Two Charged With Giving Amy Winehouse Drugs

LONDON — Police have charged a man and a woman in London with supplying drugs to Amy Winehouse.

The charges stem from a video that appeared to show the singer smoking crack cocaine.

London police say John Blagrove and Cara Burton have been charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine and MDMA, also known as ecstasy.

The suspects were released on bail Thursday until their next court appearance on July 1.

Police began an investigation after photos from the footage were published in The Sun newspaper in January. Detectives say Winehouse will not be charged in the case.

The singer has seen her rise to fame overshadowed by media attention to her turbulent private life. She is best known for her breakthrough hit "Rehab."

Somebody needs to get power of attorney and put her in rehab despite her lyrical protests.

Some people are too stupid to realize when they've hit rock bottom

Sadly, she'll probably be dead within a year and her beautiful voice will be silenced forever. What a waste.

usually crackheads make u laugh with their odd jestures and dances. but this one -- she makes u shake your head in pity.

Of course the story that she willingly, voraciously consumed said substances isn't really a story I guess.

What?!

Isn't she dead yet?

Ah yes, Felicity has another heartfelt, compassionate comment. Felicity, is it true that the researcher who isolated mad cow disease named it after you?
