If you haven't already added Amy Winehouse to your office death pool, do so now
England's The Sun has a video on their site of Amy Winehouse smoking crack. It was only a matter of time until there was more than just circumstantial evidence.
On the video, Amy admits to taking six valium and then is seen clearly smoking a pipe. The Sun also claims that Amy takes a giant snort of cocaine and powdered ecstasy, all mere hours before she is to support her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, who is on trial for witness tampering. If you look at the pictures of her later that day at the courthouse, it's evident something is not right with the girl.
Amy Winehouse is such a huge talent, and although that doesn't make one's life any more worthy than another's, it sure would be a big damn shame if she threw her tremendous abilities away.
Wait - scratch that. I get that it's a disease, but you know what? I'm done feeling sorry for people like Amy Winehouse. I'm sick of hearing about how these poor young stars get famous too fast and don't know how to handle it. It's not even about the fame and fortune - they have an actual talent that they love and that they can make a life out of. Anyone who doesn't recognize how lucky they are in that respect, and proceeds to throw it away on drugs, doesn't deserve my sympathy.
I'm saving my sympathy for people like Gary Coleman, who never had any talent to lose in the first place.

Did you just make fun of GARY COLEMAN? Now that IS reaching into the D-list celebrity grab bag. Talk about kicking a guy when he is down (is he down? Or is he, in fact, standing? The guy is so dang short it's impossible to tell).*
*Hopefully I'll get bonus points for resisting the nearly irresistible impulse to make a 'whatchoo talkin' 'bout Heather' comment...
