Amy Winehouse Hospitalized After Fainting Spell
Well, it’s been almost three months since Amy Winehouse‘s last hospitalization, so she was probably about due.
The Associated Foreign Press reports that the 25-year-old “Rehab” singer was admitted to the hospital and kept overnight for observation on Friday after passing out in her home. The incident occurred on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, where Winehouse has been vacationing for, like, forever.
According to Wine-O’s British publicist, Chris Goodman, she collapsed while “running around” with a group of children.
“She fainted at home (in St. Lucia) and they took her in for observation, mainly to do with her medication to check everything was okay,” Goodman says. “They told her that she was dehydrated and needed to drink more water.”
Winehouse needs to be reminded to drink water, and yet she wants to adopt kids? Perhaps not the best-thought-out plan ever concocted…
German sportswear maker Adidas said yesterday its first quarter net profit fell 97 per cent as the economic crisis crimped the company’s sales, especially in North America.
The Herzogenaurach-based company said net profit for the January-March period fell to just €5 million ($11.5 million) from €169 million in the first quarter of 2008.
Sales for the period fell 2 per cent to €2.58 billion from €2.62 billion in the first quarter of 2008.
The company, whose brands include Reebok and TaylorMade Adidas Golf products, said it expects sales to decrease at a low to mid-single digit rate this year.
The results pushed Adidas’ stock more than 11 per cent lower to €26.21 in Frankfurt trading.
“We’ve faced a number of economic and market challenges in the first quarter of 2009,” said Herbert Hainer, Adidas’ chief executive.
“Our results have been materially affected by higher input prices, currency devaluation effects and restructuring costs,” Hainer said.
