Amy Winehouse's Dad on his Daughter: "Her Boobs are Great"

8:59 a.m. · October 21, 2009 · by Nick Neyland

Amy Winehouse’s father, Mitch, loves to speak to the media about his daughter's troubled career, and he has surfaced again in a series of interviews in England. Among the topics up for discussion were his daughters boobs and her well-publicized drug habit—two topics the elder Winehouse was apparently happy to discuss.

"[She's] fantastic. Her boobs are great as well,” he told the TV show Good Morning, which might be one of the creepiest father-talking-about-famous-daughter quotes of all time. “She looks absolutely fantastic. I didn't have to pay for it [the boob job], that's all I know. I didn't have to pay for the boobs. There is no total recovery, it's a recovery and if you look back to where we were a year ago, we are on a different planet. We are in a different space and a different time and [Amy is] a different person."

He also spoke to the Home Affair Committee in England about Amy’s drug taking, and claims she has been clean for a year. "We were very fortunate - we were able to afford the best doctors, clinical psychologists, rehabilitation and hospitals,” he said. Winehouse’s father was also critical of drug rehab programs for poor people, and claims to be making a documentary on rehabilitation services for heroin addicts. This is one dad who hasn’t tired of the limelight just yet.
