Amy Winehouse made another visit to the hospital yesterday, when she was rushed from her home in London to the emergency room via ambulance. The singer reportedly had a bad reaction to some medication she was taking.
"She had a bit of a scare yesterday because of a reaction to treatment," said her spokesman. "She was kept in overnight purely for observation."
No other details were given on the type of "medication" she was taking, or what she may or may not have mixed with it, but the bee-hived crooner is doing better and was released from the hospital this morning.
"Amy is at home now after leaving with her father and manager. She is having a rest."
Amy was also hospitalized in June after she collapsed at home. Her dad then said that she was suffering from the early stages of emphysema from all her cigarette and crack smoking. Apparently not one to take many things too seriously, Amy was photographed sucking on the cancer sticks immediately after her release.
The clock is ticking on this one -- she needs major help.
All of a sudden it seems like everyone in Hollywood is suing someone. Here's a quick cheat sheet on who looking for justice from who and why:
- Brad Pitt is threatening to take legal action against any media outlet that publishes photos taken "surreptitiously" of the Brangelina brood, including the wonder twins Knox and Vivienne, on the grounds of their French estate. Apparently, an unidentified photo agency snapped some shots with a telephoto lens and is trying to sell them to the tabs. Brad's not havin' it.
- Slutty Sienna Miller is suing two British newspapers and a photo agency for publishing shots of her topless and making out with married actor Balthazar Getty. The homewrecker is accusing News of the World, The Sun and Big Pictures and News International of invading her privacy. Some people have a lot of nerve...
- 50 Cent is legally mad at Taco Bell for insinuating in ad campaigns that he is endorsing the fast food chain. The often-shot rapper filed a suit Wednesday, claiming that the Mexican pizza marvels are "diluting the value of his good name." Really, I swear.
David Beckham is at it again -- just hanging out in his underwear for Emporio Armani.
This new ad for the autumn/winter 2009 collection some will causing major whiplash all over the world, as it's set to appear on a giant mural in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, London, Milan, Rome, Paris and Tokyo.
Yes, he's ridiculously sexy, but would he be slightly sexier if he had a pair of jeans on? I happen to think so.
Sorry, Pete, but it's about freakin' time!
British rocker and habitual drug user/law-breaker Pete Doherty has been sentenced to 14 weeks in jail for violating his probations, his record label said. Pete's manager chimed in, telling Reuters that there were "numerous reasons" why the Babyshambles singer is being sent behind bars. "One of them was his late-coming at probation hearings."
At a court hearing in October, Kate Moss' ex admitted to a string of drug and driving offenses, and pleaded guilty to driving illegally while in possession of crack cocaine, heroin, and marijuana. After that he supposedly went to rehab, in lieu of jail, but was then allegedly caught on tape with heroin. He called the relapse a "stupid, stupid action for which I feel only shame."
I really think jail is the only way for this guy to get off the drugs but, even though he was sentenced to 14 weeks, sources say he will probably only serve a month or so. It's too bad -- they should send him to back to rehab for the other 10 weeks -- at least.
"Obviously, working out is important. Well, I don't. I have joined a gym, but I can't bring myself to start. What do you wear on the running machine? I can't bring myself to wear flat shoes."
--- Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham, on her need for high-heeled sneakers
What a coincidence! That's my reason for not going on the treadmill, too!
Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham is getting naked for a cause. Imagine?
Posh is working with her pal Marc Jacobs to support the NYU Skin Cancer Foundation, which has become much more important to her since moving to sunny Los Angeles.
"Since we moved to California I have realized how important it is to practice safe sun for myself and to keep my three boys’ skin well protected as well," Vicki said. “Skin cancer is a huge problem and I really wanted to help raise awareness by taking part in Marc’s initiative.”
Get your collector's item now! The shirts, autographed by Posh, will be on sale in Marc’s shops next week.
UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and hottie David Beckham visited Sierra Leone to call international attention to the issue of child survival.
"We can't turn a blind eye to the tens of thousands of young children who die every day in the developing world, mostly from causes that are preventable," he said. David visited a bunch of towns (and cute kiddies!) before heading to the capital, Freetown, where he joined in a road side soccer match.
What a love!

Holy crack!
This is really crazy. The Sun has crazy, clear photos and video footage of Amy Winehouse allegedly taking hits off of a crack pipe, while stumbling around at a party over the weekend. The troubled singer was secretly videotaped at her own house, and in addition to smoking the crack, she was seen snorting powdery white substances, said to be ecstasy and cocaine. You can also hear her admit to popping "about six valium to bring myself down" after "friends" ask her to go out with them.
This is serious, serious stuff. Someone needs to help this girl soon, or she is going down for the count.
UPDATE: Amy's record label, Universal Republic, released the following statement to Usmagazine.com: "We are deeply disappointed and upset by these latest revelations and are doing everything we can to offer Amy our full support in dealing with her problems."
Sad news from across the pond this morning, as the The Sun is reporting that singer Lily Allen has suffered a miscarriage.
"We can confirm that Lily Allen has suffered a miscarriage," her rep said in a statement to the paper. "She and her partner Ed Simons will be making no further comment and we ask that their privacy be respected during this difficult time."
Lily's rep had confirmed in December that the singer and her Chemical Brothers boyfriend were expecting their first child.
We send our thoughts and prayers to them both.
Lucky Victoria Beckham is the chosen model for Marc Jacobs' upcoming Spring/Summer 2008 campaign ads and my question is, "Whose concept was this?"
On another note, Posh has been hanging out with Tom Cruise way too much since moving to the states, because Mrs. B is looking more like an alien than ever. She should really not eat or drink anything when she's over at their house, hanging with Katie Holmes. I'm pretty sure there's something weird in the water.
All that stress from being married to Heather Mills may have taken its toll on Paul McCartney -- that, or one too many plates of fish and chips.
Various reports out of London are saying that the Beatle underwent an angioplasty in September, to take care of some blocked arteries. Macca's rep refused to comment on the buzz, but an insider told Britain's Sun that, "Paul had been complaining about not feeling well and saw a Harley Street specialist at the London clinic."
Fear not, Paul-lovers. The music icon seems to have recovered well from any work done on his ticker, as he was in pretty good shape when he appeared with Kylie Minogue on a New Year's Eve show.
Rock on, Paulie!
According to Britain's newspaper The Sun, Amy is no longer allowed normal visits with her jailed hubby, Blake Civil-Fielder, after he tested positive for drugs in London's Pentonville prison. If Amy chooses to see her hubby, who is believed to have had heroin in his system, the messed up couple will be separated by bullet-proof glass and will not be allowed to have any physical contact. Blake is currently awaiting trial over assault and trial-fixing allegations.
Do you guys think Amy, who's having a tough time of her own trying to get sober, slipped him some goodies during a visit? I can totally see how they could pull it off with all that hair. Where else could she hide it, though? She's way too skinny to camouflage it anywhere else on her body. Maybe in her red bra? Who knows -- I shudder to think about the other possibilities.
David Beckham for Emporio Armani. Happy holidays to all!
Get this: According to the London Mirror, David gifted each one of the Spice Girls (not just Posh) with a diamond-encrusted bracelets valued at $100,000 a piece, before their debut concert on Sunday night!
UH-HUH!
"He knows I'm really nervous about him seeing me back on stage, so he bought us all these bracelets for good luck. It's like the old days. David spent a lot of time around the girls when we first got together -- it's as though he married all of us. He's the original Spice Boy," his official wife, Victoria Beckham, told the paper.
David said he just couldn't bear to miss their big night -- even with an injury. "I've got a broken rib at the moment, but I've had them before and nothing would have stopped me coming. There's no way I wouldn't have been here. I haven't even seen a rehearsal before tonight and it's so exciting."
And the soccer star plans on hanging around a bit. "I'm on the road with them for three months and can't wait. When you see them together it's quite frightening -- as though they've never been apart. It's amazing that me and our boys can be a part of that this time around."
Seriously -- it hurts my feelings. Swoon.
I'm not sure if this is good news or bad news.
I guess if you had tickets to see Amy Winehouse and, by some chance, were going to get a coherent performance out of the constantly out-of-it singer, then it's disappointing that she has canceled all her remaining 2007 tour dates. But it's more likely that you would have caught Amy perform in some sort of crazy haze, where she walks off the stage mid-concert -- so take the refund and be happy.
"I can't give it my all onstage without my Blake," the "Rehab" singer wrote on her Web site, of her recently jailed hubby. "I'm so sorry but I don't want to do the shows half-heartedly; I love singing. My husband is everything to me and without him it's just not the same."
Amy's record label would like you to believe that her doctor ordered the end of the tour. "The rigours involved in touring and the intense emotional strain that Amy has been under in recent weeks have taken their toll," they said in a statement. "In the interests of her health and well-being, Amy has been ordered to take complete rest and deal with her health issues."
Amy's husband, Blake Civil-Fielder was arrested earlier this month for allegedly trying to manipulate a witness in his upcoming assault trial and was denied bail. Amy needs to concentrate on visiting him in the slammer and hiding a nail file or two in the gigantic jungle she calls her hair.
News of the World has photos of the musician and Rosanna Arquette spending some quality time together in West London. The pair are seen strolling through the grounds of the Kenwood House and a witness for the paper says Paul and Ro were getting there cuddle on.
"Paul looked very flirty. They had a couple of cuddles and a kiss. The sparks were there for everyone to see," said the spy.
That old dog! He just never gets tired of the women. Once a Beatle, always a Beatle, I guess.
Anyway, London papers are reporting that there might still be hope for other Harry admirers, as people are buzzing that he and Chelsy are kaput. Nobody at the palace is talking, but word is that she has gotten tired of Harry's "playboy lifestyle," -- like attending the rugby world cup final in Paris in October instead of celebrating her birthday with her.
Those princes can be such devils sometimes -- but they're cute!
Like you couldn't see this one coming.
Singer Amy Winehouse was arrested in a hotel in Norway on Thursday, where she was taken in by police and charged with drug possession. Her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil was also charged. After being questioned by police all night, Amy was released. She was fined $500 for marijuana possession and still plans on performing at her scheduled concert tonight.
No word if Amy -- who is supposed to be recovering from drug and alcohol abuse -- and Blake were all bloody and beaten up, as usual, when they were caught by police.
Here's Amy Winehouse -- with hubby Blake Fielder-Civil -- today in London and looking as healthy as ever. He he.
According to a new poll in Radar magazine, you are not alone. And you've also had enough of cupcakes, Botox, and Brad Pitt! But Posh and Becks have come in at the top of the list of things that are totally overrated. Writer Michael Musto calls L.A. Galaxy hottie David "overpaid" and his fashionista wife "a pointless collection of body parts." Ouch!
Other things that made list?
Blogging (gasp!), sex with virgins, cocaine, Keira Knightley (they must have read my mind), pilates, Ronald Reagan, The Dalai Lama, Jake Gyllenhaal (Reese Witherspoon obviously wasn't voting) and Grey's Anatomy (they must all be watching Gossip Girl).
Who's had enough of cupcakes? That's just madness.
Watch it: We ask people on the street what they think about the Beckhams
Meow!
Victoria Beckham has become quite the hot commodity since moving to the U.S.! The Spice Girl has been asked to join the Pussycat Dolls for a few guest appearances. Posh will join a long line of sexy women who have done a stint for the 'Don't Cha" girls. Carmen Electra, Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson have all taken a swing around the pole in the burlesque-style revue.
A source close to The Dolls says the girls are psyched to have Vicki on their team. "They've been blown away by Victoria since she arrived in LA. They love her style and think she has the perfect figure for the group. They are all huge Spice Girl fans and can't wait to have her on stage with them."
I hope Posh can eek out a smile while dancing -- she usually looks like the most sour kitten in all the land.
This is what happens when hype get out of hand. The world was losing its mind that super soccer star David Beckham was coming to play for the L.A. Galaxy. Now sources are saying that, after his latest injury, David could be done for the season.
"He won't recover until the end of the season. It's an unfortunate situation for sure," West Coast source blabbed to the Daily News. Posh's hubby injured his right knee last week, following ongoing problems with his left ankle. "They haven't decided how to proceed," said another source. "There is so much at stake here. However, he is doing well and in great spirits. He can't wait to heal and be back in top form. This injury is a misery to him."
David, who reportedly got $250 million to come over to the U.S., isn't exactly giving the team their money's worth. David's rep, however, is worth his weight in gold. "It's too early to determine exactly when he'll be back, but at the moment he is undergoing daily treatment for his injury, and is progressing well," David's front-man said in a statement.
He could always coach his kid's teams -- but I'm thinking the salary might be just a tad less.
While her hubby David Beckham is nursing his bum knee, Victoria Beckham will bring home the bacon with a guest spot on super hit, Ugly Betty. After weeks of speculation, ABC confirmed the fashionista will play herself on the adorable show. Rumors has it that Victoria will be a bridesmaid at the wedding of Wilhelmina Slater (Vanessa Williams) and Bradford Meade (Alan Dale).
Access Hollywood caught up with Betty herself, America Ferrera, for her thoughts on having the Posh one on her show. “She definitely belongs in the MODE world. She’d definitely be somebody that Wilhelmina is good buddies with."
If they need any help deciding on Vicki's wardrobe for the episode, I have a one word for them: poncho.
"It's just gone from one thing to another thing," he said after the game. "Maybe it's time for me to just say, 'I need the rest,' and get it right and don't come back until it's right. I'm devastated to have been taken out of the game, because I was looking forward to this game. I've been given the rest to try and get my ankle feeling better, and it felt better."
Unfortunately, David could be benched for at least month. "At this stage, it's hard to tell, but it doesn't feel good," he told reporters. "With a ligament strain, it's four to six weeks. We'll have to wait and see," he said Wednesday. "I'm going to have a scan tomorrow, and we'll see the full extent of what it is and how long I'll be out, but at the moment, it doesn't feel great."
Well, at least he has his looks.
Sometimes there are celebrities whose antics are so exhausting that I just can't deal. I don't want to talk about them, and I definitely don't want to write about them.
So if you want to read about Kate Moss and Pete Crackhead Doherty's latest reunion, their talk of a wedding and more kids or how his cat is a cokehead, go for it. I'm just sparing myself the agonizing details.
