Amy Winehouse Builds Her Beehive, Spits At Fans

You can always count on the sureshots at TMZ to grab the footage that makes the world go 'round. Today's installment captures Wino at at a British train station, teasing and pulling those lovely locks 'til they're perfectly set in a ratty, Motown nest. Compelling viewing, but it's got nothing on watching Amy prep her gap. Or listening to David Gest fantasize about it.

This was before her latest, spit-tacular onstage meltdown, though...

Via This Is London:

Concern is growing for Amy Winehouse following a shambolic performance during which fans walked out of her concert after she appeared to spit at them.

The singer performed at the Eden Project on Tuesday night, following two weeks of cancelled gigs, but fans who saw her performance have joined the growing chorus of people begging the singer to get help.

Reports say Amy appeared to be in tears while onstage, hitting herself on the head with a microphone in frustration when she forgot the words to her songs, and a fan said she finished by spitting into the crowd.

The shambling performance ended when she stormed offstage during her last song ? a cover of Valerie by The Zutons.

Melinda Trevaskis, 26, from St Austell, said: "The gig became absolutely awful. Members of her entourage were coming on to the stage, obviously worried she couldn't go on, and she would just shout "f*** off" at them. Everyone in the crowd just felt sorry for her."

Camp Amy's explanation:

"She is a bit ring rusty after not having played for a while and was upset after making a few mistakes in the set."

Which explains punching herself (sorta), but what's up with the spitting? Maybe she's just mad that her beehive didn't look okay? Who doesn't hock a loog on an innocent bystander from time to time on a bad hair day, ya know?
