Amy Winehouse spent New Year's Eve rekindling her romance with ex-boyfriend Reg Traviss, according to a U.K. report.

The "Back To Black" hitmaker moved on from her failed marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil by dating British director Traviss last year.

Despite hailing the filmmaker as her new love, the romance came to an end in August after he was snapped hand-in-hand with his former partner, burlesque dancer Raven Isis Holt.

But Winehouse now appears to be making efforts to revive the relationship - she missed her father Mitch's gig in London over the New Year to spend time with Traviss, according to Britain's The Sun.

The publication reports the pair rang in 2011 together at the singer's apartment in Camden, north London.

Amy Winehouse's incoherent interview

0

CraveOnMusic/WENN.com

Amy Winehouse has sparked fears for her planned comeback following the publication of a new magazine interview in which she "gulped wine" and struggled to answer basic questions.

The singer has remained largely out of the spotlight over the last few years as she battled drug problems and a broken marriage, but is attempting to get her career back on track by launching a fashion line and working on a new album.

But a new article printed in Britain's Harper's Bazaar magazine, which features Winehouse's first official interview in months, has fueled concerns for the troubled star.

The "Black To Black" hitmaker was seen "gulping down a big glass of wine" during the photoshoot with rocker-turned-photographer Bryan Adams and later became "physically unstable" and "wobbly," according to the magazine.

Journalist Polly Vernon also alleges that during the interview, Winehouse was unable to focus, mumbling "vague", incoherent responses throughout the chat.

She concludes, "I quickly realize, I am unlikely to get any answers. She is just not... present. She is distracted and vague. My most straightforward questions confuse her."

Amy Winehouse clean for 'almost three years'

WENN.com

Amy Winehouse is adamant she hasn't used drugs "in almost three years" - and the former wild-living singer is determined to stay clean.

The "Back to Black" hitmaker's addiction to narcotics and alcohol has been well documented over the years and the singer has endured several hospitalizations and treatment attempts.

In 2008, she headed to the Caribbean in a bid to finally shake off her demons and returned to her native London eight months later insisting she was clean.

She tells Britain's Glamour magazine, "I'm much healthier now. I used to use drugs and I haven't used drugs in almost three years. It's not a hard thing. I literally woke up one day and was like, 'I don't want to do this anymore.'"

Amy Winehouse backtracks on Mark Ronson comments

Amy Winehouse has backtracked over comments she made about Mark Ronson after telling him he's "dead to" her - by publicly declaring her love for him instead.

The "Rehab" hitmaker took to her Twitter blog on Friday to proclaim she was cutting all ties with her pal and collaborator after accusing him of taking credit for her fame.

The comments came after Ronson, who worked on Winehouse's 2006 release Back to Black, appeared on Jools Holland's British TV show saying he had "created the tracks" on the album.

Ronson was left confused by Winehouse's remarks, insisting he needed to speak to the singer to ask what she meant, telling BBC Breakfast, "I've always been really candid about saying that Amy is the reason I am on the map. If it wasn't for the success of Back To Black, no-one would have cared too much about (Ronson's second album) Version.

"Amy is a friend and I think that's something I should discuss with her personally."

But Winehouse has already attempted to make amends, writing on Twitter, "Ronson I love you; that make it better? You know I love you - it's a Jew thing. (sic)"

Amy Winehouse: 'Mark Ronson is dead to me'

0

WENN.com

Amy Winehouse has cut all ties with her one-time pal and collaborator Mark Ronson, accusing the mega-producer of taking credit for her fame and insisting he is now "dead" to her.

Ronson helped Winehouse achieve a worldwide smash with her Grammy-winning 2006 release Back to Black, and the pop star returned the favor the following year by singing "Valerie" for the DJ's covers compilation Version.

The pair re-teamed earlier this year to record a song for a new Quincy Jones tribute record, but their relationship has since soured - and Winehouse has blasted Ronson for using her solo success as a launchpad for his own blossoming career.

Taking to her Twitter page, she writes, "Ronson you're dead to me; one album I write and you take half the credit - make a career out of it? Don't think so BRUV."

It is thought Winehouse's comments stem from an interview Ronson gave on Friday, in which he told musician-turned-TV presenter Jools Holland he had "created the tracks" on Back To Black from the singer's demos.

Amy Winehouse is 'single' again

Amy Winehouse has split from her boyfriend Reg Traviss, according to U.K. reports.

The "Back to Black" hitmaker has been dating the director since earlier this year, but the relationship was rocked last month when photographs emerged of Traviss walking hand-in-hand with his former partner, burlesque dancer Raven Isis Holt.

Holt later alleged Traviss had revived their love affair while he was still involved with the star.

And the rumors seem to have pushed the couple to break up, reports Britain's The Sun.

A source tells the publication, "She (Winehouse) hasn't spoken to Reg since and she's told everyone that it's over. She's pretty cut up (upset) about it; she was serious about him. Amy is confused and vulnerable."

Amy Winehouse's 'love rival' speaks out

The woman who mired Amy Winehouse's new boyfriend in an alleged cheating scandal has spoken out for the first time - urging the singer to end her romance with Reg Traviss before he "breaks her heart."

The "Back to Black" hitmaker has been dating the director since earlier this year, but the relationship was rocked this month when images emerged of Traviss walking hand-in-hand with his former partner, burlesque dancer Raven Isis Holt.

Holt previously alleged she was dumped when Traviss' romance with Winehouse was made public and now she claims he revived their love affair while still involved with the star.

She tells Britain's Grazia magazine, "He told me that he loved me and only ever wanted to be with me... He told me he had stopped talking to Amy. I was in love with him so I agreed to give our relationship another go..."

Holt admits she later saw pictures of Traviss out with the singer and confronted him about his exploits. She adds, "I phoned Reg and asked him if he had met up with Amy... He denied it at first, but then finally he told me he had. And then the next day I saw pictures of them out together acting like a couple. I've ended things. I can't believe anything he says."

And Holt hopes Winehouse will also end her involvement with Traviss before she gets hurt: "I really feel for Amy as she's obviously a vulnerable person. He's going to break her heart. My advice to Amy would be that she should end it, like I have."

British singer Amy Winehouse has put on a public show of unity with boyfriend Reg Traviss just days after he was photographed holding hands with his ex-girlfriend.

The singer began dating the director earlier this year following the breakdown of her rekindled romance with ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

The relationship was rocked earlier this week when images emerged of Traviss walking hand-in-hand with his former partner, burlesque dancer Raven Isis Holt, who previously alleged she was dumped when his romance with Winehouse was made public.

But the singer has wasted no time in shrugging off speculation over her relationship. On Tuesday night she enjoyed a night out with her boyfriend in Camden, North London, where the two posed arm-in-arm and smiled for cameras.
