Amy In Rehab: No Wine In This House

c>log
The British tabloid The Sun posted a video of a scrawny, wobbly woman, who appears to be Amy Winehouse, apparently smoking crack cocaine and speaking of having taken Ecstasy and Valium. The
Daily Telegraph subsequently reported that Winehouse's father had moved in with her, terrified her continued drug use would kill her. Island Records, her record label, announced their plans to abandon its American promotional campaign for her.

On January 22, her spokesperson announced that the singer visited Edward House — an outpatient department of the Capio Nightingale Hospital Rehabilitation Center. Finally, on January 24, Winehouse entered rehab (essentially cancelling her appearance at the NRJ Awards in France) in order to get better and to enable her appearance at the upcoming Grammy Awards.

Since her rise to fame, Winehouse has been the subject of much media attention. In various interviews, Winehouse has denied having bipolar disorder but has admitted to having problems with self-harm, depression and eating disorders (attributing the latter to insecurities about her appearance). The singer ranked number two on Richard Blackwell's 48th annual "Ten Worst Dressed Women" list, right behind Victoria Beckham. Hopefully, part of the rehab effort will include intensive make-up and wardrobe therapy.

UPDATE: "Rehab" Live From Rehab

      
The irony of it all — a singer with huge problems pens a song called "Rehab" which turns out to be spot-on and a very autobiographical work since she has actually ended up in "Rehab". Singer, in the throes of addiction, is honored for her work, but can't show up because her whacky behavior and reckless drug use has confined her to a medical setting. Singer sings song called "Rehab" live from "Rehab" and coyly seems to bask in the irony of it all. Amazing but true!
