Amy Winehouse Round-Up: Sometimes This Just Writes Itself

Honestly, just when you think things are on the up (Mum on your side, former teachers offering support, husband in jail), Winegums reminds us of the reasons why we began this lark in the first place, and brings us all back to square one.

In short: Amy Winehouse has been spotted with a nostril full of something suspicious, and it’s not a Vicks Inhaler.

As she walked out to greet waiting fans, the 24-year-old had a suspicious white substance lodged in her nostril.

The singer, who has previously admitted to a heroin addiction and once collapsed after a drugs overdose, seemed oblivious to it.

But she provoked concern at the gig after she arrived 40 minutes late on stage, rambled incoherently and disappeared off-stage repeatedly.

One concert-goer said: “She was drinking on stage but disappeared about three times for up to five minutes each time.

What can you say to that?

We’re inclined to think it’s time for Janis to start using old fashioned mothering techniques: “Either you start behaving or I’m going to send all your heroin to a starving child in the Sudan who’d appreciate it!”

That’ll do the trick.
