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 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?

KELSEY GRAMMER'S HEART TROUBLES CONTINUE "Television star Kelsey Grammer is back in hospital with an irregular heartbeat, two months after suffering a heart attack the actor has said nearly killed him, a celebrity news program reported Monday. The 53-year-old actor, best known from 'Cheers' and his sitcom 'Frasier,' has checked into a hospital in New York after feeling faint, 'Entertainment Tonight' said."

Amy Winehouse was released from the hospital for a few hours last night to rehearse for an upcoming gig at Nelson Mandela's birthday party. Couldn't the staff handcuff her to the bed? That seems to be the best solution at the moment.

Meanwhile, Amy's rep was hard at work on the spin machine, explaining that reports that Amy has emphysema are exaggerations:

[Amy suffers from] scarring of the lungs which could lead to emphysema. If she keeps doing the wrong things, then it could lead to it. If she does the right things, it won't.

So, naturally, Amy reportedly smoked a cigarette upon walking out of the hospital. Because she's serious about her health.

ARE THESE PEOPLE STUPID? "Amy Winehouse remained hospitalized Tuesday morning after tests on the troubled singer — who fainted in her London home on Monday — proved 'inconclusive.'"

CAMERON HOSPITALIZED? "Cameron Diaz is seeking medical attention after the sudden death of her beloved father, according to her What Happens In Vegas co-star Ashton Kutcher. … He told a WENN photographer, 'Sadly she will not be joining us for the premiere as she has just lost her father and is under medical attention with stress at the moment. But she will be better soon.'"

Last night on American Idol, David Cook chose to sing "Little Sparrow" from the Dolly Parton songbook. It was, to borrow some Randy Jackson lingo, another solid performance from David — who was rushed to the hospital after the show finished taping.

David was reportedly experiencing heart palpitations and high blood pressure during the show but stayed until the end against producers' requests. He was released late last night after being given medication to lower his blood pressure.

According to an Idol exec, David has been stressed because his brother Adam, who has cancer, experienced a setback this past week. (Side note: The AC on David's guitar is in honor of Adam.)

Jessica Simpson checked into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Friday to treat a minor kidney infection. The singer, who was kept over the weekend for observations, is scheduled to be released Tuesday. The fact that we're just now hearing about this three days later is proof that nobody really cares about Jessica — not even her boyfriend, Tony Romo, who has been in Dallas this whole time.

Prince's fine-ass hips are in trouble! After decades spent touring and humping and touring some more, the 49-year-old musical genius' body has finally succumbed to too much crotch gyration and too little support from assless pants, and he's going to need surgery to remedy the problem.

"He is totally crushed because he knows he will never be the same again."

The surgery will involve removing the ball and socket of Prince's damaged hip and replacing it with a titanium joint.

The Purple Rain singer is allegedly booking into a private hospital and aides have reportedly cleared two months from his diary to allow him time to recover from the operation.

While Prince will indeed recover from the operation, his reputation as a sex machine is now forever dead. Bury it right next to Gene Simmons'.

Because we know how much you've missed the crotch-smashing, barfy antics of the on-hiatus Jackass crew, here's the stunt responsible for Johnny Knoxville's torn urethra and subsequent bloodied underwear.

After the jump, the potentially NSFW image of Knoxville's gory long johns and his explanation of the injury.

GRAVE MISTAKE "More than four years after his death, John Ritter's relatives are taking their $67 million lawsuit to trial Tuesday, claiming the actor would have survived if two doctors had recognized his heart abnormality and not treated it as a heart attack. The procedure for treating a heart attack is the 'exact opposite' of what a patient with Ritter's condition would have undergone, according to legal papers filed by lawyers for the plaintiffs."

TAILSPIN "Sources at UCLA Medical Center tell TMZ Britney Spears has been classified as 'G.D.' — Gravely Disabled. That is a huge and dangerous deal. That means the patient is unable to take care of basic needs, such as the acquisition of food, clothing or shelter. Being G.D. is one of the criteria for involuntary commitment…Britney accused her mother of sleeping with her boyfriend…[she] screamed, 'The only reason she's admitting me is because she wants to be alone with her boyfriend! She wants to sleep with my boyfriend!!' Britney never said exactly who she was talking about."

Big news: while you were sleeping, Britney Spears was once again being involuntarily hospitalized as a danger to herself and others. Nobody left her alone like castrato harbinger Chris Crocker warned, and finally it all got to be too much.

The situation unfolded thusly: Following some weird interaction they had over the phone, Britney's mother started the evening worried that her daughter might try to kill herself. Britney did not try to kill herself, but if she did nobody could really blame her, which is perhaps why her psychiatrist made a house call later that night. Lacking confidence in her abilities, the psychiatrist called the police and told them Britney's "downhill behavior" and reckless driving made her fear for the pop star's safety and the safety of those around her. An absurdly large fleet of police escorts and ambulances fueled with taxpayers' money were dispatched to haul a calm Britney – codenamed "The Package" – to the UCLA Medical Center's psych wing, where she will remain for an undetermined amount of time.

Crazy, huh?
