Monks offer help to Amy

We might be about to see a whole new side to Amy Winehouse if she decides to take some kind monks up on their spiritual offer.

You might not think that The Cistercian Monks of Stift Heiligenkreuz from Vienna have anything in common with Wino, but they too are used to topping the charts.

Perhaps they don't share her wild party lifestyle, but their latest album of Gregorian chants reached the number one spot in Austria and they are signed to Amy's record label, Universal.

So it wasn't long before a record label boss slipped them a copy of the troubled British singer's hit album Back to Black, but the verdict was not completely favourable, the Daily Telegraph reports.

Brother Johannes Paul Chavanne said: "For ten minutes, I liked it. But when I read the lyrics I thought it was sad. I would like to invite her here - I feel sympathetic to people like her.

"She could stay a week or two and discuss the big questions of life - faith might be an answer for her."

Could we soon have a Sister Amy in our midst?
