What is the only thing more dangerous than washing down a quart of vodka with a gallon of gin? NOT doing that exact thing.
Amy Winehouse, VOICE of a TENTH of a generation and general pile of human mess, did not die as a result of the excesses of a lifestyle that made her biggest hit so ironic and adorable. She was MURDERED by SOBRIETY! CAPITAL LETTERS EXCLAMATION POINT!
According to “family sources” the shock to her body of not being pickled in delicious alcoholic beverages was just too much for it to bear, and after sucking every possible drop of life giving booze from every tissue in what was left of her musculature, her addled frame simply seized, unable to handle being separated from the only form of liquid inside it and tragically took the life of our precious, precious flower. To try to give you an example of what to compare this to, just imagine a car without oil, a Hybrid without hippie urine, or a Sheen not filled with Tigers,
You see, the family is saying that despite reports of Amy indulging in a 72 hour drink-a-thon prior to her “surprising” death, that the real reason for her demise is that she’s a stupid fuck. Their words, not mine. See she was supposedly instructed to gradually decrease her alcohol intake from “Norse Myth” levels to “Roman Orgy” levels and so on down the drunken scale, to carefully reduce the levels of fun in her body. And the woman that said “No, no, no.” to previous offers of assistance (according to FAMILY MEMBERS) told medical professionals that it’s all of nothing. She either never stops drinking or she never stops never drinking. And her family’s well reasoned hypothesis is that the sudden halt of personality swallows was too much of a shock to a self ravaged system.
And really, their “logic” is hard to argue. Alcohol is, after all, one of the essential building blocks of life. The human celebrity is composed of 62% alcohol, with the remaining 38% comprised of mainly amphetamines, opiates, cannabis and an over inflated sense of self worth and misguided feeling of invincibility. Exact amounts vary on a case by case basis. So asking a celebriwreck to abstain from alcoholic consumption, is tantamount to telling the Earth to go fuck it’s oceans. And then where would this fine planet of ours be? A shriveled, brown, husk of it’s former glory. Just like Amy Winehouse.
Now again, just to be perfectly clear, that’s not ME saying that; that’s “family sources”. I would never say such things, because I’m mostly not a lunatic. But I’m also not an alcohol doctor, so I don’t know, it may be entirely possible that suddenly stopping killing yourself could kill yourself. I’m not qualified to say one way or the other. The same way I’m not qualified to say that Amy Winehouse was a liquor fueled zombie who cruelly had her life source yanked away from her by “professionals” and “people who cared for her well being”, causing her to dry up like a neglected tin man, before falling over, shattering into a cloud of crusty, dehydrated slivers and being blown away on the breeze like a Spider-Man villain. That’s not for me to say, that’s for HER OWN FAMILY (according to a “source”) to say, which they have, in not so many words…
So what have we learned then from this brave, flimsy song drinker? Hmm? Well, we’ve learned that if you have flushed your system of all vital fluids and replaced them with 300 proof drinky fun times, apparently it’s better to quit gradually, allowing your body the opportunity to replenish your juices as the fermented happy liquids fighting the endless struggle of keeping you upright while simultaneously trying to knock you down, are being drained.
Secondly, if you have a family who in interview after interview kept telling who ever would ask them “It’s not a matter of if she’s going to die young and tragically, but when. If only there were something that I could do, because I apparently care ever so much, but alas, there isn’t.” and you expect them to have any sort of rational reaction to the “sudden” and ”unexpected” news of their relative passing, then you’re going to wind up with them blaming not being shot with bullets as the most likely cause of sudden acute deadness.
And third, and I think most importantly: as long as you keep drinking, you will never die. So pour me another glass of immortality juice and let’s party like if we ever stop it’ll kill us!

Amy Winehouse, the iconic British soul singer, was found dead on Saturday in her London home. She was 27. The English singer found international fame with her smoky, hip-hop take on retro-soul, but she soon became a fixture of tabloid newspapers as her problems with drugs and alcohol brought about a strikingly public career collapse.
Ms. Winehouse became one of the most acclaimed young singers of the 2000s, selling millions of albums, winning five Grammy Awards and kicking off the British trend of retro-soul and R&B that continues today. Ms. Winehouse had a public image that seemed almost defiantly self-destructive. In her songs, Winehouse sang alcohol-soaked regrets of failed romances, and for many listeners the lyrics to the song “Rehab,” which won her three of the five Grammy Awards she received in 2008, crystallized her public persona: “They tried to make me go to rehab,” she sang, “I said, No, no, no.”
Ms. Winehouse had not released an album since “Back to Black,” but recently she appeared to be trying to revive her career. However, last month she canceled a brief European comeback tour after a last-ever disastrous performance in Belgrade, during which she appeared too intoxicated to perform properly.
This piece includes color photographs, a photo-gallery and two music videos, “Rehab” and her last-ever 2011 performance of “Back to Black” in Belgrade.

Amy Winehouse is dead at 27 years old.
According to E! News Online, an ambulance was called to the Rehab singer’s home in London at 4 p.m. today, but efforts to revive her failed.
Although a cause of death has not been reported, her ongoing drug addiction woes will certainly raise questions.
TMZ reports that no signs of foul play is suspected in the death, and an autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow, according to Scotland Yard.

The cutest finale for a fashion show ever.
In what is clearly the most insurmountable public relations snafu on Earth, well, fashion Earth anyway, Christian Dior was challenged to stay the course and host their fashion show today in Paris in spite of the debacle that is John Galliano. The above picture features the staff from Dior ateliers, who took the final bow at the show. This is the most fantastic, emotional, democratic, loving way to handle such an awkward moment and to thank those who attended the show. Yesterday The Huffington Post asked its zillions of readers whether or not the Dior and John Galliano shows should be boycotted. My answer? No. This from a concentration camp survivor’s son, who was absolutely appalled by the quote by Galliano, “I Love Hitler”, which would make a fierce T-shirt…kidding! Anyway, each season, I would wait with bated breath to see the images from the Christian Dior show. I was an avid Galliano fan. Does his recent Charlie Sheen moment make me despise him? Maybe his inner demons. But not his craft. One has to excuse those who are at the depth of despair, crippled by their addictions. Believe me, I know this all to well. The one life lesson that has helped me throughout many dark hours is ‘forgiveness is the key’. Am I ready to forgive him? Well, let’s just first get him off to rehab, watch him eat a few slices of humble pie and finally, lose those quirky hats.

John Galliano was channeling Jane Fonda as Lillian Hellman in Julia.
The news about John Galliano’s anti-Semitic rant and his professed love for Hitler is one of the worst bits of news to come along since the War on Terror and the rising obesity rate. John Galliano’s shows for Christian Dior have always topped my best collections list. His flair for the dramatic and artistry put him leagues above the rest of fashion’s elite. Clearly, John Galliano is at the height of his addictions and it is hard to hold people accountable for their actions. But, as a concentration camp survivor’s son, it is hard to immediately forgive this brilliant, raving lunatic who is more of a cartoon, really, than a man. His choice to be the closing element of each fashion show proves that his ego was out of whack and he suffers from Delusions of Grandma. Do I believe he hates Jews while he is sober? Probably not. I’d like to think he is much too busy creating amazing collections. We all say stupid things while under the influence of whatever libations float your boat. And aren’t we all a little anti-something deep down in our hearts? The real issue here is, if he is walking around town wearing an Andrews Sister meets Russian Cossack hat, then surely he is out of his mind.

PASADENA, CA - Conservative talker Glenn Beck suffered a personal and professional setback Friday, when it was announced that Beck's radio and television programs would be placed on temporary hiatus while the host recovers from a two-day anti-psychotic prescription drug binge in Las Vegas. Producers for Beck's Fox News program claim the controversial host took too many anti-psychotics, and is, therefore, not crazy enough to espouse his usual lunatic theories or go on one of his trademark insane rants that his viewers have come to expect.
"It's with a heavy heart that we must temporarily pull Glenn Beck from our schedule," said Fox News head of programming Matthew Nosal in an official statement. "We fully support Glenn, and when he gets those much-needed prescriptions out of his system, we'll be happy to have him back on the air, talking nonsense."
Beck, 46, was rushed to Desert Springs Hospital early Friday morning, after the man accused of supplying Beck with the dangerous medications, psychiatrist Dr. Lance Glavin, placed a call to 911. When paramedics arrived at the buffet at the Circus Circus Hotel & Casino, they found Beck sprawled across the dessert table, speaking rationally about deficit spending, and coherent on the topic of Muslims in America.
"When Beck was at the buffet, he was lucid, but he was making sound, reasonable arguments about foreign policy, politics, everything he talks about on TV, except he was making perfect sense," claimed one witness. "So something was definitely wrong."
After receiving emergency treatment, Beck was remanded to the Pasadena Recovery Center for drug rehabilitation. In a written statement, delivered on Beck's radio program by his producer, Beck expressed remorse for his actions and apologized to his fans and staff. "I am an imperfect vessel, but I promise I'll do what's necessary to reclaim the fevered paranoia that this country needs."
Beck's listeners did their part to ensure his speedy recovery, by flooding Beck's room at the Pasadena Recovery Center with blackboard chalk and pictures of President Obama as Hitler. Beck's doctors say he is "very grateful."

Polly want crack? Or maybe a beer or a cloud of cigarette smoke blown in the beak?
All are familiar scenarios to Wendy Huntbatch, president of the World Parrot Refuge in the Vancouver Island community of Coombs where, among 800 rescued birds, there are parrots withdrawing from drugs, recovering from exposure to smoke, or healing after mistreatment by drug users and dealers.
"We have birds that were used as toys by drug addicts. Watching them go through withdrawal is dreadful," Huntbatch said.
The backgrounds of many birds at the World Parrot Refuge are enough to make their feathers fall out -- literally.
A derbyan parakeet came in with all colour sucked out of its feathers, a broken tail and a bad case of the shakes.
"He would just vibrate," Huntbatch said. "It was horrible."
That parakeet is a success story. "We have given him vitamin shots and he has done remarkably well. It took about three weeks before his colour started coming back," Huntbatch said.
Others take much longer to recover or are beyond help.
An emaciated macaw had lost all its feathers by the time it arrived in Coombs, about 30 kilometres northwest of Nanaimo.
"I worked with him here every day and we managed to put some weight on him, but we never could get far. He was too damaged and he passed on," Huntbatch said sadly.
However, the macaw's suffering wasn't entirely in vain. While he lived, he served as a graphic lesson to warn kids away from drugs.
"We have school trips coming in and I would show the kids another bird of the same species and then show them this bird and say, 'This is what drugs do to you,'" Huntbatch said.
The World Parrot Refuge gives birds that arrive on its doorstep a home for life and is unique in Canada.
But money is running out and Huntbatch wonders what the future holds.
Provincial gambling grants for the refuge were cut off two years ago and the $400,000 annual budget has to be raised entirely from donations.
