Pete Doherty kissed Amy Winehouse goodbye last night after visiting with her immediately following his first gig since he got out of the clink (unsurprisingly on drug charges).

We’re not exactly sure what this picture represents, but it’s something. It’s two of the biggest British celebrities, and they both have very serious and extensively documented drug habits.

Amy got arrested when someone filmed her smoking crack, Pete has filmed himself taking a hit off a chicken-shaped pipe.

It’s some sort of unholy unity, what you are witnessing directly above.

Some new pictures of Amy Winehouse looking like a drug addict. You know, because she is one and we’re all watching it go downhill.

First, Wino was stuck on a freeway while an accident was being cleared and photos revealed some new cuts on her arm, not to mention that they make her look like a roadside hooker.

Then, someone found her running through a park behind the studio she’s currently working at. The photoset is really a wonder to see. It’s nature meets meth-faced holocaust victim.

When British tabloids reported the arrest of Amy Winehouse this morning, there was a certain amount of skepticism surrounding the report. It failed to mention why Amy had been arrested, though we could all very well guess.

The story developed to include the tidbit that Amy had, as predicted, been arrested on drug charges. Just not new ones.

It was reported a while back that Amy Winehouse was all lined up to record the theme song for the new James Bond film, The Quantum of Solace.

Thing is, she’s “not ready to work” and now that honor has been stripped from her.

Was it the drugs? It was the drugs wasn’t it?

Details inside.

We told you this was going to happen yesterday, but unlike the many threats of prison those Brits through around like so many bangers in mash, this looks like it’s actually happening.

Bail is expected soon:

A rep from Scotland Yard just told TMZ they have arrested Amy Winehouse on suspicion of assault.

She is currently at the Holborn Police Station. She should be released within the hour.

Wino is accused of allegedly headbutting a guy outside a bar in London earlier this week. The maximum sentence for common assault in Britain is six months in prison.

Yesterday, a whole bunch of Amy Winehouse pictures from her “crazy night out” went flying around the internet, and we spent most of our lunch break playing Wino or Zombie.

Our favorite photo is the one above, because she had to stop moving briefly and let her eyes roll up into her head what must have been about 20 feet away from her paparazzi swarm.

We couldn’t post the picture in good conscience until there was some news to accompany it.

Luckily, Wino head-butted a guy trying to get a cab.

“Police are investigating an alleged assault on Chalk Farm Road at approximately 3:20 am on April 23,” says a Metropolitan Police spokesman. “A 38-year-old man [contacted] Kentish Town police station and alleged a 24-year-old woman had assaulted him. No arrests have been made as yet but inquiries continue.”

Winehouse, 24, was alleged to have headbutted a man outside of a bar who tried to hail her a taxi, according to a detailed account in The Sun. The article is accompanied by a slideshow sequence of photos which include one of the “Rehab” singer walking into a lamppost.

The lamppost picture can be seen here, but it’s not as entertaining as just picturing Amy Winehouse headbutting a guy, then turning around right into a lamppost.

Ah, Wino, always entertaining, possibly jail-bound.

Amy Winehouse is still on the drugs and still rotting away her face by snorting various substances and distilling cocaine in to some sort of cocaine “rock” by mixing it with baking soda, heating it, and letting it cool.

We can see our editor’s email now: “stop encouraging your readers to make their own crack.”

Don’t, because what happens is that people start to hold it against you creatively, like what is happening to Amy Winehouse right now.

The word is that Amy’s new album is well underway and includes “dark” songs about death and suicide. That and it has been pushed back to 2009.

This isn’t boding well for Wino, who has been told by Universal that if she doesn’t get clean, they will not release her album.

Why this is smart vs. why this is stupid, plus details after the cut!

The life of a paparazzi isn’t all about having the shit beat out of you by other paparazzi.

Take this video of Miley Cyrus mocking a photog that fell and singing Happy Birthday to a videographer.

Even on the other side of the pond, paps were having fun arguing with Amy Winehouse after she told a cabbie to wait on the street for half-an-hour, then decided not to go anywhere:

They tried to make her go to rehab so many times that we can’t listen to the freaking song anymore!

AHHH!

That’s right, Amy Winehouse is being prepped by her handlers for another trip to rehab. The woman just can’t stay clean, as evidenced by her recent decline into Crack Face.

Amy’s reps say she has an impetigo infection, but that’s been going on for weeks and is only getting worse. It’s Crack Face.

A doctor (we hope a real one) told The Sun:

“The damage is quite severe, but not unusual with crack cocaine abuse. She’s got a number of sores, some of which look infected, and others that have formed ulcers.”

Infected face? Check.

Grammys? Check.

Boyfriend still in jail? Check.

What a great 2008 it has been for Amy Winehouse.

The Sun also reports that the entire country of England has too much temptation for Wino, so they are looking to send her to rehab elsewhere, somewhere farther from Pete Doherty, no doubt.

“There are too many temptations for her in the UK — people around her in London are making it impossible for her to stay clean for any length of time. Her management had considered flying her to a clinic in Israel but are now looking further afield. They are assessing a clinic in Cape Town in South Africa.”

Whatever, this girl is damaged goods, and the damage is slowly becoming irreparable.

The Sun is running old pictures of Amy Winehouse, and – holy god – drugs are horrible.

Before we tried drugs, we didn’t have any facial hair, cool friends or decent taste in music. We didn’t even understand the later Beatles (we also didn’t understand bitches, and didn’t understand Yoko-era Lennon).

But there’s quite a difference between using drugs to cross a threshold and riding drugs like a rodeo cowboy as it madly tries to buck off your career and good looks.

Ok, so we know that Kristin Davis took some sex pics, and we saw Hills “star” Audrina Patridge bear most everything for a shot at the pages of Playboy, obviously Amy Winehouse is next on the celeb nude/semi-nude circuit.

The above promo shot for photographer Carolyn Djangoly is to raise awareness about breast cancer among young women. This photo will show up in the April issue of British women’s magazine Easy Living, which we don’t get, so here it is now!

Once again, Amy Winehouse would be hot if she wasn’t a self-mutilating drug-addict.

She might even be hot if she was a slightly fatter self-mutilating drug addict.

George Clooney and Julia Roberts have offered Amy Winehouse $1 million US dollars to fly her cracked out ass over to New York City on May 5th and play a show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute.

Because Clooney and Roberts aren’t necessarily the slumming type, the quest immediately spread outwards looking for the real mover and shaker behind the Wino push.

A source told UK’s The Mirror that party host Giorgio Armani told Clooney and Roberts to seek the diva: “Giorgio has made no secret to his friends that he would love to work with Amy. He sees this party as an ideal opportunity to sound her out about future projects together.”

Projects? Armani is one of the lead names in fashion and Amy Winehouse wears ballet shoes everyday.

Yeah, and she wears a beehive and garish eye make-up, which we love her for, but is this some sort of new style?

Stop trying to bring another British Invasion down on our heads (though if something were to fall on our heads, a huge fake beehive might help)!

Amy Winehouse’s husband, Incarcerated Blake, is in prison due to a witness tampering case. Blake went in front of a judge to plead not guilty against charges of attacking a pub landlord and then later conspiring with him to withdraw as a witness at the trial.

He’s due in court this April, but Winehouse has been cleared after being arrested for questioning and released on bail.

Now we can only hope that Incarcerated Blake loops through the justice system while Amy realizes that he’s probably into her for the money.

Bt, if she’s stuck with him through months of incarceration while she kicked drugs for a week or so and won some Grammys, she might just stick with him, once again proving the point that most women shoot way above or way below their standards.

The Sun claims that Amy Winehouse is back on various drugs after cleaning up to get her US visa, which she received but didn’t use.

The singer is moving out of her London home this week, signaling what could be a new beginning for the falling star, but we’re inclined to believe parts of The Sun story.

Writes the rag:

The tormented singer, 24, who only last month spent two weeks in rehab, has returned to her old habits after telling chums: “I can’t go on.”

Amy — whose husband is in jail — is taking cocaine, ecstasy, cannabis and booze to dull her emotional pain, according to friends. They shockingly revealed:

She got a reluctant pal to smuggle drugs into the London rehab clinic on her FIRST NIGHT there.

Was “clean” for less than TEN days — in her failed bid to pass a drugs test to get a US visa to attend the Grammy Awards.

The pal added: “We were sat around the table when she held a lighter over her hand and let the flame scar her skin.

“Amy has been up and down in a way she never was before. One minute she’ll be fine, the next she’ll be in a heap on the floor, screaming she can’t go on. She feels that rehab is turning her into some sort of zombie with no emotion.”

Yeah, that basically sounds like the Amy Winehouse we remember from way back before, when Blake Incarcerated was just Blake, that skeezy dude that married Amy Winehouse for the money.

If Britney continues to cloister herself away under her father’s watchful eye, at least it looks like Amy Winehouse will take the crown.

No one has said it out loud, but the public wants another Princess Di to sacrifice at the alter of fame.
