Amy Winehouse scores a couple of extra points during a game of Scrabble - by throwing off her top. (hit the jump if you dare to see the uncensored version)

The singer stripped down to just a tiny pair of bikini bottoms as she helped a fellow holidaymaker with her triple word scores.

A guest at the same hotel told The Sun: "While taking a break from her usual antics on the beach, Amy spotted some people playing Scrabble and decided to offer her spelling knowledge.

"But only after whipping off her top! It was quite a sight."

Winehouse is vacationing in St Lucia.

Jessica Simpson would be happy to know she's not the only one being called fat. After over two years since he announced his retirement, its perhaps no surprise to see Ian Thorpe aka 'The Thorpedo' is looking noticeably thicker round the waist without his daily swimming sessions.

Spotted enjoying a day in the sun in Dolans Bay in Sydney earlier yesterday, the 26-year-old's girth appears to have expanded since his heyday at the Athens Olympics five years ago. After announcing his retirement in 2006 and stopping his daily training sessions, it was expected Thorpe's fitness levels would reduce, leaving his physique dramatically altered.

A San Diego judge has declared a mistrial in a kidnapping and assault case after the defendant smeared excrement on his lawyer's face and threw it at jurors. The judge boosted defendant Weusi McGowan's bail from $250,000 to $1 million after the Monday incident.

Prosecutor Christopher Lawson says McGowan was upset because the judge refused to remove public defender Jeffrey Martin from the case.

McGowan had smuggled a bag of feces into court and spread it on Martin's hair and face before flinging the excrement at jurors. No jurors were hit.

McGowan has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping for robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and other counts in connection with a 2007 home invasion.

Last week Jen's Corgi-Terrier, Norman, escaped from her home and almost got hit by a car. The paparazzi ended up rescuing the dog and taking it back to her house.

Then the actress got caught up in her more doggy drama over the weekend.

The famous animal-lover dashed to the rescue of a Los Angeles's resident's pet pooch after it escaped from its home. Jen was driving along Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills when she was spotted a Husky running loose along the busy road.

The quick-thinking star quickly pulled over to a side road and jumped out of the car, slowly walking towards the dog. She managed to coax the animal into calming down and standing still, giving her the chance to hold him by the colour. An onlooking paparazzo, who had seen the dog escape, went to the home to alert the owner.
