Amy Winehouse Released From Hospital | Treated For ‘A Reaction To Medication’

I reported last night how Amy Winehouse had been rushed to hospital in a blanket after falling ill again. At the time, I guessed it was either going to be due to the crack habit, or something to do with her recently being diagnosed as suffering from emphysema. But apparently, I was wrong.

Amy Winehouse has been rushed to hospital again, and I’m getting a distinct feeling of deja vu. The only question we need to ask this time around: Is it the crack or the emphysema?

Amy Winehouse’s Husband Blake Fielder-Civil Sent To Prison For 27 Months

Amy Winehouse is always talking about her husband Blake Fielder-Civil. Whether it’s during a live show and she dedicates a song to him, or whether it’s in an interview, and she tells the reported he’ll be out soon, the two go hand in hand. But they won’t be hand in hand for the next 18 […]
