Amy Winehouse has finally reversed her long-held opinion of rehab and checked herself in.
Her record label, Universal Music Group, released the following statement:
“Amy decided to enter the facility today after talks with her record label, management, family and doctors. She has come to understand that she requires specialist treatment to continue her ongoing recovery from drug addiction.”
Her decision comes a few days after a video of her smoking crack surfaced in the British press, which may lead to legal troubles for the pop singer.
Thank god, it sounds like she’s going to need a new hit song.
Oh god, this is so not the solution.
According to a source talking to Star magazine:
“After several weeks of personal soul searching and talks and discussions with her mother Jamie Lynn reluctantly agreed that giving up the baby is the right thing to do. Lynne says Jamie doesn’t understand the life long consequences of having a baby.
“She still wants her daughter to be able to be a teenager, go to parties, hang out with friends and have a career. So she’ll take the front seat of caring for the baby and take the pressure off her daughter.
“Lynne is convinced that having a baby on her hip will not help Jamie Lynn’s future in the business and she’s expecting her daughter to pick up where she left off as soon as the baby is born.”
Let’s assume the last paragraph is truly the point here. If she’s not working and big sister Britney can’t be bothered to promote her album, no one is bringing home any bacon for momma.
And also, it contradicts what Jamie Lynn said when she broke the big news to the tabloids last month:
“I can’t say it was something I was planning to do right now,” the 16-year-old confesses to OK!. “But now that it’s in my lap and that it’s something I have to deal with, I’m looking forward to being the best mom I can be.”
A true shame. This 16-year-old girl seems to be more fit to raise children than her mother has proven to be.
The other day I made a joke about how Britney Spears’ erratic, self-contradictory behavior might not be due to plain old hypocrisy, but rather Multiple Personality Disorder. But was it really a joke? Reportedly, last Saturday night she threw an impromptu party for a few of the paparazzi who are always surrounding her house:
The stunned photographers were asked to leave their cameras outside, but otherwise to enjoy themselves. And enjoy themselves they did! The group, accompanied by Brit’s friend Sam Lutfi, drank, smoked, ate leftovers from the fridge, and laughed for about two hours as Amy Winehouse played in the background.
Then, just as suddenly as it had begun, the party came to a screeching halt. “Britney went into her bedroom and came out in a different pair of jeans and her pink wig… Her eyes went wide and she was yelling, ‘How the f**k did you get in here? Get the f**k out! Sam, get them out! Why are they eating my food? Get them out!’”
Keep in mind that this comes from OK! Magazine, so consider the source. But it sure would explain a lot.
Owen Wilson was spotted shopping for a bong this week, suggesting that maybe his whole “I don’t have a drug problem” deal is a farce.
At the Green House Smoke Shop in in Venice, Calif., onlookers say he spent 20 minutes browsing marijuana pipes before spending nearly $300 on a bong.
Possibly paranoid already, he then hid behind a FedEx truck to avoid paparazzi detection before sprinting to his car.
He reportedly checked into rehab following a three-day drug binge that preceded his suicide attempt in August.
John Travolta has expressed his devastation over “his friend” Heath Ledger’s death, although they never co-starred in a movie together and it’s unclear that they ever even met.
In an interview with Woman’s Day, he talks excessively about his feelings and claims to be Ledger’s idol:
WD: Did you know Heath? How has his death affected you?
JT: I did know Heath and I adored him. I am pretty devastated over this. He was my favourite actor and my favourite talent. It’s like losing James Dean. I would give back all my awards and all my nominations just to have him back — I think he is a real loss as a persona and as a talent. And this whole evening is very hard for me. We are celebrating Australia week in the USA — and it’s killing me. You know that he’s both of us. He’s Australian and from the United States, and he means a whole lot. It’s bad situation.
And then:
WD: How did you meet him?
JT: I wanted to meet him because I was very impressed with him from the very beginning. His agent introduced me to him at a party, and I just fell — I used every accolade. Actors need other actors to be inspired by, and he was “my” actor.
WD: How did he respond?
JT: I forget that anyone younger than me grew up with me. He was beautiful in his reaction. I was an idol of his — my reacting that way to his work really blew him away, but he was very modest and almost bashful about the compliment — and didn’t want to make a big deal about himself. But he was a big deal.
This all sounds pretty vague. My first reaction was that Scientology knows Tom Cruise is overexposed right now, but they needed some other believer to get out there and say they had valiantly tried to help Ledger get off drugs, since after all, they are the authorities.
