Giles Fielder-Civil, Amy Winehouse‘s father-in-law, has suggested to the BBC that fans boycott Amy’s records, which he thinks might force the troubled singer and her musician hubby, Blake Fielder-Civil, to seek professional help for their alleged drug problems.

I’m all for this. Amy shouldn’t be making album sales off her drug-fueled publicity, so I’m fine with jumping on this boycott bandwagon. Plus I’ve boycotted some other things recently such as the Lindsay Lohan flick “I Know Who Killed Me” purely due to her irresponsible, over-the-top, party-going ways. Okay, okay, I didn’t really want to see that crap movie anyway.

OH! But I did kind of boycott MySpace for a while when Facebook entered the picture. So maybe that’s the solution: don’t necessarily enforce a full-on boycott – but just find a better alternative instead.

In Amy Winehouse’s case, that alternative can be found in my new favourite cheeky Brit by the name of Kate Nash, whom I’ve mentioned on this blog before – and I love her so much that I will mention her as often as I can. And if you don’t like that, then you can start a boycott of your own. Just don’t boycott this blog. ‘Cuz then I get fired.
