Would you rather see Amy Winehouse looking as sickly as a goblin, or as naked as a hippie chick at Bonnaroo? If the answer is “B,” you are so in luck: the troubled British soul songstress has been vacationing in St. Lucia over the past few days and looks a little bit healthier. Sure, her bathing suit bottom looks a bit like the days-of-the-week underoos we had in elementary school, but we can’t find any visible ribs sticking out of her torso! A fine day for Winehouse indeed.

Jay-Z underwent a fashion conversion as well this week, bringing nerdy back with his Urkel specs at the premiere of Biggie Smalls biopic Notorious (for more on the film, read our in-depth report here). And Prince — who announced not one but three new albums for 2009 — hit a Lakers game sans purple attire (which makes no sense at all, since purple is one of the L.A. team’s two colors!).

We also saw Kid Rock pick up a People’s Choice Award, Paul McCartney sign new copies of his Fireman album Electric Arguments (full Q&A about the LP right here), J.Lo hit the town sporting her wedding band and Gregg Allman jamming out onstage in New York (his band announced their annual Beacon Theatre residency in the city, too).
