Lord, lord, lord, lord... Saying a story about Amy Winehouse having a (presumably drug-related) health crisis is "breaking news" is like saying "Exclusive: Man Invents Wheel" - but, there you go, evidently it is a breaking story in the UK, since no one seems to know what the bloody hell is going on this time:

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse has been stretchered out of her home and rushed tto the accident and emergency ward of a London hospital.

The singer was seen being wheeled out of her north London home just after 8.40pm this evening by paramedics, as her beleaguered father Mitch Winehouse watched.

Paramedics were called by father Mitch after Amy reportedly suffered an episode of 'fitting'. Her spokesperson said the singer had 'suffered a reaction to medication'.

She was then taken to the accident and emergency department of UCH where she has been admitted.

it feels wrong to be sincerely hoping that she actually did suffer a reaction to medication, because I'm sure I'm not the only person in the world assuming that suffering a "reaction" to some "medication" is probably the more likely cause at hand. Watch this space.
