Amy Winehouse says 'no, no, no' to Kabbalah

No one can deny Amy Winehouse needs help, but the troubled star won't be turning to Kabbalah for assistance.

The 24-year-old singer set her heart on one of the organisation's trademark red string bracelets after spotting a girl wearing one in the street.

The bracelets are said to ward off evil spirits but Amy, it seems, had no interest in their spiritual side – she just wanted one as a fashion statement.

"Amy saw someone wearing one and thought it was cool," says a chum.

"She stopped the person who gave her a Kabbalah handbook and told her to see a Kabbalah rabbi if she wanted a bracelet.

"Amy baulked when she discovered the bracelets cost £18 and said she'd give the rabbi a miss."

The handbook, I'm told, went in the bin.
