“What kind of “friends” throw a nightclub party for a woman who is clearly dying just a little bit every day.”

Yep, I agree with Shane.
And if these people actually cared about Amy, where do they get off pressuring her and guilt-tripping her into doing something she’s not comfortable with? Who is the party for, anyway? Apparently it was really for them.

So it’s hard to commit someone in Great Britain.
If the record company has big money and a big investment in her, can’t they freaking hire someone and do a private intervention to dry her out? She’s so messed up right now, what would she even do about it? Please, freakin’ take her away someone and lock her up until she detoxes. Who cares if she sues later, no one would prosecute if her life was saved.

I totally agree with Shane. What I don’t get is her mother was crying because she didn’t show? Why isn’t her mother by her side trying to help her instead of making a show of herself at the party? Foolishness.

@ Kate – supposedly it’s pretty hard to get someone sectioned in the UK…although it doesn’t sound like her Dad Mitch is trying too hard, in every news item I hear about him, he’s downplaying her drug use. Her PR department is useless, blaming ‘dehydration’ and ‘exhaustion’ for her hospitalizations over the past few months. I don’t understand why it isn’t as simple as the baker act like we have here…I mean, that doesn’t dignify a ‘handler’ or ‘conservator’ but it at least holds the patient for three days to sort out what to do with them next. It’s really too bad, because Amy used to be good. Now she’s a slip of a girl that looks nothing like her former self.

It is my understanding that anyone in the public eye, no matter how healthy, has a partially written obit by the media. B/c they want to get them up online asap if there were an accident. They wouldn’t have time to research everything so they keep them on file for everyone. It sounds grim but with the speed of the news cycle it’s necessary. So having an obit for Amy isn’t really meaningful, they have them for George Bush or Julia Roberts or anyone else…

This could be a revelation for Amy, or it could be the beginning of the end. I hope she summons her inner strength and starts making productive life choices, instead of acquiescing to a slow-burn suicide.

AGREE SHANE AND LAURIE….. The news media has already stated that they have her Obituary started, and are just waiting to finish the ” death date “…Amy’s fingernails look dirty and yellow, and her arm’s are pretty scarey looking, not to mention her skin and hair…I would have had a hard time knowing who THAT was….I agree with whoever said she may have thought her party WAS an intervention!!!….Pity it was NOT one after all…If her so-called friends really want to help her, they should have done the intervention WHEREEVER SHE WAS.,…With or without Amy’s temper or sarcasism towards everyone…It may just save her life, if it is not too late already…No wonder her mother cries alot. I would also if a child of mine looked like Amy. The difference would be, is that I know without a doubt, I would have already done something major to try and save my child. With or without people to help me!

OrangeJulius: Sadly, even Keith looks better than this poor train wreck.

No question…if someone doesn’t intervene, and FAST, she’ll be dead soon. So sad; such a waste.

For God’s sake, what kind of animals would hold a party for someone who’s clearly dying on their feet? There’s truly nothing to celebrate here.
If you took everyone out of the room who stood to gain something from this, would there be anyone left? Even among her family? The only things Amy should be hearing about are recovery, rehab, harm reduction.

i agree, this woman does not need a party in a nightclub. she needs to be in a hospital getting help. anyone know what the laws are in england regarding involuntary commitment? if at all possible her family should step in, take control and get her committed. she may hate them for it, but at least she’ll be alive.
