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

WOW! Wino looks great in that pic! I sure hope she'll pull herself up and look like that again. I also hope she'll get a tooth to replace that hole in her mouth!
Paging basic hygiene! Please come to the aid of Wino and Twitney!
what's on her neck
?
I agree with her, ALL OF HOLLYWOOD IS DOOMED IF THE DRUG DEALERS DON'T GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE. LAPD NEEDS TO STEP UP & TAKE THEM(DRUG DEALERS) OFF THE STREETS. I KNOW THE PAPARAZZI IS A BIG PART OF THE DRUG PROBLEM, THE STARS BUY IT FROM THEM.
Don't EVEN compare crackwhore to Heath, Perez. You do not know shit about him, so STFU.
Re: alyx – Exactly what I was thinking!
excuse me, but what do heath and amy have in common? to make that parallel is just wrong and very reckless to say.
Shut the fuck u woman, you have no right comparing Heath Ledger to your daughter or britney - it is a completely different ball game - No one knows how Heath Ledger died, HE CERTAINLY WAS NOT ON BLOODY COCAINE - NOR WAS HE EVER PHOTOGRAPHED SNORTING COKE OR ANY OTHER DRUG SO SHUT THE FUCK UP UNTIL YOU HAVE UR FACTS RIGHT MRS WINHEHOUS
lol. ..wait…?? i coulda swore shes worse off then britney….and what does heath ledger have to do with the fact that shes a feind?
Your in denial if you don't think Heath's name should be with them.
Actually Brittany's problems are do to a chemical imbalance in her body and more a mental condition.
Heath Ledger was a drug addict, the results of his death can say his heart was no longer working or another medical term, but at the end of the day he OD'D. Normal 28yrs are not surrounded by 6 pill bottles. Heath had all the classic signs of drug problems and there are enough people saying this to be the case. His family said it was a terrible accident, meaning he didn't kill himself, but the never once said he didn't do drugs. No one has come forward and said he did not have drug issues, because that would be a lie.
Also Amy W a very talented artist.
Bottom line if you do drugs to extremes it will destroy your life, eventually you push the people you love out of your life and end up dead with shady characters around you.
Amy W still has a chance to change things, she does need to look to Heath as an example of what will happen if she doesn't, her mother is right.
holy crap! she cleans up good. i hope she gets better!
1ST THING 1ST, AMY WINEHOUSE IS A CRACKWHORE!!! DO NOT COMPEAR HER TO HEATH LEDGER, HE WAS NO DRUGGIE…. SAY WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT BRITNEY, BUT WE AINT SEEN NO VIDEOS OF HER TAKING DRUGS… SO AMY MUM COULD JUST PISS OFF… DUMB ASS BITCH!
heath ledger was not on a f*cking path. how dare they say that…how could you possibly compare heath ledger's life to that of britney or amy winehouse?!
Please don't ever say Heath and Brittany are alike again…ever.
Look at Mom just giving up, how pathetic. How about grabbing her by her beehive and dragging her skinny ass into rehab and making her stay??!! How about let's be parents for a change instead of letting her do whatever she wants??!!
yikes
I hope you'll get better Amy. I love your voice. And no matter what people out there say you are amazing. Just a little cracked.
she looks like a monster.
go back to crack immediately!
That's really sad and especially because she's right. It must be really hard on a person's family to watch them go through that.
Heath Ledger?? WTF?! For one thing, we don't even know what he died from yet, and even if it was drugs, he was definitely NOT like the horrifying train wrecks that wino and brit are. Sick!
All she needs is some Crest Whitestrips, and she'd be a knockout!
For real — it's very sad to see what she's evolved/devolved into. I don't have a problem with drugs, per se… to each his/her own… But in Amy's case, and in TOO MANY cases, drugs have turned her into a hollow, souless shell of a person. IF she makes it through, she may not quit drugs altogether… but I hope that if nothing else, the rehab at least helps her find her soul and humanity and perspective again. As far as comparing Heath/Britney/Amy, obviously there are huge differences, because they are different people. But somehow alcohol and drugs always seem to be the great equalizer.
RE-DONK-U-LOUS
You've known for a while she had problems… so where were you? And what on earth gives you the right to comment on Heath Ledger's death… there was no evidence beyond published rumors that he had any kind of addiction. Amy, on the other hand, is an outrageous, unrepentant crack addict who spends most of her time stumbling about high in the public eye. This woman owes Heath's parents and family an apology for speaking so out of turn.
#110, Denial… You've got to be kidding. Go back, read some more and come back later. Heath was not "surrounded by 6 pill bottles". You just read that false internet report soon after he passed and treated it like it was straight out of the Bible. It has since been discredited. He had 6 prescription bottles, but they were in cabinets (kind of like any other normal person keeps in their home). They were anti-anxiety and sleeping meds because he was going through a rough time in his life. He wasn't just sitting at home getting loaded out of his tree.
The people arguing that Wino's Mom had no place mentioning Heath are not in denial. They are compassionate, open-minded people who don't believe everything they hear or read. You should try it some time. You really believe all of these "inside sources" who suddenly had such a concern about his "addiction" when it was time to sell a newspaper, but didn't give a shit in real life? PUH-LEASE.
Mama Wino should have kept her mouth shut about Heath Ledger! Her daughter and Brit are trainwrecks, but Heath was far from a trainwreck and we still don't know what happened to him.
wow.. she was so much prettier before crack!
For her mom to even remotely compare Heath Ledger to Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse is fucking absurd.
Oh she looks so good here! And seems a lot happier than now. Poor poor girl. Hope rehab works for her.
wow..she is actually pretty…i hope she can get herself back together
she shud never have mentioned Heath Ledger in the same breath as Britney and Amy Shame on her!
Wow. She really looks beautiful here……I understand all the other changes, but did anyone else notice the gap in her teeth got bigger? Is that due to drug use too?
Amy needs rehab that includes family counselling component. Anger is a terrible thing.
Mom is grieving…
how sad
with some new teeth, she could actually be pretty.
WTF!!!! Why is she even talking about Heath Ledger he just died for christ sake!!!!!!!!!
WTF!!!! Why is she even talking about Heath Ledger he just died for christ sake!!!!!!!!!
First of all. She cannot compare her daughter to Heath. Britney has mental
problems maybe Amy do too. Mom get her some help! Amy is a power house
all on her own. She CAN sing. Let's hope she get's her stuff together soon.
Amy's mom is a BITCH MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Amy's mom is a BITCH MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously tho, doesn't anyone remember how she said that she joked about putting Amy down ( like they did their cat ) and taking the cat to the dentist instead of the other way around??? Amy's problems are because of her mom, she's doing this in a desperate bid to gain her mom's attention!!!!!!!!!!! Now, bitch mom says that her own daughter might be dead???Which mom says that? Which mom thinks that? And finally which mom puts that in print???? YOu, guessed it….a bitch mom
I'm not sure why Heath Ledger's name needed to come up. He wasn't anything at all like Amy or Britney and no one even knows for sure how he died yet. Very insulting. Stop talking to the media, mom, and support your daughter.
I'm pretty sure Amy Winehouse is WAAAAAAAY worse off that Britney. Amy is basically dead…sad to say, but she is. Such a talent going to waste. Britney, well, I love Britney, she's not doing too well herself but at least she's not doing crack in front of a camera and going out in public with white powder on her nose. In other words…Amy's mom needs to realize her daughter is a wreck…can't even compare Winehouse to Spears.
She actually looks good here!
Amy is gonna be fine, I'm sure. I understand why her mother feels that way, it's horrible to see someone you love, being addicted to drugs. I truly hope that everything will turn out alright for Amy, her family and Blakey
Re: Bruce – You're right. You can't compare Amy and Britney to each other. Britney has two kids. She has a responsibility, but she doesn't give a shit about anyone else. but herself. The only one Amy is hurting is herself. So.. Sorry bitch, but Brit Brit is way worse than Amy. But then again they have different problems and lives so they shouldn't be compared!
Only a piece of shit mother could state something like this!!!!!!!!!!
THERE ARE WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BETTER MOTHERS IN THE WORLD THAN
YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The world is not flat!!!!!!!
LOVE IS NOT HATE!!!!!!
YOURE MUCH WORSE THAN YOUR DAUGHTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY DO YOU SHIT KIDS IN THE WORLD IF YOU DON'T WANT THEM BUT
ONLY THEIR MONEY;BEAUTY;TALENTS AND SUCCESS?????????
YOU SOUND LIKE A PHONY, BRAINWASHED; DISGUSTING BARBIE MACHINE!
IF YOU REALLY LOVED YOUR KID THAN YOU WOULD NOT WISH DEAD UPON
HER!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK YOU AND GET OUT OFF AMYS WAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHE DESERVES SOMEONE BETTER THAN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
INSANE MONEY WHORE!!!!!!!! FUCK YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DID IT OCCUR TO PEOPLE THAT THE "PATH" AMY'S MOM IS SPEAKING OF IN HEATH'S CASE IS THAT OF AN EARLY DEATH. SHE DID NOT SAY HE WAS ON DRUGS. SHE IS SIMPLY ADDRESSING THE TRAGIC LIFE OF TWO YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY. GIVE HER A BREAK, SHE IS WATCHING HER OWN CHILD GO DOWN THE SAME ROAD IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
What a cop-out! Don't GIVE UP! Get her some HELP!!!!
um.. Janis,….don't flatter yourself…. Heath Ledger and your daughter, Amy, are in COMPLETELY different categories… I havent seen pics of heath smoking crack or with coke all up in his nose have you?….NO. If he did battle drugs, he didnt do it in the eye of the public..and his drug use was a private issue he dealt with, Heath was known for his ACTING, and his TALENT… Amy is known for being a crackwhore.
doubt that a one months or a couple weeks of rehab will stop an addiction that's been going on much longer. She needs to stay longer in rehab than that.
Keep Heath out of your family problems. You don't know how he died. If you don't want your daughter dead, then fucking intervine. Dumbass!
Well, at least she looks clean here…I don't mean clean from drugs, I mean clean as in bathed.
Amy + Britney + Heath Ledger = all on drugs. granted, crack is uh, pretty over the top, but misuse or mixing or over abuse of PRESCRIPTION pain and sleep meds is EXTREMELY dangerous, which so far seems to be what Heath Ledger was doing that contributed to his death. DRUGS KILLED HEATH LEDGER AND THEY WILL PROBABLY KILL AMY WINEHOUSE, EVEN IF THEY WERE DIFFERENT KINDS OF DRUGS. HOW CAN YOU MISS THE COMPARISON. YOU'RE ALL RETARDED. I'm sorry the pharmaceutical companies have you guys brainwashed and confused to somehow think they're less dangerous than whatever the fuck the britney and amy are doing, but aside from the crack its pretty much just as bad. i don't look down on him, because alot of people have this problem which is very sad, but again, i think the comparison is very valid, and i feel so bad for the parents of anyone who have to watch their children struggle with a chemical dependence problem that can lead to them dying, LEGAL DRUGS (only legal because and american company made them, not a poor person) OR OTHERWISE.
i hardly think that heath and those two crack whores are comparable
I look at Heath Ledger and Britney. She's on their path—that is the biggest joke ever! Amy Crackhouse is the one being photographed with a crack pipe looking like death. At least Britney looks halfway normal. Crackhouse mom must be using the crackpipe as well.
what an idiot! she has no right to assume heath ledger died of illegal drugs. autopsy is still doing a report so no one knows how exactly he died. it could have been the mixing of all his prescription drugs that killed him. who is she to assume he's some drug addict or something
Re: Lisa – Ummm…Heath Ledger was great, but nothing whatsoever compared to the legend that is Amy Winehouse. There's been nothing remotely close in comparison to her in the music industry in years. Prince and many other artists have accredited her for saving the music industry within the past couple years. I pray to God she can get herself back together…
oh my gosh…she looks so good back then!
Re: alyx – too bad Amy's career is faaarrrrr superior to Heath Ledgers. Its not even debatable. Just fact.
Vicious habits aside, Amy winehouse's music is amazing and breath-taking. and i know she's not in the right path but i really do hope she gets better.
Mother should be fighting to save her daughter not preparing for her death …it is still preventable . Crack is a visible drug when did Janis realise there was a problem!
She look so pretty here. Drugs just destroy a person. Let's hope she can bounce back!
i don't think she should compare amy and britney to heath…
heath respected his craft
and there is no concrete evidence that heath had a drug problem…
grrrr…
Just so Winehouse's mother knows, nothing has been proved that Ledger died from drugs. She needs to get her f****ing facts straight before she drags good actors through the dirt. Spears I can understand but not Ledger, nothing has been proved yet.
Re: denial –
I agree. You people are fucking morons if you think Heath Ledger wasn't a major drug addict. You are probably the same people who swore River Phoenix was clean because he was a vegan. Grow up. His addiction wasn't as public as Amy's, but I am sure it was just as bad. I loved Heath and sad about his death, but the fact remains, he was a hardcore drug abuser. Yes that means coke, heroin, ectasy, meth etc… Even if he died of a heart attack it is because his past use damaged his organs. Take off the blinders already.
she's so damn ugly!!!
Now Ledger was a legend! Great potential, just like Amy is to music!! If she died then she would become legendary. Better alive and struggling.
I too find it hard to believe the she had the gall to compare Amy to Heath Ledger. Heath was a very talented actor on the road to greatness and through all accounts a gentle, compassionate, and kind young man. In addition, I don't think she is in the same catagory as Britney either other than the fact they neither woman will accept the help. Amy is a drug addict who is in need of rehab before she does overdose and Britney is woman obviously suffering a from a mental illness whois also in need of treatment.
Amy was beautiful! Goes to show what a creepy guy and a few drugs will do for a girl…
I understand the message she's trying to convey about worrying for her daughter's life, but she should have never compared Amy to Heath and his passing. Heavy narcotics have been ruled out in his death and he certainly was not "throwing all these gifts away."
so pretty what happened? i hope she gets it together so she can go back to this.
how dare this woman compare heath ledger to britney.
i would be so mad if my parents talked to tabloids about my problems. it wouldn't make me want to see them.
i know lots of people who are addicts. what they need is a steady hand to keep them down to earth and support them through this difficult time in their life.
its not something you can just quit doing.
i hear she has actual talent unlike certain others. i hope the best for her.
Heath Ledger does not deserve to be in the same category as Britney and Amy Winehouse and it was disrespectful and irresponsible of AW's mother to group them together like that. THERE IS NO PROOF AT THIS TIME THAT HEATH LEDGER DIED AS THE RESULT OF ANY SORT OF ILLEGAL DRUGS IN HIS SYSTEM, nor is there any evidence he was a habitual user of illegal drugs. This makes him QUITE DIFFERENT FROM AMY WINEHOUSE. Even if it turns out that he did have illegal drugs in his system, she should not have spoken so soon. Moreover, there is no proof he was a habitual user of drugs, and AMY W is clearly AN ACTUAL DRUG ADDICT. For that matter, Britney stands in contrast to Amy as well– in that she seems to have emotional/mental problems and not just a drug dependency problem (recall: when she was at her craziest/meltdown moment, she tested negative for drugs). In any case, I feel sorry for Amy Winehouse's mom…I really do. I just feel that she should not speak about the dead as being similarly messed up when there is no proof.
Re: HEATH LEDER WAS A COKEWHORE LIKE AMY –
the 20$ bill didn't have drug residue you fucking moron. and good, i hope you do go and do drugs and fuck up your life. shut the fuck up.
and amy whinehouse and heath ledger should NEVER be compared because heath actually has talent. amy talks to music and blows a lot of coke.
I love Amy! I hope she gets all the help she needs because I dont know what I would do without her music
Sad! They just need to stay with her. They need to be around as much as possible. Everyday all day if thats what it takes. Even if she pushes them away they need to hold on even tighter.
uh EXCUSE ME!
do we know for sure ledger had a drug addiction yet? uh NOOO
and uh- Amy wouldn't make a good gay cowboy anyway.
she she blame herself. hobag.
thats so sad
look how pretty and healthy she looks and happy too, stay away from crack girl
The sad part about it (well, One of the sad parts) is that at her present post-crack weight Amy is actually a lot closer to what Hollywood considers "normal". That should tell you a Lot.
I really hope someone's able to help this girl. If Drew Barrymore could do it.. right?
I don't have faith in much anymore, but I am going to put my faith in Amy and that she will work all of this out. Seeing this picture stunned me as to how she has declined. This is her 6th day in and she is detoxing rather heavily I heard. She has great support, so that's a good thing.
Wow! She used to be really pretty!
OH WOW…SHE USED TO HAVE A TOOTH?!?
Wait what???!!! What path was Heath on, Janis Whinehouse is a nut who needs to stop talking and do somethin about her daughter. Actions speak louder than words!!!!
Elien: "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"
Yeah, eat up the publicity lies. Ledger was a known heroin abuser. You really think he didn't suicide? Then you're really, really dumb. At least Wino doesn't hide who she is.
That stupid bitch needs to shut her mouth about Heath. Show some fucking respect you hag!
heath ledger should NOT be categorized with amy the crack head and britney
she was so pretty!
I don't think it was right for her to comment about Heath Ledger, they don't know what it was for sure and as for her following Britneys path, I think they just might be even just Amy's isn't as much in the the open
Re: Zack – two albums do not make you a legend… she still has a LONG way to go to be a Legend
Re: fam – oh really??? You know that he use heroine??? really?? Thats funny because no one else did. How about you take your own advice and don't believe the lies. The only one who knows what Heath did was Heath, don't listen to all these people trying to make news stories. There were no illegal drugs
Re: HEATH LEDER WAS A COKEWHORE LIKE AMY – I roll my 20 dollar bills(not joking). I do it when I am nervous or even bored, and I don't do drugs. What you said is just retarded and not even logical, go back to grade school. He had a lot of anxiety, could have been a nevous or anxious activity
Re: Naive people – My god you are so fucking dumb! How do you know he did illegal drugs??? And how do you know that he ever did it enough to damage his body that much even if he did??? Guess what, you and everyone else in here do not have any clue. You all are also dumb enough to not realize that legal drugs, even when used legally can kill you. One that I take can lead to an uncureable lymphatic cancer. Another gave me heart palpatations. And he even could have mixed drugs without a doctor warning him(which they should if they're going to fucking prescribe them), which does happen and that is sad. So the fact is that no one knows why he died, and you know what? who knows if the autopsy will even be able to tell. So stop fucking speculating because there can be a lot of causes, and you do not know what the real cause was, so stop talking like you know what he was fucking doing, because you don't.
she is still no catch.. but, her eye make-up doesn't look soo fucked up, and she atleast looks healthy.
EXCUSE ME….HEATH LEDGER WAS A TRAGEDY. AN ACCIDENTAL TRAGEDY. Winehouse deserves to be dead. With all these messes like her and britney, they deserve to be dead. Heath was gifted, talented…but overworked. How dare you compare these fuckups, intentional fuckups to a living legend who was talented way beyond their imagination. They use illegal drugs to excess and we are surprised they wake up and get to live another day. Heath's death was an accident. We are angry that someone like him passes so unsensibly while these fuckups get to live.
I feel so sorry for Amy's mum. It must be so hard for her to see her daughter, that she has spent a good portion of her life cherishing and raising, throw her life away, and for it to be in the public eye. I wish Amy realised how much her actions are hurting the people who love her.
What a bitch, no one knows if Heath overdosed on illegal drugs, or accidentally overdosed on percription drugs. How dare she compare him to Britney.
Re: Lauren –
Amy Winehouse has as much talent MUSICALLY, as Ledger did as an actor. He should be honored to be mentioned along with her, and was probably a fan. Spears..please. Another thing altogether.
Re: Typhoid D – trudat that women doesnt know and it was so fuckin wrong for her to even compare them
Re: lasdlfkfjlk – you're an idiot!! What you're perfect?? point the finger at the image you see in the mirror.
Re: Juice – I'd love to see a picture of you, Re: Juice – please post a photo of yourself so we too can be the judges and pick your shit apart, I'm sure she was once a normal gal then got into the biz and some idiot like you shredded her and she tried to fill that void with drugs, its sad but true. if we werent so damn cruel as a society maybe people would just do better and feel more confident about who they are and what they have to offer. get a life and a mirror!! 1st, 2nd or 3rd who gives a fuck!!! you're always going to be last with this BS attitude of yours.
#189 - Take your own advice says – reply to this
Re: fam – oh really??? You know that he use heroine??? really?? Thats funny because no one else did. How about you take your own advice and don't believe the lies. The only one who knows what Heath did was Heath, don't listen to all these people trying to make news stories. There were no illegal drugs
YES IT IS WELL KNOWN IN THE INDUSTRY THAT HEATH LEDGER USED HEROIN. I didn't say he died because of it, dumbass. But I do believe he suicided. You don't just take a whole load of legal drugs accidentally and die. Also, there has been a LOT of BS PR since his death - I'm sure the Batman machine is keen to cash in on his last movie.
Oh, and whether they were legal or not, Heath Ledger still OD'd on drugs. Taking recommended doses and recommended combinations doesn't make you accidentally die. How can you be so naive?
