Any parent’s loss of a child is a tragedy that never goes away, but Amy Winehouse’s parents reportedly are experiencing even added grief — due to both the actions of the late, troubled singer’s fans and some false reports that have upset them deeply.

† A good source, long close to Amy, says Janis and Mitch Winehouse are extremely unhappy with how some of their daughter’s fans have chosen to “celebrate her life.” While the senior Winehouses treasure Amy’s fans as a whole — and are touched by the huge floral shrine created outside her London home — they are not happy about something else happening virtually every night outside their daughter’s flat.

A group of often raucous Winehouse fans — seemingly high on booze and drugs — have been gathering to sing and play her music. Things have gotten so difficult, the police are needed to break things up.

“They [the fans] think this is the kind of edgy demonstration that Amy would have loved, but it’s driving [Mitch and Janis] crazy,” said the source. “This just continues to remind them — as if they didn’t know it well enough — that it was drugs that likely killed Amy.

“We won’t know for sure until the medical post-mortem comes back, but that’s what everyone assumes, since it seems she bought drugs the day before she died.”

† Also upsetting to the Winehouses is the incorrect report that Amy was planning to adopt a 10-year-old girl she befriended from the Caribbean island nation of St. Lucia.

“That’s not true, nor is the story that she and [boyfriend] Reg Traviss were secretly engaged and planned to marry,” said the Winehouse friend. “That might have happened eventually but wasn’t planned when she died.”

BACK BATTLING? Mel Gibson and ex-girlfriend Oksana Griegorieva have been out of the media glare for months, but it looks like they will be back in it.

Gibson is unhappy with the limited access he has to little Lucia, the 1-year-old daughter the couple share, and is heading to court in September to fight for a 50/50 custody agreement.

Apparently, Griegorieva wants none of it, hoping the court will continue to support the current agreement that allows Gibson only three overnight visits with Lucia every two weeks.

BAD OVERSIGHT: Kudos to Reel­Chicago.com’s Ruth Ratny for noting the horrible oversight by the Hollywood Reporter, which omitted Our Town’s prestigious Columbia College, one of the nation’s oldest and best film schools, from its list of the top 25 film schools in the world.

Just a small list of Columbia’s grads — among the thousands of the school’s alums who have had a major impact on Hollywood and international cinema — are two-time Oscar-winning cinematographer Janusz Kaminski, HBO Films president Len Amato, Academy Award-winning cinematographer Mauro Fiore and filmmakers Steve Pink (“High Fidelity,” “Grosse Pointe Blank”), and Bob Teitel and George Tillman Jr. (“Soul Food,” “Men of Honor,” “Notorious,” “Faster”).

CLARK KENT’S BOSS: Laurence Fishburne has just been added to the cast of “Man of Steel,” the new “Superman” flick that will be filming here most of August and September. Fishburne will play Perry White, the Daily Planet editor and Clark Kent and Lois Lane’s boss.

WEDDING BELLS: They soon could ring again for Janet Jackson. Sources close to Michael’s little sister report the singer and Wissam al Mana, her boyfriend for the past two years, could wed fairly soon.

Jackson is said to be “crazy in love” with al Mana, the billionaire Qatari businessman who “treats her like a total princess,” said a longtime Jackson family insider.

Though al Mana is nine years Jackson’s junior, “he is so mature, and such a gentleman. … He has manners that are a throwback to an earlier age, when men put women they loved up on a pedestal,” added the source. “Not surprisingly, Janet loves that. Plus he has such respect for her as an artist and a huge star in her own right.”
