Amy Winehouse Round-Up: The Chronic 2008

While we’d never advocate drug use here at Defamer Australia, we’re somewhat pleased that Winegums seems to have downgraded from crack and heroin to plain old doob.

The emerging theme of Winegums Watch circa April 2008 appears to be blazin’ up, if you will – perhaps it’s time for Amy to dump Mark Ronson and begin a barnstorming collaboration with Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Willie Nelson and Cyprus Hill?

Following a six-hour pub crawl, the 24-year-old drug addict had to break into her own home early yesterday after losing her keys.

Her state is now such that she is being accused of shaming her husband – who is in prison awaiting trial on charges of assault and conspiring to pervert the course of justice.

…

Amy’s bender came after the star had been holed up at producer Mark Ronson’s house concentrating on finishing the much-anticipated theme tune to the next Bond film, Quantum of Solace.

Earlier this week the troubled singer was seen smoking what appeared to be a joint as she arrived back at her Camden home after an evening of partying.

Elsewhere in their coverage, the Mail insist on dropping the hopelessly daggy phrase “a marijuana joint” numerous times, which – while it may be correct grammar, or part of their style guide, or whatever – is about as hep as the time the Rolling Stones were reviewed by a London newspaper in the ’60s as being “on the beat with Not Fade Away, which is in the modern idiom”.

Up yours, granddad!
