Report: 'Golden Girls' Stars Set To Bail on Amy Winehouse Funeral

LONDON, England (BNN) – BNN has learned via an unnamed source that the surviving co-stars of The Golden Girls have privately agreed not to attend the funeral of singer Amy Winehouse.

BNN got word of the trio's plan late Monday evening through a close colleague of Bea Arthur.

"They're totally not going," the source explained, "Listen – it's not that they didn't love Amy – it's just everything, it's logistics: Taking time off, flying to the UK, dealing with paparazzi... Plus, you know, it's no secret that Amy hadn't been all there for quite some time. I know that for Bea at least, she feels she said her goodbyes and made her peace with Amy long ago."

BNN contacted Vera Silver, a spokeswoman for the group, who vehemently denied that there was any truth to the story at all.

"This is absolutely 100% not true," insisted Ms. Silver, "it's a complete and total fabrication and I have no idea where it's coming from. There is one agreement currently in place between the Girls, and it has to do with gold bullion and the last surviving member of their group; Otherwise, I can categorically deny that they have made any joint decisions, or have even spoken about Amy Winehouse within the last week."

London-based Reggae star DreadNigel, a close collaborator with Ms. Winehouse, was not so sure.

"Boom-Selecta. Dem crucify christ, youknow," explained the dance-hall phenom, "Makin do a not come an pay respet, youknow? All ovada world. she an she an she need get closa jah original source respet, youknow?"

Further scorn was offered from Winehouse's best friend, London DJ Eli "Zaxxon" Silverstein, who told BNN that he was disappointed by the actresses' decision.

"That shit is quite hurtfow, yeah? I mean, woulday be caught dead ever skippin a white friend's funeral? It's the same sort of racialist crap Amy had to put up wif her whole life- frankly they's lucky to be invited."
