Combining two posts. First off, you just have to roll your eyes sometimes at how mainstream media handles the obvious. Amy Winehouse is sick ... reports have her going to rehab or leaving rehab ... she has a popular song called "Rehab" ... there's a line she sings "they tried to make me go to rehab and I said no, no, no"
"Ummmm, geeeee, how can I write a story about this?" says the unpaid intern.
This is the winner so far:
Amy's rehab hokey cokey. Amy Declinehouse.... -- The Sun U.K.
Winehouse: They Tried To Make Her Stay In Rehab... -- CBS 2, Canada
Amy Winehouse Calls It Quits - For Rehab -- The Gossip Girls
Rehab? I'm off to the pub -- The Mirror UK
Winehouse and Hubby Check into Rehab! -- Himalayan Times, Nepal, I didn't add the ! That's funny, they checked into rehab! PARTY!!!!!
Amy Winehouse says 'Yes, Yes, Yes' to Rehab -- Dose.ca *rolling eyes*
Amy Winehouse Goes to Rehab. Finally. -- eFluxMedia
They’re playing her song - Rehab -- Boston Herald
Amy in Rehab? Yes, yes, yes -- The Sun (from Tuesday)
Yes, yes: Amy Winehouse and hubby, who wed in Miami, enter rehab -- Miami Herald
Amy Winehouse: They Got Her To Go To Rehab -- CBS2 Canada (from Tuesday)
Amy Goes To Rehab, Yes, Yes, Yes -- RWD Online
Here's what my headline would be: Opps! Amy Winehouse Did It Again! Oh, Shit! Wrong Celeb Cliche.
It was like when Kevin Federline got divorced from Britney Spears, every station says, "Well, K-Fed is now Fed Ex" Nyuk Nyuk ... idiots.
In better news, we've got a boat load of Back to Black CDs to give away to those who come to the day portion of After the Jump. It's the version with all the cursing -- good times. We will not be giving away trips to rehab.
Miss Winehouse is still good to go for her September dates ... for now.

She is fantastic and I love her albums. Sad to see her in the news now though. It’s all about her being a drug addict and what a mess she is becoming. I hope she makes the right choice soon and goes back to drug rehab.
