Amy Winehouse has been diagnosed with emphysema, her father, Mitch has revealed.  Despite this critical news, Amy Winehouse is still smoking.  The photograph above shows Amy leaving a rehab center in London, and yep, she’s still sucking on the cigarettes.

“The doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs it won’t just ruin her voice, it will kill her,” Mitch told UK newspaper the Daily Mail.

Winehouse, 24, was taken to the hospital last week for tests after she fainted at home in London.

“With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes her lungs are all gunked up,” Mitch said. “There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She’s got 70 percent lung capacity.”

If she doesn’t get treatment, she could need an oxygen mask to breathe, Mitch told the Daily Mail.

“She’s only 24 yet she has the lungs of an 80-year-old,” David H. Nielson, a thoracic surgeon in San Antonio says. “She’s going to get fatigued [on stage] and have to rest with supplemental oxygen. It will dramatically effect her career.”

“To have this type of emphysema already will likely shorten her life to about 50 years of age,” says Nielson.

Honestly, I would be shocked if Amy lived to age 50.

When it comes to Amy Winehouse, this ultra huge beehive is the least crazy thing she has done in a while, but it’s still funny.  She must be channeling Marge Simpson these days.  Or maybe her signature beehive serves as a signal to the world - the bigger it gets, the more of a mess Amy is.

No, this isn’t a picture of a modern-day cave woman.  It is the famous ”Rehab” singer, or rather, what is left of her. 

British singer Amy Winehouse has been arrested and is being questioned at a police station in east London about alleged drug use.

“Amy Winehouse voluntarily attended a London police station today by appointment,” her rep said in a statement. “She was arrested in order to be interviewed and is co-operating fully with inquiries. The interview relates to a video handed to police earlier this year.”

Winehouse, 24, is to be questioned about a video obtained by The Sun newspaper in January. Footage shows her allegedly inhaling crack cocaine.

Here is Amy Winehouse, resembling a cave woman more than a Grammy winner. 

Winehouse was drastically dressed down last weekend while enjoying a U.K. holiday with friends – and the pics caused a minor stir with the British papers.

The singer was caught enjoying the long holiday weekend –and the first signs of summer sunshine – with pals, wine and a touch of hair bleach.

Dressed only in a black bra and tiny denim shorts, Winehouse – sans her signature beehive – also revealed a bald patch and her efforts with an at-home hair dye kit on her bangs.

Amy Winehouse’s skin has been looking strange lately.

Says her rep: “Amy has been diagnosed with impetigo which she’s been told can be highly contagious. Because of that se’s been put on antibiotics and may have to stay home alone for the next few days.”

Impetigo is a bacterial skin infection. It causes red sores that can break open, ooze fluid, and develop a yellow-brown crust. These sores can occur anywhere on the body but most often appear around the mouth and nose.  Impetigo is seldom serious, and minor infections may clear on their own in two to three weeks.

Noooooooo!

Just when we thought she was on the road to recovery, Amy Winehouse gets saddled with Britney’s albatross! It’s like that totem from The Brady Bunch. You know, the one that brings bad luck to whoever happens to possess it. Amy, seriously, burn that thing before it permanently attaches itself to your head and starts whispering evil thoughts in your ear — just like it did with Britney.

When news broke about Blake Fieder Civil’s prison overdose, we instantly asked: “How the heck did Amy Winehouse’s husband get heroin in jail????”

Well, it seems like the troubled inmate has been exchanging pictures of Wino for drugs.

How ironic!

In return for the pics - they hand over a “Joey” – slang for a hit of heroin worth a few pounds.

A source said: “Blake has to pay for his gear somehow – and he has no qualms about cashing in on his wife’s fame.”

“He’ll take orders from other inmates then ask Amy to bring in signed photos of herself during visits. He usually gets her to write a little personalized note to make it look authentic. Once he’s back on the wing he’ll swap these for Joeys.

“The boys think they’ll get a few quid for them on eBay. It’s not clear whether she knows exactly what’s going on . . . but she must find it strange that all these so-called prison hardmen have suddenly become starstruck Amy Winehouse fans.”

Bad Blake is currently in the prison hospital recovering from his overdose.

Because he was caught doing drugs in jail, all of his visitation privileges have been cut off, so he won’t be seeing Wino for a while!

Notice the teardrop she penciled in under her eye???

We know Amy Winehouse cleaned up for the Grammy Awards but how’s this for playing by the rules? After Grammy producers expressed concern that U.S. audiences might be offended by Amy’s arm tattoo featuring a bare-breasted pin-up girl, the rehabbing singer gamely used her signature black eyeliner to draw her a strapless bra.

Instead of wearing sleeves — the obvious choice — the saucy sensation added the temporary negligee “so as not to offend any of America’s more puritanical viewers,” an insider says.
