Larry King is the front runner for an interview with Amy Winehouse. Currently Oprah, Larry King, and UK newscaster Trevor McDonald are all fighting to get the interview. Considering that Oprah and Larry King probably didn’t even know who Amy Winehouse was until last month, this is quite the war.

Larry King I guess has proposed to ask the softest of soft questions as Amy and her people are leaning towards him. Amy doesn’t really have any desire to go on Oprah because, well, she doesn’t need the publicity so why put up with her.

If you are going to do an interview and don’t want to face tough questions, then everyone knows you go on Larry King. Diane Sawyer could do it also, but she still has not absolutely perfected that glassy eyed look that says tell me anything and I will believe you.

Larry will focus on Amy’s love of marriage, won’t ask any questions about drug use, except to maybe ask if her husband has ever seen anyone use drugs. He won’t refer to Blake being in jail, but will ask what it is like to take separate vacations. Larry will never stop staring at Amy’s breasts, and will ask her questions about each of her tattoos. He will ask inane questions like how long it takes to do her hair, and how exactly can you get all that music on that shiny looking metal thing.

Amy will talk with as much of an accent as she can muster, and Larry will ask her if she is from Argentina. He will then go off on a tangent for 15 minutes and talk about how Argentinian beef is the best. Amy could sit in front of Larry doing line after line of coke, and Larry would probably just ignore it and start talking about next week’s guests.

If she is on Larry, the only useful thing we will probably pick up is the weather in Fargo as it crawls across the bottom of the screen.
