Amy Winehouse refused to go to her own birthday party after realising how drugs have ravaged her looks and ranting: “I look “f***ing ugly.”

The Grammy award-winning singer had a furious row with best pal Remi Nicole as she desperately tried to convince her to attend her own 25th bash.

Celebs including Adele, Mark Ronson, and Amy’s mother Janis waited for her in central London’s Jazz After Dark club on Saturday — but the junkie, who is still battling huge drug addictions, refused to leave home.

Three cabs were called to the star’s house in Camden, North London.

Two were sent away before Remi gave up and took the third home after three hours trying to get Amy out.

Her 15 guests were then left to eat her guitar-shaped cake without ever seeing her.

A pal said: “Amy was standing in front of the mirror telling everyone how rough she looked. Unfortunately her lifestyle has had a major affect on her appearance and it’s only just started to sink in. She kept saying she was ugly and was in an awful state. They couldn’t get her out. Remi had organized the night and made a huge effort. They had a huge row. Amy can be very selfish — there was no convincing her and she ruined the night for everyone, including herself.”

Even Amy’s pal Blake Wood — who she was rumored to have had a fling with — arrived with arms full of presents, only to be told the troubled singer wasn’t coming.

But it was Amy’s mom Janis — walking with the aid of a walking stick — who took the singer’s no show the hardest, breaking down in tears when she realized her troubled daughter wouldn’t be turning up.

Pete Doherty has scrapped plans to work with pal Amy Winehouse after she ridiculed his “best” guitar riff.

The Babyshambles frontman enjoyed an impromptu jam session with Winehouse earlier this summer, but the experience left Doherty feeling downtrodden.

He says, “I’d like to collaborate with her. But last time I was round there and we were jamming she said, ‘Come on then, play me some of your new ideas.’ So I played her my best new riff and she said, ‘Well, you’re not inspired, are you?’ So she p**sed on my bonfire a bit.”

Amy Winehouse is to have a second try-out as a DJ – after she disappointed partygoers at her first London club night by not playing a single record.

The Back to Black singer was due to hit the decks at the launch of her own regular club night at the Monarch pub in Camden, London in June. But she baffled the crowd by merely dancing around the DJ booth while a friend controlled the music.

Now Winehouse has announced that she is to host another club night at the venue on Thursday, playing tunes along with DJ Bioux.

The night is called ‘Snakehips’ and is billed as a mix of 1960s girl groups, northern soul, beat and doo-wop tunes.

A crowd of thousands saw Amy Winehouse’s strongest show of the summer at Bestival.

Winehouse was 45 minutes late, but turned up, unlike at Rock en Seine in Paris earlier this week.

Although the singer had little of her usual interaction with the crowd, she was in full voice and finished with hits Back to Black, Love is a Losing Game and You Know I’m No Good.

Earlier, the Specials and Grace Jones appeared as surprised guests.

The festival has suffered from the heavy rain that has been battering Britain over the weekend.

On his blog, organizer Rob da Bank said there are rumors on the internet that the main stage has sunk.

He reassured fans: “The truth is much more simple – we had some heavy rain, there’s some mud onsite, quite a bit in places but we’re open, everyone’s having a ball and the spirit of Bestival is alive and well.”

Amy Winehouse has turned to Buddhism to try and beat her drug and alcohol addictions, according to U.K. tabloid reports.

The Back To Black singer has faced a string of health issues over the last year and was rushed to hospital after collapsing at her house in London in July.

The star was also diagnosed with traces of deadly lung disease emphysema. But Winehouse is now said to be battling her addictions by using calming Buddhist chants to help her relax and battle stress, according to The Sun newspaper.

A source tell the publication, “One of her musicians introduced Amy to Buddhist chanting. She chants for ten minutes in the morning and just before she sleeps. Amy has also been watching the interview clip of Tina Turner on YouTube and she reckons it’s already affecting her in a positive way.”

Singer Tina Turner turned to Buddhism after she split from her rocker husband Ike Turner in 1975.

Amy Winehouse’s hospital dash in July was the result of marijuana poisoning and not a reaction to medication, a British tabloid report has claimed.

The Rehab singer was admitted to a London hospital on July 28th after falling ill at her home.

Her representative subsequently released a statement blaming her condition on an adverse reaction to medication she is taking to help kick her drug addiction – which the star’s father Mitch has also backed.

But now The Sun newspaper is claiming Winehouse had in fact become sick after allegedly smoking pot for more than a day.

And pals fear Winehouse’s reported addictions will leave her needing medical help for years to come.

A source tells the publication, “Mitch does everything he can to protect his daughter – but his ‘explanation’ for Amy’s hospital dash in July was simply untrue. She had smoked an inhuman amount of hash which resulted in acute cannabis poisoning. You have to take a s**tload of pot to suffer that severe a reaction. It’s thought she had been smoking it for 36 hours… She is in need of years of psychiatry and medical treatment if she has a hope (of fully recovering).”
