Amy Winehouse's mother has told reporters that she thinks her daughter will successfully overcome her demons, relaunch her career, and defy critics who assumed she was heading for an early grave. Janis Winehouse told the Daily Mail: "I don't think she's totally lost control. She's a girl who lives on the edge; she toys with it. But she has an awareness of it, too - and that will save her in the end. Maybe it's because I'm her mother, but I think Amy will have a resurrection, and everyone will say: 'I thought she was going to kill herself - but here she is'".
Elsewhere in Winehouse news, Amy has appeared in a YouTube video with fellow "troubled pop star" Pete Doherty in which the two singers can be seen playing with a litter of baby mice, one of which they compare to Johnny Borrell. Winehouse then provides voices for two of the mice, who deliver a message to the singer's incarcerated husband Blake Fielder-Civil - "Blake please don't divorce Amy, she loves you" said one, adding "wait my big brother wants to say something". Amy then makes the other mouse say: "If you divorce her you'll have me to deal with. I'm only a day old but I know what love is". Top stuff.

Elsewhere in Doherty news, Pete is reportedly keen to start seeing his son on a more regular basis, and is hoping to convince five year old Astile's mother Lisa Moorish that he is getting off the drugs for real this time. One of those 'sources' told the Mail On Sunday: "Lisa kept Pete away from Astile because of his drug habit. But she cares very deeply for both of them and Lisa wants to believe that Pete really has kicked his habit so he can enjoy a real relationship with his son".
