Amy Winehouse's New Home Is The Hospital

On Monday night Amy suffered from a seizure and was immediately rushed to the emergency room from her home in north London to the University College Hospital. Twelve hours later she was released. Her rep, Chris Goodman, insists that she is 'fine'.

According to Chris, Amy's seizure was an adverse effect of the new medication she has been taking to get 'clean'. Apparently the medication didn't go down very well.

This is Amy's second visit to a medical centre in two months. Last month the singer was taken to a clinic in London after she fainted at home. Her father told the press that she had developed an early stage of emphysema after smoking cigarettes and cocaine. A year ago she was sent to the hospital to get her stomach pumped because she had apparently overdosed.

Amy and her incarcerated husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, are known to be acute drug-users. Amy, possibly following her husband's footsteps to get herself imprisoned, has also had a few run-ins with the law. 

A video of her smoking cocaine was published by a tabloid newspaper, and although she was not charged, police were sent to investigate the matter.

She also received a warning in April for publicly assaulting [slapping] a man during a night out.

If there ever was a club that fully supported drugs and violence, I recommend Amy Winehouse as the poster-girl.
