Amy Winehouse is pretty screwed up. No, really.
I make fun of Amy Winehouse a lot on this blog, and some of you have expressed to me that you feel it's unfair, or unwarranted, or just overdone. I've been thinking a lot about that lately, and have come to the conclusion that I don't actually care what you think, so put that in your crack pipe and smoke it.
Amy's former lover, Alex Haines, recently gave an interview to News of the World that of course is making its way across the gossip sites, and for good reason. It validates everything you've always thought about Amy, plus puts that special crack-flavored icing on the cake. Paraphrasing would take the fun away, so, from the News itself:
Alex Haines tells how the singer smoked CRACK for BREAKFAST from pipes she made out of drinks bottles as she blew £3,500 a week on drugs in her darkest hours.She was so desperate for every last bit she even frantically scraped the residue out with a SCREWDRIVER so it wouldn't be wasted.
He also reveals how the once painfully thin diva was a secret BULIMIC--living on McDonalds and up to 10 Crunchie bars at a time. She even used HIS TOOTHBRUSH to make herself THROW UP afterwards.
And Alex, her former personal assistant, details their marathon romps while hubby Blake Fielder Civil was inside.
He says: "It was like having my own little porn star. Amy was so dirty--she wanted sex all the time. We did it four or five times a day and she'd even wake me up for it. She was addicted to sex like she was to drugs."
Look, I'm not a monster. I want Amy to get help. I do. But until that happens, I'm going to post every picture and/or gossip item I find of the girl acting a fool. If we can't laugh at the crackheads, how are we going to feel better about our own lives?

Wow, Heather, you're a gossip blogger and I get that, I really do. However, the last line seems to be saying something about your, as a person, that I hope isn't true.
Most people who, truly, feel good about their own lives don't need to laugh at those in horrible situations in order to feel that way.

C1, you've been reading this blog for a while now, so I'm going to let you try to work out the answer to that yourself.

wow... she needs help... badly.

To be honest, I'm not so sure what the answer will be. When you're attacked by the haters and come out blazing I find it funny, because I know it's a knee jerk reaction to people not getting the whole celebrity gossip blogger thing. I 'get' the WTF were they thinking aspect of it all. Even with Winehouse it is hard to wrap one's mind around the idea of having the world lay out in front of you and choosing to stumble off into the drug gutter.
I even get the "I will continue posting Winehouse posts because it's celebrity news, so you can all just bite me".
I suppose it is possible that you were aiming for some major TIC at the end,there. However, if that is the case, it was lost ( to me) and comes across as a sincere emotion. Perhaps part of that is due to the generalized 'crackheads' instead of this specific crackhead.
Either way it's not a hater attack, on my part ( I am quite guilty of surfing gossip blogs on my days off)). I find such thought processes very frightening, if they are sincere.

C1, it was a sincere sentiment that segued into a joke. Most of what I write is tinged with irony, if that helps.

That helps alot, thank you. Usually, I pick up the irony which is why this one threw me.

"H",
She resembles Cher actually... Well, a non-cracked out Cher!

That was a funny article and I do not even know very much about the crackhead you wrote about. I did get a serious chuckle when you told your readers that you didn't care what they thought and to put it in their crackpipe and smoke it. Great segway (sp?) into the story.
