Amy Winehouse Round-Up: When All Else Fails, Call Russell Brand

Amy Winehouse new.jpgWell, here I was thinking that Blake Fielder-Civil was more or less the last thing that Winegums needs in her life at the moment, but apparently all that "'til death do us part" stuff is, like, totally for reals, and Winegums has decided that the best way to get her husband back on side (you know, her junkie husband that looks like a living corpse and is in jail for assault and perverting the course of justice; you know, that awesome dude) is to go to rehab. And wouldn't you know it, skanky UK comedian and Forgetting Sarah Marshall dude Russell Brand hooked a sista up.

Amy, 24, will have treatment at the "small and friendly" Focus 12 Clinic in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, where funnyman Russell Brand beat his own demons.

A fortnight ago The Sun revealed how Amy was flat-hunting in Bury St Edmunds to make it easier to visit Blake.

Comic Russell then suggested to Focus 12 chief executive Chip Somers that she could get treatment locally at the same time. Chip agreed and contacted the star through pals.

Focus is only a few miles from Blake's home sweet home, Highpoint Prison. What a happy couple they are, eh? In all seriousness, though, this is a good thing. I never thought I'd live to see the day I thanked Russell "Shagger" Brand for anything (you know, other than not giving me an STD via the internet), but if this is what it takes to get Winegums back on track, then I'm all for it.
