DeathWatch 08

winehouseemphysema.jpg

Amy Winehouse's recent hospitalization was evidently the best thing to ever happen to her, according to her father, Mitch. The troubled singer is reportedly not suffering from tuberculosis, but she has a host of other problems, including emphysema and looming death. Mitch breaks it down for us:

With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes her lungs are all gunked up. There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She's got 70 percent lung capacity.

When we got to the hospital a room was ready. Several doctors came in and checked to make sure she didn't need any emergency treatment. They put her on a drip straight away because she was dehydrated. She said, 'Don't worry about me, dad. I know I've got to stop taking drugs now.'

Here's hoping she actually means it.

    Yeah, uh huh. Just like last time she said she was going to stop taking drugs, I totally believe her!!

    I'm actually surprised she even had 70% lung capacity.

    Just because one finds fault with anorexia doesn't mean that one promotes obesity.

    Can't we all agree that being too fat or too thin are both bad things? I mean it may be a heart attack or heart failure, but either way you end up dead.

    Hello everyone!

    I am still enamored of the idea of a fat heart attack. Like, if we were doing a PSA against obesity and heart disease, he could be the bad guy. Sort of like the Mucinex loogey, but with arterial plaque.

    Chels, how is the business? I figure you have been really busy lately.

    She's sworn off drugs before. It's so tragic. So much talent, so many enablers, so little time left. And she makes Janis and Jimi & Jim seem so sober and together. This is already such a waste.

    Don't try to get too cool with fat heart attack. Or it will become f'hart attack. I guess then you can call it a myocardial inFARTion. Wakka wakka wakka!

    Didn't Tim Russert have some sort of congenital defect? Did I make that up?

    Yo, Ashley. Damn, you look beautiful.
    - Thanks. - Yo, check this.
    I was reminiscin' today. I was thinkin' about that time in seventh grade.
    We was all playin' spin the bottle at Lynn Eckert's house, remember?

    - I guess. - Yeah.
    Well, you and me, we never did get that kiss, right?
    But I had this mad flashback that you were starin' at me all night.
    Kind of giggling with your girlfriends. You remember that?
    Oh, I do remember that. You were eating Chee-tos.
    - Yeah. - And that orange stuff was all stuck…
    in your braces and nobody wanted to tell you.
    So you just kept on eatin' 'em. Oh, my God!
    Lynn and I thought that was the funniest thing.
    - Lynn, come over here! - What?
    Oh, my God. I'm tellin' little Kenny how we used to call him "Chester Chee-tos."
