"TROUBLED music star Amy Winehouse has turned to a Scottish pop fixer to help get her career back on track.

The singer - who has hit the headlines with her drug and booze addiction - is being guided by Fife-born manager Michael Jobson.

He was at Winehouse's side when she was summoned to a London police station to be questioned about allegedly headbutting a customer outside a pub earlier this month.

Hewas also behind the 24-year-old's appearance at the 50th Grammy Awards when she scooped five gongs for songs from her hit album Back To Black.

Winehouse had to perform live via satellite at the star-studded ceremony in Los Angeles as US officials had initially refused her a work visa to attend the event.

Jobson, 45, goes to music business parties and event openings with the singer to keep a watchful eye on her.

He has worked with a string of top pop acts, including the Beastie Boys, Queens Of The Stone Age and The Charlatans, through his company Michael Jobson Management Ltd.

He is the brother of Richard Jobson, former lead singer of legendary Scottish punk rock group The Skids.

Last week Winehouse angrily denied she had ditched husband Blake Fieldler Civil - who is in prison awaiting trial on charges of grievous bodily harm and conspiracy - to start a new life with lover Alex Haines.

She is one of the richest young performers in the music business and has a personal fortune of around s10million.

From behind bars, Fielder Civil has demanded at least s3million of her cash, claiming: "She would not be alive if it wasn't for me."

Last night Jobson was tightlipped about his plans for the singer's future.

He said: "The privacy of my artists is so important. My work with Amy is something I'd rather not talk about." "

[Jayne]

Well if he was around since before the Grammy's he hasn't done a good job.

[ILLEGALL]

well right now she doesnt really have any work to do, promo tours or anything
she is just living her life, so its hardly anything he can really have any influence over is it

Hey, Amy--You know what they say: Idle hands are the Devil's workshop...

[Moody's Mood]

How about he tries to save her life first?

[HeyLittleRichGirl]

Is the fact he's Scottish a huge part in the story? lol
Anyhow, if he's the guy that had her take time off then he's done more for her career than most.

[YiGO]

he should get her back on the road, especially in the US. we love and miss Amy!!!

[YiGO]

plzzzzzzzzzzzzx??? lol

Mark says she's not ready for studio work, so how would she be ready for a tour? I think it would be a disaster right now.

No one can save Amy but Amy. A music manager is not a babysitter or life adviser. Amy needs help in her personal life but its not her music managers job to do that. He can makes suggestions and offer help but Amy has to want it.

[YiGO]

maybe she needs to perform to realize the expectations she must maintain if she wants to keep performing/making music. Mark shouldve known she wasnt ready back when he was hopping in and out of cars with her with guitar in hand for the past 3-4 months.

i dont think shes vocally there judging from her last televised performances. however, recording new tunes is different than performing old ones. theres much more on the line.

I looked on the Michael Jobson Management website and I saw the following:

alex haines account manager
Email :: alex@mjm.uk.net
Tel Ext. :: 25

Is that the Alex Haines who was with Amy? I thought he was associated with her manager Raye Cosbert of Metropolis Music.
