Amy Winehouse Statue To Be Erected In London
From The Sun:
A statue of Amy Winehouse could soon be keeping watch over her old stomping ground in Camden, after the council gave it the green light.
The life-sized tribute will stand on a first floor balcony outside the Roundhouse music venue in Chalk Farm – just yards away from the home where she died in July 2011.
It will show the Back to Black star in a short dress, leaning against the wall and looking or pointing towards the North London district.
The bronze statue – the brainchild of Amy’s father Mitch Winehouse – have now been given the green light by Town Hall planners, despite some objections.
Some fans objected to artist Scott Eaton’s designs, and conservationists told Camden Council it was too early to honour the late singer, the Camden New Journal newspaper reports.
But the memorial will go ahead – on the condition that it is not lit up at night.

Chief Keef Ordered To Pay Monthly And Back Child Support
According to TMZ, Chief Keef has been ordered to pay the mother of his daughter $2,600 a month in child support. The court ruled that Keef must also pay $500 for day care and $10,400 in back child support. There is another hearing set for next month to finalize the settlement.
Keef fathered his child at the age of 15 with an unnamed teenage girl. There have been conflicting reports about the young women’s age; TMZ originally reported that the girl is still currently in middle school making her between the ages of 13-15, but journalist Mark Konkol, who covers Chief Keef for DNAInfo Chicago, later reported that the mother is the same age as Keef.
Court documents apparently showed that the 17-year-old makes $13,000 a month, but Keef’s income could be getting a boost after some big business moves he has made recently.

Gunmen Open Fire On Mother’s Day Parade In New Orleans
From NBC News:
At least 12 people in New Orleans were injured on Sunday when multiple gunmen opened fire on a Mother’s Day parade, police said.
One of the victims was a 10-year-old girl who was grazed by a bullet and is in good condition, police said. Another person sustained an injury as parade members ran from the gun fire.
None of the injuries are expected to be fatal.
Authorities saw three people running away from the scene after the shooting. At least one suspect was described as a man between ages of 18 and 22.
New Orleans Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas said there may have been as many as three shooters, and that two different types of weapons were likely used.
The victims were marching in what is known as a second line parade, common in New Orleans: A brass band plays while marching in the streets, while a “second line” of people follows the band, celebrating.
Serpas said the parade was just a few blocks long.
“These are unusual circumstances. We have second lines which occur in the city of New Orleans virtually every weekend at this time of the year,” said Serpas. “We had a full complement of police officers. It appears that these 2 or 3 people just for a reason unknown to us, started shooting at towards, or in the crowd. It was over in just a couple seconds.”
Update. Gunmen opened fire on dozens of people marching in a neighborhood Mother’s Day parade in New Orleans on Sunday, wounding at least 19 people, police said.
