Amy WinehouseAmy WinehouseLet us remind you that Amy Winehouse is a singer...

We wouldn't blame you if you'd forgotten, her personal life has taken over lately.

And we must admit it's nice to see her in the news for something related to her musically.

So well done Amy, she's obviously been ticking boxes down at Mobo HQ.

She and Dizzee Rascal are both leading the pack, with four noms each.

The nods for the 12th Music Of Black Origin awards were announced on Wednesday night in London.

And Ames is up for best UK female, alongside Beverley Knight, Corinne Bailey Rae, Jamelia and Joss Stone.

But she wasn't to be seen at the nomination launch - where she was also nominated for best R&B act, best song, for Rehab, and best video, for Back To Black.

Well we can fill you in, we'd ventured out of the Showbiz Shed for a bite to eat and who should we run into but Amy herself.

She was with her papa, hubby Blake Fielder-Civil, and another couple, chowing down on dim sum at Ping Pong restaurant, in central London.

And she even tried to cadge a fag off one of our party but declined when she saw it was menthol.

With her standard beehive and skinny jeans, she spent the evening away from the razzmatazz of the launch party. But you can see the fun and games of the do yourselves in our gallery...
