Amy Winehouse 'Blacks Out After Drinking Sessions'

09 July 2011 14:22

Troubled Amy Winehouse has sparked fresh fears for her health after suffering several booze-induced blackouts, according to a U.K. report.

The Rehab star, who has long battled addiction issues, faced fury from her fans in Belgrade, Serbia at the start of her comeback tour last month (Jun11), when she slurred her words and struggled through a shambolic set. The appalling performance prompted Winehouse to cancel her entire European tour.

However, the incident has allegedly failed to put a stop to the singer's hard-partying ways and friends fear she has lost control of her heavy drinking again after recently passing out during a series of vodka binges, according to Britain's The Sun.

A source tells the newspaper, "Her drinking is totally out of control. Amy is constantly out of control on vodka. She is rattling about at home in North London drinking herself into oblivion. Three times this week she has been so drunk she passed out."

Yeah, sure... "a source said"; a sad source, perhaps.LOL

Amy Winehouse's Goddaughter Defends Singer

08 July 2011 18:57

Amy Winehouse's goddaughter has spoken out in defence of the troubled singer, insisting the media is to blame for her bad reputation.

Winehouse cancelled her entire European tour following a shambolic set in Serbia last month (Jun11), during which she appeared to be intoxicated onstage.

However, aspiring singer Dionne Bromfield, 15, has now taken aim against reporters and the paparazzi for constantly trying to portray the Rehab hitmaker in a poor light, revealing most people don't know the real Amy.

Bromfield tells Company magazine, "I wouldn't even say five per cent of the stuff written about her is true. Even if she does do something good on stage, (the media) still make her sound awful.

"All it takes is for her to blink while the press are flashing cameras, and it looks like she's drunk... That's not the Amy I know - the real Amy."

Now Dionne is a source that I trust a lot more than those of the anonymous kind, who, if they exist, though I think they're most often an invention of press rats, feed the bloodsucking gutter press morsels of celebrity.

Why are Amy's 'pals' (a worried source) running to the tabloids all the time selling these stories? These are 'friends'?

I'd think 'friends' would attempt to HELP her, not PROFIT from her illness. Why does the public need to know this?

What is the point of publishing such an article?

Unconscionable!

[ohmr]

Dionne is a 15 year old girl who's in the spot light and will be asked about Amy. I'd rather her speak her mind in the positive manner than even Amy's own father say something. For a while and probably still, Mitch was giving the media play by play commentary on Amy's life. I don't know why if felt that was healthy for her recovery but he was doing the most. You'd think even Blake would've sound tons and tons of stories by now. The last thing I remember him saying was that he personally felt responsible for messing up Amy Winehouse. He's pretty much lead his own life since then, clearly.

I'm glad somebody is sticking up for her and not just looking for camera time or sympathy (yes, you Zalon.)

[Rockesquirrel]

Amen, Lynda! I don't fault Zalon for doing what he's gotta do, I'm troubled about folk going to the press to 'defend' Winehouse. Whilst their loyalty is appreciated, I think one-on-one support without press involvement is best. But, what do I know?????

If her 'friends' or 'pals' were really troubled & concerned, wouldn't the logical course of action be to seek advice via Al-Anon or similar support outlet on how to help a friend or loved one with alcohol abuse issues?

Lord have Mercy. More money, more problems. When an addict has deep pockets, they have lots of supporters.

Who knows what to believe any more?

Also, in today's Mail On Sunday there was a small article saying Amy has given up on music and is returning to St Lucia for good. As I've said before, I'd rather she is happy and healthy before anything else.

[pearljo]

sounds like all bs to me. even if she went to st lucia, she can get just as drunk there as she can in london. the geographical cure doesn't work.
happy and healthy would be good.
