Breaking news: Amy Winehouse is not, at the time of going to press, on the brink of death. As recently as yesterday, she was frolicking on a beach in the sun like an actual human.
Valium is not just for depressed housewives with bad hair and pearl necklaces.
In fact, the drug which helped tranquilised an entire nation of bored women during the 60s and 70s is making a comeback - as a cheap alternative to heroin.
According to DrugScope, there has been an increase in people using the pill known as ‘Mother’s Little Helper’ in 15 of the 20 UK towns surveyed.
Amy Winehouse used to be a healthy, fit woman, whose only ghastly features were the tattoos that made her look like some sort of burly transvestite sailor.
However, heavy drinking and smoking have alarmingly taken their toll over the last year, making her thinner, sicker and a bit more violent.
Oh, and there’s the drugs. You can’t forget about the drugs. Anyway, all of this combined might be about to kill her, her dad Mitch says. Who’d have guessed?
You have to hand it to Amy Winehouse - she certainly isn’t a quitter.
There was us worrying about whether we would ever be able to complete our Amy Winehouse Disease Bingo card and the she manages to pull ’skin cancer’ out the bag.
OK, we are not crossing it off yet, but by the sounds of it, it will only be a matter of time until she’s be able to shout “house, splutter, splutter” at the top of the gunk-filled, peanut-sized husks she once called her lungs.
Amy Winehouse really does have a death wish.
Not satisfied with hovering up enough drugs to keep the Colombian black economy in business, the Back in Black singer today defied doctors’ advice by lighting up a cigarette - just a few hours after been told she could have the early signs of emphysema.
Ah, what do doctor know anyway? The troubled star was told by worried staff at a London hospital that she had to cut the crack and fags immediately or her health would decline even further.
Our favourite celebrity dad, no-nonsense cabby Mitch Winehouse, has revealed that his girl has emphysema and could be dead in three months.
If she doesn’t put down the crackpipe, she could find herself in a wheelchair within a month.
Robert Downey Jr. has had some real lows in his life.
After all, the 43-year-old Iron Man star has struggled for years with drug and alcohol addiction.
Not to mention he was in Bowfinger and Ally McBeal. Talk about plumbing the depths.
But, apparently, these pale into insignificance compared to a trip to a Burger King drive-thru a few years back, when he had a cheeseburger which was so disgusting it made him give up the drugs and re-assess his entire life.
Breaking news: Amy Winehouse is not, at the time of going to press, on the brink of death. As recently as yesterday, she was frolicking on a beach in the sun like an actual human.
The troubled singer-songwriter (where “troubled” is an euphemism for ‘we expect her to be found dead in a ditch any second’) spent Sunday on a beach in St. Lucia. We thought she was in rehab in London, but OK.
So far, her latest stint in treatment doesn’t seem to have done Wino any harm; splashing around in a pair of bikini bottoms, she’s distinctly less skeletal and has clearly undergone the process that the Daily Mail refers to as “packing on the pounds” and we at DietPixie call “starting to consume something other than crack”.
Amy has also reportedly started working out for two hours a day - and it seems ‘working out’ is not just code for ‘rolling around on the floor, clawing at the walls and screaming for drugs/booze/Blake’. She has apparently hired a personal trainer and “bounds in to work out on the bikes, weights and Power Plate”.
On the one hand, I’m pleased to see Amy looking a bit more human and actually smiling for a change. On the other hand, things have got pretty bad if Amy freaking Winehouse spends more time in the gym than I do. Who am I supposed to use now as my ‘it could be worse’ person? “It could be worse, you could be Amy Winehouse.” It’s not going to work if she’s running around on Caribbean beaches, now is it?
Still, there’s always Britney.
