Earlier this week we saw that Madam Tussaud’s Wax Museum in London immortalized the whacky Amy Winehouse with a wax statue that looked far too healthy to adequately represent the real-life person. But an industrious competitor at the Lambeth Country Show in South London finally got it right … here is a pic of one of the winning entries in the Vegetable Figure section of this year’s country fair in South London … and a pic of Miss Winehouse for comparison:

This model of Amy Winehouse is made from a potato and aubergine and was awarded first place by a team of judges from Lambeth Horticultural Society. The pallid color, the spotty skin — they surely deserve the blue ribbon. This is the closest representation of Amy Winehouse that I’ve yet to see (and still the potato looks healthier). Well done!

Welp … London has been lovely, let me tell you but as I mentioned yesterday … David and I haven’t been able to see very much of it thus far. After we finished work yesterday, it was too late to catch an early dinner so we had to catch a late dinner. We found a great sushi place near our hotel and had a very nice meal. Afterwards, we did a bit of walking in the Theater district near Trafalgar Square and popped into a pub called The Bear & Staff for a couple of pints. We spent the rest of the late night just walking around, taking in bits of the city as we went along.

I’ve been working all morning and will be wrapping up soon, David is out strolling about town so — we’re doing our best to enjoy what we can. We leave for Paris tomorrow night so it looks like our English exposure will be very limited. Even still, we are very much looking forward to tonight … for the first time, at long last, I will finally be able to see Kylie Minogue live and in concert!!!

I can’t even express my excitement … I will do my best to give a full report, hopefully with loads of pics!!!

Not sure what the plan for tonight is … we may try and attend the last party at G-A-Y tonight but we fear it may be too much of a madhouse to get in. In any event, we’ll do our best to have the best time we can. I’m already planning my next trip to Londontown … this visit will be far too short to adequately be able to enjoy the city.

Star magazine is reporting that Sarah Jessica Parker’s hubby Matthew Broderick was caught cheating and has, as a result, endangered his marriage to SJP. Since this issue of the magazine hit the newsstands, StarMagazine.com has been offline and completely inaccessible. HMMM … could the magazine have gotten the story wrong and subsequently got themselves in a heap o’ trubs? In any event, here is the magazine cover making its bold claims and some deets from the Star magazine coverstory:

Sarah Jessica Parker’s 11 year marriage to Matthew Broderick has been hit by claims he had an affair with a 25-year-old youth worker. American magazine Star alleges the actor had a liaison with the unnamed woman from November to February while Sarah was shooting the big screen film, Sex And The City. Broderick’s spokesperson Simon Hall didn’t deny the allegations, telling the magazine instead: “There will be no comment.” The publication reports the pair met in a Manhattan bar last November and later he was allegedly seen heading to the woman’s apartment carrying wine and flowers. It claims Broderick, 46, told the brunette his relationship with Parker, 43, was “not good”. Parker, who has a five-year-old son, James Wilkie, with the star, has previously admitted that their marriage is tumultuous at times. In an April interview she said, “I’m really lucky that he is the father of my son, but that doesn’t mean that we always agree on everything. We’ve had some rather treacherous train rides. I’m happy to be with him regardless but I’m sure there are many times he wishes he wasn’t with me.”

I managed to sneak a peek at this issue of Star magazine and was surprised to find out that they were able to publish an actual photo of the alleged mistress that Matthew supposedly cheated with. After the jump, check out her photo …
