This isn’t the kind of news we thought we would be writing about this morning but we couldn’t pass this up.  Singer Amy Winehouse, who has been on an extended vacation in St. Lucia, is being touted as a hero.  You heard it right… a hero.  Winehouse saved Louise Williams from drowning.

We know what you’re thinking.   Is it safe for someone to get into the water when they are impaired…but apparently when Amy saw Louise getting thrown from a sailboat, the singer dashed to rescue her.

Williams said, “A six foot wave caught the boat and I went flying and hit a rock.  Amy was on the beach 20 meters away and she ran across immediately and said ‘let’s have a look at you.’”

The very appreciative woman claims she would never have made it without the quick actions of Winehouse.  Williams reported that she was “bowled” by her kindness and that there is definitely another side to Amy.
