Winehouse sacks lover

Alex Haines, assistant to Amy Winehouse's manager, has reportedly been sacked by Metropolis after allegedly being filmed taking drugs.

Yeah, that headline might need a 'sort of' and an 'alleged' to be completely true. Alex Haines, the assistant of Amy Winehouse's manager, who was recently rumoured to be having an affair with the singer, has been sacked by management company Metropolis after allegedly being filmed taking drugs.

A source told the Daily Mirror: "Alex was asked to resign. The last thing Amy needs hanging around her are more [drug] users. Alex was supposed to help her and he crossed the line. Alex was a good friend to Amy but he caused massive rows for her with Blake. He couldn't stand hearing they were sleeping together".

A spokesman for Winehouse added: "We can confirm that Alex is no longer working for Metropolis or for Amy Winehouse".
