"THEY TOLD ME TO GO BACK TO REHAB" After looking herself in the mirror that is a grainy security clip of herself doing crack, Amy Winehouse has decided to go back to rehab. Or her publicists did. Either way, she's setting herself straight and should be available for cover shoots in six to eight weeks. [The Sun]
As if recent pictures of Amy Winehouse weren't enough proof, The Sun has a video of Amy Winehouse doing crack, coke and ecstasy.
The tormented singing sensation took hit after hit of the deadly drug after a 19-minute binge in which she snorted powdered ecstasy and cocaine.
And she admitted she had just popped six Valium pills to “bring myself down”.
Kate Moss snorting coke on tape had some glamor to it; see her follow-up cover on Vanity Fair. Amy Winehouse doing crack is a DARE ad.
• Leelee Sobieski wears underwear because she's a class act. Hollywood Tuna puts a can of tuna fish over vag because they are too.
• Maroon 5 the David Sedaris circa Me Talk Pretty One Day of the modern music, performs on TRL. Related, last night at a gym at 23rd & Park, we overheard two girls talking about the spinning classes in Syracuse. We were left to contemplate whether they were actual people or just living stereotypes.
• Britney Spears has multiple personalities? Definitely maybe. Whatever, can we got off suicide watch? It's kind of depressing.
• Stars are just like us: Here's a picture of Bruce Willis picking something up. Gravity gets us all.
• On the other hand, Amy Winehouse stops by McDonalds, coked out of her mind, and after attending her husband's hearing today, which was nothing like our morning.
• Clay Aiken is creepy looking. Just saying the facts.
• Big boobs, small boobs, anorexic, chubby, drunk, soberish, Tara Reid always looks trashy.

• Nice abs, Fergie. And by nice abs Fergie, we mean nice airbrushing, Blender.
• We took a nap, and we totally missed Tara Reid's anorexia move. We saw it coming, though.
• Amy Winehouse is arrested for perverting the course of justice. We love it when British courts talk dirty.
• The children are always to blame: Kate Hudson claims when her son was born, she realized things would never work with Chris Robinson. We thought it had something to do with the weed, her raising career and his vanishing one.
• If not for Jessica Simpson, would anyone know that it's football season?
Breaking photo feature from People magazine: Stars eat! But not "just like us," when they’re eating at Subway, it’s not for an ironic Valentine’s Day, but for unironic benjamins.
We're all expecting Amy Winehouse to die. It seems inevitable, given the ferocious soul singer's combination of youth, chutzpah, talent, substance abuse and bad taste in men. The diminutive vocalist has just received six Grammy nominations for her second album, "Back to Black," a set of Motown-influenced ballads of codependency, but her real-life struggles with drug abuse have almost become more newsworthy than her music.In recent weeks, with the object of her codependency, husband Blake Fielder-Civil, imprisoned on an assault charge, the 24-year-old Winehouse's self-destructive behavior has made her a paparazzo's wet dream.

• Meanwhile, watch as these stock photographs of Amy Winehouse awkwardly spliced together to the tune of "Love is a Losing Game" tell the story of small, strangely coiffed woman who can't be trusted to breathe, speak or move on her own.
We’re all about charity here at Jossip. That’s why we give money in the tip jar at Starbucks and have partnered with Bid 2 Beat AIDS for their auction for the third straight year.
An Amy Winehouse signature is a special thing. Pretty soon, she’ll be too coked up to even sign her name. (By the way, we’re trying not to cross the line here, so appreciate our restraint.) So think of this Amy Winehouse "Back to Black" Signed CD as a limited edition commodity, sure to go up in value as the years go on. Not only will you be donating to a worthy cause, but in 20 years, you could take this CD on Antiques Roadshow and find out it's worth enough to remodel your kitchen.
