CBS News is reporting that Grammy Award winning Singer, Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London home on Saturday. She was 27 years old. The details of her death are not immediately known, although the London Ambulance Service arrived to find her already dead. One can’t help but think that drugs and/or drinking played a factor, although Winehouse has had other health problems as well. She was recently hospitalized for feeling weak and fainting.
Winehouse recently had to cancel several concerts after an awful show in Serbia in which she could barely stand up.
Celebs are already reacting to the singer’s death. Tom Green, Country Singer Jimmy Wayne, Dr. Drew Pinsky and even Demi Moore tweeted about the death moments after it hit the Twitterverse.
Amy joins “Club 27“, all the influential musicians who have died at the age of 27… Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, etc.
This is so sad… Gary Coleman suffered a fall last week, had a brain hemmorage, and died Friday at the age of 42.

So sad! Miley’s bus driver “Uncle Bill” was killed in a tour bus crash in Virginia. Apparently he suffered a cardiac arrest while driving and the bus ran off the road. One other person was injured, Miley was not on the bus.

Because Fame Kills.
Really, how freaking ironic about the photographer that dropped dead at the sight of her the other night. I mean not really because of her, but she does aim to shock and disgust.
At least she’s wearing a black atrocity.
This is SO disturbing! DJ AM survived a plane crash last year in which 4 other people DIED… I mean he pretty much CHEATED death… you’d think that would make one cherish life and appreciate all he had… but instead he popped a bunch of pills and now he’s dead.
This is all speculation, but there were apparently some prescription pills found in his hotel room and he hadn’t been seen or heard from in a few days.
His last Twitter post on Tuesday:
“New York, New York. Big city of dreams, but everything in New York ain’t always what it seems.”
Quote from a Grandmaster Flash song, but very CHILLING!
RIP DJ AM, another talented star ruined by prescription pills!!!!!!
