(Jan. 12) -- Speaking publicly and openly about her newfound sobriety and love, troubled British songstress Amy Winehouse is airing everything out.
Speaking exclusively with News of the World, Winehouse swears she's "off the drugs for good" and after months of being caught in a public freefall, has "finally escaped from hell." Aside from her health, the newly single Winehouse also says she's "in love again" thanks to a newfound vacation romance.
The singer has been photographed in St. Lucia with her new man, 21-year-old Josh Bowman, and she says she's "never felt so happy." Winehouse says Bowman "couldn't be more different from my husband, which is not a bad thing." She's referring to Blake Fielder-Civil, who is currently back in jail following a parole violation.
Winehouse goes on to trash her husband even further, calling him (and herself) a "mess," while dubbing hew new man "handsome and clean."
"When I'm with Josh I don't need drugs to feel good because he makes me feel so amazing," Winehouse said... continuing on to give the reporter mildly explicit details of their sex life. She then goes on to mock Fielder-Civil's bedroom prowess, saying he "was rubbish in bed. Do you know what? Almost every time I slept with him it was like I was dead."
"I've just forgotten I'm even married," Winehouse said, despite the fact that Fielder-Civil filed divorce papers one day before the interview.
"Our whole marriage was based on doing drugs ... So being with someone like Josh is much better for me," Winehouse says.
The 'Rehab' singer then opens up about her health just a few weeks ago.

"Before I came out here I looked at a photo of myself in the newspaper and was horrified. My skin was a spotty mess and I was so pale and skinny. I thought to myself, 'Girl, you got to sort yourself out or you?ll be dead soon.'" Winehouse says she was "depressed, doing drugs and had no life in me at all."
"Home is hell for me," Winehouse said, describing her hometown of London. "I've escaped from it. There are drugs everywhere. I can't do anything without everyone thinking I'm off my head on drugs, although half the time they were right, I WAS."
She also mentions the obvious and healthy weight gain she's undergone since arriving in St. Lucia. "I've been eating non-stop because the food's so great here and now I've got some meat on my bones," she said.
Despite her swearing she's off drugs, Winehouse admits she's been drinking while on vacation, and some of the resorts other guests can angrily attest to that.
"Every night we go to the piano bar and the professional player can?t entertain us because Amy?s taken over. And she can?t even play. She just jabs at odd notes and is usually so drunk she can barely hold a note. If I have to listen to her do Puppy Love again I think I'll kill her," one guest said.
