Winehouse to get help?
Rumour has it that Amy Winehouse is finally going to get some help. She could very well be on her way to rehab! Yes, yes, yes!

If it's really true, then we're so proud of you Amy. Apparently Amy's dad, Mitch Winehouse, has revealed that she's considering taking that big step into rehab and facing her drug problems head on.

She's gone ahead and cancelled all her tour engagements for the rest of 2007 because apparently she can't perform without the support of her hubby Blake, who happens to be in jail right now. Yep, her loser husband's in jail charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice in an assault case.

Her rep, Tracey Miller, made a statement about the cancellation: "The rigors involved in touring and the intense emotional strain that Amy has been under in recent weeks have taken their toll."

"In the interests of her health and well-being, Amy has been ordered to take complete rest and deal with her health issues." Sounds to me like Amy's going to rehab. Of course the singer claims it just because she misses her husband, "I can't give it my all onstage without my Blake." Your Blake is not good for you Amy, get out before you two kill each other!

Lindsay at it again?
Ok, so, apparently Lindsay's become a bit of a social drinker again. Sigh. Is that what you spent all that time in rehab for Lindsay? No? I didn't think so.

Anyway, a source close to Lohan said, "She has been drinking a little bit. Over her week in New York, she did have a few drinks."

Some of her friends don't see the problem, since Lindsay's battle was apparently with drugs rather than alcohol. "For Lindsay, her real problem was drugs, not alcohol. In the past, it wasn't the drinking that was the problem – it was the heavy drug use. The drug use was way more intense than her party drinking. As long as she isn't doing drugs, she's okay."

Ok, forgive me for maybe being a little innocent here, but don't drugs and alcohol go hand in hand? Surely you can't even think about drinking when you're trying to recover from drug addiction? Just imagine what could happen after one wild night of drinking... methinks the drugs would be waaayyy too tempting then. Don't you think so? Can someone tell me how this all works please?

However, (yes, the plot thickens) on the other hand, Lindsay's publicist insists her Lindsay's not drinking again. "These so-called friends are making up things about her." Yah right, just like they were apparently lying about her drug abuse the last time? Please spin us another story, that one's so old.

Let's hope that Lindsay stays on the wagon and on the road to recovery. We'd hate to see her looking like a drug addict like before.

Jackson reunion
Ok, hold onto your panties, the Jackson Five are set for a reunion! Yes, you read it right, the Jackson Five will soon have a reunion tour! The best part? Michael's joining them! I wonder if they'll come to sunny SA? That would be really really cool to watch.

The Jackson Five are planning to reunite for a tour as early as next year according to Jermaine Jackson. Speaking to BBC Radio, Jermaine said that Michael would take part, and concert dates had been discussed.

"Michael will be involved. We feel we have to do it one more time. We owe that to the fans and to the public."

Ok, if the Jackson Five make a stop in SA, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm so there! The only thing they'd better watch out for is bright lights and Michael, cause we all know he'll melt if exposed to too much light. Shame. We love you Michael!

Britney revisited
So, there were crazy rumours flying around this week that Britney was pregnant, thank goodness they're not true! But while Britney's not pregnant, she sure is a little bit crazy.

The latest crazy stunt Britters apparently pulled was at the X-rated Hustler Store in Hollywood on 18 November.

She apparently picked up some naughty undies and headed to the fitting rooms. But store employees "told her they don't allow people to try on underwear," a source who apparently saw everything said. "She was really upset."

"She looked out of it. There was nothing going on behind her eyes." Then, in true Britney fashion, she threw a fit, took off her pants and underwear in the middle of the shop and apparently tried on a pair of boyshorts (with "Barely Legal" stitched across the butt) while 15 other shocked customers looked on! Britney! No man! How gross!

An witness told Us Weekly that the scene Britney caused was ridiculous: "The employees kept saying 'Don't change out here!' She's just like, 'Well, I couldn't take them in the fitting room'... It was like dealing with a child."

But instead of just leaving with some dignity intact, Britney's tantrum only got worse.

Apparently, "the staff told her she had to pay, and she rolled her eyes, but paid with a credit card," the source says. "As payback, on her way out, she went up to a mannequin, snatched the wig off the head, and stole it!" Ha! That'll show them Britney! Now you're a thief too. I'm just confused why the video hasn't surfaced yet. Surely there were security cameras, and what about cellphone cameras?

I'm sorry, but I can't wait to see all of this on video. Let's go people, surely you can sell it to someone? Come on, share now!

I think someone needs to start paying Britney to keep her clothes on, hell she should learn to keep everything (Husband, kids, career, hair).
Azwi on 30 Nov at 11:55

 

Thought those places have got video security cameras. Pity the accusations can be backed up with proof. Leave the poor girl alone. May be its everyone trying to have their 5 minutes if fame through her. Dont these people have lives.

All she need is for her daddy to take her and give her one hell of a hiding. If you want to behave like a child, you must be prepared to be punished like one to. And after all dont you guys think she is just doing it for the attention. If everybody just ignore her and carry of with life she will realize that she isnt getting all the attention anymore and wille stop. Typical child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These kids have just got too much money. They feel all powerful in that they can buy anything, do anything and say anything and the rest of the world just has to accept it. I guess its tough making so much money at a young age - your head has to be screwed real tight to deal with fame and sycophants.

As a so-called journo you really suck. As a human, you may have a private persona that is tolerable, but then again, given that you ask such stupid and vapid questions and that you think there is some form of accepted prohibited linkage between booze and drugs. you probably are a complete twat

I feel sorry for her. She needs some serious help.
Rose on 01 Dec at 07:57

 

She needs a damn good ol' fashioned spanking, in public. Moreover the threat of repeat punishment should she transgress further. That goes for all those over indulged spoiled little brats, Paris Hilton included.

Disgusting

Britney needs URGENT professional help! It does not take a professional psychologist to see that she is obviously HURTING! Her attention tactics are a silent scream for help! She is not emotionally matured at all and obviously has not progressed into adulthood yet. Probably a case of growing up too fast in an adult world! She's completely misunderstood....ALL SHE NEEDS IS A GOOD DOSE OF LOVE,NURTURING & UNDERSTANDING and a few trustworthy,god-fearing people around her to help her and support her -NOT TO JUDGE HER, USE HER OR ABUSE her! I would imagine at this point in time she doesn't know who to trust and whose her real friends/family.We need to pray for her!!!!
