I’m guessing most drivers can be accused of a bit of road rage now and then. Before I moved to New York, I found screaming really, really helped. And when it would bother my passengers, I’d explain that it was really the most polite thing I could do, because the alternative was to chase the *$%#@* down and assault him. So really I was showing the utmost restraint and decorum.
And while a lot of people have their own little coping mechanisms for the frustrations of the road, very few of us get out of our cars and wander about the highway during an infuriatingly long traffic jam. But I’m also guessing that very few of us are hopped up on a myriad of illicit substances: and those are two things that set us apart from Amy Winehouse.
When Amy Winehouse gets stuck in a traffic jam, she gets out of her car and saunters about in exasperation, displaying all sorts of bizarre behaviors for the paparazzi to eagerly snap.
Where Amy Winehouse goes, chaos follows. The troubled star caused something of a spectacle on the M40 today after she found herself stuck in a traffic jam.
Not content to sit patiently in her car, the Rehab singer roamed the motorway, giving drivers more than they bargained for as she went from car to car in an effort to scrounge a lighter for her cigarette to pass the time.
At one point she pulled up her purple vest to bare her midriff as she did a spot of sun baking while leaning on the bonnet of a car.
In a troubling sign, the 24-year-old’s arms were covered in fresh scratches and cigarette burns, thought to be the result of self-harming.

That’s nice of the Daily Mail to insinuate that Amy was just trying to get a bit of healthy color on her deathly white stomach, but that doesn’t appear to be what she’s doing. From the expressions on her face, I’m pretty sure she’s hallucinating, and likely trying to ward off some demon spirit she thinks she sees by blinding them with the brightest of white lights.
Here’s Amy wandering the M40 in a quest for a lighter today in Oxfordshire. She really is one of the people. Images thanks to WENN.
The M40? she should thank her lucky stars it wasn’t the M1-she’d be splattered all over it by now
yikes. her stomach is frightening.
coke WILL make you pretty restless…
I can’t believe this woman isn’t locked up in a psychiatric ward yet. What’s it gonna take?
What I also find remarkable is how no matter how grungy, groggy and gruelling she looks, she always has her trademark eyeliner wing thingies in perfect order. Maybe she’s had them tattooed on, I wouldn’t put it past her.
I find her ‘midriff’ absolutely frightening, you can plainly see that those are not abdomen muscles…those are her organs. sick.
She is a special person, a ‘once in a generation’ artistic light… yet everyone is just watching this horror unfold. Why doesn’t someone help her?
She has so much talant, but one morning we will read the press and she will be gone. Someone please help her!
She’s really starting to resemble a starving third world child from the neck down.
GROSS
Can we send Britney’s dad over to England with a great big net to trap Amy and keep her out of trouble?
What in hell is she doing in that last photo?? Looks like she’s got a lit half-cigarette stuck in “her” hair, and somebody’s handing her a phone and some keys, but she’s saying, “can’t drive today – see my stomach?”
I find it hard to believe that anyone would have sex with that nastiness. She is one fugly mofo.
But then again, she’s not screwing anything that isn’t hopped up on some kind of drug, so there ya go.
And I may be the only person in the world who hasn’t listened to any of hers songs all the way through. I just can’t bring myself to do it. 😐
sad…hope she gets some help.
Cari:
You’re NOT the only person who hasn’t listened to any of her songs all the way through–I’ve tried, I swear! Just to be fair before I made up my mind. But omg it was awful. I see that her voice is capable of wonderful music, but she is a train wreck in progress. I don’t want to see this, and I don’t understand why someone doesn’t put her away for awhile, to keep her from hurting herself anymore!
This is so awful… 🙁
Lock this cracked out bitch up already! I did feel sorry for at first, thinking what a waste of talent she was, but now im just over her trainwreck of a life being everywhere……Like the Britney saga not that long ago, unless she is removed from her enablers and put into some real treatment this isnt goin to end anytime soon…except by the way of a fatal overdose……
amy has some serious problems both mental and physical due to a drug problem how does that make her a bitch?
I just saw a recent video on YouTube of her at the Jazz Club (5/4/08), she’s high out of her head and she can’t keep her balance. Her stomach is so constipated from all the drugs she’s using.
To get a better aspect of Winehouse’s illness, you should read, “Clapton – The Autobiography.” It’s a brilliant book, Clapton explains the method behind the madness that made him a ‘true’ legend. I wish Winehouse would read or at least get someone to read this book to her…..
Why, oh why has Amy got a lit cigarette in her hair?? And even more mortifying, no-one around her seems to care! With the amount of product in that wig/hairpiece, her hair could go up at any minute.
Poor Amy……just try and live through it – for musics sake….OK?? 😐
JOHN above is right: here is a person with God-given talent that society should nurture, yet in our new 21st century fucked-up world, we (the public and entertainment media) allow a human tragedy to unfold before our very eyes and do not help her.
Arguably, “we” are in effect abusing her through neglect as indeed, she is abusing herself of her own free will.
New York Tony…….you can’t help some-one until they want it – are ready to accept help
if brit’s dad isn’t available to sneak up on her with a great big net, maybe jack hannah could? then he could release her into a chimpanzee exhibit in a nice quiet zoo somewhere. zoos value things that keep the animals occupied so they don’t get bored. and the chimps would have lots to do, what with grooming amy’s hair. 😀
she is hot in the car and wants a lighter some people re just random
god i’m sick of her shit
The words ‘demonic possession’ come to mind. Not things with horns and natty red clothes, just entities who play the muse, but constantly take a LOT more than they give. Helping someone ruin themselves is a fun and self-indulgent game to some, when it’s not your body you’re destroying. Just a thought.
I’ve finally reached the age of recieving my Social Security Benefits. During my teenage years I made my parents suffer thru listning to Bobby Rydell to the Beatles. TV shows were Dr. Kildare and the American Bandstand. Ed Sullivan, Jackie Gleason, Gunsmoke and even Dean Martin & the Gold Diggers were the thing then. So called talent today isn’t talent- it’s sickness.
