    Just as we thought Amy was getting back on the straight and narrow she causes chaos at the prestigious Q Awards

    Amy Winehouse outraged stars at the Q Awards last night, one of the music industry's most prestigious award ceremonies, with some spectacularly outrageous behaviour.

    Turning up over an hour late to present an award to rock legend Robert Plant, Amy angered organisers and her co-presenter, The Specials star Don Letts. He was forced to go on stage without her and present the award, but after several awkward minutes Amy turned up and scrambled through the room causing a furore with her noisy entrance. When she got on stage Don pulled her to one side and had a few cross words with her.

    Halfway through Robert Plant's heartfelt speech Amy, who was sat at the back of the room, started shouting and swearing, stunning the silenced crowd. An awkward moment ensued as Robert Plant looked shocked and waited for Amy to stop.

    The organisers of the Q Awards were so worried about Amy not turning up on time that they paid for a £1,000 a-night room for her at the Grosvenor House Hotel, where the ceremony was being held.

    Amy showed off her new boobs with two figure-hugging, low-cut dresses and at one point almost fell out of one and exposed her new £5,000 breasts.

    Thankfully, other girls at the awards provided some much needed fashion relief, Sophie Ellis-Bextor went with uptown chic in a satin Dolce & Gabbana puff-sleeved dress. Fearne Cotton wore a black satin off-the-shoulder dress with a white lace top underneath and leopard print boots, while Pixie Lott went for full-on studs with a silver studded Gucci minidress.
