Quote Of The Day

Filed under: Anglophilia > Drugs > Amy Winehouse

"I've known for a long time that my daughter has problems. But seeing it on screen rammed it home. I realise my daughter could be dead within the year. We're watching her kill herself, slowly. I've already come to terms with her dead. I've steeled myself to ask her what ground she wants to be buried in, which cemetery. Because the drugs will get her if she stays on this road. She's invited me to the Grammy awards next month, but part of me thinks she won't be alive by then. I look at Heath Ledger and Britney. She's on their path. It's like watching a car crash - this person throwing all these gifts away".

- Amy Winehouse's mother, Janis, told the Sunday Mirror

Amy's mum must feel soooo helpless, I too went down that road with our son, who is now clean. It doesn't matter what you say…..its up to the addicted suffering soul. Cos I have no doubt, Amy is deeply unhappy, why else would she do this to yourself? Give her some support and let the press leave her be.

fuck you. dont compare that cracked out scatter brain to Heath… He was amazing, a truly wonderful person… Amy is disgusting… Shame on you for comparing them.
Elien says – reply to this

67

WTF? the tragic death of heath ledger has nothing to do with her addictions,

heath ledger didn't die of an OD, he died of pneumonia + he was exhausted from all the working and travelling he had done the last months of his life and on top of that, he also suffered from sleeping problems
wow says – reply to this

68

She looks FANTASTIC!! I hope she cleans up and goes back to looking like the picture.
Brooklyn Lillies says – reply to this

69

Well JANIS is an asshole and we now know why AMY is an asshole. HOW DARE she even COMPARE her crackhead to Heath who was prescribed meds, not instructed on how to use them and accidentally OD… at the end of the Heath Ledger path is a doctor who fucked up BIGTIME….at the end of AMY WINEHOUSE is just a drug dealer she actively sought out… .as for Brit.. she is a HEAD CASE in need of prescription meds… NOT a drug addict which has been proven time and again….JANIS maybe should pay attention to her own house and not really cast stones at others….. fuckin cunt… I was on the border of not liking Amy… now I realize why she is such an asswipe…her MOTHER

holy shit, she looks NORMAL here!

I second this sentiment from #41 - Bethany:

To look at a pic of a beautiful, healthy Amy and then see the mess that she's become……..makes me wanna weep for her parents.

The 'before' and 'after' is just such a contrast. She looks healthy and happy in this picture. Maybe someone needs to shove this picture in her face and remind her what happy and healthy looks like.

I cannot imagine watching that happen to your child. With all 3 stars. And then on top of it having photographic proof and a new story shoved in your face everyday. The paps have gone too far with how they've chosen to cover these tradgies. What happened to just simply marveling at the stars…taking their photo on the red carpet. They're not even giving common human courtesy anymore. Its like we're fucking entitled to know absolutely every facet of these 'celebrities lives…every waking moment , every step they take and then on top of that we speculate what they could be doing behind closed doors. It has gotten to the point where they can't even die in peace.

Wow! She was actually pretty at one point. Now she looks like Skelator with a Beehive. How sad.

Looks like she has gotten fake BOOBS after this picture. Nowadays she's a lot skinnier AND boobier…
me says – reply to this

76

Janis must be on crack herself to even use Heath's name in the same sentence as Britney and Amy. Amy is a crackhead junkie, Britney is insane and Heath died from natural causes/heart attack, no illegal drugs or toxic ammount of prescribed drugs involved. Yeah, I can really see the resemblance there.

When you've been so blessed in life, and you just blow it away, it's like you're mocking God…and he doesn't like that.

Re: Jenny – Yea, wait until you have a child. I had the best parents a person can have..I ended up with drug and alcohol problems. Just mine weren't as public as these people. Was it my parents fault? HELL NO…My parents stood by me while I kicked it….I can't imagine how awful it would have been if they had to see it everyday and discussed by strangers every day…Have some compassion for the parents.
INTERVENTION! says – reply to this

79

Seriously, lady, fucking hog tie the 80 pound girl and drag her ass into rehab. Do what you have too. Fuck this celebrity bullshit and the fact that she is an adult. She is your baby still. Hold her ass down and tie her up to prevent her from leaving if you have too. It;s up to you to save her life.
lynne says – reply to this

80

Re: me – For one thing, we don't know exactly how he died…but you can be assured that drug abuse played a factor. Maybe it wasn't the immediate cause, but your system becomes completely whacked when you do drugs, by the amount and the kinds AND THE INTERACTION of them. If Heath had not a history of drug use, he would be alive today…he would probably be living with his daughter and we would not be talking about him, ad nauseum. That's the bottom line.
Tara says – reply to this

81

What a good mother, showing how smart she is. When her prophecy comes true, I'm sure she'll find solace by thinking how right she was and won't waste a minute thinking about what she could have done while her daughter was alive.
sam says – reply to this

82

why is this woman saying all these things to a newspaper about her daughter? if you have something to say about a personal matter you don't share every detail with tabloids. have some respect. if you cared so much about your daughter you wouldn't be exploiting her and making your family's public saga even more public than it already is.
mayra says – reply to this

83

OK, Im Gettin Sick Of Her Parents Talkin To The Media Every Other Day!OBVIOUSLY talkin to another newspaper or magazine wont help matters, stop being media whores and start tryin to help her… face to face! and also, i resent that heath ledger comment . wasnt his death accidental?? anyway, stop tryin to broadcast The fact that you are going to the grammys. UGH !
Amy Crackhouse says – reply to this

She'd look good there if her mouth wasn't fucking it up. Somewhere, a horse is missing its teeth. Amy Crackhouse is responsible.
Lauren says – reply to this

85

Heath Ledger and Amy Winehouse should not be mentioned in the same breath!! Her and Britney yes, but leave Heath alone. Nothing regarding Heath's cause of death has been confirmed or denied

YOUR ADDING TO IT,
auds says – reply to this

87

good god that's so sad!!! amy looks so good in the picture you posted perez, but it's so awful seeing all these young hollywood stars lives go down the drain. after river phoenix you'd think hollywood stars would stop killing themselves with drugs but in one week alone both brad renfro and heath ledger died, most likely at least partly to due with drug use!! UGH!
Sadie says – reply to this

88

Mrs. Winehouse wasn't comparing addictions, she was stating a fact! Heath's death was unexpected and devastating, fact, right??!! She's trying to make an addict see what can happen and it doesn't have to be on purpose!! Britney is a hot mess and she has children involved, Amy does not!! Let Amy get better and give momma Winehouse a freaking break…she's got one of the most talented voices and songwriters in her daughter, Amy, who hasn't been making the best of choices…so give her a break!
Britney for President says – reply to this

89

Ya know she still isn't exactly cute there but she looks happy and healthy and that is beauty. I love her music she is so freaking talented its sad she is such a wreck. I really really hope she gets the help she needs. I love her speaking voice too, in a nut shell she is awesome. Get help Amy!!!!!!

the autopsy hasn't even come out yet and that drug addict's mother is trying to group her stupid daughter in the same sentence as heath ledger?

heath ledger had way more class and respectability than her retched ass daughter EVER will.

Lynne says – reply to this

96

Re: alyx – An addict is an addict..the only difference is Heath had the brains to do it privately…and because it was so private, he's dead. If he showed up at events plastered, maybe the embarrassment would have gotten him some help. Who knows…it's too late now…at least Winehouse has a chance.
