Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon has hit out at troubled singer Amy Winehouse - accusing her of turning to drugs and alcohol to disguise her “lack of talent”.

The punk legend has criticised the singer’s Grammy Award-winning 2006 album Back To Black - branding her style of music “idiotic”.

Singer-turned-reality TV star Paula Abdul has sparked rumours of a reunion with ex-boyfriend J T Torregiani.

Abdul, 46, split from the 33-year-old restaurateur in May, blaming the break-up on their hectic work schedules.

But the pair was spotted going to the cinema together in Sherman Oaks, California last week, prompting speculation they have rekindled their romance.

A source close to the American Idol judge told People.com: “They’re taking it slow, testing the waters. They’ve gone on a few friendly dates.”
