Amy Winehouse Is Smokin' Healthy!

by celebuzz on Jun. 24, 2008 09:25 AM / 5 Comments

Amy Winehouse checked her crack self out of a London hospital on Monday.

Amy defied tuberculosis rumors with a celebratory cancer stick on her way to rehearse for her appearance at this Friday's Nelson Mandela birthday concert. She's always giving death the middle finger, that one.

Winehouse's spokesvictims are now claiming that Winehouse does not actually have emphysema, but is in the "early stages" of the sickness.

Her rep Chris Goodman says that it's a "scarring of the lungs which could lead to emphysema. If she keeps doing the wrong things, then it could lead to it. If she does the right things, it won't."

Goodman said that doctors will have to ultimately okay Winehouse appearing at the concert to forget lyrics and vomit behind speakers.

"She will really enjoy it—she always does," he says.

Well, yeah, rock concerts come with drug dealers backstage!

Quotables /

“Okay, remember when Amy Winehouse's dad Mitch said she has emphysema and was going to die? Well, he might have embellished things a bit. Turns out Amy has "low level signs" of the disease. But it's technically not emphysema and the damage is reversible - if she quits smoking. So, perhaps Mitch was getting a preemptive jump on when she'll have it. My money's on July. Anyway, here's what he told BBC Radio:

"Amy really hasn't got emphysema, there's traces of emphysema. Obviously, if she doesn't quit smoking, it's going to get worse, like everyone else ... with patience her lungs will recover completely."”

The Superficial

“Amy Winehouse left the hospital in London yesterday after being admitted 8 days ago for ... um ... "fainting". The Sun says…

AMY WINEHOUSE looks smiles better after leaving hospital yesterday — in a picture that will give hope to millions of her fans. She was snapped in a car in London as it was revealed she has mild emphysema — caused by smoking crack cocaine and cigarettes. But her dad Mitch said she would recover from the lung disease if she quits. Amy hopes to perform at both Glastonbury and NELSON MANDELA’s birthday concert in London’s Hyde Park this weekend.

And then Amy never did drugs or smoked again. The End! Yaay!

Except for yesterday, just minutes after walking out of the hospital, when she had the cigarette in the picture above (from the Daily Mail). Will she get drunk after this? Who knows? When you’re a crack addict on the verge of death, you just have to follow your heart.”

“According to reps for the 24-year-old walking health hazard, Amy Winehouse has not been diagnosed with emphysema as her father indicated a few days ago. Chris Goodman said of his client, Amy, that she suffers from ""scarring of the lungs which could lead to emphysema."

Basically, if she engages in activities like SMOKING DIRECTLY AFTER LEAVING THE HOSPITAL like, I don't know, she's DOING RIGHT HERE, then she puts herself at risk for developing the disease.

These pictures were taken on a field trip from the hospital for Amy to shop for ballet flats and attend rehearsal for her upcoming performance for Nelson Mandela. You know the organizers for that event have to be biting their nails, just hoping and praying that Amy keeps it together for the concert.

I seriously hope she doesn't accidentally catch herself on fire on stage (and you know she's probably come close to it before) because if she does, everybody's going to be high as all hell. Hmm, maybe she can sing this classic little tune.”
