Amy Winehouse’s family is trying to keep her in the hospital as long as possible, hoping to wean the talented singer off drugs.

Sources say that she could be in the hospital for weeks - and is having withdrawals from crack cocaine and heroin, the dirtiest of drugs.

Amy, 24, was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat after collapsing in her home on Monday.

Dad Mitch, 57, said, “Amy is doing fine. She is staying in as long as possible.” Rumor has it that if Amy tries to check out of the hospital her family will have her admitted to a psychiatric ward.

A family source said, “She’ll be in there for a while if her family get their way. There is a feeling they can have a good crack at sorting her out this time.”

No pun intended, I’m sure.

Amy reportedly has been coughing up blood and was thought to have had Tuberculosis, although tests came back negative. Instead, she has a raging chest infection.

At this point Amy has no plans of pulling out of Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday concert on June 27th and the Glastonbury festival in the UK.

Junkie Amy Winehouse has received the cold, hard truth from doctors at a private London hospital who have warned her to quit her drug habit or face an untimely death.

Amy, who has been at the hospital since Monday, had tests ran after collapsing at her home in Camden. According to reports, doctors ran the tests to see what was ailing her. They came back “inconclusive,” which I don’t believe unless these doctors are complete morons.

Anyhow, the drugs have taken quite a toll on the 24-year-old and apparently doctors have sternly warned her that if she doesn’t get clean soon she will absolutely die young.

A source told The Sun, “She might have escaped this time, but eventually she won’t get up again. The only thing to stop that happening is if she quits drugs.”

I truly hope she cleans herself up but really I think she may be too far gone to turn back. Not that it couldn’t be done, I just don’t think she honestly realizes that she is dying. I mean, doesn’t she look in the mirror sometimes and go, “What the f*ck am I doing to myself?!”

If I was her parent I would be doing anything in my power to get, and keep, her in rehab. Hell, if I had to stay with her and go through it with her I would. If somebody doesn’t step up and really support this kid she’s going to become just another Rock n’ Roll casualty . .

“Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” is coming back for a second season on VH1 and is set to premiere in October.

The show will pretty much be the same with a few minor adjustments.

Jeff Conaway will be back seeking treatment after having back surgeries causing him to become reliant on pain meds. Other quasi-celebs looking to clean-up are Sean Stewart, Amber Smith (model/actress), Rodney King, Nikki McKibbon (American Idol), Steven Adler (Guns n Roses) and Tawny Kitaen.

Gary Busey, who claims to have been clean for the past 13 years will also be a part of the show, offering support and sharing his experiences with addiction. Drug counselor Bob Forrest and resident technician Shelly Sprague will also return to be a part of the show this season.

Patients will undergo an intensive 21-day program. Families of the celebs will be more involved this time around and sometimes will undergo treatment themselves.

“I have to thank Burger King. It was such a disgusting burger I ordered. I had that, and this big soda, and I thought something really bad was going to happen.”

- Robert Downey Jr. says in 2003 he was driving a car filled with “tons of f**king dope” when he stopped at the restaurant. Something about the experience made him throw all of the drugs he had into the Pacific Ocean and decide to clean up his life.

News of the World obtained more drug photos & video of junkie Amy Winehouse, and as usual, they aren’t very pretty.

In the video, [see it HERE] Amy is heard singing to the tune of the children’s song, “Head, shoulders, knees and toes.” Instead, Amy has made up her own words. She sings, “Blacks, Pakis, Gooks and Nips, Gooks and Nips . . and deaf and dumb and blind and gay,” as Blake rolls the video.

At one point foil and heroin are seen in the footage as Blake messes with the camera.

In another shot, Blake films Amy as she sleeps. He says, “This is how you sleep when you haven’t slept for two days.”

Along with the crazy video footage are numerous photos. Photos of Amy’s boobs, her and her homemade crackpipe, Blake and Amy with pills on their tongues, and many other glamorous shots. One photo reportedly is of Amy jerking Blake off with one hand while she chats on the phone on the other! See? Junkies have the best sex lives!

Amy Winehouse continues aging before our very eyes.

Her skin isn’t clearing up, it’s still getting worse. Not only is it broke out in disgusting sores, it’s aging like mad!

Is that the Virgin Mary I see in Amy’s skin? Or is it the state of Illinois? Damn, is bitch shooting up in her face, or what?

Before long, Amy is going to look like she is 50 years old - more than twice her age. Just give it a year or two. If she actually makes it that long.

Amy’s following in the footsteps of these hot junkie bitches!

Tatum O’Neal is claiming that she is relieved that she was caught by police buying cocaine and crack from a guy on the street.

Tatum called the New York Post to proclaim,

The first thing that pops in my head is - that sounds like an addict talking.

Anyhow, she went on, using her dog’s death as an excuse for her attempt at a relapse.

“There’s no excuse for what I did,” Tatum told the Post. “I lost my Scottish terrier, Lena. That seemed to set me off. She got old. She got cancer. She was the fabric of our family. We had to let her go to heaven. My daughter and I had to put her down. It was too horrible for words.

“I couldn’t get out of it. I was going to my psychiatrist. I was doing everything I could do. I have the disease of alcoholism. It’s lifelong. I treat it every day by going to my 12-step program.”

She goes on to explain that the death of her 16 year-old dog brought back memories of losing her mother.

“It triggered that my mother passed away [from addiction] in ‘98. My father [actor Ryan O'Neal] and I are estranged.”

I want to believe Tatum, I really do. But for some reason I don’t. Not that I think she does it all the time anymore - or if she does, she hides it well. That could be the case as there are a lot of ‘functional’ addicts out there. And some are really good at hiding it . . and lying about it.

Regardless, I love Tatum and I hope she has been sober. My gut just tells me otherwise.
