Video of Amy Winehouse using drugs turned over to police

It’s unfortunately true that Amy Winehouse didn’t go to rehab. Okay you can sing the song this time. But I’m getting really tired of it. It’s impossible not to hear it in my head every time I write about her. Anyway Amy did in fact go to a rehab clinic, but it was just for her weekly appointment. Which really bummed me out, because it would be nice if she stopped the snorting and injecting and such. But that’s just me, and I’m incredibly old fashioned that way. But Amy may get a forced visit to rehab – or jail. The Sun has turned over their 19 minute long video of Amy partaking in a myriad of drugs to the police – at their request.

Amy Winehouse is facing a police probe following the emergence of a shocking video that showed the star apparently smoking crack cocaine.

Police are examining the tape, after the tearful singer resurfaced yesterday to visit a rehab clinic.

The visit comes as the Metropolitan Police confirmed it would investigate the claims that she was smoking crack cocaine, taking other drugs such as Ecstasy and cocaine, and admitting downing six Valium on video.

A copy of the film was handed over at the request of the Metropolitan Police. The film was passed to Tower Hamlets detectives who are now analyzing it.

I have absolutely no experience with drug addicts – so maybe this is common – but I’m shocked at how impossible it is to get this woman into rehab. I know a person has to hit the bottom of the barrel… but shouldn’t Amy be there by now? The Daily Mail goes on to report that Amy’s US travel visa is in serious jeopardy now. To be fair, it was already up in the air, but now that there’s such obvious evidence of recent drug use, there’s a good chance she won’t be approved, and thus won’t get to perform at the Grammys. You’d think that’d send the message to her, right? I’m sure it won’t. The U.K.’s Britney Spears will just keep going, until there’s nothing left to snort.
