Bobby Brown Is Headed For Celebrity Fit Club, Whitney Houston Hits The Stage

Well, well looks like Bobby Brown has packed on the pounds. Bobby
and his double chin will be sweating it out on “Celebrity Fit Club” scheduled to air in 2010.

According to TMZ, he will be joined by cast members from “High School Musical”, “Baywatch” and “The Practice,” which will include Shar Jackson, Nicole Eggert, Tanisha Thomas, Casey Stroh, and Michael Badalucco. Is this the best Celebrity Fit Club can come up with?

I wonder if Bobby, who has always been tough to handle (to say the least) will succumb to the grueling boot camp and all the rules of “Celebrity Fit Club.” Many “stars” *cough* before him, like for instance Dustin (a-hole) Diamond aka “Screech” of “Saved By The Bell” fame, did not fair too well and had too much of an attitude to be on the show and ended up leaving.

Bobby’s track record of being an abusive crack smoking husband 
married to Whitney Houston (although she is not innocent by any means) certainly has crushed his popularity over the years.

Bobby better decide if he still wants to use his “My Prerogative” attitude or man up and stay on the show.

I happen to catch Bobby on D.L. Hughley’s show one night, and he sang My Prerogative, (it WAS a kick ass dance song) or I should say, he attempted to sing it. It was SO bad, it was painful to hear. His years of drug abuse, alcoholism and cigarettes really reeked havoc on his voice. It was totally shot. Don’t get me wrong, I do not have one smidgen of sympathy for this man.

His years or partying, abuse and just being an all around IDIOT have really caught up to him.

A Young Bobby Brown Back In  The Day

It's anyone's bet whether or not Brown will show up on "Celebrity Fit Club." The man can not seem to stay out of trouble. After all... he has been juggling living at two different homes over the years. *snicker*

But then again, ”reality” tv shows have to film their shows way in advance, so maybe this show has already wrapped?  Who knows. I just may have to tune into Celebrity Fit Club this time around, just to see Bobby sweating his butt off and being told what to do.

Will Whitney be at home watching with a big tub of popcorn? I only hope she will be tickled silly over getting to see a little pay back 
served up to Brown, rather than her cheering him on, because I never want to see Whitney, or anyone for that matter, looking like this again.

Crack is Definitely Whack!

To be fair, Bobby wasn’t all to blame for their insane relationship. It takes two to tango don’t forget. (geez! I sound like my Dad)
They were total partners in crime. And she should have left long ago. And of course Brown has always said that he never did cocaine before Whitney came along. HIS WORDS. Yeah ok.

I just know that I saw Whitney go from a vibrant and beautiful singer to an abused and skinny drug abuser after the two of them hooked up.

Their reality show they did together, “Being Bobby Brown” was short lived and a disaster, and Whitney ended up paying a huge price for standing by her man.

Now I was never a Whitney Houston fan, “I Will Always Love You,” has always pierced my brain, but she does have a beautiful voice. Even though her music is not my style, I do hope her recovery continues and that “The Voice” is able to get more of it back.

Her recent appearance singing on “Good Morning America” in Central Park and her talk with Oprah had her fans out in droves. Houston’s interview with Oprah was a far cry from her raspy voiced  interview with Diane Sawyer on Prime Time  (part 1) back in 2002, which is where her infamous “crack Is whack” quote came from. It was beyond obvious that she was in much denial, and very defensive. And Here is Part 2 of the interview, where she talks about her past missed appearances, drugs and actual footage of their marriage to Brown along with their 800 guests in her $40,000 wedding gown. 

In that interview, Whitney and Bobby were already married for 10 years and at that time she said she didn’t want to let go of Brown. I am just glad, as well as her fans, she finally did let go of him.
Bobby ends up joining the interview later on and denied he ever hit her and he said he was diagnosed as being bi-polar and denied all other drug use except smoking pot. *snicker* (Here are parts 3, 4, and 5 of that  2002 interview  if you are interested.)

Whitney’s recent interview with Oprah was like night and day in comparison to the interview with Diane Sawyer back in 2002. She looked like Whitney again. Finally Whitney came clean about the drug abuse, Bobby’s physical abuse and his infidelity and how her mother saved her life with an intervention and valiantly had Whitney removed from her house and forced her into rehab. Thank you Mom!

Her recent performance on GMA in Central Park definitely showed how much her voice has suffered from years of ”partying” and it was quite obvious that she wasn’t able to sing all the parts of the song and she seemed quite winded.

Rumors have it that ABC “digitally sweetened” her songs as reported by Gawker. But  it didn’t matter to her fans one iota, who seemed very elated to see her and were there to support her. Whitney is very fortunate that so many of her fans have never left her side.

Now back to Bobby…

Bobby’s fans? He has never had anywhere near as many as Whitney to begin with, and the ones he had, I think have totally given up on him for the most part. Partly because he has dropped out of the music scene long ago and because people blamed Bobby for ruining Whitney’s life. 

The man has always been his own demise. So your guess is as good as mine as to what the future will hold for him. My gut feeling is that he isn’t done abusing himself or others and he may stay clean for a while, but I don’t know how long that will last.

He is destined for a meeting with karma somewhere down the line, and he’s the only one who can change that.

Kanye West Wins MTV’S Coveted “Douchebag Of The Year” Award

Every once in a while, the world of entertainment outdoes itself in douche-yness, even beyond its standard level of douchedome. Last night was just the night for such heights of douchery. Ok, I think I’ve given “douche” its props.

KANYE WEST (all caps, just the way he likes it) is well known for being an opinionated, obnoxious ass, but he went too far last night during Taylor Swift’s acceptance for “Best Female Video” for her hit song, “You Belong With Me.” Taylor, who had just begun her gracious speech was saying, “I always dreamed about what it would be like to win one of these one day. I never thought it would happen.”, when Kanye burst on to the stage, grabbing the mic from the startled Swift and dropped this gem, “Hey Taylor, I’m really happy for you, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.

There was all the requisite booing and hissing from the audience and poor, sweet Taylor (she really does seem sweet, hence why we’ve never talked about her on Glosslip) was clearly confused and embarrassed.

I am sure there are a million blogs blabbing about this incident today in defense of Taylor and outraged by Kanye, but this is hardly a one-time moment of stupidity for West. West has made a cottage industry off of his boorish, loutish and garish displays of arrogance, inhumanity and a general lack of appreciation for his fellow artists. Dude is an A-ONE ASSHOLE. So much so, I know many people who refuse to listen to his otherwise good music because they JUST CAN’T STAND HIM.

There is a place for assertiveness and confidence, but that place is not during someone else’s acceptance speech — and this was hardly U2’s Bono up there accepting their billionth award. This was a young woman (19) who is at the beginning of what will hopefully be a long career. In the world of bad role models for girls, Taylor Swift is like a breath of fresh air, with her tasteful and girlish appeal and seemingly genuine sweetness. I am no country music fan, but I have nothing but good things to say about Swift and her music.

What Kanye West did was single-handledly dismiss a young woman who WRITES HER OWN SONGS, PLAYS HER OWN INSTRUMENTS and CAN PACK ARENAS. And it’s not just kids who like her, lots of adults dig her too.

No offense against Beyonce, who was herself very gracious by calling Swift on stage with her during her acceptance for “Best Video Of The Year,” but this doesn’t change the fact Beyonce is manufactured entertainment, NOT a musician. Here’s Beyonce’s moment of true class:

There is a real difference between an artist like Swift and Beyonce, whether folks want to admit it or not. And keeping in true form, West was clearly not stricken with any sense of shame, even after being admonished by fiesty singer Pink. More from MTV’s blog:

His protest against Swift, however, was not well received. West stood briefly on the stage after his comments as the crowd was silent. Audience members then began to clap in support of Swift after West left the stage.

According to reports from inside the house, once cameras cut away from the action, West flipped off the crowd and returned to his seat. Wale then said to the crowd, “You can’t blame a man for speaking his mind.” His words were met with boos, and Wale then said, “Kanye, I tried.” During the next commercial break, Pink walked by the rapper and appeared to shake her head in disgust before security escorted her away. West remained steadfast amidst the commotion as he kissed his girlfriend Amber Rose.

The testament of a true artist (and human for that matter) is the ability to see the world around you and recognize your place in it, and hopefully learn from your mistakes. Kanye is clearly incapable of learning, growing or maturing from his. I hope the ghost of his deceased mom, the only person who seemed to have any influence over his bloated ego, visits him and slaps the crap of him and tells him it’s NOT ok to disrespect women. That’s Chris Brown’s job DAMMIT.

*The use of caps was Kanye approved for this post!

Brad Pitt Is Full Of Sh*t!

Oh Bradley, Bradley, Bradley! I knew you were an enormous dumb-dumb, but I had no idea you were THAT dumb. Didn’t your main ho Angie tell your to keep your best kept secrets…well…secret?

Brad, dad to the world’s largest growing child army, has been doing press for his new movie Inglourious Basterds and told Bill Maher during an appearance on his show about how he gave up toking the sweetleaf when he started reproducing with the succubus known as Angelina Jolie. The fact that Brad was/is a pothead is hardly a shock to anyone…it’s like one of the most well-known facts in all of Hollywood, right behind Lindsay Lohan being a cokehead and Paris Hilton having a CDC condemned vagina. Below is the interview where he tells Bill he’s stopped smoking pot for his kids:

But Brad apparently wasn’t counting on his good pal and the director on his latest film, Quentin Tarantino, to rat him out as a lie-teller during an interview with Howard Stern. Oh, this delicious piece of irony tastes sweeter than the blood of virgins Madonna bathes in nightly. You can listen to Quentin talk about how Brad busted out a brick o’ hash here. Yes, hash. You know, that stuff Afghan farmers grow and that politicians tell us in contributing to the war and bloodshed in poor Middle-Eastern countries. The same countries where Angie visits as a Goodwill Ambassador and preaches about the suffering of their people. One has to wonder how Brad and Angie plan to help these undeveloped and war-torn countries turn their pot crops into vegetable crops while they continue to create demand to the suppliers. It’s a double-edged sword isn’t Brad, to be both self-righteous and self-serving at the time same time.

I am not saying I disagree with Brad about legalizing marijuana or that he and Angie aren’t trying to do humanitarian things. I guess my point is DON’T be a fricken hypocrite and act like you are somehow above “doing illegal drugs” now that you are a dad, when clearly, Brad’s puffing on the good stuff. If you really want to “legalize” marijuana, admit you smoke and attest to its virtues. Why make suggestions that smoking pot and raising kids can’t go hand in hand, when clearly YOU ARE DOING JUST THAT?

Somewhere in all of this is a lesson about being honest to yourself and your public. For me personally, I always knew Brad was a terrible liar, but now the whole world knows. Don’t worry though, I am sure he’s getting his punishments from Angie, one leather strap-on session at a time.

Mischa Barton: One Very Messy Trainwreck

I tend to ignore people like Mischa Barton because they are so cluelessly unaware of the world’s perception of them, that it makes it a severe waste of time pointing out the obvious. Sadly, even Mischa has made herself impossible to ignore.

A bit of Mischa history. Barton was a model and sometimes actress, best known for her role on the “O.C.”, a fairly popular show going back a few years. Mischa is also known for hanging with the other Hollywood messes Lindsay Lohan, the reformed Nicole Ritchie and her herp-infected pal Paris Hilton. Even these skanks knew better than to keep hanging out with Mischa, as her life began to spiral out of control.

Many a blind item has been devoted to Barton’s coke habits, possible meth addiction and alcoholic endeavors. It seems Mischa’s successes in life revolve around her love-life — when that fails, she fails. When she dated Cisco Adler she kept herself mostly together, but since then, she’s had a string of failed relationships and her struggles to maintain stability have become quite public, including a DUI, numerous reports of drug and alcohol binges, as well as a stalled career.

In the last two weeks Mischa has been forced to come to terms with her out of control behavior, landing her Cedars Sinai Hospital under a 5150 – which is essentially a mandatory hold placed a person who is deemed a danger to themselves, or possibly others. Reports have stated that after a 3-day drug binge (possibly on cocaine) Mischa flipped out and called the police with threats of suicide.

Now, a video has surfaced of Mischa doing an interview for Handbag TV, after a recent opening at Harrod’s in London. Homegirl is a certified mess. Being an “older” person, I have some familiarity with people “under the influence” but I have never seen someone this obviously whacked out on something. Her eyes pupils are HUGE, she can’t stand still, she’s fidgeting, staring off into space and what the EFF is with her voice? Honestly, she looks TERRIBLE and this should be a huge wake-up call to Mischa and those around her.

What Was And What Should Never Be

I may be an old fuddy duddy, but where are the responsible people in these young starlets lives and why aren’t they looking out for them? Mischa’s sister Hania tried to commit suicide in 2008 and has been seen looking completely out of it also – WTF? If I had two kids that lost, I would definitely be doing something. Shame on her parents, shame on her friends, shame on her handlers.

Mischa, when you make people like Lindsay Lohan worried for you and telling you that you need help — YOU NEED HELP!

Let’s get on this already.

Amy Winehouse Returns To England, Same Trainwreck, Different Weave

wenn2503635

The always fresh, sober and clean Amy Winehouse has returned to the scene of many of her crimes after spending a whopping 6 months on the island of St. Lucia. I’d like to say that the island air has cured her of her many debilitating addictions, but it’s a little too early to celebrate.

Wino, 25, was back in England to face assault charges and is supposed to be working on a new album. From The Sun:

The Back to Black singer flew into London from St Lucia, after a six month break, and burst into tears as soon as she hit British soil.

She looked healthier than when she left, with a clearer complexion and a light tan and, despite her red eyes, her spokesman said she was “really happy to be back and can’t wait to catch up with family and friends.”

The 25-year-old decided to return 10 days ahead of a court appearance on an assault charge,

She is accused of assaulting Sherene Flash after last September’s Berkeley Ball and will appear at Westminster Magistrates Court on July 23.

The troubled star is also set to go straight back to work on a new album amid reports that her record company, Island Records, have lost patience and rejected several newly penned songs.

The singer ditched her signature crackhive for a more subtle do, and looks cleaner and healthier than she has in a while, but don’t let that fool you. Unlike say Hollywood’s finest cokewhores Lindsay and Mischa, Wino is a REAL crackhead and has committed herself to the pipe.

If I sound harsh, it’s with good reason — tough love is needed in this case.

Amy public battle with a serious addiction to drugs has continued for almost two years now, and despite being caught on tape smoking crack, and bragging about taking other drugs, Wino’s problems persist. Don’t let the lack of grime fool you.

She has yet to pull off a decent performance. Each time she stages a mini comeback, in ends in disaster. Her parents have administered their own version of tough love, what I like to call: waiting til she dies and collecting a fat paycheck.

I will never understand how a parent could give up so quickly on their child, as Amy’s have. Say what you want about Britney Spears dad Jamie, he stepped up and took charge. Britney may hate him for his controlling ways, but no one can deny she’s kept her nose clean during this comeback tour. The man has my respect, regardless of his true intentions (re: $$$$$). Look at it this way: Britney’s two boys have their mom back, something that seemed like distant possibility just a year ago.

St. Lucia wasn’t the “clean up your act” vacation folks has hoped for Amy. She merely traded in her addiction to deadly drugs, for other addictions, like booze and pot. I am not against people having fun and getting their party on, but someone like Amy doesn’t have an off switch like most of us do. There are people out who just can’t help themselves, and Amy is a real, bona fide drug addict who has two options for her future, a ugly drug-related death or a sober-only life.

Amy is a talented woman, but this whole pursuit of the “live hard and leave a rotten corpse life” ala Keith Moon style isn’t going to secure her place in rock n’ roll history. Amy seems to live under the warped perception that only pain, delusion and heartache drives her talent. Billie Holiday is NOT impressed.

Amy, dying for your art is so last century.

Amy Winehouse Has Found A New Man!

amyjoshuaOur favorite little crackhead and soul singer Amy Winehouse seems to have found a new shoulder to cry on, or at least suck her thumb on. Seriously, what’s with sucking the thumb?

According to these photos, the still-married, often-troubled star from Camden has spent the holidays on St. Lucia getting some much needed R & R (and some food and sun too, thankfully) and while letting her weave breathe, she’s some how attracted a real man. And by real man we mean one with muscles, body hair, no visible tattoos and he seems to have all his teeth intact. In fact, I’d say this fellow of Amy’s is downright handsome.

amyjosh2It’s great to see that Amy has gained a bit of weight and put some color on her white, pasty, clammy skin. If it weren’t for her horrifying grill (whitening strips and a trip to the dentist could make a WORLD of difference in this young woman) she’d look downright, well, ok.

Absent from this holiday is the sun (nod to you Brits) is estranged husband and fellow crackhead Blaaaaaaaaaake Fielder-Civil, and clearly not missed. Amy and Blake have not seen each other since their brief shag, visit while Amy was still in a clinic recovering from a “lung infection”. Since then Blake has been returned to jail after violating his early release when he failed a drug test in rehab. Stupid is as stupid does. Fortunately, being the affable bloke Blake is, he made some new friends back in jail.

Amy, pictured above with her new man, Jooooooosssshhhhua Bowman, seems a little like her old self, though clearly a bit less fresh than she used to be. Josh, a former rugby player/actor?, met Amy while he was vacationing with his family in the Caribbean, and had blabbed to the tabs about it:

“She’s just a cool girl, very nice, and we’re just very friendly,” is said to be on the island with his mother and sister. He is a former player with rugby team Saracens and has since turned to acting.

He adds of his new friend, “She’s a good laugh – she is such a lovely girl and on great form. I can’t say much more than that.”

Also in Amy news, she has dropped an appeal on a drug charge stemming from an arrest for marijuana possession in Norway, and has paid a fine which means she won’t have to appear in court on January 12. Lucky Norway. But just in case you thought the crazy train rolled out of the station, rest assured, Amy still has a long way to go before we can call her “cured.” Evidence after the jump NSFW, I REPEAT, NSFW.


But wait, there’s more…

Amy Winehouse Continues To Amaze Us With Her Lack Of Interest In Living

I know it’s been a while (what like five days or something) since we mentioned the UK’s most infamous crackhead, but with these new photos emerging (via the two-snaps up DListed.com) you just can’t ignore what has to be a new turn for the worse in the embattled soul singer’s life.

Amy, who was slated to appear at the “End Of Summer Ball” in London last night appeared to be worse than ever. Winehouse, a unique-looking individual as it is, has become frighteningly thin, extremely disheveled and has taken on the appearance of a homeless person in the last year. Granted, we know she’s battling a debilitating drug addiction, major health issues and emotional stress due to her husband BLAAAKKKKKEEEE’s incarceration, but Jeebus Tapdancing McCains, what the hell?

Here’s more about Amy’s latest dramas from the Daily Mail:


Wearing scruffy animal print shorts, the troubled star looked shockingly skinny and ill as she performed at the End of Summer Ball in London’s Berkeley Square last night.With her gaunt physique, unkempt hair, smudged makeup and scratches on her legs the singer looked more unwell than ever.

The 25-year-old admitted she was on the verge of a breakdown after a night of worryingly shambolic behaviour — even by her standards.

The troubled star embarrassed herself by ruining her 12-year-old goddaughter’s debut singing performance and lashing out at a photographer before collapsing and sobbing: ‘Life can’t go on. I can’t do this any more.’

The singer was at the Berkeley Square Ball in Mayfair to provide backing vocals for her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield.

But onlookers were shocked at how out of it Amy was, and the audience at the charity bash cringed as she grabbed and hugged Dionne as she tried to perform.

The pair were joined on stage by a live band and one of Amy’s backing singers for the three-song set.

We’re told: ‘It was tragic — she seemed totally wasted. She was jumping all over Dionne as the poor girl tried to sing for the crowd. Amy didn’t really sing a single note — it sounded more like she was grunting down the mic.’

At the end of the performance, Amy’s backing singer told the crowd: ‘Isn’t she great? She’s only 12-years-old!’

But Amy crowed: ‘She’s better than you — it doesn’t matter how old she is.’
She then roamed from table to table, demanding to meet famous people.

Sugababe Heidi Range was sent to talk to her but couldn’t keep her attention long.

Our spy said: ‘Amy was then asked to pose for the event’s official photographer, but flipped and tried to headbutt him. She looked like a woman possessed.’

But backstage things took a turn for the worse. Our spy adds: ‘Amy collapsed backstage in tears. She kept saying, ‘Life can’t go on, I can’t do this’.’

It was a sorry return to the public eye for Amy, who has kept a low profile recently.

She arrived at her Camden home at the end of the night with only one shoe and looking horribly dishevelled.

I remember seeing pics of Britney Spears just before her father took over her estate and became her guardian, and I feel the same way now seeing Amy: death is imminent.

Both women possess a lot of charisma and talent, but were/are clearly incapable of taking on the adult responsibility needed to get their lives in order. Fortunately for Britney, her father didn’t wait until it was too late to save his daughter, and we can all say we were witnesses to Britney’s hard climb back to being among the living. Amy, on the other hand, is saddled with the worse kind of enablers, as well as what appears to be a stubborn streak a mile wide.

Amy’s father Mitch only too cheerfully releases statement after statement about his daughter “being fine” and suffering from “bad medication interactions” or accuses people of “slipping” Amy drugs, when in reality, we all know what’s going on. Amy is addicted to drugs and can’t on her own escape the vice-like grip they have over her fragile psyche. I don’t want to pass judgment on Amy’s parents, but for heaven’s sake, please do something now, because “too late” is right around the corner for this shell of human.

This is sad, even I can’t find anything snarky to say which means we should all beware of frost warnings in hell.

Amy Winehouse: They Tried To Make My Blaaaaaaaaakey Go To Rehab But He Said No N…Oh, Forget It

I know it’s a tired and worn-out gag by now, but what am I supposed to do?  It just writes itself!  I’m just the conduit!

For the second time in about a week, Amy Winehouse’s husband Blake Whatever-Whatever turned down his “Get Out Of Jail Free” card.  The first time it was because he’d rather stay in jail than go live with his mum, and this time it’s because he doesn’t want to go to rehab, go directly to rehab, do not pass Go, do not collect $200:

AMY WINEHOUSE’s junkie husband BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL has rejected a second chance to leave jail early — after prison bosses said he would have to go straight into rehab.

They offered to cut his stay at Suffolk’s Edmunds Hill prison by more than two months if he agreed to the detox. But he turned down the deal.

A week ago he was told he would be released if he went to live with his mother in Nottinghamshire and wore an electronic tag.

But again he chose his grubby life behind bars over freedom.

What a lovely bloke and caring husband he is.

Last night a friend of Amy said: “This will be another blow for her. Blake could have gone to rehab and sorted himself out but would rather see out his sentence in prison.

“All he wants is a free reign when he leaves, which means living with Amy back in Camden.

“But if he is turning down these chances to leave jail and get clean, it doesn’t bode well for him and Amy when he finally does get out.”

I’m telling you, this guy sounds like a winner.  Where can I get me one of these?

I mean, I know it is extremely difficult to kick a drug habit, but this guy isn’t even trying…he isn’t even half-heartedly trying.  He isn’t even acting like he’s trying.  It’s just two fingers up to the world.

Seriously…what kind of husband decides to stay in jail instead of getting out early to see the wife whom he supposedly loves dearly?  The same wife who has declared her undying love for him (with one or two detours, of course, but who’s counting…it isn’t like he hasn’t gotten a bit “distracted” himself behind bars)?  The wife who gives him shoutouts (when she’s capable of performing), who came to the trial (well, some of it), who visited him in prison (sometimes), who undoubtedly pays for his drugs (the most likely scenario)?

A selfish, self-centered, drug-addicted junkie, that’s who.  I doubt it will happen, but the best thing Amy could do is kick his sorry butt to the curb once he does finally wander out of jail.  This guy doesn’t want to get clean, like he’s promised Mitch Winehouse, and he doesn’t want to make a new life with his wife, helping her to kick her own filthy drug habit.  No, like too many addicts, he just wants his own way and he’s just biding his time until he gets it.  At this rate, neither he nor Amy will be able to stay clean for any length of time at all once he does finally emerge.

Besides, why would he want to leave?  All the drugs he wants and no Amy to beat him up!  He’s probably kicking himself for not thinking of it sooner!

I mean, they’re basically trying to throw him OUT of jail, and he just won’t go away!

“‘EY, prisioner, go ‘ome!”
“Nooooooooooo…I wonna stay ‘ere!”

Amy Winehouse Might Have Brain Damage

This is your brain.  This is your brain on drugs.

Despite what it might look like, I’m not trying to be funny or poke fun at singer Amy Winehouse.  No, it seems that Amy just might really have damaged some brain cells with two major overdoses in the past year, including a 36-hour hash marathon and enough illegal drugs to kill a horse:

The singer, 24, suffered two major overdoses, with such bad convulsions that they were “like a scene from The Exorcist”.

And her body is so frail from drug use that doctors were scared she would break bones during a fit.

A close pal of Amy’s laid bare the truth – warning medics said one more overdose will probably kill her.

Her first OD was back last August, when she overdid it on cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, ketamine and crystal meth.  She was advised at that time to seek psychiatric help because she displayed “multiple personality traits” that made her a suicide risk.

And remember the last time she was taken to the hospital, when her father said to the media that it was just a bad reaction to her medication?  Well, only if she’s toking up for medicinal purposes:

Her second overdose was in July – when she inhaled an “inhuman” amount of hash that left her vomiting uncontrollably and hallucinating.

At the time devoted dad Mitch, 54, said it was a “bad reaction to her medication”.

Medics are worried Amy’s brain was damaged by the cannabis overdose – she displayed symptoms normally associated with schizophrenia.

The pal yesterday said: “The future is bleak, bleak, bleak.

“Mitch does everything he can to protect his daughter – but his ‘explanation’ for Amy’s hospital dash in July was just simply untrue.

“She had smoked an inhuman amount of hash which resulted in acute cannabis poisoning. You have to take a s***load of pot to suffer that severe a reaction.

“It’s thought she had been smoking it for 36 hours.

“Amy’s fits were as bad as the convulsions she had during her overdose in August last year. No one has mentioned her meth use before – but that stuff is truly nasty.

“She is in need of years of psychiatry and medical treatment if she has a hope.”

It’s bad enough that Amy, for whatever reason (childhood trauma related to her parent’s divorce, depression at being separated from husband Blaaaaaaaaake, etc) has decided that drugs are more important than her talent, obligations, and life.  It’s bad enough that she has decided to self-destruct rather than deal with her life in a mature fashion.  But to have her legions of fans, who come out en masse whenever I do one of these stories, stick up for her and say how misunderstood she is and how everybody just needs to leave her alone and let her live her life, is just as sickening as Amy’s throwing her life down the toilet.  Here we have the consequences of “leaving her alone” and “letting her live her life”…a drug addict with possible brain damage.

I like Amy and I would love to see her clean up her life.  I realize that she has a problem.  After a while, the drugs take hold and you’re just along on a crazy rollercoaster ride.  But at some point, you can make the decision to get off and seek help.  And of all the stars I’ve seen in the press doing self-destructive things, Amy is the one who most obviously needs serious, intensive help.  She needs to forget her career at this point and lock herself away in some hospital far from the madding crowd and focus solely on getting better.  If she does not, we will be posting a story about her death before the year is out and then read comments from people who will be shocked and surprised and who will blame the media for all Amy’s problems.  Amy seems to want to destroy herself, but even people with that mindset can be helped.

Sorry, folks…the media has it’s bad side, but it’s Amy who must ultimately take responsibility for her life.  And if people (including her family) continue to cover up and make excuses for her obvious problems, and continue to squeeze every last drop of money out of her for as long as they can, and continue to stick her up on a stage to be a freak show for everyone to gawp at, and continue to let her do whatever she likes, then they will be just as culpable as Amy herself.  You know who you are.

Husband Of Amy Winehouse Sentenced, Can’t Seem To Keep His Women Straight

What IS it about this guy?  I’m being totally serious…he has more women emoting after him than you can shake a stick at, but all I see is a skinny, balding drug addict.  Yet he has his wife throwing her live performances down the toilet with shoutout to “Mah BLAAAAAAAAKE” and prisioners writing him wanting his bod and models showing up to cry over him.  I don’t get it.

Anyway, Blake Incarcerated-Druggie was sentenced to moar tiems in jail earlier today.  Amy didn’t bother to show up to see it, but one of his other women did:

Blonde German model Sophie Schandorff, 21, was obviously distraught after the hearing, which saw Fielder-Civil sentenced to 27 months in prison today for grievous bodily harm and perverting the course of justice.

Schandorff  caused a stir at court in April when she was in Winehouse’s usual place to support Fielder-Civil and the couple were seen to mouth ‘I love you’ to each other.

He had admitted beating up pub manager James King in a barroom fight in 2006 and then offering him £200,000 to keep quiet about it.

Judge David Radford told Fielder-Civil he had behaved in a ‘gratuitous, cowardly and disgraceful’ way.

Fielder-Civil has already served around nine months on remand and he could be free in four-and-a-half months if he behaves himself in prison.

His lawyer offered up one of the most unintentionally hilarious pleas to a judge that I’ve ever seen, in an effort to get his client out of prison:

Through his barrister, Fielder-Civil told of his love for his wife and determination that both will devote themselves to becoming clean.

Jeremy Dein QC, told Snaresbrook crown court: ‘They are very much committed to each other and their ambition is to divorce themselves from hard drugs and not separate themselves from each other.

‘Knowing the nation’s glare is upon him, Mr Fielder-Civil has every possible motive to rehabilitate himself in the way he has already shown he is fully committed to doing.

‘He knows if he fails, an appointment with calamity awaits, not just for himself but for his wife. 

‘He can now see that hard drugs are to be regarded as nothing other than a smiling assassin.

‘He wishes now to become a role model for Miss Winehouse but he knows it would be impossible for her to alienate herself from drugs if he continues to befriend them.’

Yes, it’s always nice to see healthy young men doing their best to stay away from drugs while they are in jail, and not get caught on camera smoking them up.  I’m sure when he was smoking up drugs in his cell, he was thinking in his head how totally committed he was to getting clean.

Don’t get me wrong…drug addiction is a hard thing to kick and you must deal with it the rest of your life.  I’d like to see Blaaaaaaaaake really try to stay off drugs, and I’d definitely like to see Amy in a rehab center (preferably on lockdown so she can get the intense help she needs).  If he’s trying and slipping, then okay…admit that.  But don’t try to sound like you’re some paragon of virtue when you’re just trying to get from day to day like everyone else.  But, I guess trying to make Blake look good is what Amy’s money is for.

And here’s a thought…don’t have one of your mistresses in court the same day that you have your legal team try to tell the judge how committed you are to the sanctity of marriage and how much you love your wife.  I say one, because the other one that he’s been writing to can’t come support him in court, since she’s in a cell herself.

In short…see all these people?  Don’t act like any of them.
