Amy Winehouse has finally begun medical treatment for drug problems

[underpants]

Amy Winehouse has finally begun medical treatment for drug problems after cancelling all her concerts and appearing publicly in a state of distress.

The singer, who has admitted heroin use, hit a downward spiral after her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, 25, was remanded in Pentonville prison awaiting trial on charges of assault and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

A spokesman for her said: “After cancelling the remaining dates of her UK tour, due to physical and emotional strain, Amy Winehouse has been under the care of physicians. Amy and her family ask that her privacy is respected during this difficult time.”

Winehouse has complained about the publication of a picture of her in the back of a car with packages of what one report described as “white stuff”. Her spokesman said: “They were in fact the driver’s hand towels. It is standard practice for drivers to use these towels to wipe down windows and doors after rain. These towels are in the driver’s car at all times when he drives his clients. Any implication or suggestion otherwise would be unfair.”

23. "When did mediocrity and banality become a good image for your children? "

I want my children to listen to people who fucking ROCKED! I don't care if they died in puddles of their own vomit! I want someone who plays from his fucking HEART!

Gotta love Bill Hicks.

[Flaxbee]

17. but for a long time she said it was stupid to

do hard drugs (or so I've read) and didn't really start doing heroin and cocaine until she met her current husband. I thought she started singing when she was still 'clean', so to speak,and got a lot of her early rave reviews then. :shrug:

[Deep13]

19. yeah, i'm just being flippant. n/t

[Flaxbee]

20. thought as much...

just wondering if what I'd heard/read about her was right...

[underpants]

3. Yeah

I was going to post about how there were only 66 days left until she HAD to make an appearance at the Grammy and while looking for the latest pic of her I ran across this story.


Good luck to her.

[deucemagnet]

12. She used to be a very attractive woman.

[Fire Walk With Me]

18. I hope that someone, somewhere, gains a healthy respect for the effects of certain drugs

from pics such as this.

I hope that she's okay. Anyone who is consumed by such drugs has my compassion.

24. What a waste of coke or heroin. . .

My god, if you're going to use drugs, at least do it right. . .

[redqueen]

13. That's very good news.

I hope she gets some counseling, too.

[LynneSin]

[mitchum]

16. Is she also gonna return the eye make up she ripped off from Texacala Jones?

[graywarrior]

28. Frightening how much she reminds me of someone close.

I hope she survives this. I know too many who didn't.

Doesn't look like she's started rehab just yet.

Amy Winehouse: There Are No Words

London lady soul singer Amy Winehouse left home after powdering her nose (left) and was chauffeured to her first party stop -- where along the way, she decided that she'd change her pants (right) -- leaving paparazzi gaping at the half-naked, gap-toothed, beehived, lovelorn wreck.

After an evening of "entertainment," it appears that Wino lost her keys, and had to get back into her home, not by ringing for Jeeves, but by sliding under the gate.
