Amy Winehouse plays with local children on the beach in St Lucia

[Honey]

She's renowned for her hellraising antics and getting up to no good.
But during a day at the beach while holidaying in the Caribbean, Amy Winehouse showed a rather more maternal side as she played with local children.
The singer was spotted running around, linking arms and being tugged along by the excitable youngsters on a beach in St Lucia on Sunday.

Maternal instinct: Amy Winehouse played with local children on a beach in St Lucia yesterday

She was also seen cuddling a cute little black dog as she chilled in a bikini top and three-quarter length trousers.
The touching scenes come in contrast to her reported streak through her Caribbean hotel earlier last week.
Amy, who returned to the island of St Lucia from her London home last week, reportedly whipped off her bikini top on the beach and ran through the family-friendly five-star resort.

Open-mouthed guests said she was babbling nonsense to herself and waving her arms in the air as she tore around the pool area where children were playing.
Perhaps Amy decided it was time to calm down a little as she engaged with the local children yesterday.
Or maybe she was trying to take her mind off the news that her estranged husband Blake Fielder Civil is alleged to have got another woman pregnant while attending rehab.

Gillian Morris, 31, told the News of the World that Blake seduced her at the Phoenix Futures Rehab Centre in Sheffield and 'we had a secret fling'.
The mother-of-two, who was undergoing treatment for heroin addiction, said he was shocked when he found out but he 'has vowed to stand by me and raise the child' and she is now planning to keep the child.
She said: 'Initially I was planning to have an abortion but Blake's vow has completely thrown me.'

[aabbcc]

Shouldn't that be Amy Winehouse scares local children?

[fattymatty]

Ew. She looks like she's leading them to a gingerbread house.

[celeb_2006]

Again how many f**king vacations does this person take? I wish I could do that.

[Let It Be]

She seems to be trying. As much as I've hated on her, I hope she makes it.

[Chimera]

Ew. She looks like she's leading them to a gingerbread house.

Perfect!

[Pippin]

She isn't overweight, but she's grossly out of shape. Wino needs a training session or two with Mandonna's trainer, or a power walk or two with me.

Amy Winehouse's body looks as if it's been dead and buried, and useless. Skinny and flabby. She needs to run faster on the beach. *cracks whip!*

Those kids will either be scarred for life..or get a contact high.

[Quazar]

[Mrs P]

gawd look at her skin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EWWWWW or is that a shirt?

I was going to comment on that too. Her skin is hanging over her pants. Or trousers I should say. I made the mistake of using the term pants and having some Brits thinking I was talking about my underwear.
