Amy Winehouse: Terrorist Target?

Amy Winehouse and producer Mark Ronson are apparently named on a terror target list... because they're Jewish.

According to Britain's The Sun tabloid, the Ummah.com website has compiled a list of famous Jews to target in retaliation for Israel's ongoing military operation against Palestinian terrorist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The Sun reports that a user asked "Have we got a list of top Jews to target? Can someone post names and addresses?"

"The Ummah website has been used by extremists," British anti-terror expert Glen Jenvey told The Sun.

"Those listed should treat it very seriously. Expect a hate campaign and intimidation by 20 or 30 thugs."

Winehouse, Ronson, former British prime minister Tony Blair's Middle East envoy Baron Michael Levy, former The Apprentice star Sir Alan Sugar and Princess Diana's divorce lawyer Anthony Julius are among those mentioned on the site.

The comment comes after British watchdog group Community Security Trust reported that there had been an increase in antisemitic incidents since Dec. 29. A synagogue has since been attacked in London, as have others in France and Sweden.

In other Winehouse-related news, actor Josh Bowman has denied that he's romantically involved with the singer. Winehouse is currently vacationing on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, and several news outlets have reported she and Bowman were an item.

"She's sweet — but just not my kind of girl," Bowman told The Sun.

Another friend told the tabloid that "he thinks she's cool but that's as far as it goes."
