Good news for those of you who wish to get within touching distance of the infamous Winehouse beehive, but don't fancy eating a knuckle sandwich for your troubles as that Glasto reveller did on Saturday: the chanteuse is to have her ever-frail physique immortalised in wax at Madam Tussauds. Amy will tread where our erstwhile PM remains persona non grata, and will likely be a popular draw, not to mention a disturbingly realistic one: we......

Turns out Gordon Brown had bigger things to worry about than that silly waxwork distraction of a few weeks ago, where an online poll of Tussauds fans gave the PM a big clunking thumbs down. Yet it must be galling to see other world leaders slip through the entranceway, like a better-tailored rival granted admittance to a trendy nightclub while you're standing outside fuming and fussing.

Amidst the Northern Rock fiasco, poll drubbings by the Tories and an economy on the turn, along comes another, devastating blow to the PM's authority: Madam Tussauds has declared that he is "too obscure" to merit a waxwork. The Marylebone tourist magnet has announced that they will not be making a waxwork of Brown for their World Leaders department, citing his......
