Gordon in the morning: Winehouse on the catwalk
Gordon leads today with one of those stories in which nobody comes out well. The Gaultier show ripping off Amy Winehouse's style is pretty shabby.
And you can understand Mitch Winehouse being a bit upset:
He said: "The family was upset to see those pictures, they were a total shock.Until...
"We're still grieving for her loss, and we've had a difficult week with the six-month anniversary of Amy's death."
"To see her image lifted wholesale to sell clothes was a wrench we were not expecting or consulted on.There's a sense that this isn't just the understandable anger at the shock of seeing your dead daughter being ripped off by a fashion house which has clearly run out of ideas; there's an element of 'we should be controlling what happens to that image'. An upset which could have been avoided by the making of a cash payment - whether to a charity or not - doesn't seem to be a totally genuine upset.

But he added: "No one asked us for permission or offered to make a donation to the foundation."

I was not a super fan but i enjoyed her songs they were honest and deep. I think a lot of us pretend to be what the world expects us to be. We should be who in reality we want to be without harming ourselves or others.
