Hot Amy Winehouse Dead

The infamous 27 club has a new member. No surprise if truth be told. Amy Winehouse joins legendary luminaries such as Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix into that exclusive array of talent to shuffle off this mortal coil three years before hitting 30. She led a troubled life. A long-term battle with demon drink and drugs she was never going to win. Another robbing of talent.
Actually this 27 club is a load of nonsense, just pure circumstance. I like what the great Billy Bragg wrote on Facebook “Before people get carried away with all this ’27 Club’ bullshit, it’s worth recognising that it wasn’t being 27 that killed Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse – it was drug abuse, sadly”. Whilst drug abuse is not the official reason for her demise; all roads suggest that’s the exact reason accredited to her downfall.

Actually spoke some sense paying tribute to Amy Winehouse.
I don’t normally agree with the BBC’s on-demand music tribute cretin Paul Gambaccini but he got it

spot on proclaiming ‘we’ve been robbed of 20 years of great records’. Whilst I didn’t care for her music much (that bloody ‘Rehab’ song still grinds my gears to this very day), her talent was unquestionable. One which will never be wholly fulfilled. Just two studios albums in the can although with a five year gap since mega selling ‘Back To Black’ there must be enough material in the can for posthumous releases. There’s always cash aplenty to make out of death. Post-death excess sales of those two albums have already kicked in according to early reports.
I never get this. Why do people suddenly rush out and purchase albums of recently deceased artists? Admittedly I’ve done it once. When Joe Strummer died, I rushed out and bought everything I didn’t already own as I did a tribute DJ set in the pub I had a residency in. This was a rare exception to the rule for me however.
At the end of the day she didn’t help herself. Friends and family tried so desperately hard to get her clean. Sadly not as easy as simply stopping taking the stuff. It would be wrong to judge someone I never knew by being lame and calling her ‘weak’. In any case at this time a drugs overdose is merely a rumour. Her death remains ‘unexplained’. Though early indications suggest an overdose; let the coroner do their work before making judgement.
She does come across as a victim of circumstance. Maybe some good will come out of it as to how

one can completely destroy themselves through substance abuse. We’ve all been here before though. Goes with the territory in the music business. Some survive and some don’t. It’s still an awfully dreadful waste of a young life. A promise never fulfilled. She’ll leave a gaping legacy despite tarring her own brush with her very public antics. Parents have lost a daughter, friends a friend.

I was lucky enough to catch part of a performance at Glastonburya few years ago. She was a bit of a shambles in all honesty but her talent was there for all to see. The Mirror are eating humble pie after slating her last public appearance Wednesday. The media interest surrounding her behaviour didn’t help one jot. Sadly she didn’t seem capable of helping herself. All very tragic. Hopefully as time marches on, she’ll be remembered for her music and not her very public battles with substance abuse and self-harming.
I don’t think she could cope with life in the fast lane. Hand of fate can be cruel but maybe she is better off where she is. She is now at peace. It was pretty obvious she’d be lucky to make 30. Some people cannot be saved. Sadly she was one of them.
Many were quick to lampoon her when alive. I’ll never forget a particularly shambolic appearance on ‘Never Mind The Buzzcocks’. I ended up feeling sorry for her. Evidently the producers plied her full of liquor in order to produce a memorable performance folk would natter about. Sadly that’s the way the industry works at times. No thought or feeling for the actual human being. Sensationalism remains much more important than an individual.

The funeral for British singer, Amy Winehouse, was held in London, England today, as the singer was found dead on Saturday, July 23, 2011, of a suspected drug overdose. Dozens of Winehouse's family and friends, came out to pay their respects and bid her farewell.

Crowds gather outside the funeral

Winehouse's ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, who publicly admitted he introduced the once healthy singer to heroin and crack-cocaine, marking a massive downward spiral in her life and career, was barred from the funeral by her family and denied permission to leave prison to attend the funeral.

No official cause of death has been determined at this time, due to the autopsy being branded "inconclusive." Standard toxicology tests are underway, with the results expected in several weeks. Winehouse leaves behind an estate worth millions and numerous unreleased songs.
Amy Winehouse's family and friends

Her story should serve as a sobering reminder to many of the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse, as Winehouse had so much to live for, but due to not embracing the importance of remaining sober, lost her life. This really is a tragic waste of life, because as accomplished as she was in her chosen profession, there was still so much more she could have done over time, with the talents God gave her. Drug and alcohol abuse brought it to a halt.

Amy Winehouse's Funeral
It is full time the entertainment industry started doing more to keep artists drug free. It is ridiculous the number of entertainers that have overdosed. The National Basketball Association in America has taken a proactive role in educating athletes on the dangers of fame and wealth. It's time the music, film and television industries in Britain and America do the same.

Religion
Alba was raised as a Catholic throughout her teenage years, but left the church after four years because she felt she was being judged for her appearance, explaining: "Older men would hit on me, and my youth pastor said it was because I was wearing provocative clothing, when I wasn't. It just made me feel like if I was in any way desirable to the opposite sex that it was my fault, and it made me ashamed of my body and being a woman".
Alba also had objections to the church's condemnations of premarital sex and homosexuality, and what she saw as a lack of strong female role models in the Bible, explaining "I thought it was a nice guide, but it certainly wasn't how I was going to live my life." Her "religious devotion [began] to wane" at the age of 15 when she guest-starred as a teenager with gonorrhea in the throat in a 1996 episode of the television series Chicago Hope. Her friends at church reacted negatively to her role, making her lose faith in the church. However, she has stated that she still holds her belief in God despite leaving the church.
Relationships and family

While filming Dark Angel in January 2000, Alba began a three year relationship with her co-star Michael Weatherly, which caused controversy due to their twelve year age gap.[64] Weatherly proposed to Alba on her twentieth birthday, which she accepted. In August 2003, Alba and Weatherly announced that they'd ended their relationship. In July 2007, Alba spoke out about the breakup, saying "I don't know [why I got engaged]. I was a virgin. He was 12 years older than me. I thought he knew better. My parents weren't happy. They're really religious. They believe God wouldn't allow the Bible to be written if it wasn't what they are supposed to believe. I'm completely different." Alba had at one time said she envisioned a much older man as her ideal partner, making references to Morgan Freeman, Sean Connery, Robert Redford, and Michael Caine. She said, "I have this thing for older men. They've been around and know so much.
Alba met Cash Warren, son of actor Michael Warren, while making Fantastic Four in 2004.Alba married Warren in Los Angeles on Monday, May 19, 2008. On June 7, 2008, Alba gave birth to a baby girl, Honor Marie Warren, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. The first pictures of Honor Marie appeared in OK! magazine, which paid a reported $1.5 million for them. Alba has said that she would like to have more children. On February 16, 2011, Alba confirmed that she and Warren are expecting their second child.

megan fox actor Brian Austin Green since 2004

Personal life
Fox has been involved with actor Brian Austin Green since 2004, having first met on the set of Hope & Faith when she was 18 and he was 30. In 2006, they became engaged, and then broke it off in February 2009. Some time later in 2009, Fox was targeted by a group of fashion-motivated criminals known as "The Bling Ring", who robbed Green's home because she was living with him. Fox and Green were engaged again in June 2010, and on June 24, 2010, the two wed in a private ceremony at the Four Seasons Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii.
In 2011, Fox's Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen co-star Shia LaBeouf stated that he and Fox had shared a romantic relationship. Fox's representative later confirmed the story. The two previously stated that they were only friends, with LaBeouf saying that despite a mutual attraction, they chose not to act on it in fear of potential problems in the relationship affecting their work environment.
Fox is a fan of comic books, anime, and video games, and her favorite artist is Michael Turner, whose Fathom comic she describes as a longtime obsession. She has two dogs, including a Pomeranian named after Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious. She has stated that she supports the legalization of marijuana, openly admitting to smoking it, and saying that she does not consider it a drug and would be first in line to buy a pack of joints. Additionally, Fox has expressed a distrust of "all boys-slash-men" in general, as well as women in the industry. "I especially don’t trust girls in this industry, because it’s incredibly competitive, and I’m just not interested," she stated.
In September 2008, Fox alluded to being bisexual in an interview with GQ magazine. She said that, when she was 18 years old, she fell in love with and sought to establish a relationship with a female stripper. She used this experience to illustrate her belief that "all humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes" and additionally showed interest in Olivia Wilde. In May 2009, she confirmed her bisexuality. In the June 2009 issue of ELLE, however, she stated that she somewhat distorted the events of her relationship with the stripper, saying she has given certain male writers "an amped-up version" of her past. "They’re boys; they’re easily toyed with," she said. "I tell stories and have them eating out of my hand. Not all of it is true. In fact, most of it is bullshit." Fox said, "I never said she was my girlfriend! I just said that I loved her, and I did love her. The real story is more sobering. It’s not a sexy, fun-time, fantasy story. But that’s not the story you tell GQ."
Fox has a fear of flying; she said she developed this about the time she turned 20. She has had to come up with ways to deal with it in order to avoid having panic attacks when getting onto a plane, most notably by listening to Britney Spears songs. She also has brachydactyly ("shortness of the fingers and toes"),[ and has additionally been open about her insecurities and self-harming, acknowledging that she has low self-esteem:
... I don't want to elaborate. I would never call myself a cutter. Girls go through different phases when they're growing up, when they're miserable and do different things, whether it's an eating disorder or they dabble in cutting. I'm really insecure about everything. I see what I look like, but there are things that I like and things that I dislike. My hair is good. The color of my eyes is good, obviously. I'm too short. But overall, I'm not super excited about the whole thing. I never think I'm worthy of anything... I have a sick feeling of being mocked all the time. I have a lot of self-loathing. Self-loathing doesn't keep me from being happy. But that doesn't mean I don't struggle. I am very vulnerable. But I can be aggressive, hurtful, domineering and selfish, too. I'm emotionally unpredictable and all over the place. I'm a control freak.
