Amy Winehouse's new boyfriend Alex Haines is apparently not the clean-cut dorky fellow he appears to be from the pictures.
In fact, friends of Haines have outed him as a party-animal whose sole ambition in life is to become rich and famous.
"I'm shocked he's ended up with Amy but more surprised by talk of him being a good influence," a source told The Mirror.
"He's into clubbing and everything that goes with it. He knows how to have a good time, put it that way.
"The other thing that motivates him is money. He always said he would do anything to get rich and he would love to be famous too."
And how does one go about becoming rich and famous if one has no looks or talent or anything else? Latch yourself onto some pitiful emotionally crippled pop star, of course.Haines must've studied the Adnan Ghalib technique. You know, put yourself in a position to look like you're actually helping the drug-addled celeb you've targeted when you are really just a parasite.
The problem for Haines is Blake, and especially Blake's buddies. When Blake finds out about Haines, Blake will sic said buddies on him and they will break his kneecaps or rip his tongue out with a pliers or something else nasty.
If I were Alex I would forget about Winehouse and target someone less dangerous, like Lily Allen or one of the Geldof daughters. With them, the worst you have to worry about is a disease. Mess with Wino and you could wind up floating in a river, being munched by fish.
