Amy Winehouse Husband- British retro-soul singer Amy Jade Winehouse was found dead in her home in Camden, north London on , Saturday, July 23, 2011. This was really a shocking news as she was only 27-year-old. Her death was confirmed by the Metropolitan Police, after the London Ambulance Service was called to the singer's flat just before 4pm Saturday BST. A body, believed to be that of singer Amy Winehouse, is removed from her home following her death. The cause of death is as yet unknown but the Grammy Award winner Amy Winehouse, the soul-jazz diva whose self-destructive habits overshadowed a distinctive musical talent, had checked out of a treatment center a month ago.A really few artists summed up their own career in a single song and a single line as well as Amy Winehouse."They tried to make me go to rehab," she sang on her world-conquering 2006 single, "Rehab." ''I said 'No, no no.'" Occasionally, she said yes, but to no avail: repeated stints in hospitals and clinics couldn't stop alcohol and drugs scuttling the career of a singer whose distinctive voice, rich mix of influences and heart-on-her sleeve sensibility seemed to promise great things.

French fries
French fries
Known elsewhere in the world as chips or potato wedges, french fries actually originated in Belgium. American soldiers who ate the treat during World War I called them "french fries" because that was the Belgian army's official language, although "french" refers to the style of cut, not the nation.
Frites patates frites pommes frites
Macaroni and cheese
Macaroni and cheese
The word "macaroni" and pasta and cheese recipes are found as far back as medieval Italian cookbooks. The third U.S. president was said to have served macaroni pie at the White House, and the first packaged mix hit the American dinner table in 1937.
Hot dogs
Hot dogs
The hot dog's nicknames give us a clue to their origin. Frankfurters (sausage and buns) were served in Germany, while wieners, a sausage made of pork and beef, came from Austria. Coney Island dogs made their appearance around 1870.
Apple pie
Apple pie
What's more American than apple pie? The pastry has origins in England, dating back to the 14th century, and the Dutch version appeared a few centuries later. Americans have adopted the pie as one of its icons since the 18th century.
Hamburger
Hamburger
Hamburger's namesake came from Hamburg, Germany, where Hamburg steak was created, and it was enjoyed by sailors at European and American ports. Several people lay claim to the invention of the modern American hamburger, but there is little doubt that burger front-runners White Castle and McDonald's helped make the burger the popular food it is today.
Fried chicken
Fried chicken
People have been frying chicken since medieval times in Europe, but easy access to lard in the 18th and 19th centuries in the southern United States helped turn the fried foul into a popular American food. Colonel Sanders of KFC brought the bird in a bucket to American dinner tables.
Chocolate chip cookies
Chocolate chip cookies
The chocolate chip cookie was the creation of Ruth Graves Wakefield, owner of the Toll House Inn restaurant in Whitman, Mass. Rumor has it that she sold her recipe to Nestlé for a lifetime supply of chocolate chips. A variation of the original recipe is included on the back of every bag of Nestlé chocolate chips.
Pizza
Pizza
The original pizza was born in Naples, Italy, but the dough, cheese and sauce creation has become an American staple food. Many Americans are loyal to either the Chicago deep-dish or the New York thin-crust styles, and toppings are limited only by your imagination.
