to show she was a big user.
"For such a small girl she had amazing drugs tolerance. It was scary what she could do."
The singer's life was further ravaged by a chronic eating disorder.
Alex explains: "Amy suffered from bulimia, which is why she looked so thin. She would have a massive McDonalds and then throw it all up in the bathroom. I found my toothbrush covered in sick, and asked her about it.
"She went really sheepish but told me she suffered from it for a long time. Several times I went into her bathroom and saw sick all over the sink.
"She lived off Crunchie bars-up to 10 at a time-packets of Haribo sweets and bottles of orange Lucozade Sport. Her heroin problems made her crave sugar."
Budding guitarist Alex-who joined Amy's team as a junior assistant manager in 2007-was seduced by the Brit Awards winner in a bedroom at music producer Mark Ronson's studio in Henley, Oxon, last March.
Amy had been working on her third album following Fielder Civil's jailing for GBH and perverting the course of justice. Alex recalls: "It was 6am. I woke up looked around and there she was. She pounced on me. We made love. Afterwards I said, 'This is gonna make things difficult,' but she replied, 'No it's not'.
"We became wrapped up in one another. When I stayed at hers I would be asleep downstairs and there would be this little girl on the bed crawling towards me waking me up for sex." But Amy could never get Blake off her mind. "She would go on about him and her being together forever straight after we made love. I sat there in disbelief. We had few bust-ups over it."
Attack
He says Amy became violent when she mixed drugs with alcohol. "When she drank with the drugs, she showed her worst side. She liked vodka with 99p supermarket tropical juice. Her behaviour became manic. She would cut herself or attack others. When she drank things got messy."
He was shocked by her self-harming. "The first time I saw her do it was after she told Blake we'd had a fling. She cut herself with scissors from shoulder to wrist." Alex reveals how her spiralling problems cost her the chance to sing the theme tune to the new Bond film. He recalls: "Mark Ronson had prepared a backing track based on David Arnold's Quantum Of Solace score. But when Amy heard it, she said, 'I want a tune James Bond would dance to. That sounds like something f***ing James Bond gets into an elevator to'."
She was ditched from the project and the track, Another Way To Die, was sung by Jack White of The White Stripes and Alicia Keys.
Amy finally dumped Alex by phone on May 19. He says: "She thought Blake would be out in June and she couldn't cope with her own guilt," says Alex, of Aylburton, Glos.
"She told me, 'Blake said we can't speak to each other any more. You know I love you to pieces but we can't see each other'. Later she apologised for hurting me and told me she loved me. I didn't hear from her again."
Now Alex-who left his job- hopes Amy will finally overcome her demons.
He says: "To me she wasn't a star, but a sweet girl with a few problems. She needed rehab-and it's great to see her getting better."
Fears she'll join 27 club
AMY is haunted by the 27 Club-an elite band of music stars who died in their prime. She told Alex she could "imagine being in that club".
27 CLUB: Jim (left) drowned and Janis (right) overdosed on heroin
Among its members are Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain.
They all died aged 27, many of them between 1969 and 1973 at the height of rock music's drink and drug experimentation.
Drowned
The Doors frontman Morrison and Stones guitarist Jones died on the same date two years apart. Jones drowned in a swimming pool on July 3, 1969. Heart failure killed Morrison in a bath in Paris two years later.
Between their deaths, Hendrix choked on his vomit after taking an overdose of sleeping pills in September 1970. Singer Joplin passed away after overdosing on heroin a month later.
In April 1994, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain committed suicide at his home in Seattle.

How vulgur that he would divulge such things. Unfortunate as all that may be it was not his plce to speak publically about her "demons" it was already quite ovious that she is battling a lot!!
She does look like aman but I hope she get better and stays that way! She is quite the individual and if for nothing else I can appreciate her uniqueness!
By nybeauty.. Posted March 22 2009 at 5:30 AM.
she look-a like-a man
By rachel.. Posted January 9 2009 at 12:09 AM.
why? how? I can't wrap my head around how she could possibly be so crass, low class and unbelievably ugly. Alex, you're a decent guy, run while you can.
By rachel.. Posted January 9 2009 at 12:08 AM.
Amy Amy Amy... Sing us some nice tunes, sing us a lovely song again, well ya?
By clementine.. Posted January 4 2009 at 7:13 AM.
She's right about the James Bond track. Good career move there. But when is she going to start making some real music? I'm getting sick of all these songs about songs from her.
By Megan.. Posted January 2 2009 at 1:11 PM.
hope amy pulls through and gets better.It's 2009 now, hopefully she'll make a fresh start and leave this all behind her. I dont think anyone should be writting amy off yet, everyone thought britney would die, but she is stil her today and better than ever. hopefully amy will be aswell.god bless her xx
By Anonymous.. Posted January 2 2009 at 3:12 AM.
If they had separate bathrooms and Alex saw "the sick" on HER bathroom sink...what what she doing with HIS toothbrush? Too many holes in this story. If she is always cutting on herself, where are all the scars? It seems as though Alex is exaggerating the details and telling half-truths.
By David.. Posted December 31 2008 at 1:45 PM.
I'm sorry she looks like someone who had a sex change. Butt ugly. For the life of me I dont see any attractiveness or talent in this "woman"
By GOSSIPGIRL.. Posted December 31 2008 at 2:44 AM.
So what happened to the Confidentiality Agreement? Surely an employer, Amy, is entitled to keep their private life private!
By marissaX.. Posted December 29 2008 at 6:32 PM.
ALEX, if you're reading this, let me say that you may have just saved her life. Now professionals know exactly what she's doing, how much, and when.
Addicts who are in denial will never be exact on their usage to make it look like a big thing.
Now that she admittingly feels she'll be part of the 27 club, i'm sure she'll be on supervision. You're a hero and you don't even know it. She's going through what alot of people go through at that age.
Around 25, the body's chemistry goes through alot of changes and it can have an impact on the mind. David Berkowitz was one of them. He claims his dog was talking to him. It wasn't a dog, it was his brain releasing auditory messages and he interpreted it as a dog telling him to kill.
Basically its a form of schizophrenia that usually lasts around 8 months. Hopefully a psychiatrist will read this.
By SAM.. Posted December 29 2008 at 4:06 PM.
Someone would really have to be hard up to sleep with the likes of her. She is disgusting. Hell I'd rat her out for a few thousand why not.
By dondell.. Posted December 29 2008 at 3:24 PM.
She's probably is going to make it but not thanks to you, you talentless 2 pence scumbag. How does it feel to sell out for a couple of thousand? December is kind of an expensive month, isn't it?
By john.. Posted December 29 2008 at 12:07 PM.
This is very sad. She is truly a wonderful singer and artist who is lost to addiction. I hope she gets well as her music is powerful and creative.
By jazzwoman.. Posted December 29 2008 at 1:53 PM.
Horribly pitiful/ugly.
Looks like death walking.
Sex with her, ouldn't want to be in the same room as her.
Wasted self loathing talent.
By Lida.. Posted December 29 2008 at 1:10 PM.
Chivalry is dead.
Cad$ abound in soft target Amy's life.
Where have all the brave, honest, loving men gone?
What about understanding, support & taking a stand for your relationship.
In my day, if you were intimate with someone, it was private between you & them.

Amy Winehouse is going to get better!
By maryanne from Sydney.. Posted December 29 2008 at 4:20 AM.

By tra.. Posted December 29 2008 at 12:34 AM.
Everyone has to get or hit bottom to stop and you have to want to stop cant be your doing it for family, kids ecetra, you have to want to stop and do it for you or in the long run you will die from it
By Debbie.. Posted December 28 2008 at 8:06 PM.
Good luck to her, she looks much healthy, if he cared, why is he selling his story to make a quick buck......................Go Amy x
By dee.. Posted December 28 2008 at 8:08 PM.
If she really is on the path to getting better, what kind of friend sells his story to the papers? Does he really think this will help her??
Look at her friends in Tyler James and her friend Juliette... they probably have more to tell than anyone but they are classy dignified people who respect their friendships and keep schtum.
Guess you can't buy dignity hey Alex?
By Fiona.. Posted December 28 2008 at 6:22 PM.
She looks gorgeous in some of thoes holiday pics. I hope she can get past the seriouse drugs and self harm and love herself more then being high. Its hard to deal with all the BS but she seams head strong enough to pull it off with a little direction and guidence.
By candy.. Posted December 28 2008 at 6:20 PM.
One would have to be EXTREMELY addicted to sex to find that sexually attractive! It's not exactly rocket science.
By Grace Thames.. Posted December 28 2008 at 6:00 PM.
If he cared for her that much he would keep his fat money grabbing gob shut - he like all the others that sell their kiss and tell stories show total lack of respect and sensitivity to the person concerned. Does it not cross him mind that selling stories like these only lead the celeb back down hill again.
Amy - you are a bright talented young woman and you deserve to be back there and remembered for being a fantastic artist - take your time - you are young - being in a hurry has taken its toll on you once already - we can wait for your future material and those velveteen tones again - you popped up out of nowhere once before and transformed our lives and you can do it again - we await your recovery and wish you well in the process. Good luck hun x
By Salamander.. Posted December 28 2008 at 6:10 PM.
I saw Amy here in St.Lucia, she looked happy and relaxed...yes, everybody deserves a second chance...I hope people will leave her alone enough to allow her to heal
By Alex.. Posted December 28 2008 at 5:18 PM.

By maxine.. Posted December 28 2008 at 2:20 PM.
She used to be quite pretty, and could be again if she had those horrible tattoos removed.I think she is talented, and hope she gets herself together.
By jenny.. Posted December 28 2008 at 1:15 PM.
who could be so desperate to have sex with her, i'd sooner go without than have that
By shadow.. Posted December 28 2008 at 1:08 PM.
I wonder what Amy's parents must feel when they read this c***p. If Amy survives another year or so, then we will no doubt be reading how 'ashamed' she was of her past, but I don't think we will sadly. She looks and acts in a way no man in his 'right mind' would go near, unless he was paying for it.
By Michele.. Posted December 28 2008 at 12:31 PM.
I am from the west indies and news of the world keep saying she has curves. I am not sure how you British define curves. But what I am looking at is termed straight and shapeless. Afterall we were thought the queens english at school so I may be wrong.
Given all that I love this womans music and she needs to clean herself up. I would not even think about her looks once she is beautiful from inside
By spicegirl.. Posted December 28 2008 at 12:53 PM.
i would love none stop sex with amy winehouse if she got rid of the drugs and her tatoos please amy
By richard.. Posted December 28 2008 at 12:40 PM.
Amy was right about the Bond track wasn't she? The Alisha Keys and Jack White song is dire.
By Emily.. Posted December 28 2008 at 12:16 PM.
Good morning all you wounderful News of the world readers best Sunday paper ever , and always a pleasure to read.
Amy yes , she looks much better and with her abundance of talent , the most talented musician since the Bay city rollers as im sure you will agree.
I know she will produce the goods and make a record breaking album.
So keep up the good work Amy you have talent and great furure.
Have a nice day from Studini.
By studini.. Posted December 28 2008 at 11:17 AM.
The only bit of weight she seems to have put on is in her face. She actually looks quite good in the last picture , sat on the grass. I think it's coz she's scrubbed of makeup. She now needs to have the dirty tattoos removed, get a proper hairdo, learn how to be ladylike, kick the fags, put on some more weight, and get a stylist, and only THEN could she be called attractive. It's never going to happen though! Not in a million years.

keep taking the drugs i would if i had the money.

By Chris J.. Posted December 28 2008 at 10:48 AM.
She is ill with a drug addiction. He was employed "to look after her". He clearly didn't do a very good job.... Can't blame him for making a bob or two out of it now... That's trhe media for you
Perhaps the papers could provide a bit of balance by reporting on the many celebreties who do not have these sorts of problems. Perhaps you could pay thousnads to those who just get on with their lives I'm sure the majority of these sorts of people would donate most of thgis income to a good cause.
By micky.. Posted December 28 2008 at 10:50 AM.
at least shes gettin her act togeva n putin sum weight bak on she myt b able to stand on stage for more than an hour now!
By michael brandrick.. Posted December 28 2008 at 10:16 AM.
dear amy, i dont know what to say except always live in hope, have faith in your self, give a little to charity,take only prescribed drugs from professional people usually the very best come with the NHS and stay in the carribbean as long as it takes. dont let any one take advantage of you, keep in touch with your dad always ask his advise over most things he seems to love you a grat deal, the greatest sex is when it is taken with and given equally without pressure from either party and most of all when you are both madly in love with one another equally. you are looking absolutley fantastic in your pics i wish you the very best, slow recovery is best, dont spend too much time in the sun, skin cancer later on in life, dont drink too much especially if you are on prescription drugs, take care and look forward to a better 2009. if you are bipolar it can take upto 5 years to diagnose it and then a while to sort out the best medication for you and the best in the professionals in the world work for the NHS there will be a cure for all these terrible mental illnesses within a decade and you will still be a beautifull young lady with the whole world at your feet. love mick b

If I could invent a cleansing cream that successfully cleanse Amy from top to bottom, I would be a millionaire!
Sadly, she is beyond cleansing!
NB Don't delude yourself with dying GREAT. Die young probably, not great though.
I love to show sympathy; however, this woman seems to be hell-bent on self-centred destruction. It's nothing but me, me, me ... She could have done so much for herself and others!
By Agnes Lam.. Posted December 28 2008 at 8:51 AM.
some people dont understand when they are well off. lock the stupid tart up. if you have ever seen a friend die of a over dose you no this will save her life

When you lay with dogs, you wind up with friends like Alex. Moral of this lesson, don't do drugs and you won't wind up with people that exploit and use you, especially when you're famous and you decide to dump these losers.
Stay alive in 2009, Mrs. Winehouse-Fielder-Civil!
