(Newser) – After the Caribbean resort where Amy Winehouse is supposedly detoxing cut off her booze supply, the oft-addled singer has been seen on all fours prowling guest tables for drinks to steal, and begging vacationers to get her alcohol. Winehouse begins each day with yoga, but is often seen smoking a joint or swigging from a bottle by nightfall, the Sun reports.

“We keep catching her crawling past bars, or hiding behind chairs,” a resort source says. “She grabs guests’ drinks and runs off, like a squirrel with a nut.”

well if being a legend requires heavy doses of drugs and booze, not to mention those disfiguring tattoos, I will be more than happy to quietly fade from obscurity into obscurity......bit intresting perspective though

She's an addict! One of God's own prototypes. Too weird to live, yet too rare to die.

what a ledgend! so refreshing to have people doing things their way. . . judging by all the criticism she's receiving for her bevahiour, she's on her way to being an icon (if she isn't one already). afterall, it is the originals that are remembered, not the dull.
