Amy went to rehab

[6949]

Amy Winehouse finally checked into rehab.  I wonder if she'll get better or come out trashier like the Hollywood starlets do.
 
 Wino was hospitalized earlier this week after suffering a drug overdose, according to various reports, confirmed by a close family member.
 
 Says Amy�??s father-in-law, �??[My son Blake, Winehouse�??s husband] He told me he was very worried about her. He admitted they both drank and did drugs but that came as no surprise. It was bought on by all her excesses. Yes, work is one of them, but there�??s the drink and drugs too. She�??s got to get a grip on herself before it�??s too late.�?�
 
 Wino is now recuperating at The Priory rehab in Roehampton, South West London.

Don't know about the rest of you, but I'm feeling duped and feel a refund is order for her album.  I was clearly mislead about her and Rehab...

 It's not the singer I hate, so much as the producer.  Still not quite sure why Mark Ronson is so highly touted as a producer.  Had the extreme misfortune of seeing the video for the "version" of a Smiths song from his solo album.  Not only did it feature a fourth rate Andy Bell, the backing track was unbearable to listen to.  My inner Elvis was close to taking action...

Hey, don't knock Nick Ronson. After all, he was the house dj for the TomKat wedding.

I actually like Mr. Ronson's version of "Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before" but it loses a certain amount of its appeal after you see the singer/video.
 
 He seems overrated by the UK audience, but I'm not sure how well-known he is here.

I watch that video of the Smiths cover and just think its very 'british' . . . those earnest good looking folks in good looking places crying animated tears to a queered up Smiths song (the irony) seems to me to tap into the same vibe that results in massive clap-alongs at 'events' at Wembley (like the Diana thing) or folks turning up to Robbie Williams concerts by the 100,000's.
 
 Amy Winehouse and Lindsey Lohan bother me b/c they seem like identity crises gone horribly wrong.  They aren't who they're supposed to be.

What does that mean? "They aren't who they're supposed to be." You think there's some sensitive Regina Spektor-like chanteuse deep within Amy Winehouse that's being kept down by the MAN (in this case, Mr. Jack Daniels)? Lindsay Lohan would be the next Helen Hayes if it weren't for the blow (various definitions)?
 
 I'm sorry. I don't mean to get all Ted Nugent on y'all but I don't feel much sympathy at all for those creative/celebrity types who lose it to drugs/drink/addictions. There are millions of people all over the world who are weak and addicted and they don't have one millionth of the support system and financial resources that someone like Lindsay Lohan does. It's excused that she does a lot of drugs because she has awful parents? Boo-f'ing-hoo. Let's ignore all the hopeless junkies in England but let's champion Pete Doherty because he has such sky-scraping talent? No way. Most of these people (Winehouse, Robert Downey, Jr., Britney Spears, etc.) are just weaker than the rest of us and have worse self-esteem. We shouldn't feel sorry for these people. We shouldn't even pity them. "Ignore" seems to be the correct word.

Most likely the people around them are not supporting them. Well, maybe their behavior and habit.

Maybe six months to a year away.

I completely agree with this.
