Amy Winehouse Needs to Go to Rehab

In her hit single “Rehab,” British songstress Amy Winehouse sings that “they tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no.” Perhaps she ought to reconsider. Winehouse canceled two U.K. concerts in a row after going on an alcoholic binge following her break-up with her boyfriend. After her second cancellation, her management issued this statement:

“Following last night’s postponement, and once again owing to unforeseen circumstances, tonight’s show at Shepherds Bush Empire has been postponed. Last night’s show has been re-scheduled for May 28th and tonight’s show has been rescheduled for May 29th. March 8th tickets will be valid for the May 28th show and March 9th tickets will be valid for the May 29th date. Amy would like to apologise to her fans. She hasn’t taken these decisions lightly and hopes that her fans will understand.”

However, spies around London tell a very different story — one of Winehouse bar-hopping all day and night, eventually becoming so drunk she was unable to walk. She had to be dragged out of the bar by a cab driver, says a witness. The troubled singer has a long history of being drunk on stage and in interviews — and was caught with cocaine up her nose by British photogs earlier this year — but this is a new low for her.

The binge was triggered by a break-up with her boyfriend Alex, a London chef. “Amy is gutted,” says a source, which I think is British for “heartbroken.” Hey, Amy, if you’re going to cancel two concerts to get drunk, you may as well cancel a month of concerts and check yourself into rehab, yes, yes, yes.

  • She’s coming apart. Enjoy her music. Watch and see how she comes out. Everyone worships a bad boy or the bad girl… from a distance. Get too close to them and its… night sweats, morning shakes, and a circle of wounded friends. Hats off to her for her tallent. Hopefully she’ll do better than Joplin, Hendricks, or a number of folks who thought wealth and fame were freedom from rules and a wide open opportunity to compensate for a belly of self doubt.

  • I think the popularity of this song probably encouraged her even more to not go into rehab. Apparently she almost went to Narconon Vista Bay, but then she didn't which was really stupid because apparently it is one of the best.

  • So not really on the same topic as your post, but I found this today and I just can’t resist sharing. Mrs. Agathe’s dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, “I’ll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you the check. Oh, and by the way…don’t worry about my Doberman. He won’t bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot!” When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agathe’s apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldn’t contain himself any longer and yelled, “Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!” To which the parrot replied, “Get him, Spike!”

  • My mum and I would like to develop a blog site much like this for our internet site, I stumbled across your site trying to get some ideas on the theme along with design. I am taking some html coding class in college and not confident that I would be able to produce a blog such as this one at this time. Did you code this website by yourself or hire an expert?

  • Quite a few of the ideas associated with this write-up are good nevertheless had myself wanting to know, did they genuinely imply that? One thing I have to say is your writing skills are very good and I will be coming back for any fresh blog post you come up with, you may possibly have a brand-new admirer. I book-marked your main site for personal reference.
