AMY WINEHOUSE’s mother is confident her daughter will one day resurrect her flagging career - and defy critics who claim the troubled star is heading for an early grave.
Janis Winehouse, 53, believes her daughter’s craving for "constant drama" led to her drug addiction.
But she is convinced the Rehab hitmaker will eventually overcome her problems to make a triumphant career comeback.
She tells British newspaper the Daily Mail, "I don’t think she’s totally lost control. She’s a girl who lives on the edge; she toys with it. But she has an awareness of it, too - and that will save her in the end.
"Maybe it’s because I’m her mother, but I think Amy will have a resurrection, and everyone will say: ‘I thought she was going to kill herself - but here she is.’"

AMY WINEHOUSE’s mother was far from upset when the troubled star eloped to wed last year (07) - because she believes her daughter’s nuptials to BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL were a "joke".
The Rehab hitmaker wed the music industry assistant, 25, in an unannounced ceremony in Miami, Florida last May (07) - less than a month after he proposed to her. And although the 24-year-old’s father, Mitch, begged the star not to tie the knot until she returned to her native England, her mother Janis insists she wasn’t upset about the rushed affair.
She tells Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper, "He’s been in prison for almost as long as they’ve been together. It’s a joke. But then so was the wedding, really. "I wasn’t upset by it because it meant nothing; nothing whatsoever… I know Mitch, Amy’s father, was upset (but) I think they were in Miami and got caught up in the moment, and that was it. It was more like a picnic in the park than a wedding." Fielder-Civil is currently being held on remand at London’s Pentonville Prison, where he will remain until at least 9 June (08), on charges of perverting the course of justice, relating to a previous charge of grievous bodily harm.

And O’Reilly vows that if the couple repeat their show of affection he will make a donation to their favourite children’s charity, Believe.

Controversial filmmaker MICHAEL MOORE confesses he shouldn’t be allowed to make a sequel to his controversial documentary FAHRENHEIT 9/11 - because its plot is "toxic".
The Oscar winner has signed a deal to begin work on the follow-up to his hit film, and is currently offering the idea to foreign buyers at the Cannes Film Festival in France. The original film took aim at the Bush government in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in September 2001.
But Moore admits making another controversial documentary will be "risky".
He says, "It’s something I shouldn’t make, something that is dangerous." The new movie will pick up where the last one left off, following Bush’s plummeting ratings, the struggling U.S. economy and the ongoing war in Iraq.

Veteran actress FAYE DUNAWAY has scolded Hollywood film producers for denying older female stars the chance to play major movie lead roles.
Dunaway, 67, insists movie bosses’ casting decisions are hypocritical because they allow ageing male stars, including her former Chinatown co-star Jack Nicholson, to romance much younger actresses on the big screen.
She says, "I am furious that they think I’m too old to play the love interest of guys like Jack Nicholson and Clint Eastwood. Why should I play sisters and mothers while guys like Jack and Clint (Eastwood), who are older than me, have on-screen lovers half their age?"
