Troubled soul singer Amy Winehouse was admitted to a hospital over the weekend because of a bad reaction to medication, her spokeswoman said Tuesday.
The news comes a day after her husband Blake Fielder-Civil lost his appeal against a jail sentence for a vicious attack on a pub landlord and a subsequent attempt to cover it up.
Winehouse, 25, had “a bad reaction to the combination of medication she has currently been prescribed,” said a spokeswoman for the Grammy Award-winning artist, who was admitted to a private London clinic on Sunday.
“Amy is on a drug replacement programme and has had bad reactions to her medication before,” a friend told the Daily Mirror tabloid.
Winehouse, who is fighting drug and alcohol problems, has suffered a string of health scares since apparently being caught smoking crack cocaine in footage released by The Sun newspaper in January.

It’s been rumoured for some time now, but it looks like it will finally happen. Namely, the Jacksons (or Jackson 5 if you’re really old) are to tour again. This is according to Celebrity Big Brother housemate, and former Jackson (that’s former member of the Jacksons, he’s still actually a Jackson you understand?) Jermaine Jackson, announced it.
This won’t just be the five members of the Jacksons though, it will be a whole family affair including little sister Janet. Though hopefully it won’t include big sister Latoya, that would be painful.
The tour, which they’re currently working on putting together, will be a celebration of everything Jackson, from their early days as the Jackson 5, their middle days as the Jacksons, Michael’s somewhat successful solo career and Janet’s rather popular hitlist as well.
Jermaine stated:
This has been a long time coming for the Jackson family to get back together.
It is going to be more like a family affair. Janet’s going to open and, of course, the original Jackson 5 - Michael, Randy and the whole family - we’re in the studio, we’re planning on being out there next year.
Sad news for Doctor Who fans as the tenth doctor, David Tennant, has announced he will not be returning for another series as Doctor Who. David will be appearing in four one off specials to air next year, the first of which is expected to be on Christmas Day.
Tennant announced the news that most Doctor Who fans already knew, but didn’t really want to believe, as he collected his award for outstanding drama performance. An emotional David Tennant stated:
When Doctor Who returns in 2010 it won’t be with me.
Now don’t make me cry. I love this part, and I love this show so much that if I don’t take a deep breath and move on now I never will, and you’ll be wheeling me out of the Tardis in my bath chair.
I’ll miss it
Tennant added that he believed three years was the right time to play the Doctor, as he stepped in for Christopher Eccleston in 2005.
I think it’s better to go when there’s a chance that people might miss you, rather than to hang around and outstay your welcome.
That’s one of the reasons I think it’s right to take a deep breath and bow out when it’s still fun, when it’s a novelty.
I don’t ever want it to feel like a job, so I want to move on when it still feels exciting and fresh and that means I’ll miss it.
Producer Russell T Davies is planning a spectacular exit for Tennant, when the next, and eleventh Doctor, will take over the role.
Russell Brand quit the BBC yesterday over his and Jonathon Ross’ misplaced practical joke on Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs. The pair phone Sachs and left an answerphone message to the effect that Russell Brand had slept with Sachs’ neice (as it transpires, that was actually true) but the prank backfired when Sachs complained, and the BBC have now received thousands of complaints over the joke.
In addition to the resignation of Brand, his partner in cwime (see what we did there?) Ross, has been suspended.
Brand, famed for his uncontrollable outbursts, stated:
As I only do the radio show to make people laugh I’ve decided that given the subsequent coverage I will stop doing the show.
I got a bit caught up in the moment and forgot that at the core of the rude comments and silly songs were the real feelings of a beloved and brilliant comic actor and a very sweet and big hearted young woman.
I hope that now Jonathan and the BBC will endure less forensic wrath.
The fact that the prank has snowballed so much out of control to cause the two to be suspended, and thousands of complaints to pour in, that even Prime Minister Gordon Brown to wade in and condemn the jokesters.
Jonathan Ross is thought to be the highest paid presenter on British television at the moment, with a reported £18 million contract over three years.
Everyone’s going James Bond crazy at the moment as Daniel Craig hits the big screen in his second outing as Ian Fleming’s 007 on Friday in Quantum of Solace (no, we don’t know what it means either).
It seems only fitting then that the original, and to many people the best, James Bond, Sean Connery, has announced his ‘coming out of retirement’ for one more mission. Now before you get too excited, no he’s not coming back as 007, we’re just talking about acting in general. You see, Sean announced his retirement from the silver screen back in 2003 when he played his last ever role, in the much maligned League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Obviously Connery didn’t want that to be his last film, so he’s back to do it properly, alongside Orlando Bloom.
78-year-old Connery is set to star, for the first time in five years, in the film ‘Quest of Sheherzade’, which is based on the 1001 Arabian Nights story.
Celina Jaitley, the female star of the film, has broken the news to the media about Connery’s involvement.
Sean Connery is there in the film and recently Orlando Bloom was also signed. They are planning to start the shooting from January next year.
Spurs must be thinking that Harry Redknapp is the messiah, he has to be. They’d gone all season without a win and with his first game on the weekend Tottenham managed to win against Bolton, putting them within touching distance of getting off the bottom.
Then, tonight, they played their bitter North London rivals Arsenal at the Emirates, where they hadn’t won for over ten years. Surely Harry wouldn’t pull a miracle there as well?
After David Bentley’s opener from forty yards it looked as though Harry may just do that, with an unlikely, nay impossible, win. However Arsenal are a formidable side, and they really don’t like losing to Spurs, so 1-0 to Tottenham quickly became 1-1, then 2-1, then 3-1.
Spurs were getting that sinking feeling, and Harry needed to work his magic. In a mad two minute spell the score became 3-2 then 4-2, which looked like Arsenal would put the game to bed. As the game entered the last 10 minutes it’s as if the writing was on the wall for a typical, yet unlikely finish. The Redknapp magic was cast and Spurs made it 4-3, before an Aaron Lennon last minute equalizer capped the game of the season so far, giving Spurs a 4-4 draw.
He is the messiah!
Every English football fan remembers Diego Maradona for one thing, and one thing only; his cheating ‘hand of god’ goal against England in the quarter final of the World Cup in 1986.
Yes he was a great player, possibly the best ever, and yes he also scored arguably the greatest ever goal in that very same match when he ran past the entire England team and slotted in under Peter Shilton… BUT, none of that matters. He also jumped up with Shilton and smacked the ball into the net with his hand, knocking England out of the World Cup in a dirty, cheating fashion.
Well, the dirty cheating Maradona could now be going to ply his trade as the coach of Argentina, so he may get to do it to England again in the 2010 World Cup.
Despite only having two managing jobs in his career, but the Argentinean FA look set to gamble on the cheat.
The offer attracted me a lot. As soon as it is confirmed I will start working.
The idea is to start working immediately after the official announcement, with the players who are in Argentina and then take the first plane to talk to the ones in Europe.
Good luck Diego, we’re all counting on you!
In a sickening display of bad karma, paedophile pop-star Gary Glitter is to get £100,000 from software giant Hewlett Packard after they decided to use one of his tracks in an advert.
Do they not know who he is? Do they not care about being associated with a man who was jailed for having sex with two children, aged nine and eleven?
What the hell were they thinking?
Someone at Hewlett Packard clearly had a career ending moment of inspiration when they thought ‘who can we have for our new TV campaign? I know, Garry Glitter, he’s very popular with the kids’.
What’s even funnier is that the song they’ve chosen to use is ‘Do You Wanna Touch Me’… make your own jokes up there, this is just too easy.
Glitter has just re-entered the UK after being released from a Vietnam prison for sexual assault on children.
Unsurprisingly the use of the child molester’s music in a TV campaign has angered child protection organisations. Child Abuse-watch.net stated:
It shows a distinct lack of sensitivity.
Quite.
They say lightening never strikes twice, but for 52 cows in Uruguay it doesn’t have to, because they were all killed at once by a single lightening bolt. The unlikely freak of nature happened, toasting the cows (but presumably not making them into tasty burgers) in San Jose.
All of the cows were touching a fence that went around their field when the lightening bolt struck the fence, electrocuting the cows all at the same time. A local newspaper released a photo of the cows, lined up and burnt to a charcoal colour by the unlikely event.
According to local veterinarians, cows often gather together in one place to shield themselves from storms. The fact that they crowded around a fence and were all killed at the same was unlucky, and indeed described by a meteorologist, Fernando Torena, as ‘very bad luck’.
It’s not known what will happen to the carcases of the cows now that they’ve been burned alive by lightening, but it’s rumoured that McDonalds have already tabled an offer for their new ‘McStrike burger’.
