Amy Winehouse has recently been in the news. It seems that the poor girl's health is on the verge of a major crash. Her dad says that she has emphysema. He claims that it's due to all the crack she's been smoking. The constant chain smoking doesn't help much either. Amy's reps, however claim that the health reports are exaggerated. Amy is only in a pre emphysema stage. Perhaps that's why Amy felt free to light up a cigarette, immediately upon her release.

Well Winehouse fans (whomever they may be) will be glad to hear that Amy is up and full of beans again. The troubled singer recently took that stage at the Glastonbury Music Festival. At some point during the set, one of the audience tried to reach out an touch her. Now that's a brave music fans. That broad looks so infectious that I wouldn't touch her if I were wearing latex gloves and she was wrapped in cellophane! Amy didn't take it well either. She climbed down off the stage, and started throwing punches with the grabby fan. This was in full view of a full house numbering about 80 000. Lucky she didn't come over all feral during the recent Nelson Mandala tribute.

A 20 year old Kazakhstani model is at he center of a Manhattan mystery. Ruslana Korshunova has been on the covers of European Vogue & Elle. She modeled for designers like Betsy Johnston and Jill Stuart. The fashion industry had dubbed her as a face to watch. However early Saturday morning witnesses saw the young woman plunge nine stories to her death, after she jumped from an apartment balcony in the financial district and the South Street Seaport tourist area.

Eyewitnesses say that they saw the girl jump from the balcony at about 2;30 AM. She had only just returned from a date with her boyfriend Artem Perchenok a few hours earlier. They had spent the evening watching the film Ghost.

Police say that there was no sign of a struggle, and are calling the case a suicide. However friends are already expressing their disbelief. Korshunova had just return from a modeling gig in Paris, and friends describe her mood as euphoric. "There were no signs," the unidentified friend was quoted as saying. "I don't see one reason why she would do that." In fact Korshunova's professional dance card was booked up (She only recently signed on with IMG's Paris branch, as of June 14). She had worked for such notable names as Vera Wang, Marc Jacobs, Christian Dior and DKNY. She was represented by the high powered IMG modeling agency, whose clients also include Heidi Klum, Kate Moss, and Adriana Lima. Incidentally, Ms Korshunova died only a few days short of her July 2nd birthday. Though she seemed to have everything to live for, she had posted on her social networking page, only a short while ago that "I'm so lost. Will I ever find myself?"

Wondertrash Bogus Zen:

"This world, which seems so full, has neither love, nor light, nor peace, nor ease from pain,
and we are here as on a darkening plane;

amidst the sounds of alarm and of fright,
where ignorant men strive by night"
- Dover Beach

Young Ruslana first came to the attention of the modeling world when a documentary featured her German Club. Fashionistas saw her photo and were breath taken by her. One modeling agent said that they knew they had to find her. So the restless worldlings searched high and low, like a pack of ravenous wolves after a lamb, until they found her. They were gonna leave nothing to chance. So just remember, never allow your picture to be taken, because no good ever comes of it. I guess it has something to do with graven, or craven, images.
