Amy Winehouse’s Miraculous Progress

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drugs

Amy Winehouse has made a “miraculous” recovery from her addictions.

The singer’s father is delighted with his daughter’s progress as she battles her drug and alcohol problems and believes she should be given more credit for her hard work. “She’s doing fantastic and I don’t think enough credit is given to her about what she’s achieved over the last year. It’s been nothing short of miraculous,” he told Heat magazine.

The “Back to Black” singer - who spent several months earlier this year living on the Caribbean Island of St. Lucia -  has just spent $59,000 on a breast enlargement operation, which Mitch claims was a way of her getting some control of her life. “I think she looks great, every bit of her - including the boobs,” Mitch said.

Mitch also likened his daughter - who recently divorced but is rumored to have rekindled her romance with him - to Kerry Katona and Katie Price. “They all have a knack of choosing the wrong men,” he stated.

Kelly Osbourne Blames DNA

Kelly Osbourne blames DNA for her addictionKelly Osbourne has blamed DNA for her addiction.

The Dancing With the Stars contestant—whose father, rocker Ozzy Osbourne, has had a long-running battle with drugs and alcohol—believes that her dependence on prescription drugs is something hardwired into her genes.

Kelly, who is now drug free, told Britain’s BBC Radio 5 Live, “I don’t have any shadow of a doubt that addiction is a disease. It is in your genes. The only people in my family who don’t have that gene are my mother and my sister Amy. I consider myself lucky that I saw both sides of it. Drugs stop you from screaming on the outside, but you are still screaming on the inside. I was addicted by 16. Drugs stopped me from feeling a certain way. Some people experience euphoria, but I never felt that. They numbed me and gave me confidence. It was like a magic medicine.”

Kelly—who has been in rehab four times, most recently in January—admits that she became a recluse during her lowest points of addiction.

Amy Winehouse Sneaks Ex-Husband Through Window

Amy Winehouse and ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil

Looks like Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil are taking some cues from Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee.

The “Love Is A Losing Game” singer saw her ex-husband, whom she was officially divorced from last week, for the first time in 14 months for a secret date last Friday.

“Amy had been secretly planning this meeting, but told everyone she didn’t want to see Blake. The date went well. They had dinner and drinks and then—without anyone else knowing—she invited him back to her place early Saturday morning,” said a source.

In order for Amy, 25, to sneak Blake—banned by her family from seeing her—into her home, she had to send him through a window, so security wouldn’t raise the alarm (high school love story, anyone?).

Drugs Cost Amy Winehouse Bond Job

Amy Winehouse

was too high on drugs to record a proposed James Bond theme song.

The “Rehab” singer - who teamed up with producer Mark Ronson for the title track in 2008 - allegedly ruined the collaboration by partying too hard at the recording studio. Amy’s estranged husband Blake Fielder-Civil told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “It just turned into an excuse for a wild drink and drugs party. She wasn’t concentrating on work.”

Amy Winehouse Steps Out Looking…Normal

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Photos

Amy Winehouse

Someone please sign me up for a St. Lucia makeover stat.

Last November, Amy Winehouse was walking around looking bloated and bruised. Now the “Rehab” singer appears surprisingly healthy. After an 8-month escape to the Caribbean island, Winehouse returned to her UK stomping grounds down a beehive and up a body-covering outfit. (Her eyeliner won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.)

Could this be permanent change, or will Amy eventually fall off the wagon a la Mischa Barton? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

What’s Wrong With Young Hollywood?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Child Stars, Editorials

Miley Cyrus is showing off too much skin in pictures and making viral YouTube videos. Disney darling Vanessa Hudgens weathered scandal for sending pics to another young star. Lindsay Lohan fell so far from grace so fast we still can’t find her career, and let’s not even start talking about the deterioration of Britney Spears.

What’s wrong with young Hollywood?

Many of them appear on the scene as cute kids, all smiles and freckles and age-appropriate movie roles. But as the years pass and adolescence sets in, they’re suddenly seen in clubs, car crashes and mug shots - even before they can legally vote in some cases. When kids who aren’t famous get into trouble, it’s easy to say it’s the fault of the parents or that society puts too much pressure on them - maybe it’s some flaw in the educational system. When kids who are in the spotlight get into trouble, it’s media fodder.

And it’s almost guaranteed to make the spotlight shine on them just a little bit brighter.

Winehouse Still Smoking Despite Hospitalization

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Drugs

Amy WinehouseAlthough Amy Winehouse’s father, Mitch, mistakenly claimed his daughter had emphysema, the singer is not exactly out of the woods.

In an attempt to clear up the erroneous report, reps clarified the 24-year-old’s health status. While Amy hasn’t yet been diagnosed with the irreversible lung disease, she does have “scarring of the lungs which could lead to emphysema.” According to spin doctor Chris Goodman, “If she keeps doing the wrong things, then it could lead to it. If she does the right things, it won’t.”

Unfortunately, no amount of scarring could overcome Amy’s strong penchant for inhaling. During a brief release from the hospital yesterday (she’s been there since fainting last Monday), Winehouse was snapped by the paparazzi…with a cigarette in her mouth. Maybe she was just saying one last goodbye to the cigs? Maybe?

Amy Winehouse Diagnosed with Emphysema

Amy Winehouse Smoking

UPDATE: Despite what Amy’s father told the media, the singer’s rep denies Winehouse has emphysema. She supposedly has a “scarring of the lungs which could lead to emphysema.”

After years of unhealthy living, it’s been determined that singer has the early stages of emphysema. This diagnosis was made after the 24-year-old collapsed at her home last Monday. A week of tests had ruled out other possibilities - such as tuberculosis - for her chest problems.

According to the Mayo Clinic, emphysema is “is a progressive lung disease that results in shortness of breath and reduces your capacity for physical activity.” Unfortunately, Winehouse could have been suffering for some time and didn’t experience any symptoms “until irreversible damage” had already occurred.

Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse: The Ugly Kiss

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Photos, Paparazzi Photos, Rumors

Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse

I’m not sure if this should be considered the grossest thing in some time - or simply the most fitting.

Earlier this week, troubled musicians Pete Doherty and spent some quality time together.  After a concert performance, the Babyshambles member continued his freedom celebration (he had just served 29 days in jail for a probation violation) at Winehouse’s London home.  When the party ended, the guest made sure to kiss his hostess goodbye.

While this was not a sight most people should see, it really does make sense.  I’m sure these two have far more in common than Pete and Kate Moss ever did.  It’s not like the model could ever live without good skin…or showers.
