Amy Winehouse's Inquiry May Be Reopened After Coroner's Resignation

The coroner who headed up the official inquest surrounding the death of Amy Winehouse has resigned, and a judicial investigation has been launched over her qualifications, raising concerns that the circumstances of the singer's death may need to be re-examined.

According to the British newspaper The Guardian, Suzanne Greenaway — the coroner who ruled in October that Winehouse died of "misadventure" — has become the subject of an investigation headed up by the Office of Judicial Complaints, after concerns were raised that she did not possess sufficient legal experience in the U.K. when she was appointed by her husband (a fellow coroner who chaired the inquest) to serve on the legal investigation into Winehouse's death.

Greenaway resigned from her position as an assistant deputy coroner in November after it was discovered she had not been a registered lawyer in the U.K. for the required five years. Her resignation was announced on Wednesday. According to British law, Greenaway would have needed either five years with the Law Society or five years of experience as a qualified medical practitioner. She has met neither set of criteria.

Her husband, Andrew Reid, said in a statement that he believed that Greenaway's legal and medical experience in Australia qualified her to lead the legal inquest, but admitted in a statement that he "had made an error in good faith."

Reid also said that, while he was "confident" all the inquests handled by his wife were done so correctly, he would be writing to the 30 families whose relatives were subject to those inquests (including Winehouse's) "to personally apologize and offer for their cases to be reheard if requested."

It is not known whether the Winehouse family will opt to have the late singer's inquest reopened. In a statement released to the Independent newspaper, the family said they were "taking advice on the implications [of the investigation into Greenaway's qualifications] and will decide if any further discussion with the authorities is needed."

Winehouse's father, Mitch Winehouse, later took to his Twitter account to add, "Don't worry about coroner nonsense. We are all okay."

There will never be another Don Cornelius. With his television show "Soul Train," the iconic producer and host put audiences on to the latest music, fashion and dance steps every week. Artists like Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye and Run-DMC all took to Cornelius' stage and delivered some pretty memorable performances.

Cornelius was found dead in his Los Angeles home after police responded to a shooting call on Wednesday. While the cause of death has not been established, multiple outlets have reported that it appears to have been a suicide. In the wake of his death, the "Soul Train" host has remembered by many in the music community, including Rev Run, who spoke to MTV News on Thursday (February 2) about Cornelius' impact.

"What he did at his height, he was brilliant. He was the Jay-Z of his time," Run said. "He was cool. He was the coolest of the people dancing in his crowd."

Love, Peace and "Soul": Don Cornelius Remembered in Photos

Run recalled watching the show as a kid and seeing iconic performances by Michael Jackson and Marvin Gaye. The rap icon was such a fan of Cornelius' "Soul Train" that when he finally appeared on the show in the 1980s with his group RUN-DMC, the magnitude of his appearance didn't quite sink in.

"As a kid, before I had any experience in it — Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye — it was just cool; it was just big," Run said, still humbled by his appearance on the show more than 30 years later. "I was happier watching it from home. ... It was bigger than me and more cooler than me."

The "Run's House" star marveled at Cornelius' contributions to pop culture. "Not only was he a great businessman, but he brought us what the cool was," Rev Run said. "He knew James Brown and Marvin Gaye, he'd knock on their bedroom door and say come do my show. Well connected, he was the man, like I said, Jay-Z."

Cobra Starship Got 'Good Vibes' From Mac Miller On 'Middle Finger'

'He was super chill, super laid-back,' Gabe Saporta says of Miller, who guest stars on Cobra's new single.

To the average viewer, Cobra Starship's "Middle Finger" video isn't exactly brimming with subtleties and symbolism; instead, it appears to be little more than a long series of single-digit salutes.

It bears mention that, apparently, Cobra frontman Gabe Saporta is not the average viewer. Because, to him, the "Finger" video is much more than a bunch of folks flipping the bird; it represents the launch of the next phase of the Starship world domination plan. Or something like that.

"Listen, I never thought we'd even get to make a fourth record, to be honest, even from the beginning. And basically after your third record, it's almost time for a whole re-invention; it's almost like starting over again, because, if you think about it, a generation of music is about four or five years, then every kid who was in high school is gone, and they're all listening to different stuff, and it all changes," he told MTV News. "In the 'Middle Finger' video, there's definitely allusions to that; you know we're burning neon clothes, so, I don't know if that's a reinvention, but, I do feel like we're planting the seeds for where we go next."

And that new direction might be reflected in "Middle Finger" guest star Mac Miller (the MC currently being featured in MTV News' "Back To The Burgh" week), who not only lends a verse to the track, but helps separate it even further from the field of current pop tunes.

"He was actually really cool in the studio; that's actually the first time I met him, when he was he came to do his rap for 'Middle Finger.' He was super chill, super laid-back, he wrote his stuff there in the studio. It was good vibes, man," Saporta explained. "It gives the song a totally different flavor, and we definitely did that consciously. Most pop songs right now are like straight-up bangers, so we wanted to do something that might stand out a little bit and be a little more down-tempo."

And of course, though Saporta is speaking seriously about the future of Cobra Starship, he's also not above poking fun at himself and his bandmates ... especially when it comes to a quote he gave MTV News late last year, when he promised that the "Finger" video would feature "a lot of cheekiness and no middle fingers." And as you probably know by now, the clip ended up being the complete opposite.

"We said we were not going to be giving the middle finger in the video; that was the point ... I was totally misquoted!" he laughed. "We definitely didn't want the video to be angsty; a lot of people hear the title 'Middle Finger' and they think it's a mean or angry song, it's not about that, it's about letting go and having fun ... and I think that's the vibe we wanted to have with the video, so, we thought it would be funny if old ladies gave us the finger."

<P>About a year ago, Justin Bieber made headlines when he lopped off his famous locks in favor of a shorter do. Now, almost 12 months later, he's once again making some hair-related headlines. </p><div class="player-placeholder right" id="vid:667806" width="240" height="211"></div><p> So, what has Bieber done now that has everyone <i>buzz</i>ing? Well, over the weekend, the Biebs was spotted in Los Angeles donning much darker hair than his trademark sandy blond. When Bieber cut off his hair last year, MTV News spoke to his hairstylist, Vanessa Price, who told us about his new look, noting that it had a lot to do with Bieber's growing pains. "We knew it was going to be a big deal," Price explained. "We knew it was going to shock fans, but we also knew it was going to be a change in terms of growing up. I think that's something that people adjust to. "We'd been talking about it for a while and shared some ideas, but literally the day of he was adamant about the haircut. He amped himself up for it," Price continued, before describing his momentary hesitation. "The minute we started cutting, he was like, 'Wait, wait, wait.' He loves it. He's enjoying it." The new hair color coincides with his girlfriend Selena Gomez's hairstyle changes. She recently tweeted a photo of herself sporting multi-colored highlights in her hair. Bieber's new look may be part of a makeover for his upcoming album, <i>Believe,</i> slated for release later this year. He confirmed last week that Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am will appear on the album. Not only does Bieber want to grow up when it comes to his look but also when it comes to his music. "The only conversation we've had about Justin's album that we're about to do is it's really important that it's the proper transition, because we've seen him [with] 'Baby,' now we're watching him grow up," Bieber's longtime vocal producer Kuk Harrell told MTV News in November. "And we can't just throw him into the adult game right away. It has to be the proper transition."</p>
