Winehouse chops off beehive

Amy Winehouse has chopped off her trademark beehive hairstyle.

The 'Back To Black' singer has had her hair cut into a short crop, and has swapped her formerly dark locks for a peroxide blonde hairdo.

The new style is reported to have been the work of her hairdresser Alex Foden, who lives in the same east London apartment block as Winehouse.

A source tells British newspaper The Sun: "She just said she felt like it. She'd thought about having a blonde beehive but decided on the shorter look."

A spokesperson for the star adds: "She wanted a new look for the New Year."
