Just when you thought it might be safe to turn on your TV, word on the street is that VH1 has yet another celebreality show in the works - and this time it’s “Celebrity Rehab”! While VH1 tries to keep a tight lid on most of the plans, Scott Acord, a spokesman for the network did reveal that former “American Idol” reject Jessica Sierra will be among those who will appear.

Sierra was at a court hearing last Wednesday where she faced charges of cocaine possession and felony battery stemming from an arrest in April at Hyde Park Cafe in Tampa, Florida, where a patron at the bar said Sierra threw a glass at him, leaving a 3/4 -inch gash over his right eyebrow. According to her attorney, the singer’s prosecution was postponed while she attempts to seek treatment at an undisclosed rehab facility in California.

While VH1 hasn’t confirmed the list of reality rehabbers, rumors speculate that we could see the likes of Andy Dick, Tom Sizemore and even former female pro-wrestler Chyna on the ticket.

No word yet on an air date, but stay tuned - this is bound to get uglier.

Those wacky Scientologists are so funny. One of their mouthpieces, Kelly Preston, is telling Starpulse that she knew she’d marry John Travolta after she saw a picture of him on a “Grease” poster. She didn’t exactly end up with Travolta right away – she was engaged to Charlie Sheen but broke up with him after he accidentally shot her in the arm, and was married to actor Kevin Gage from 1986 – 1988.

“Actress Kelly Preston knew she was destined to marry John Travolta after she saw her future husband on a poster for Grease as a teenage girl. The 44-year-old Twins star, who has been married to Travolta for 16 years, was leaving a cinema in the late 1970s when she was struck by the actor’s poster look.

“She says, ‘I did have sort of a flash. I came out of a film, saw the poster for Grease and I knew I’d be with him. I just knew. I was about 16 years old. I really knew it and it turned into, ‘I’m going to marry that man,’ and so he likes to tease me that I walked out and said, ‘I’m going to marry that man,’ and then did, ultimately.’”

[From Starpulse]

Talk about the power of positive thought. I had a dream last night that I fell in love with Luke Wilson, and it was kind of flash-like, so I’m pretty sure I’m going to marry him now, based on the Kelly Preston theory of love. Travolta has recently stated that he and Kelly are going to try to have another child when they’re done filming their movie.

John Travolta and Kelly Preston are planning to extend their family - before it’s too late.

The couple are currently working on new movie Old Dogs, which they both star in. When that’s wrapped the pair will start trying for a sibling for son Jett, 15, and eight year old daughter Ella.

Travolta, 53, says, “Once we finish our new movie, we’re going to get cracking. Kelly is 44 now. The window for us to have a child, at least naturally, is closing.”

[From China Daily]

I hope he meant to say another child, not a child, since they already have two – though by most accounts, they mostly ignore their oldest child, Jett, who has autism. Apparently Scientology and autism don’t mix – our original article noted, “Autistics in Scientology are usually known as ‘degraded beings’ who brought the affliction on themselves. Kelly Preston has gone as far as saying in the past that Jett suffers from Kawasaki Syndrome like disease because of ‘environmental toxins’, with Jett reacting badly specifically to carpet cleaning chemicals.” But apparently Preston is an expert on how to treat other disorders – specifically addiction. She has opened a Scientology-based rehab facility in her native Hawaii.

“John Travolta’s wife Kelly Preston has opened a new Scientology rehab center on her native Hawaii. The new drug rehabilitation clinic, which follows the principals of Preston’s religion, will use tried and tested alternative methods to ween addicts off painkillers and hard drugs.

“Preston, who was born on and brought up in Honolulu, Oahu, says, ‘I’m convinced this rehab center works.’”

[From Starpulse]

Well thank goodness we have Kelly Preston around to teach us all how to live better by denying out basic psychological makeup.

Just when you thought Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston were getting along… or at least smoking pot together, which for them is getting along – turns out their custody fight is heating up. And how could it not, in the world of celebrities? I have yet to hear of anyone with a sane divorce when it involves kids. Scratch that, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis have been very cool to each other. But everyone else has been spitting mad and vengeful. Maybe this is de rigeur for a Hollywood divorce. Bobby Brown is claiming that since Whitney Houston has become daughter Bobbi Kristina’s sole support, she’s tried to cut Brown completely out of Bobbi’s life. He’s also claiming that he’s supported Whitney and Bobbi, even though by most printed accounts of court records, he has few assets.

“In newly released legal papers that were filed last month, Brown, 38, claims, ‘Since Whitney has been awarded sole legal and physical custody of Bobbi Kris, she has attempted to eliminate me from Bobbi Kris’ life.

“The former New Edition singer also states, ‘I did all I could to see my daughter … I also paid approximately $10,000 for Whitney and Bobbi Kris to live in a nice hotel while Whitney was going through rehab … I basically lived out of my car.’”

[From People]

That doesn’t exactly make a lot of sense. The last time Whitney was in rehab in March of 2005, the couple were still together. And if nothing else, they had homes. Why would Bobby be living in his car? I mean he’s an unusual guy, maybe he did it voluntarily or to martyr himself, but I can’t even guess why there’d be a logical reason for him to do so.

“Pointing an accusing finger at Houston, 44, Brown also says, ‘I have not seen or spoken to my daughter since early June and I have no prospect of speaking to her or seeing her anytime soon due to Whitney’s actions.’ In her declaration to the court, Houston claims that Brown has been ‘almost totally uninvolved in taking care of [Bobbi Kristina],’ and that she believes ‘Bobby is going to try to get child or spousal support from me … Bobby is fully capable of working and earning substantial sums of money if he would control her personal behavior.’

‘We have a daughter together and I would like him to be involved in her life,’ Houston says. ‘Frankly, I needed to be divorced from him so that I could get my life back on track.’ In May, Brown sued Houston for spousal support, child support and shared shared [sic] custody. Despite their legal problems, the couple were seen together earlier this month at Joe’s Crab Shack in Alpharetta, Ga., having dinner and even posing for pictures with fans, though Houston’s rep said the two were not about to reconcile.

[From People]

From the outside, it at least seems like Whitney’s make an attempt to clean up her life and get things back on track. I’m not saying she’s a model of health or wellness, but she seems like she’s got a better head on her shoulders, especially when she’s got her addictions under control. Bobby seems off his rocker to some extent no matter what. On his best day he’s referring to himself in the third person and hanging out with Karrine “Superhead” Steffans. Not exactly what you want your impressionable teenage daughter around. I think Bobby probably does want to see his daughter, but isn’t capable of understanding that he needs to behave in a more safe and rational manner to do so. He probably also wants a chunk of Whitney’s money and he could get that if he had joint custody of Bobbi Kristina. Ultimately, if he wants his situation to change, it’d probably serve him better to work on himself and his own issues for a bit and then come back to court.

Lindsay Lohan’s dad Michael, who conveniently found God during the two years he was incarcerated for multiple charges including assault and DUI, wrote Lindsay several public letters urging her to turn her life over to the Lord. Once he got out, he never hesitated to talk smack about her and her mother, telling the press that she was addicted to Oxycontin, that she got started drinking and drugging at an early age, and that her mother Dina even took cocaine when she was pregnant with Lindsay, a charge she denies.

After not seeing his daughter for three years Michael is finally going to get the chance he doesn’t seem to deserve and will be visiting her this week at the country club rehab where she’s staying in Utah. This was said to be Lindsay’s older brother’s idea, and Lindsay’s mom agreed. She had the restraining order against Michael lifted so he could visit his daughter. Lindsay’s dad won’t get any alone time with her, though. She will be accompanied by a counselor at all times. Maybe they’re afraid he’ll slip her some drugs in a hollow bible:

Lindsay Lohan and her mother, Dina, have decided to allow Michael Lohan to visit his eldest daughter at her Utah rehab. “It was actually her older brother, Michael’s, idea. It’s a part of the healing process,” a friend said. “Lindsay will see him later this week, but she will have counselors with her. It will not be alone.” Michael - whose divorce from Dina is likely to be finalized soon, now that they’ve resolved most issues between them, including custody - hasn’t seen Lindsay in years due to his abusive temper and violent behavior. In order for him to be allowed to visit, Dina - who has a restraining order out against Michael - had to get it lifted. “Dina thinks it is a good idea,” the friend said. “Lindsay needs to deal with this and needs closure.” Michael has said he’s been sober and found God since leaving jail earlier this summer. A rep for the Lohans said, “Yes, he will be seeing his daughter.”

[From Page Six]

And, just like Lindsay’s other parent, Michael is rumored to be getting his own reality show.

Lindsay Lohan’s nightmares might be coming true. That is, the nightmare about her chatty father Michael getting his own reality show. Michael originally pitched the scenario of a “Lohan Family” series but naturally his exwife Dina and kids vetoed THAT idea. But Michael didn’t give up - he had reality cameras follow him through his divorce court battle with Dina and he’s got some entertaining footage. Insiders say that ex-jailbird Michael is an interesting enough character to have a show without the other Lohans. (Although he’s likely to drag them into it, somehow.) The show’s being shopped around as you read this.

[Janet Charlton’s Hollywood]

Dina’s show “Momager” is already a go and will air on the E! Network in 2008. Since Michael is still shopping his around maybe it won’t get picked up and we’ll be spared that piece of pop culture trash.

I bet that the only reason that Dina agreed to let Michael visit Lindsay was so that she could get some good footage for her reality show. There will probably be two sets of cameras there, one for Michael’s planned show and another for Dina’s in the works. Lohan will talk in her 60 year-old voice about how great she’s doing in rehab and it will be the highlight of both shitty reality shows, hyped to death in the commercials for each and shown in the last episode to great disappointment. People will be asking themselves “Why did I watch the whole thing? Is that it?”

Maybe that’s why LohitneyParis continue to top themselves daily. They know we want drama, dammit, and they’re willing to sacrifice themselves for our entertainment. Their families are also assumed to be worthy by extension, but that remains to be seen.

Thanks to user the_bat1 on ONTD for these pics of Michael Lohan in a see-through shirt.

The last time Lohan was in a country club rehab, one of three she’s been in this year, she was said to have been caught by staff mixing whippets with cold medicine. The contraband was slipped into Promises by an out patient. She was also said to have skipped AA meetings and group therapy.

Now that she’s in Cirque Lodge near the Sundance resort in Utah following her latest DUI, her level of commitment to recovery is just about the same - nil. She was supposedly spotted out buying beer, and she’s said to have been accused by staff at the facility of doing drugs. What’s more is that she snuck out with some random male patient there and doesn’t want to do her required chores. It’s all just typical Lindsay.

Since checking into Cirque Lodge earlier this month, Lindsay has acted like a diva who doesn’t think rules apply to her. “Lindsay got called into the director’s office on Aug. 15 and was questioned about drugs,” says the source. “When ordered to take a drug test, she reluctantly complied but screamed and cursed at the medical director before storming out [sic] the room. She was told that if she couldn’t conform to the program she’d have to leave.”

Although her reps deny the story, sources say Lindsay has broken other rules, including leaving the grounds unsupervised. “On her second night, Lindsay snuck out with an older guy she met at a meeting,” says another source.

“That’s a no-no, and Lindsay knows it.” The actress isn’t working very hard on her recovery either, sources reveal. “She shows up at meetings late and sits there writing in a journal,” says the source. “Recently, she’s been skipping meetings altogether.”

Not only did Lindsay sneak in a prohibited cell phone, she’s also been demanding star treatment since she arrived, sources say. The luxury rehab, which costs about $30,000 a month, expects patients to work as well as attend group counseling sessions and one-on-one meetings with doctors, psychiatrists and other medical professionals. When told what her daily schedule would be, she said in a sarchastic voice: “F-ck that! I don’t think so.” One source says, “All the residents help out with course, but Lindsay doesn’t lift a finger.” Lindsay also refuses to eat and throws plates in the garbage when the chef won’t make what she wants, sources added.

[From Star Magazine, print edition, September 3, 2007]

As if all that wasn’t enough, ever-reliable News of the World is claiming that Lindsay was busted having sex with another patient - a guy - in a bathroom at rehab. She came out with JBF hair and all red-faced after they were heard making grunting noises in the loo.

None of this is surprising. She is even staging photo-ops from rehab, and gave OK! an exclusive of her sitting there all demure-looking reading an AA book.

Lohan copped a plea for her second DUI, a cross-city chase in which she carjacked the SUV of a guy she met that night, took two passengers hostage and ran over another guy’s foot. She will serve just one day in jail after all that. She claimed in an all-too-perfect statement that she’s an addict and takes responsibility for her actions, that’s she’s ashamed and hopes to change. If it was written with a lot of typos and rambling references to political figures and celebrities, I would have believed the statement was from her. As it is, she’s showing just how willing she is to change by continuing to behave like a diva in rehab. At least she’s still alive and hasn’t killed anyone yet.

Boy the justice system sure is tough on drug/alcohol abusing celebrities lately. It’s been rumored that Lindsay Lohan could get off easily, since she wasn’t going to be charged with any felonies. Most sources were saying a minimum of 4 days, but it turns out to be even better – just 1. The rageaholic, self-centered actress will have to put in an additional 10 days of community service. Pretty sweet deal for borrowing a car and chasing someone down in the middle of the night while intoxicated. Lohan was original ordered to spend 96 hours in jail, which was reduced to 48. She was then given credit for time served when she was arrested, which somehow brought her down to one day in jail. Something tells me one day won’t get through to her like she needs.

“Lohan reached a plea deal on Thursday and will spend one day behind bars, plus 10 days of community service and must complete a drug treatment program, Access Hollywood has learned. As part of the plea deal, Lohan reportedly pleaded no contest to two charges of DUI, and two charges of being under the influence of a controlled substance (on two separate occasions) and reckless driving.

“Lohan was charged earlier in the day with seven misdemeanors stemming from two drunken-driving arrests in the last four months. More serious felony drug charges were not filed, prosecutors said, because tests showed there wasn’t enough cocaine on her to warrant them. A rep for Lindsay released the following statement to Access Hollywood on behalf of Lohan:

‘”It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs. Recently, I relapsed and did things for which I am ashamed. I broke the law, and today I took responsibility by pleading guilty to the charges in my case. No matter what I said when I was under the influence on the day I was arrested, I am not blaming anyone else for my conduct other than myself. I thank God I did not injure others. I easily could have. I very much want to be healthy and gain control of my life and career and have asked for medical help in doing so. I am taking these steps to improve my life. Luckily, I am not alone in my daily struggle and I know that people like me have succeeded. Maybe with time it will become easier. I hope so.’”

[From Yahoo News]

I hope whatever PR lackey wrote the copy of her remorseful statement gets a raise. That’s all really creative. Um, could you try saying something new? How many times has everyone heard that Lindsay is sorry and knows what she did was wrong? She’s not sorry, and maybe knows it’s wrong but doesn’t give a rip. Remember how before all this, Lohan kept getting into car accident after car accident? It seemed to average at about 4 or 5 a year, and she always blamed the paparazzi. Now that we have it on record that she likes to incorporate some time behind the wheel into her boozing expeditions, it really makes you wonder just how much the paparazzi really had to do with all those accidents. Yeah they’re annoying and have flashing lights and crowd around you, but I’m guessing that’s a lot harder to deal with when you’re completely plastered.

So in news that isn’t exactly all that shocking, Amy Winehouse has officially canceled all of her North American tour. Rumblings have been going on for quite a while, and to be fair we all assumed she would, just because she’s that way. And she has. Even before the whole rehab in-and-out debacle, it was pretty much assumed she’d cancel her shows because she was so drunk all the time that bookies were actually placing odds on her showing up. Of course her PR people are vague – is she canceling because she’ll be in rehab, or canceling because she’ll be too plastered? At last check, Amy was out on the lose again, but that could change at any moment. I feel like we need some type of Amy Winehouse alert system here.

“‘Due to the rigors involved in touring, Amy Winehouse has been advised to postpone her upcoming September U.S. and Canadian tour dates,’ the British singer’s publicist, Tracy Miller, said in a statement Tuesday.

“‘Amy’s European and U.K. tour dates in October and November remain in place. Plans are being made to reschedule her U.S. tour for early 2008. Until then, Amy has been ordered to rest and is working with medical professionals to address her health.’

Last week, it was announced that the 23-year-old was canceling all her August performances due to ‘severe exhaustion.’ While British tabloids have claimed the retro-soul singer has been in rehab due to drug abuse, her spokeswoman has denied such claims.”

You know what can improve your health when you have a drinking problem? Going to rehab and staying there. Divorcing your loser, enabling, drug mule husband. That’s obviously pretty easy to say from the outside looking in. We’ve all gone through hard times, and sometimes it’s rather embarrassing to look back on them. It’s going to be rather mortifying when Amy looks back on this someday. Though at this point I’m really just hoping she gets to “someday.”

Picture note by JayBird: Thanks to Splash for the pic, from Amy’s first escape on August 16th.

There’s stars you hope get a second chance, and stars you hope get locked away forever, and for most people, Lindsay Lohan is the latter. The self-centered actress might actually get off without being charged for possessing cocaine. Apparently that whole, “I was holding it for a friend” and “these aren’t even my pants, I don’t know whose pants they are!” lines actually worked. Somehow that’s created enough uncertainty that the district attorney is considering dropping those charges. Yeah that doesn’t make sense to me either. It’s not like the DUI cases hinge on the cocaine, so if it doesn’t stick, what have they lost? Apparently this is a huge boon to Lindsay. Having three charges would pretty much guarantee she’d spend some time in prison if found guilty. Having two supposedly would mean several days in jail instead.

“The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office is disinclined to charge Lindsay Lohan with three drug-related felonies, a decision that could spare the troubled actress from a prison sentence, celebrity news outlet TMZ.com reported on Tuesday. The charges are connected with Lohan’s two recent arrests for drunken driving, first in May when she crashed her car on Beverly Hills, and then in July when she was involved in a late-night car chase in Santa Monica.

“TMZ, citing unidentified law enforcement sources, said the 21-year-old actress would likely face misdemeanor drunk-driving charges for both incidents. If found guilty of both, she would serve a minimum of four days in jail, TMZ.com said. Legal experts have said Lohan could face up to three years behind bars if confronted with the full weight of the law.

“Asked about the TMZ.com report, district attorney spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said the office has not yet received the Santa Monica case and the Beverly Hills case remains under review. ‘A public discussion of potential charges prior to a case being filed would be inappropriate and potentially unethical,’ she said.”

[From the Washington Post]

I can think of few things that would make me happier than Lindsay Lohan being faced with the “full weight of the law.” Well aside from being faced with the “full weight” of a steamroller. That girl should just not get any more chances. It’s one thing when you mess up your own life (not that it’s great, I’m just saying), but when you recklessly chase people down the highway because something makes you mad, that’s unacceptable. I’m hoping this is all bull, or exposing it creates such an outrage that they decide to charge Lohan with everything they possibly can. She really needs to learn a lesson, and learn that following her whims isn’t the most important thing in the world. She also has some serious rage issues that need to be dealt with. Ahh, if only I had my steamroller.

Amy Winehouse’s issues-on-top-of-issues continued this weekend, as she and husband Blake Fielder-Civil left rehab for the second time. No, not on a rehab facility sponsored country outing to go look at some sheep or whatever it is they do in the English countryside. Nor is she leaving to “pick up a guitar” (because I’m sure no one could have done that for her, right?) and stop at a few pubs (I’m pretty sure rehab facilities encourage you to go to pubs and get plastered in the first week of treatment). Amy hasn’t made any excuses – yet. The couple appears to have left the Causeway clinic in Essex after a series of fights.

“Brit singer Amy Winehouse has walked out of rehab for the second time, after a string of rows with hubby Blake Fielder-Civil. The ‘Rehab’ star quit The Causeway clinic in Essex on August 19, just a day after she returned to the facility. Winehouse and her hubby had said that they left for London to fetch a guitar.

“The couple’s constant fights were spoiling the centre’s ambience and a source said that though Winehouse would be welcomed back, Fielder-Civil might not get a similar reception. The source added that everyone is worried that the two will get back to their druggy habits.

“‘It is supposed to be a peaceful backdrop to help people deal with their problems. But Amy and Blake kept rowing and spoiling the ambience,’ the Sun quoted the source, as saying. ‘While Amy would be welcomed back with open arms, I’m not sure they’d say the same for Blake. ‘

“‘Everyone is really worried that if they are let loose in London again they’ll just go straight back to their old druggy habits. ‘”

[From Daily India]

It appears that Blake is making things very difficult for everyone around Amy, including staff at the clinic, and at the hospital where she was treated for an overdose. Amy’s mom, Janis, gave a very long interview to the Daily Mail on Saturday. It sounds like she’s given up on Amy to a certain extent, or at least distanced herself emotionally. When the subject of Blake came up, Janis Winehouse responded, “I think it’s a case of the less said the better.” I have yet to figure out what the guy brings to the table. According to Daily India’s article, he’s really upset Amy’s family and general staff that have had to deal with him. I’m really curious to hear what he’s done that aggravates everyone. All they say are generic things that could mean almost anything.

“The source also said that Fielder-Civil’s behaviour shows why the soul star’s family wants her to seek ‘help without him’.

“’He upset people in The Causeway with his behaviour. It was the same when she was in hospital. He really upset the staff and wasn’t very welcome there either,’ the source added.

“’They spent half their time arguing rather than concentrating on the job in hand. Of course it must be stressful being with your partner while trying to sort out something so personal and difficult.’

“’But this just shows why the family are so desperate for her to get help without him.’

“Winehouse and her hubby checked into rehab after a massive showdown involving the couple’s families. “

[From Daily India]

I don’t know much about rehab, but I’ve never heard of someone doing it with their partner. I imagine that article has it spot on – it’s a very personal process. I would think that bringing the drama and complications of a relationship so directly into rehab would make an already difficult process nearly impossible. I’m sure people’s relationships are at issue no matter what – but going there with your spouse? What if your spouse is really the problem? It seems like a lot of sources are hinting that Blake is there to try to keep Amy from getting better.

Picture note by JayBird: Here’s Amy at a Camden magazine shop this past weekend. According to Splash, “Astonished onlookers witnessed the troubled singer whip a magazine off a shop shelf in Camden, North London, and leave, apparently without paying. After paying for a few items, the Back to Black star furtively glanced over her shoulder before grabbing a copy of the New Musical Express from the shelf and leaving.” Image thanks to Splash Photos.

Talented self-destructive singer Amy Winehouse was out of rehab yesterday after just 48 hours in an Essex facility in with her bad-news husband, Blake Fielder-Civil. Everyone was saying that she couldn’t hack sobriety and wasn’t ready to conquer her demons, but her husband claimed in an interview that they left rehab just to go get a guitar despite the fact that they were spotted in their local pub soon afterwards. In an interview with Britain’s Radio One, Blake said that everything was blown out of proportion and that Amy is committed to finishing rehab. He also said that the papers made up quotes from his mother about the drugs that Amy was taking at the time of her overdose:

“We only came back to get a guitar, but of course in the paper that’s interpreted as we’re both so weak we left after three days. It’s the inevitable way the papers are trying to put you down when you’re trying to do something positive.

“The main thing is that me and Amy are getting better. Don’t worry, she’s being looked after. We’re going back to this retreat. She’s determined to get well.

“It’s not as bad as everyone thinks but she’s fine, she’s loved and looked after.”

Asked about reports of the couple’s drug addictions, Fielder-Civil said: “I wouldn’t believe it. There’s a few problems there but certainly nothing of the magnitude that my mum was falsely quoted as saying.”

His mother Georgette was reported as saying that Winehouse confessed to heroin and cocaine addiction and told her: “It’s silly, but you just get carried away.”

[From Ireland Online]

Winehouse is also quoted as saying she’s fine and that she’s gained “half a stone,” which is 7 pounds. Maybe that’s why she’s clutching a pair of new pants in the header photo, although her jeans are still falling off her hips to reveal most of her underwear.

Amy and her enabler husband popped into their local pub right after they got back to Amy’s Camden home, but were only there for 40 minutes according to reports. If she was downing shot after shot in that time period it would have been reported, so maybe she figures a coupla pints aren’t going to do much damage considering what she’s normally up to. Still, there’s always the bathroom for a quick fix.

Blake told The Mirror that Amy’s collapse wasn’t his fault and that he loves her and just wants to protect her. “I just want everyone to know that I love her so so much. She’s so precious to me, she’s my wife and I want to take care of her, that’s why I’m taking her back to rehab. We only came back to London to get a guitar and then we’re going straight back. It’s not because we were too weak to stay.”

The guy sounds charming, even if he does look like one of Pete Doherty’s best mates.

Amy was alternately said to be out of rehab for a brain scan that was ordered by doctors following her drug overdose last week, during which she suffered from seizures. There were no sightings of Amy at the hospital getting the scan, though, and the source for that story is The Sun so I would bet it’s pure speculation.

Amy was photographed out at a local convenience store buying some items and then stealing a NME magazine! Here’s the photo description for these pictures from yesterday, thanks to Splash News:

Is this the moment when Amy Winehouse finally loses the plot? Astonished onlookers witnessed the troubled singer whip a magazine off a shop shelf in Camden, North London, and leave, apparently without paying. After paying for a few items, the Back to Black star furtively glanced over her shoulder before grabbing a copy of the New Musical Express from the shelf and leaving.

Thankfully Amy and her pilfered magazine are now back in that Essex rehab, The Causeway clinic, and despite her protestations before checking into rehab that she’d be back to work this week all of her tour dates this month have been canceled.
