Amy Winehouse is ditching her label home at Island Records and starting a music group of her own, according to the latest dish of London. The habitual drug user, who was arrested by British police on assault charges last Friday, is teaming up with alleged extramartial lover, Alex Haines, to launch her own record label.

“She’s been planning it with Alex, who has a bit of music know-how from working as her manager’s assistant….Her deal with Island ends after the next record. That’s why they are trying to get her to clean up first and make sure it’s a classic. ”

“For the first time in her career, Amy is beginning to have her head turned by the cash she can make,” a celebrity spy says in a new tabloid report. “It’s never been a huge deal in the past, but she is beginning to realise everyone else is making all the money out of her success.”

“…She wants to set up her own label. She plans to release her own material on it, as well as her mates like Tyler James and Remi Nicole.”
