Amy Winehouse checked out of the London Clinic today and actually looked a good deal better. She either put on some weight or is bloating, but it still looks healthier than her usually gaunt face. Amy was being treated for a chest infection at the clinic, though there were rumors she was also there to rehab. Either way, she looks a bit better than usual.
THE AMY WINEHOUSE look is sure to be one of the most popular Halloween outfits this year.
Hardly surprising. The singer’s spooky appearance, combined with her twilight jaunts, have seen her take a starring role in A Nightmare On Camden High Street.So when I clocked this picture of Amy leaving hospital yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised.
The singer has been in the London Clinic for the past week being treated for a lung condition – and the stint seems to have been a great tonic.
She looks better than she has done for a long time, if a little bit podgier around the face.
I’ll raise my glass to Amy getting better.

In other Amy drug news, the couple that sold Amy her many vices has pleaded guilty today. They’re also the same pair that filmed her smoking crack and sent it to The Sun.
Amy Winehouse is back home after a brief hospital stint and “doing fine.” The same can’t be said for her dealers.
A British couple pleaded guilty Friday to supplying drugs to a slew of celebrities, most notably Winehouse, and then selling a video of the Grammy-winning singer smoking crack to a U.K. tabloid. Johnny Blagrove, 34, and Cara Burton, 22, confessed to supplying cocaine and Ecstasy to the 25-year-old Grammy winner and then secretly filming her getting high and selling the footage to The Sun. The newspaper published images of the “Rehab” star’s binge in January.
The video sparked a police raid on the pair’s east London home. There, investigators turned up a purported “hit list” of stars, including the troubled R&B belter, for whom they regularly furnished the illicit substances.
As for Winehouse, her rep Tracey Miller told E! News Friday that the singer is now home from a London hospital, where she was being treated since last weekend for a chest infection.
“All has been completed and she is fine,” said Miller.
[From E! News]
Amy was never charged in any crimes related to Blagrove and Burton. I’d love to think that with her dealers in jail Amy stands a better chance of getting better, but clearly she has access to drugs through all sorts of people. The combination of her laying a bit low this last month and looking a bit healthier is cause for hope, nonetheless.
Here’s Amy leaving the London Clinic accompanied by her good friend Blake Wood and her father Mitch yesterday. Images thanks to Bauer-Griffin.

Gotta love Amy! On the day when everyone else dresses up like the undead, Amy rocks up looking relatively healthy and normal. Most definitely an improvement, keeping everything crossed for her!

What is it-Prednisone or some steroid they give you for lung stuff-isn’t that supposed to make you bloated? At least, that’s what a girl I worked with told me. Or was that just an excuse?

I must agree with Vern. I also suffer from chest problems and the doctor prescribed cortisone. In a matter of days you pile on the kg; especially in your face. With her drug habit, there is no way she can be cured in a week.

I third the prednisone. All you have to do, is compare two pictures of Amy, the one from a week ago and the one from yesterday. C’mon, her face doubled in size in 5 days????? She’s going to have to give up those things in which she loves, cigs and booze. The prednisone will kick her bootay with high blood pressure and blood sugar increases, if she’ll continue. That’s IF it is a steroid regimen.
The bump, I’m afraid may be cirrhosis or some sort of liver ailment, she was looking pretty yellow last week.
Love the costume, Amy Winehouse of 2004!

I adore her music and her soulful voice and every time I see an article about her I say a little prayer. We already had one Janis Joplin, this girl is special and needs to see herself as such.

Amy looks really pretty in the face. One of the things she had before was this undeniably feminine appearance, and getting skinnier was just making her look awful all over. I loved her cheeks before, everytime she smiled she had two perfect apples, nice cheekbones, and always nicely flushed too. I think she LOOKS great…one of the brit papers said pudgier around the face….huh? She looks lovely like this, and her skin has cleared up. I hope she can get clean….steroids notwithstanding, and it really could be. It also makes you hungry. Amy you are so pretty when you are fleshier! Stacked, too!
