Winehouse shocks reporter with self-harm

British singer Amy Winehouse shocked a reporter at US rock magazine Spin by self-harming herself with a broken mirror during a recent interview.

The Rehab star etched "I Love Blake" - a reference to new husband Blake Fielder-Civil - into her stomach with a shard of broken mirror left over from a photoshoot.

And the outspoken singer told the magazine her rough-and-ready attitude to life and success allows her to be as dangerous and controversial as she wants to be.

Winehouse, who recently confessed she was considering quitting the music industry to become a full-time wife and mum, explained: "I'm not in this to be a f**king role model.

"I don't care about any of this and I don't have much of an opinion of myself. I don't think people care about me. I made an album I'm very proud of and that's it."

Meanwhile, the odd, controversial magazine interview almost became a report on a bar brawl when Winehouse's partner threatened a bystander who joked about his resemblence to actor Ethan Embry.

The interviewer writes: "Fielder-Civil whispers into my ear cheerily, `Tell the guy who looks like he has leukaemia I'm going to slit his throat.'"
