All these stories we read about her, it's really sad.
I hope she get's herself together...soon!

Not a bad singing voice but what an awful personality!!

When you consider the genuine tragedy that you hear some people go through in their lives and still manage to maintain a positive attitude, and then look at people like Amy who has never had any, it makes you weep!

I know what you mean but is it not the same for this young lady who at 24 years of age has the eyes of the whole country upon her? I'm not condoning her behaviour or excusing it but I do think she is under a lot of pressure and has slipped into a very bad life of hard drug and alcohol addiction. She seems to have little respect for her own body judging by all the tattoos that she will no doubt regret one day . I think Amy is a MASSIVE talent and sincerely hope that she will not soon be another Rock and Roll tragedy. However, I wouldn't like to put any money on it and I fear the worst for her. I think she is in a desperate state.

Hi Chris - yes, I agree that we live in a celebrity obsessed world, and that Amy has probably had all sorts of pressure on her from record cos, the media, PR etc. But she presumably has also earned quite a bit of money as a result of all that, which she surely could put to good use to try and sort herself out. I appreciate that that is a sweeping statement to make. I don't mean to sound cold and uncaring but she really needs to want to change in order for it to happen.

I couldn't agree with you more Michael. She could even give her money to me and that would take the pressure off a bit! Joking aside, she is a walking disaster and the alarm bells are ringing. I just hope she wakes up from this drug and alcohol induced stupor and sorts herself out quick.

I see that our "friend" Amy is still in the news then!
Now she has a problem with her medication!
Yes I do feel sorry for her but why do the media think that we need to know this!

Next week we shall no doubt be reading that Amy has......changed her underwear again!

My view on this is that we don't need to know too much about what is going on. A little news now and again is far better I think.

Problem with her medication..........she's probably taking toooooo much of it.......................and I don't mean the prescribed medication either...............along with the other medication called alcohol (which Harry seems to know a lot about today, with his foot

).

Harry can't even blame it on alcohol Robert, his cure is cold water compresses, and it's working.

Didn't Harry have a similar problem last year Lena and Harry?
It's not gout is it, too much rich living?!!!

Well, who knows. I shall just have to cut down on the oysters and caviare, and just have them twice a week instead of the Five.
He will still insist on smoked salmon, king prawns and scrambed egg for breakfast every morning though, and washed down with a glass or Two of Bollingers.

Does this sound like a lot of Bollingers ??

Marian · Post by **Marian** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:12 pm

That's a whole lot of Bollingers Lena!

Hope Harry is improving in leaps and bounds before long anyway.
