amy winehouseAmy Winehouse has reportedly instigated her own version of Britney Spears‘ conservatorship to stop her wasting her fortune.

The singer is said to have asked mum and dad Mitch & Janis Winehouse to control her fortune, estimated to be between £10-15million, and now needs their permission to hire staff, make significant purchases - or give money or power over her career to husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

A source told the Mirror: “Mitch convinced Amy she needs a safety valve for the money for her own good - to stop her doing anything rash or daft.

“She can be very impetuous and the family wanted to protect her. She cannot make a sudden decision.

“Her dad was also worried she might be tempted to go back to Blake - and put him in charge. That is now impossible.

“This would never have happened before, certainly not when she was with Blake. It’s her money and nobody else can touch it. But she can’t do anything stupid.”
