Ronson Cleans Up At Brit Awards; Winehouse Cleans Out Mini-Bar?

And by "cleaned up," I don't mean she won any awards. (She didn't.) Nor did Winehouse look particularly spiffy at the British version of the Grammy Awards. (She didn't.)
Nope, I think she cleaned up -- or should I say "out" -- a mini-bar before performing "Love is a Losing Game" and "Valerie," the latter as part of a medley from super producer Mark Ronson. Ronson was a big winner, taking home Best Male Solo honors.
Word is that dress rehearsals were so bad for Winehouse that ITV considered pulling her from the show. Apparently, a discussion between executives and Wino, behind closed doors, did the trick.
Amy wasn't up for any awards, anyway. Acts like Adele, Take That, Arctic Monkeys and Mika dominated the proceedings, and I think it's because Back to Black was technically a 2006 British album.
And, a quick check of the 2007 Brit Awards listings shows that Winehouse did win for Best Female Solo and lost in the Best Album category.
Alas, Mark Ronson's medley, featuring the very underrated Daniel Merriweather and his hit "Stop Me," was the pop culture talk of the blogosphere, but not for that performance. Check out Amy's dancing and general oddness after performances from Adele and Merriweather:
And then there was this rendition of "Love Is A Losing Game:"

Your comments remind me of the movie The Wall. Pink is wasted beyond belief and his manager has bribed a doctor to shoot him up with some mysterious drug that will get him through the show. Amy Winehouse is going to burn out fast. Even if she doesn't kill herself , I can't believe she has much more productive time left.
