Album:I Told You I Was Trouble DVD
Today's theme is celebrity liquor branding. Will the bad news never end for this doomed diva? In a marketing ploy as tasteless as licking a dirty ashtray, Universal is packaging pre-orders of her new DVD with a pint glass and ashtray adorned with the singer's logo.
Rolling Stone reports:
Rolling Stone reports:If you pre-order your copy now, Universal will help perpetuate some of Amy’s vices when they send you an additional “very cool” pint glass and ashtray emblazoned with Winehouse’s logo. Why not throw in a few syringes and a bong while we’re at it? Maybe they can start a whole line of Winehouse drug paraphernalia.According to Gigwise, she talks about her insecurity on the new DVD, saying that the more insecure she felt, the more she drank and the bigger she wanted her hair to be:
"I'm quite an insecure person. I'm very insecure about the way I look. I mean, I'm a musician I'm not a model. The more insecure I felt, the more I'd drink," she says."And to Tracey Trash, who does my hair, I'd be like, 'Bigger! Bigger!' - like the more insecure I feel, the bigger my hair has to be."The pint glass and ashtray will also be available in the deluxe edition of the DVD, titled "Double Trouble Combo" according to TMZ:
"I Told You I Was Trouble" is the ironic title of Amy's new disc, available by itself or in the Double Trouble Combo -- which includes the 16 oz. pint glass and 3.5 inch ashtray, both engraved with Amy's name.
