Amy Winehouse Fights Bad News with KFC
Amy Winehouse Fights Bad News with KFC
While she’s been riding the high that comes along with winning multiple Grammy awards, things have taken a quick turn for the worse in the life of Amy Winehouse.
The Rehab singer, who had what looks like a lovebite on her neck and smudges on her denim shorts, was spotted looking a bit distraught as she puffed on a cigarette while grabbing KFC with her bodyguard in Camden Town on Sunday (February 17).
This was probably due to the news today that her husband Blake Fielder-Civil was rushed into the jailhouse hospital after a suspected heroin overdose.
It is reported that six other inmates also required treatment in Pentonville Prison’s hospital block, with a Prison Service spokesman confirming: “A small number of prisoners were treated in health care following the consumption of an unknown substance.”
So much for basking in the glory of her five Grammys!
Foxy Brown Freed From Prison
Foxy Brown Freed From Prison
Eight months after she was incarcerated in a New York City prison, rapper Foxy Brown is a free woman. And she couldn’t be happier.
Brown (real name Inga Marchand) was sentenced to one year behind bars for assaulting two nail salon stylists over a $20 manicure back in October 2006.
But by September 2007 a judge ruled that she wasn’t taking her punishment seriously, and thus sent her to prison. A month later she was locked up in isolation for 76 days as a result of a shoving match with inmates and refusal to take a drug test.
Back in January, Brown requested to be released early due to an ear infection. She wrote a four page handwritten note to the judge, saying, “Yes, I’ve made some bad choices and stupid mistakes. But please understand that sitting in a prison with murderers and criminals is not rehabilitating or what I need to deal with my inner issues.”
Foxy was escorted from the NYC correctional facility by City Councilman Charles Barron, a privilege that isn’t usually granted.
Paris Hilton’s Special Prison Treatment: Under Review
Paris Hilton’s Special Prison Treatment: Under Review
Most likely, Paris Hilton wants to put the whole prison ordeal behind her. But it looks like it won’t be fading into the distance as quickly as she’d like.
Yesterday, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department began investigating Paris’ treatment during her stay in the county jail. There is an internal probe seeking to answer some key questions regarding the heiress’ days behind bars.
One questionable practice in the dispute was that Paris was issued a cordless phone to call her friends, instead of having to wait in line and use a pay phone at designated hours, according to sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore.
They will also be investigating the claim that Paris was issued a brand new uniform when she entered the facility, rather than the recycled outfit that is usually given to inmates. Another dispute surrounds whether a captain was designated to deliver the Simple Life star’s mail, instead of inmate trustees.
“We’re going to investigate it and get to the bottom of it and find out exactly what happened,” said Whitmore. But you gotta wonder if the LA County Sheriff’s Department might better spend their time investigating things that actually matter!
Nicole Richie Goes To Jail… For 82 Minutes
Nicole Richie Goes To Jail… For 82 Minutes
Earlier this summer, Nicole Richie told Diane Sawyer that she was going to jail as, “my way of paying my dues and taking responsibility and being an adult.” So, for 82 minutes yesterday, Nicole Richie was an adult.
The initial sentence for her DUI conviction was four days. However due to overcrowding, the Simple Life star was released less than two hours after she was put in jail.
Richie showed up at the jail around 3:15 pm yesterday, and was released at 4:37pm… yesterday. I’ve sat through movies that last longer than her jail sentence. And through it all, Nicole was said to be a model inmate.
“Miss Richie was cooperative during the process,” said a statement released by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. She was, “treated in the same manner as other inmates with a similar sentence.” And I’m sure her name and notoriety had nothing to do with it.
