Amy Winehouse immortalized in wax at Madamme Tussauds

Madamme Tussaud's decision to add Amy Winehouse to their creepy display of life-like wax models prompts a lot of questions. Like, where are the track marks? Or, how could depict her without her trademark cigarettes and bottle of wine? And, you mean she wasn't already made of wax?

Apparently Winehouse isn't too pleased with her wax representation, saying "I thought you had to be dead almost before they made a wax of you." I hate to break it to you Amy, but you are "dead almost" and you should be grateful that you can parlay one hit album into this much fawning attention. Her parents, on the other hand, showed up at the debut and seemed quite thrilled. And why shouldn't they be, now they have a wax version of their daughter that won't be a constant tabloid embarrassment. [Gigwise]
