amy winehouse - C or D? [RIP 7/23/11]

In the O RLY? category:

Amy Winehouse was hospitalized in London Wednesday for 'severe exhaustion,' a Universal Music spokeswoman said.

Oh, for fuck's sake.

There's a certain group of celebs who can't get away with suffering from "exhaustion". Amy Winehouse is one of them.

They tried to make her go to rehab but you know what happened.

Winehouse in drugs collapse: (it's The Sun, but still)

Her hubby sounds like a nice fella

She looks like that midget who used to dance in Marilyn Manson and Soul Assasins videos back in the late 90s in that photo. Only taller.

so like Pete Doherty is obsolete now right

in th' old days they used and a big story when *we all know* what it means anyway. why's that?

We're smarter now because of the internet. That's why Elton John wants it shut down.

'Back to Black' just gets better despite it being inescapable.
I can't think of a time before when someone went from being a niche artist to being a massive star in this country purely because of the damn brilliance of one specific album. I mean i'm sure this must have happened before.

With all that's going on at the moment in tabloid-world i feel sorry for her, and i really hope she wins the Mercury prize just to show the lot of them.

And the fucking remixes of the singles have been brilliant, almost as good overall as Justin's last year.

Yeah, people really need to stop going around saying heroin abuse is a bad thing. Won't somebody please think of the children?

dom, tabloid coverage of winehouse isn't concern for her well-being, it is common or garden humbug prurience

I (deliberately) haven't (knowingly) heard her music, so I'm going to have to judge her tattoos:

Dud.

the tattoos suck. the album is good times.

They look like practice tattoos, don't they?

Has she pledged her body to amateur/trainee inkers the same way other people pledge their bodies to medical science?

I'm so fucking bored of waiting for her to die. But they never die or even seriously overdose, do they? Pete Doherty is still around wearing stupid hats.

Still, if I had to sell tabloids for a living...

...it would be a step-up?

I'm so fucking bored of waiting for her to die

If yr that impatient then I hate to think what, say, Keith Richards still being alive is doing to you

I think a certain proportion of long-term celebrities are just government employees who are paid to make it look as if something is "happening". They don't really take drugs or self-harm or have on/off relationships at all.

Kate Moss is a good example. Patently a civil servant.

It's kind of a "positive paranoia" I have.

If yr that impatient then I hate to think what, say, Keith Richards still being alive is doing to you

Zombies are the undead, eejit.

theyve reissued back to black with a bonus disc - has some cool specials and other covers... i like.

With any luck she could lead to a UK version of those magnificent Cat Power threads our US posters bless us with every now and then.

She truly exceeded our expectations

I say classic.

Maybe its because it's Christmastime and the hell of Christmas shopping is only leavened by hearing The Ronnettes Sleigh Bells in almost every shop. She is probably the only singer since Joey Ramone to really turn the Ronnie Spector influence into something (on a side note, has she ever recorded a Christmas song, and if not then when will she? Surely the definitive version of Merry Christmas (I Don't wanna Fight Tonight) is hers of the taking: retro wink just masking real tears)

interesting article in Mojo, especially since having been granted the Cover status, the article contains nothing other than a run down on the recent shows, as no interview was ever sorted out due to the troubles we all know about, and some quotes from amy back in 2004.
however, i'd say classic which means i should now buy the albums.
