Although the 23-year-old party-loving British singer Amy Winehouse is as stubborn as it gets, it looks like someone made her see sense and finally do what we've all been expecting of her. And even though her denial to seek assistance has got her to write one of her most successful hits yet, it all stopped being funny last week when she was rushed to hospital following an alleged but unconfirmed three-day party involving...cover your ears, y'all...cocaine, Ecstasy, (horse tranquilizer drug) Ketamine, as well as lots of whiskey and vodka. Well, after that lovely mix it's a wonder she's still alive, and I believe it's in her best interest to stay like that for a long time.

Amy loves a good party, and she notoriously loves drugs and booze even more. But her latest escapade almost ended tragically, as the singer was rushed to London University College hospital by her husband Blake Fielder-Civil in a semi-conscious state, and the doctors had to pump her stomach and give her a shot of adrenaline to revive her. It was so scary that even Winehouse herself - once she woke up, which must have taken a while - admitted that she was terrified at the state in which she had managed to get herself into. "I don't know how to explain what happened. I don't really know myself," Winehouse stated after the event. "I can't remember what I looked like. I couldn't recognize myself. It was terrifying. I was terrified. I was so out of control. It just happened. It shocked me. I'm sorry. I just don't know what got into me," she added. "I never want to feel that way again".

Well, that doesn't sound too bad. I mean it does, the part about it all being frightening and not recognizing herself, but the part about never wanting to go through that again sounds good - and has an air of maturity about it that we haven't been used to at all whenever stubborn but talented Amy was involved. But she finally gave in to the inevitable and is currently at The Priory in the Roehampton section of Britain, where she will undergo treatment to help her get over her issues. And if this means we'll get a new, more mature Amy focused on work and the quality of her albums, that's definitely the best news I've heard in a while. So Amy, on behalf of all those who value your talent and enjoy your music, take time and manage your life - your rehab stint will be a "yes, yes, yes" from everyone.
