Amy Winehouse must be coming to her senses: she's given control of her £15 million fortune to her parents. She can't spend her own money without their approval, so drugs are probably out. [Mirror]

Blake On Amy's Addiction: It's All My Fault

Dodai Stewart — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 09:00:00 EST

In an exclusive interview, Blake Fielder-Civil says: "I dragged Amy into it and without me there is no doubt that she would never have gone down that road. I ruined something beautiful." He admits he got Amy Winehouse hooked on heroin, crack cocaine and self-harm. "The first time Amy took crack she asked me, 'Can I try a bit of that.' When I see pictures of Amy and the state she’s in it tears my heart out. I just want to pick her up and help her. But I can’t — because I’m the man who caused it all. It scares me to death that I can’t fix Amy." He also talks about watching her have seizures and why they both cut themselves. [News Of The World]

Christian Conservative Community Organizer: Voting And Organizing For Obama

And Organizing For Obama" alt="Click here to read Christian Conservative Community Organizer: Voting And Organizing For Obama" src="http://cache.jezebel.com/assets/images/39/2008/10/DS_Community.flv.jpg"/>

Last night, Daily Show correspondent John Oliver sat down with several community organizers. He also talked to one bonkers anti-community organizing yahoo named Matthew Vadum, who said, "community organizers use crack cocaine in exchange for votes." But enough about that, and onto Liz Shaw, an Ohio organizer who identifies as a conservative Christian and often votes Republican. She deals with hunger issues in her community and helps people conserve and grow their own food. Shaw was so irate at Palin and Giuliani's denigrating community organizers that she decided, "I'm not only going to vote for Obama, I'm going to organize for Obama." Also awesome: the look on ACORN chief organizer Bertha Lewis's face when John Oliver asks her where the crack is. Clip above. More »

Loose Lips

Amy Winehouse's fainting spell from a couple of days ago could be linked to her overdose last summer. Drug withdrawals lasting almost a year? Remember kids: Crack is a fucking serious drug! • Ginnifer Goodwin says the claims that co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Connelly are feuding on the set of He's Just Not That Into You are "totally absurd". Oh please, the biggest "feud" these two good gals ever had was probably over who should take the first toke on Aniston's apple bong. • An "employee" for R. Kelly told a key witness in his child-porn trial that she should More »

Amy Winehouse Finally Releases New Song: A Racist, Cracked-Out Ditty

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 13:30:00 EDT

Amy Winehouse is in hot water—sorta—for a home video she made with her husband Blake Incarcerated last year in which she sings some made-up racist lyrics to the tune of "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes," surrounded by crack pipes, mirrors and other paraphernalia (We say "sorta" because do people really get offended by the things that crazy junkies say?) The footage is obviously from the couple's personal camera, but somehow News of the World got a hold of it. Amy issued an apology—sorta—while standing on her front stoop in front of a throng of paparazzi. Racist song above and apology clip after the jump. More »

Bobby Brown Smokes Something, Whitney Houston Bitches

Slut Machine — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 13:00:00 EST

Do you, like us, miss the holy wedded union of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown? Do you miss when they had "Something in Common", by which we mean, mood altering substances? Well, the folks at Street Carnage have posted some wonderful audio clips of Whit and Bob from back in the day. Street Carnage's Gavin McInnes (formerly of Vice) got the clips through a friend who was working in a recording studio — "probably somewhere disgusting like Tampa" — when Bobby randomly joined them. (Whitney was laying down tracks of her own next door.) Bobby began rapping with them, and Whitney got pissed, came over, and this fight was recorded: More »

Paco, a crude, yellow-colored type of crack...

Jessica G. — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 10:45:00 EST

Paco, a crude, yellow-colored type of crack cocaine is ravaging the slums of Ciudad Oculta, Argentina, and one mother is doing her part to stop the vicious cycle. Bilma Acuña, 46, has formed a support group for mothers of Paco addicts, and according to the IHT, Bilma " fields dozens of calls a week from mothers seeking help with their children's addictions. She refers some to government-run psychiatric clinics, and urges others, some of whom are recovering from addiction themselves, to join the group." Her life has been ravaged by drugs: one of Bilma's sons, David, was killed by drug dealers at 16. Two of her other sons, Eche and Leandro, are addicted to Paco. Eche has been drug-free since October (and his fourth stint in rehab) and told the IHT, "Right now I can see all the little kids lining up to buy...Paco is a plague. Somehow we need to protect them from this." [IHT] More »

Amy Winehouse Performs Live, Seems A Little...Odd

Slut Machine — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 11:00:00 EST

The questions on everyone's mind during Amy Winehouse's Grammy performance (via satellite) of "You Know I'm No Good" and "Rehab" last night was whether or not the singer (currently in rehab) was actually sober. She seemed kinda...different. (Actually, she seemed really animated, and maybe we're just not used to seeing her like that, because the Amy we'd grown accustomed to was the Amy who couldn't get through a set without pulling something out of her hair to snort.) Anyway, she won five awards last night, including Record of the Year, which, as you can see in the clip above, she seemed shocked about. We don't know who the hell Ray-Ray is, but we do know that we will never get sick of hearing her publicly refer to her husband Blake as "incarcerated." It just sounds better with her British accent.

Amy Winehouse Has A Problem, But So Do We

dodai — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 13:20:00 EST

Well, as some suspected, Amy Winehouse is on crack. [This just in: Amy is now in rehab.] She's certainly not the first musician or singer to do drugs, and definitely not the last, but there is something different about Amy's rollercoaster trip through abuse and addiction: We're along for every second of the ride. Two Winehouse-related stories hit the papers today: Nick Kent writes for the Times of London: "The general public has developed an insatiable desire for watching its favourite stars debase themselves further and further in the public forum." Kent notes that Billie Holliday, Judy Garland, Keith Richards and Sid Vicious all had their substance abuses documented by the media. These days, not only can one can watch Amy Winehouse unravel on a daily basis, it's possible to join in: The crack-rock smoking clip was supplied to The Sun by a "friend." More »
