Hot Mess Friday

Today’s Hot Mess? Amy Winehouse. (May 22, 2008)

Amy Winehouse fled her home last night (21.05.08), claiming ghosts were trying to harm her.

The troubled 24-year-old singer says a poltergeist – who she has named Henry – is haunting her North London flat and is trying to harm her.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I totally believe in ghosts and it very well could be that Amy’s flat is haunted. But my guess? Henry is actually the name she gave her hallucination after she freebased some badly cut heroin. Or maybe she’d just tweaked her last batch of homemade meth. Whatever. I’m thinking Henry is just her subconscious telling her she is a big hot mess.

Wait, there’s more!

Winehouse, 24, was said to have punched a man inside a bar early Wednesday
morning, then later head-butted a 38-year-old man who tried to hail her a
cab.

Assault carries a six-month prison sentence in London, where the incidents reportedly took place.

Unfazed by her legal situation, Winehouse left her home at about 10 p.m. Thursday night to go out on yet another bender.

Amy, Amy, Amy. Fine. You punched a guy in the bar. I’m sure Henry told you to do it. But why on earth would you head-butt the only friend you had left in the world? The only person who was willing to help you at the time?

Big. Hot. Mess.
