Amy Winehouse Fights the Devil Drugs

Although I keep up on several celebrity gossip blogs (such as Celebrity Today) that I read through BlogExplosion and EntreCard, here at Roxiticus Desperate Housewives, I rarely post about celebrities beyond those other Desperate Housewives from the ABC Network. However, my good friend Mary Alice introduced me to the music of Amy Winehouse over the summer, during a late night conversation about spa rehab programs on a Girls' Night Out, so I do notice her name and photo when it flashes across my screen on the web. While I believe Amy Winehouse is a highly talented musician, the ongoing public displays of her drug habit continue to overshadow her talent. The latest stories say that the troubled singer, strangely dressed in skimpy black shorts and a lace bra, blamed the devil for her drug problems during a furious rant in a West London recording studio. An eyewitness said: "She lost it," prompting renewed fears for Amy's mental health. It was reported that Winehouse had threatened to kill herself with a knife earlier this month because she was missing her incarcerated husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who is currently serving a 27-month sentence for grievous bodily harm and perverting the course of justice.

Such a sad story, but typical I guess of the troubles of a celebrity lifestyle. I hope Amy Winehouse is able to move past her problems and get back on track to a new album.
