We’ve had plenty of pictures of stars entering rehab, looking unkempt and lost, so it’s nice to see Amy Winehouse out and about looking great. Or at least better. She headed out of her rehab facility in London to get her teeth fixed. Glamming up for the Grammys?
Emerging from a second visit to a London dentist on Saturday, Amy flashed a bright white smile to onlookers before being escorted by her father Mitch back to the centre she is receiving treatment in.
This is a far-cry from December when she was spotted with gaps in her mouth suggesting her teeth had fallen out.
A friend close to her admitted at the time: “She has one missing from the front of her mouth, and another one at the back which is less visible.
“Her mouth is full of holes and she is desperately worried she is going to lose more. She has actually pulled a tooth out herself, which is absolutely disgusting.”
“Her gums are always red and sore as a result of it and some of the teeth are loosening.”
It’s absolutely fantastic that her supportive family were with her. The Daily Mail picture show Amy as a poster girl for rehab, cheekily sticking her tongue out at the photographer. She’s gained some much-needed weight, her mouth is full of teeth now, and her beehive is back, and she’s fully dressed. Combined with her trademark eye make up she’s back to being the Amy we all fell in love with. Swoon. She looks like a recovering addict should look, not like when a celebrity sells their rehab story to a magazine and then gets some glossy pictures of themselves taken looking fabulous. No one looks great three days out of rehab.
Amy went back into the rehab facility, without making any side trips to see her husband in jail, or visit her crack dealer, or any other destructive behaviour. She’s also apparently turned down the Osbournes’ offer to stay with them after she checks out. While I’m not sure if Ozzy and Sharon should be trusted with anyone’s mental health – they couldn’t even train their dogs – Ozzy is a good example of why you should stay off the drugs. If I’m going to have an exciting, amazing music career, I’d like to remember it.
The ever charming Keith Richards also has some advice for Amy.
Asked at the Berlin International Film Festival – where he’s promoting new Martin Scorsese Rolling Stones documentary ‘Shine A Light’ – whether he had advice for Amy and her battle with drugs, Richards answered, “She should get her act together.”
The veteran rocker – no stranger to addictive substances himself – then helpfully added, “Apart from that, I have got nothing to say to the bitch.”
He’s an absolute gentleman, isn’t he? Don’t hold your breath waiting for Keith Richards to get his act together. Mick Jagger added that when the Rolling Stones were young, there were no rehab facilities, or at least they weren’t aware of them.
Amy won five Grammys last night. Her album “Back to Black” won for best pop vocal album, she received best female pop vocal performance and single of the year for “Rehab,” , and she also won best female pop vocalist and best new artist.
