I know I am not going to do an Amy Winehouse story any justice, but k’s busy solving world hunger and such, so I will give it my best shot. According to reports, that crazy British crackhead Amy Winehouse is taking her weave on the road to Israel in hopes of finding a cure for her own special brand of crazy.
The Sun is reporting on Amy’s latest efforts to clean up her act:
AMY WINEHOUSE will fly to Israel in a bid to beat her drug addiction, according to the chairman of the country’s Anti-Drug Authority.
Eliezer Cohen says the Ivor Novello Award winning singer will undergo a “very short, intensive and effective treatment” costing 6,400.
He told the Jewish Chronicle: “Amy’s people spoke to a renowned Israeli institution and an Israeli professor who conducts a very special and effective method.
�She has requested to come to him to do this method, since it’s a method that is suitable for her.”
Andre Waismann, who will treat Amy, said: “All of my patients are discharged healthy and no longer dependent.
There is a misunderstanding about drug addiction. People think it is a social and psychological problem, but it’s a neurological problem.
Whether it’s Amy Winehouse or anyone else, it is a privilege to be able to treat anyone who is opiate-dependent, and allow them to live a normal life.”
Amy was celebrating her Ivor win last night – despite turning up halfway through the ceremony and missing the presentation.
There’s no misunderstanding about drug addiction in Amy’s case. She surrounds herself with enablers and yes-people who will happily supply her with all the drugs she wants to feed her addiction, in exchange for being able to glom on to her “glamorous lifestyle.” Unlike in Britney Spears case, where her father seized upon the opportunity to take the necessary steps to help his daughter, clearly Amy’s dad Mitch has ZERO control or influence over his daughter, and ultimately refuses to do the hard things required to keep her from destroying her life. I fully understand she’s an adult, but a parent does whatever they can to keep their child from harm’s way, even a crazy, whackadoodle like Amy Winehouse.
Nothing pisses me off more than a tremendously talented artist who wastes their gifts by doing drugs. Please Amy, get your crap in one bag already, if Britney Spears can get it together, so can you!
