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.

When we think of Andy Dick, we never picture him sober or acting in a way that is acceptable in society. So news that he was arrested early this morning outside of a California Buffalo Wild Wings and charged with drug possession and sexual battery (groping a 17-year-old) really comes as no surprise.

The 42-year-old not-so-funny man is still in custody with bail set at $5,000. Good luck finding someone willing to pay that.

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?

Yay! Time for another game of Guess That Bleep. Much like with Mad Libs, your job is to find the appropriate word or phrase to fill in the space left vacant by mass media’s increasingly arbitrary standards of decency.

Today’s is a doozy:

Which cocaine-loving actress is said to be relying on her closeted husband to meet guys? A source says that when they were at a party recently, the hubby asked a fellow guest, “Do you want to [bleep] my wife? Because you can.”

Gawd, how awful are famous people?

Anyway, our guess is, “Do you want to get a great blueberry muffin recipe from my wife? Because you can.” Your turn; have fun with it.

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.

There are way too many times when reality TV misses all the good moments in someone’s life, forcing the cast to reshoot the scene or just sit around discussing it in detail to catch up the audience. Unfortunately for Corey Haim, this is not one of those times. The less stable of The Two Coreys had a complete breakdown on set, ordering out demands like a diva and staying holed up in his trailer for five hours while the crew lost daylight. Oh, and then you can hear him snorting drugs (or at least it sounds like it) while he unknowingly kept his mic turned on. Sometimes reality TV is too much of a reality.

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.

His full — and surprisingly readable — blog post, after the jump.

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?

Stupid tabloids, stars aren’t like us at all! That’s why, despite the fact that she was arrested in early June in Manhattan for buying both crack and powder cocaine, Oscar winning junkie Tatum O’Neal was yesterday allowed to plead guilty to a lesser charge of disturbing the peace.

Her punishment for disrupting the placidity of New York with her multiple cocaine purchases is two drug treatment classes and a $95 fine. Try pulling that off as a Dominican mother of two on welfare!

WHO IS FLUENT IN CRACK TALK? “British rocker Pete Doherty is reportedly set to lay bare the details of his stormy relationship with ex-girlfriend Kate Moss in a new autobiography. Babyshambles frontman Doherty has teamed up with author and ex-drug addict Sean Boru to write the ‘intensely personal biography’ which will focus heavily on the 29-year-old’s tumultuous relationship with the supermodel. Boru says: ‘The whole premise of the book is Pete talking about Kate Moss and the sex and drugs and rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle they shared.’”

Which naive actress didn’t make any excuses as she sat in her party dress and sniffed cocaine off her mate’s hand in the middle of a party?

Sure, it’s probably not Dakota Fanning, but that picture was the only way we could add even a hint of spice to yet ANOTHER blind item about drugs. Can we please get over this shock at young celebrities doing drugs, world? Yes, famous people do drugs. Yes, there’s probably better things they could be doing with their time. Let’s move on.

Does everyone else agree, or have we just been in New York for too long?

WE CAN’T IMAGINE WHY THAT DIDN’T WORK “Mel Gibson tried to play matchmaker between his son and Britney Spears, it has been claimed. … The Braveheart actor tried to hook Britney up with one of his twin sons, Edward – who was recently in rehab for cocaine and alcohol addiction.”

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?

After the jump: More incoherent ramblings, including discussion of Amy’s interest in a threesome.

I don’t like treating celebrities … It’s not a group I would seek out of a population I would necessarily treat as a separate goal because they’re very, very difficult.

-Celebrity Rehab star Dr Drew Pinsky

We have a couple guesses …

This black female celebrity has the most carefully manufactured image in Hollywood. She comes across as modest but in reality she is a functional cocaine and “X” addict; and she also indulges in designer drugs. Before she hooked up with her recent boyfriend, he used to complain to friends that when he first met her, he had no idea that she indulged in so many drugs due to her carefully crafted image. Sadly, she encouraged him to indulge, and now-they are both on a variety of drugs.

This woman can really turn it on for the camera but behind the scenes she is extremely rude. Famous people who have worked with her say, she doesn’t even acknowledge you, it’s as if you are invisible. Several famous men in the same field were big fans, they got a rep to arrange a visit when she arrived in their town and they looked forward to presenting her with flowers and expensive gift baskets. She walked right by them despite their fame and refused the gifts. If you work for this woman, you cannot have eye contact with her and you must speak to her through a third person at all times.

Amy Winehouse’s weekend of fun continued Saturday with yet another ironic-but-not-in-a-funny-way performance of “Rehab,” and this time she threw in a new dance move to go along with the Withdrawal Shakes: the Fan Punch. Watch and learn.
