If your weekend composed of weird antics with fans and paparazzi, almost passing out on the sidewalk, bizarre, filthy and potentially dangerous skin condition of unknown etymology, then congratulations, you happen to be Amy Winehouse. The Mail reports that Wino was pretty active this past weekend. First, she soaked her fans and photographers with a “high-powered jet” from her garage and then proceeded to take the paps on a run around the streets of London. On that run, she slumped down outside a shop and swung at no one in particular where she revealed her seriously black finger. She finally arrived back home by 3:30AM with a black coat over her head and red marks on her face.
Amy Winehouse has been banned from America after failing a drug test.
The singer applied for a visa to attend Sunday’s Grammys bash, but was denied as officials found traces of an un-named illegal drug in her blood following the test at the US Embassy in central London. Pals said Amy, 24, was “gutted” by the news yesterday, and fear it will affect her battle with drugs.
A spokesman said she accepts the ban. But a pal said she was “desperate” to perform at the Los Angeles bash - where she is up for six awards - adding: “It was her main incentive to get clean. It’s a blow.”
Amy is now expected to perform via a live satellite link to the awards ceremony.
Scott Weiland, the singer for the Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, was arrested when he crashed his car while driving on an LA highway on November 21. He has recently been charged with driving under the influence of drugs with a prior conviction and with an allegation that he refused a chemical test as required by the law.Los Angeles City Attorney spokesperson Frank Mateljan made a statement regarding Scott’s legal trouble saying that the singer faces “maximum penalty of one year county jail and a $1000 fine, and a minimum penalty eight days in jail (because of the prior conviction and the refusal to take a drug test). His car could also be impounded for up to 30 days.”
We’ve had a lot to say about Rehab singer Amy Winehouse of late. With her recent activities at her gigs, and her hubby in jail there has been a lot of speculation as to whether the 24-year-old is heading for a breakdown.
Now Liam Gallagher; notorious for his, let’s say, “Rock ‘n’ Roll” lifestyle; has warned Amy to tone down her wild ways before it gets out of control. Despite admitting that if he were still Amy’s age, he would probably be doing the same thing (if not more drugs), the Oasis singer said “She plays with fire, so she’ll get burnt. That’s the way it goes. If she knows what she is doing is not good, then she needs to back up a bit.”
And it’s not without reason. The troubled singer collapsed after an overdose in the summer and has since struggled to stay sober. And now further health fears have sparked after she looked painfully thin while visiting her husband Blake Fielder Civil at London’s Pentonville Prison on Thursday.
Amy you have the backing of legend musical names such as Andrew Lloyd Webber and Liam Gallagher, but only you can help you. Perhaps it really is time for some Rehab.
Kate Moss’ ex junkie fiancé Pete Doherty says he’s sorry for being a crack head. Yesterday there was a video of Pete injecting himself with heroin. The video was reportedly filmed right after he got back from the MTV European Music Awards in Germany. I feel sorry for him. You gotta understand that your body creates receptors for drugs like these, and your body goes through physical withdrawals if you stop feeding those receptors. It’s hard to give up such a hard drug because you have the mental AND the physical effects to get through. And he’s going right back to rehab, so he’s trying. The most important thing for this junk head is that he should not give up on the feel that he is trying and that some day he will find success in leaving his addiction for good. Basically it’s the medical staff that should make him believe that he can do it his is on the right path and he is going to achieve it. If he remains on path he has a chance of quitting drugs
