[h1]Jan. 21-28: Amy Winehouse Says "Yes, Yes, Yes" To Rehab[/h1]
Posted Thu. Jan 24, 9:28 PM ET by Lyndsey Parker in That's Really Week
Sigh. Another week, another report on Britney and Amy.
Seriously, these weekly blogs are beginning to write themselves. But until that actually happens and we get our Britney/Amy Blog Generator up and running, areal-life human being still has to sift through the ashes of these two ladies' burnt-out careers and make sense of it all. It's a dirty job (and eachweek it only seems to get dirtier), but someone's gotta do it...
So let'sstart with what Amy Winehouse gotup to this week. Things didn't start off too promisingly for Britain's beehived bad girl, when U.K. tabloid The Sun posted a viral videodepicting her allegedly inhaling from a crackpipe. Yikes. Considering that police are planning to investigate the troubling tape; that Amy's reportedlybeen having difficulty securing a U.S. visa so she can perform at the Grammys on February 10; and that this cracked-out footage was supposedly shotshortly before her husband Blake Fielder-Civil's assault hearing...well, suffice to say the timing of this video was not good.Not good at all. Then again, there's never really a good time to be seen hitting the pipe, is there?
"Of course it kills me to see my daughter on the front page of your newspaper like that," Amy's long-suffering dad, MitchWinehouse, told The Sun after this footage surfaced. "It's nothing short of devastating, thinking she wants to destroyherself. She'll be heartbroken about it all."
ClearlyAmy's daddy does not think she is fine at all, despite what her anti-12-stepping anthem "Rehab" may attest. And at long last Mitch's druggydaughter may be beginning to agree with him. First, Amy did one of the few sensible things she's done in many months and--after a brief, disastrous stintas a bleachy blonde--she went back to black (black hair dye, that is). And then things got even brighter in her otherwise black world, when she finallycontradicted the "no, no, no" chorus of "Rehab" and, well, checked into rehab.
"Amy decided to enter the facility today after talks with her record label, management, family, and doctors," her label, Universal Music Group,announced in a statement. "She has come to understand that she requires specialist treatment to continue her ongoing recovery from drugaddiction."
Huzzah! We hereat That's Really Week can only rejoice at Amy's long-overdue decision to say "yes, yes, yes" to professional help, and we hope thather road to recovery leads straight to February 10th's Grammy Awards, where she is nominated in six categories. Now that it's been confirmed that theGrammys will not be affected by the writers' strike and will continue as planned, it would be wonderful to see a cleaned-up Amy clean up at the awardsshow.
