Amy Winehouse Round-Up: White Lines, Don’t Do It
12:20PM Clem Bastow | You can pretty much put Amy Winehouse in the bucket along with Pete Doherty when it comes to drug busts and arrests these days. Evidently as soon as word went out that Winegums had been busted for crack, she’s been bailed.
Who can keep up in the fast-paced and exciting world of wasted talent and obliterated minds? It’s FUN!
Scotland Yard said that “around 1pm (11pm AEST) today a 24-year-old woman from the Camden area attended a London police station by arrangement and was arrested in connection with the alleged possession of a controlled drug.”
“This is in connection with an investigation connected to footage passed to the Metropolitan Police on January 22.”
Winehouse was not named, in line with force policy, but a spokesman for the singer said: “Amy Winehouse voluntarily attended a London police station today by appointment.
“She was arrested in order to be interviewed and is co-operating fully with inquiries. The interview relates to a video handed to police earlier this year.”
Scotland Yard said later she was released on bail.
Said video features Winegums apparently smoking crack, snorting coke and ecstasy, and presumably saying things that would make the combined editorial staff of The Sun and The Daily Mail spontaneously combust with excitement.
At this rate, the day she actually records something or releases new material, will anyone even notice? Perhaps that’s all part of her master plan. More »
