Not content with letting her husband soak up all the spotlight, Amy Winehouse’s mother has weighed in with her theories on the singer’s recent hospitalization.
The truth is that Amy ended up in hospital this week because she mixed up the medication she’s taking to help her come off drugs. She took a wrong tablet.
I really don’t think she’s using now. Being diagnosed with the early stage of emphysema was a real jolt to her. A bit of a wake-up call. Mind you, I think she does have the odd sneaky cigarette. Give her a break, she’s not a miracle worker.
Poor Amy doesn’t seem to stand a chance, seeing as how “crazy” and “delusional” run in her family.

We can’t help but wonder why the paparazzi even bother following around Bruce Willis, as he has become incredibly uninteresting in the wake of Crazy Britney and Winehouse – but he seems to be stepping up his game lately by lashing out at photographers. Although he should probably use something other than water next time he gets angry. Otherwise it’s just too predictable.

We knew there was quite a bit of fiction to Amy Winehouse’s rep’s claim that the singer was hospitalized Monday night due to a reaction to her anti-drug medication. Luckily for us, Mitch Winehouse, Amy’s father, is around to feed us even more lies.
See, his theory on the drug addict’s latest hospital visit is that her drink was spiked with ecstasy by a random person. But why stop there? It could have been a ghost — or perhaps a bird flew by and dropped something in the drink. The possibilities are endless! Anyway, he called the police to make sure they knew about the situation, at which point the cops presumably laughed in his face.
Good luck on your hunt for the perpetrator, Mitch. While you’re at it, why don’t you go look for the person who got your daughter wasted on booze and (most likely) drugs this past weekend and forced her to stumble around town barefoot?

Amy Winehouse was rushed to the emergency room last night after having a seizure, but don’t fret — she’s already been released. Her rep, Chris Goodman, is once again spinning the story the best way possible: “She was taking a new [medication] as part of her anti-drug treatment program. And it was an adverse reaction to that new drug.”
First off: “Anti-drug treatment program”? We’re supposed to buy that? Also, we’d be more inclined to believe Chris if he didn’t have such a bad habit of painting Amy in an obviously false light. Case in point: When Amy’s rep said the singer was treated for “exhaustion” last year, her father later confirmed she needed her stomach pumped due to a drug overdose.

For every great idea like Dingo Drop ‘08, there’s also a really, really terrible one — hence the latest revelation that Amy Winehouse plans to volunteer to help drug addicts.
One of Amy’s “friends” says that, despite obvious evidence to the contrary, the singer “has turned a corner” and “wants to make a difference and give something back to people who are battling with addictions.” Considering all of Amy’s friends at the moment are addicts (see also: Pete Doherty), we’ll chalk this up to drug-fueled ramblings.

Amy Winehouse has obviously not seen the latest Tyra wax statue, because she doesn’t seem to grasp the concept of Madame Tussauds figurines. Although she refused a sitting, the museum went ahead and created a statue of Amy by using photographs (and, presumably, visions from the artist’s nightmares).
But Winehouse was surprised to learn she would feature in the museum at all.
She tells New!: ‘I thought you had to be dead almost before they made a wax of you.’
That is actually not true at all, but let’s pretend for a minute it is: Why would Amy be surprised that she was chosen?

It’s a shame Amy Winehouse isn’t worried about her health because we are instead treated to her father’s public cries for attention. The latest statement from Mitch Winehouse informs all of us that Amy could die of emphysema. Sure, he said that last time — and it was just as unnecessary then as it is now, but it’s worth a second listen:
My biggest fear is that she would die, but she won’t die of a drug overdose. It won’t be that quick. She would die, unfortunately, of emphysema. We would be talking about a very slow and painful death, gasping for air.
I would ask any people who would supply her with substances to think on that. … I want people to understand — even if they give her one cigarette, they’re causing her harm.
That’s nice to keep blaming others for your daughter’s problems, Mitch, but what about when Amy supplies herself with cigarettes, as always seems to be the case? Whose fault is that?

At this point, describing what Amy Winehouse does in her spare time is like playing a game of Mad Libs: Last night, Amy left a pub carrying a lamp and a cardboard beer box in order to cover the white substance left in her nose.
Wow, that was fun. Almost as fun as Amy seems to be having, due to the fact that she has absolutely no desire to stay alive.

Want to know how serious Amy Winehouse is about her recovery? Yesterday she started her day by visiting a London rehab clinic — and then spent the rest of the day bar hopping. We would say she seems to have given up, but she never really even tried to begin with.

Yesterday The New York Times spit out a very important, “fit to print” article whose entire point could have been summed up with a single throw pillow from your Nana’s needlepoint days: money doesn’t make people happy; in fact, sometimes it makes them sad and stubborn. Sure, you could have figured as much after watching a single Amy Winehouse meltdown video on any crap tabloid show, or after taking a good look at the hardened addict Corey Haim, former boy prince, has become, but then you wouldn’t be spoon-fed, would you? And the Times always uses so many words!

Steve-O, who actually seems to be making a genuine effort to get his life back together, took to his MySpace blog to give details on his road to recovery. Specifically, he’s going to “the looney bin,” as he puts it, because his “brain is f–ked up.” We won’t argue there, especially after he lists all of the substances he’s taken during his lifetime. It’s a sad day when we wish Amy Winehouse would take notes from someone like Steve-O, but that’s the thing about celebrities: They keep us on our toes.

I guess I don’t really understand how the prison system works, especially overseas, because I have a few questions spurred by this weekend’s latest Amy Winehouse drama. Her husband, the lovely Blake Incarcerated, was caught (complete with photographic evidence) taking heroin in his London prison cell. Surprising, no? I really thought he was getting his act together.
So maybe this is naive of me, but why is he consistently able to get his grubby hands on illegal substances while being locked away in a prison cell? And who is this person taking the pictures? Do they allow cameras behind bars? And who is paying all of this money for exclusive photos of anyone Amy Winehouse-related taking drugs? Is this really breaking news?

Amy Winehouse is out of the hospital and free to roam the streets as she pleases, which is the good news (for her). The bad news is her husband, Blake Incarcerated, has been having a raunchy pen pal affair with a fellow inmate who recently recovered from her heroin addiction. We have a feeling it’s about to start back up.
The letters have been released to the media, and they’re a good read if you enjoy deciphering crack talk. Some of the highlights include when he admits he and Amy opened up their relationship because she’s been sleeping around and all he wants is a “loyal sweet, staunch, slutty girlfriend.” Oh, and when the two pen pals finally meet up, he plans to choke her as she is performing special “favors” for him. Who says chivalry is dead?
