Amy Winehouse's family and friends gathered for a private funeral at a North London synagogue yesterday to pay tribute to the R&B singer who was found dead in her apartment on Saturday. According to People, Winehouse's father Mitch, who is a jazz musician, gave a "funny" eulogy, "telling stories about her childhood, people were laughing like a celebration." Winehouse's friend Kelly Osbourne was spotted in attendance, as was producer of Back to Black Mark Ronson. Carole King's "So Far Away" played at the close of the ceremony, and "Mitch encouraged everyone to sing to it and they did." Winehouse's family then traveled to another location to have her body cremated, per family custom.

Moving, "Funny" Funeral For Amy Winehouse, Breakup Allegedly Caused Fatal Binge
Material Girl Takes Over Mars Bar, Lit
Recently Kelly Osbourne became a model for the Material Girl line—replacing Jenny Humphrey!—run by Madonna and her daughter Lourdes. For the shoot, they revisited Madonna's old stomping ground of the East Village, and used some of its mainstay bars as a backdrop—namely Mars Bar and Lit. Of the former, Lourdes says, "there were people drinking there and it was, like, three in the afternoon. There were some interesting people there. I think they didn't even notice that there was, like, a girl in short shorts being photographed." Check out some video from the shoot below:
Who's That Girl? It's Kelly Osbourne!
This year's Fashion Week has an unexpected star: Ozzy-spawn Kelly Osbourne! The 25-year-old has been everywhere, even on the runway for Naomi Campbell's show (center photo), looking very blonde and very thin. She credits her weight loss to pilates and her recent stint on "Dancing With The Stars." Hopefully she won't become too bobble-headed!

Fred Armisen Is a Taxi
See Fred on SNL this weekend, with host Christina Aguilera (expect a lot of singing, possible Britney and Kelly Osbourne spoofs) and musical guests Maroon 5, whose lead singer sounds like Jay Kay from Jamiroquai.
American Diva Feuding in London
The Sun's Victoria Newton grades the various outfits Christina Aguilera wore when hosting the MTV Europe Awards. One of her favorites is when XTina donned a nun's habit and robe. Newton also gives the skinny on the feud between XTina and Pink which put MTV producers and their publicists' nerves to the test, as Pink was overheard saying, “If that bitch mentions my name once I’m not going on stage — and I’m not kidding.” And XTina's wrath extends to Kelly Osbourne, who famously mocked her singing on an episode of the Osbournes. (This was before Kelly's own mockable singing career.) Yet another one of those extremely stupid but ridiculously fascinating celeb beefs that can help one pass away a lazy Sunday morning.
Hotel Royalty Meets Rock Royalty
The Hilton girls seem like people Kelly Osbourne would beat up and cuss out, but it seems that Aimee Osbourne is okay with walking the runway with Paris. L.A. Times covers L.A.'s Fashion Week.
The Kiss and Tell
These days, it seems like the big thing is to kiss and tell, and there's no bigger audience than when it's made all the more public. The grungier, sorta B-list version of Britney and Fred, Kelly Osbourne's ex-boyfriend, Bert McCracken, lead singer of The Used, according to The Sun, says they had sex in a limo. And he says he dumped her on Valentine's Day. Bet Kelly wishes Sharon did a better job of shaking him down.
