Winehouse likes pizza, champagne, vodka

British breakout singer Amy Winehouse has made her love for the sauce completely transparent, most notably on her hit single, Rehab," in which she rejects treatment for her vice. Her tour rider--the list of demands presented to each venue she plays--backs up her reputation. According to The Smoking Gun, which obtained a copy of the Winehouse rider, the singer and her 10-piece band require wine, beer, and liquor in her dressing room, including a large bottle of vodka, Courvoisier, a chilled bottle of champagne, and a lager like Corona--"no Stella Artois or Carling."

Winehouse also asks that three "good quality HOT" pizzas be delivered, and the band reserves the right to refuse them if they are not good and hot. And in the most ironic request, the teetotaler asks that two roadies be on hand to help with load-in at each concert venue, and specifically asks that the crew be sober.
